This country has a health problem. It"s common knowledge that there is almost a 33% obesity rate in children according to the American Heart Organization, and many solutions have been offered to address the epidemic. MVHS replaced many of its more unhealthy foods in the cafeteria with healthier alternatives four years ago and substituted fruit juice for the soda in the vending machines with fruit juice. However, there is another solution that has yet be enacted, one that is largely controversial due to the academic nature of MVHS: mandatory Physical Education classes for all four years. P.E. classes provide a way for students to get some exercise, whether it be playing soccer or lifting weights. In addition to keeping students fit, P.E. also helps students in the classroom. According to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention physical education classes increase test scores and students" focus. As is currently the norm sports would still grant P.E. credit, meaning that two seasons of a sport would replace one year of P.E. This provides a choice to the students to either explore new activities or to pursue one or several sports they are passionate about while still ensuring that everyone is getting their daily exercise. It is a common complaint, however, that much of P.E. class is downtime with no physical activity happening at all, or that some units such as yoga are not enjoyable and do not keep students fit. These complaints have some merit, but they are not targeted towards the idea of P.E. classes but rather the current implementation of these classes. By increasing student participation and teaching units that are more relevant to students" interests, P.E. can be made both more enjoyable and more effective as a means for exercise. This may be enacted by offering more choices to students in daily activities, ensuring that students are truly interested in the current sport or unit and will be more likely to give their full effort. Class time can also be made more efficient through better planning of the day"s activities allowing, students to make full use of their class time to play sports or exercise. A solution requiring students to take four years of a class that provides no weight on their college applications is not without controversy, however. A school like MVHS is filled with students who would much rather pack their schedules full of AP classes than take P.E classes. However P.E. is more than just a class taken for credits. If taught and led correctly, P.E. provides a path towards a healthy lifestyle, something that is more important than any single AP class. According to the Mayo Clinic, physical activity also provides an excellent source for stress relief, something that students at MVHS could definitely use. Although many would disagree with the idea of having to take P.E. for the entire length of high school, P.E. would provide a healthier lifestyle while at school and for the rest of their lives.

Definitely, it is important to do exercise and there is no excuse for people who are just not bothered. PE is extremely important for your health and shape because if from a young age you become obese it is hard to regain fitness if you have never learned it at school and PE helps teachers monitor how you are doing and if you need help at things like running. Technological advancements have indeed made our lives easier, but at the same time have made us too dependent. Imagine the people in the movie Wall-E, those people have been living on convenience their whole lives. Normal actions like walking are no longer done, so they had trouble even standing up straight. Relative to the real world, actions that would have required a lot of energy consumption in the past could now sometimes be performed with only the press of a button or a flick of hand. When we spend energy that means our body was able to perform exercise. Just the right amount of exercise equates to good health. Good health equates to better immunity to sicknesses therefore better survival. And since nowadays we don't spend exercise, we are less healthy compared to the people in the past. As a solution to this, PE should be compulsory so that the required exercise our body needs is performed. On another note, when we exercise our glands produce secretions that make us relatively cheerful. So to have a healthier and happier lifestyle PE should be compulsory!

I accept your challenge in this debate. I will break my argument down into 3 pillars of why physical education should not be mandatory. 1.) Physical education takes from precious time during school hours that would best be used for educational purposes. There is no need to spend time on physical education where time would better be spent studying or learning new concepts. People wonder why education in this country is messed up than they go about making kids do pushups during school hours. 2.) There are many other places children can get physical exercise such as after-school extracurricular and sporting events. If a child wants to be involved in physical exercise, there are plenty of places to do so. Why encourage a disdain of exercise by making the fat kid do pull-ups. 3.) This is just another attempt to dictate rules upon people and take whatever power opportunities are present. Enforcing this on children against their will is pointless as they probably won't try hard and you will just be wasting their time, and the time of employed physical education staff. Thank you

Required PE classes help students develop good exercise habits, resulting in healthier lifestyles. According to the Bright Hub Education website, healthy exercise helps prevent obesity and other serious illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis. Because most of the normal school day requires students to participate in relatively sedentary activities, mandatory PE classes force students to do something active. The classes help students burn calories, exercise muscles, reduce stress levels and improve their psychological and physical health.
trump is worse than hillary

Man, that was a lot to read. You are completely wrong on many of your statements, but I'll get to that later. First, I need you to give your rebutles on just a few of trumps cons. Also, I'd like to add that the title of this debate is trump is worse than Hillary. I, for now, will refrain from the positive aspects of Hillary, and work to defend her, while attacking Trump. Doesn't believe in climate change and wants to gut the EPA. He's education policy dangerously relies on school choice which is a terrible form of education in many cases. Trump is a serial lier, and doesn't have a clear grasp on reality Trump has a terrible, lying, unqualified cabinet who have racist veiws(Steve bannon). Supports stop and frisk and police brutality, the former which has been proven to be ineffective and used to promote racial bias. Is anti NAFTA and NATO Trump has no way to fund his tax plan or any of his promises. Has no way to deal with ISIS. Wants to start a trade war with Mexico and China. His deportation policy rips families apart. The fact that he has no replacement for Obamacare, which has been a huge success and is widely beneficial to many people, and would repeal it without considering that. Has dangerous Russia ties which could be treasonous. Is against gun free school zones. he does support torture and attacking civilians Doesn't understand the economy. Wants to spend on useless stuff, navy, more tanks, ECT. MOST IMPORTANTLY, KEEP IN MIND THE LACK OF FUNDING FOR HIS PROJECTS. Now for the rebutles. The wall is a perfect example of how you guys love to twist reality. Mexico will never pay for the, mind you, nearly 50B dollar wall. (17b is below the lowest estimate from Congress). Now still, none of the things you listed would pay for the wall. It's just fluff. The wall will cost more than 6b a year, after production. It's also completely ineffective, because of tunnels, drones, ladders, boats, and freaking gang sabatauge. Hillary supports veterans, and so do I. you are making beautiful jumps in logic. first of all, america was never in danger from clintons emails, the fbi checked her out, shes clean. of course she could handle national security, she did it for 30 years.. the state department just released a form saying that there was only a real threat from citizens here for more than 10 years. and also, the increse is just 55,000 more people. not the 620000 trump says it is. http://www.politifact.com... . let me quote back to you your statement. you say that because hillary wants to take in immagrents that have little to no threat, she values syrians more than americans? no. she just cares about them. plus, we need those refugees. the agriculture comunity asked for 25000 workers and no one came. no one. your fourth statement is just rediculous. charity foundations accept money from everywhere for the greater good, and she supports lgbtq rights. trump and the sexual harrasment scandel. nuff said. clinton apoligized for the deplorable comment, she was just justifyibly outraged about the racism trump stirred up at his rallys. go ahead. rebuttle that.
Foolishness in the bible that no god would ever put into effect thus proving that god is false

You know, you really are cute, I mean after all, you are saying that EVEN THOUGH I have been reading the Bible and practicing Christianity my WHOLE LIFE I do not know anything??? really?? That does not really improve your argument whatsoever, after all, I think that I would know a thing or two are 13 years or so, of studying the Bible. And another thing: if you really, absolutely, positively think that you are right, then you, sir, are WRONG . Oh and your argument/last text box makes NO sense whatsoever. And I can tell you are using last resorts/running out of ideas, because you call me a child, a boy, a rugrat, you say i have a ""he-man education" (I go to an amazing school, just to let you know) and resort to name-calling, now that's what I call "Pa-th-et-ic" ( BTW you might want to read the comments).
Foolishness in the bible that no god would ever put into effect thus proving that god is false

Actually, you, sir are the one that is WRONG, as i am no legit male. oh and BTW you misinterpreted "Ezekiel 20:25-26 "Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live; 26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD." This passage as: "So god decieves us all by giving us statutes that were not good and judgements whereby they should not live. Wow. So how is anyone supposed to know how to follow you oh dear grey bearded one god who is not one? So so so foolish. Indeed clearly man made. Its either that or this is a misprint or god is magnificently stupid and foolish." when, in reality, the HUMANS put the statues up, not God. (you spelled "deceives" wrong FYI) and I can see your point of view, BUT you point of view is completely ideotic. I mean, try to explain the big bang theory. NO seriously in your next go, try to explain it, I want to see how exactly you think the world and humans came into existent. oh, and hun, you are going to find this a challenge. Just saying.

WRONG! Here in this country if you were to be raped, beaten and tortured by someone and if it were to ever get to the court system, you would be considered to be a child, a boy. Sheesh, even The Empire Strikes Back gets it right. And no you cannot justify your inadequate positioning, boy for something in which you clearly know nothing about namely your bible, god and religion in which YOUR god would ---never--- use text as a form of communication, the worst form of communication possible with translations upon translations upon copies upon copies with dead languages that have died off so there's no possible way to trace it back to the original so ---EVERYBODY--- can get it wrong, including you, no exceptions, none. Oh and btw, ---EVERYBODY--- no exceptions, none, are born atheists. So who brainwashed, indoctrinated, programmed you into believing in YOUR god AND why do you believe? Now who really cares if you've been reading YOUR bible since you can remember? So? Who really cares? You're right you do NOT know anything about it. Otherwise you'd instantly put it down with all the hate in it. Now I'm in no way telling you to. But read your bible for what it is in which you clearly without a doubt have not. Romans 1:20 is utterly meaningless to those that are intelligent and educated. I mean so what? Here's one for you... "I have seen the light in burning flames. I have seen the darkness in invigorating shame. I cannot see myself through the all the raging circus blame." Now take one lucky guess at who stated that? Then you ask a truly stupid uninspired question, even from someone of your age... just asking but again why would somebody 2,000 years back write a FICTIONAL STORY about some guy who was born in a manger, killed on a cross and then rose again the next day?????" Well somebody wrote about Gaia Mother Earth, Buddhism, Hinduism, The Inca, Linear A, rongorongo/ Rapa Nui, The Voynich manuscript, Rohonc codex, Tartaria tablet inscriptions etc etc etc. The last 5 no one has been able to translate. YOUR bible is peanuts. "not to be rude but i dont think the population back then was very creative/imaginative." Oh but you are. I mean jeez, ever hear of The Egyptians who built the pyramids? Angor Wat is the largest religious monument ever constructed. What about the Maya who constructed their great cities like Chichen Itza and Tika and had the most advanced calendar until the computer? All in which could have NOT TAKEN PLACE without a super complex writing system. YOUR jesus, bible and religion that never built anything and there's no proof of ever existing, are worthless.
Foolishness in the bible that no god would ever put into effect thus proving that god is false

First of all, I am no man . second of all 13 is a teenager not child third of all I have been reading the bible since i can remember so if you think i know nothing about this topic you are completely wrong, and as it says in Romans 1;20 "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse." just asking but again why would somebody 2,000 years back write a FICTIONAL STORY about some guy who was born in a manger, killed on a cross and then rose again the next day????? not to be rude but i dont think the population back then was very creative/imaginative.
Foolishness in the bible that no god would ever put into effect thus proving that god is false

First off you are but 13, a child, a boy, therefore you know nothing about god, the bible, nor your so-called religion. And since you think you do, then you prove that your god exists RIGHT now. In fact no one has been able to prove god. NOT one person. NOT ever. So what makes you think you are so special? And since you think you are so smart, educated and intelligent, then you go right ahead and you verify everything stated here, especially the verses in which even the dumbest of preschool kids would never state, thus a self righteous god would not state, not ever. You will be blocked. This debate will be posted again sometime in the near future.

first of all this is not true, even though there are a lot of Christianity types around the world. This is a stupid debate anyways, as there is a God, I should know, my friend"s dad is a preacher I am a Christian, Christianity is the most practiced religion in the world, 33% of the world"s population is Christian, there is a holiday (Christmas) celebrating Jesus"s birth, an entire book about God and the Christian practice... do you still believe yourself?
The Bishop of rome (pope) was not the sole authority or "final say" of the church.

Thank you for taking the debate! This should be a great experience for me. How can i be strong in my faith unless i'm tested? I assure you i will not only use scriptural evidance in this debate, i also believe in holy tradition. First, lets examine the role peter was given by our Lord and how it related to the other disciples. The power given to Peter was not that of authority, but of honor and responsibility. Truly Peter was the first among the disciples, the orthodox church in no way denies that. What authority did this power give peter? In no scripture or other ancient writings will you ever hear of Peter practicing authority over the other disciples. In Matthew 16:18 the rock in both aramaic and greek (petros/petra)does not refer to peter per se, but to "the faith of his confession"- (st. john chr). The true rock is Christ himself (1 cor. 10:4) and the church is built on the faithful confesssion of Christ. When christ said "thou art peter, he called him PETROS, which means "small stone." But when he sais "upon this rock i will build my church" the greek for rock is not PETROS but PETRAS which means "bedrock." this bedrock which the church was built upon was always understood by the greek fathers and many WESTERN fathers to mean either Christ himself or the profession of faith in Christ's divinity. Second, although peter was given the prominent role as the first of the apostles, he was always equal to the other apostles. Christ told the apostles that they would sit on twelve thrones. (Matt. 19:28) A special throne was not set up for Peter. The "keys" were given to all the apostles. (Matt. 18:18) The other apostles were also the foundation upon which the church was built. (Eph. 2:20) If you believe as the catholics do, it is interesting to see that when the disciples disputed among themselves as to who would be the greatest, (Luke 22:24-27)they seemed unaware that Christ had already picked peter. I will attempt to make the rounds shorter because i understand that time is of the essence for you! St. Augustine, one of the "doctors" of the ROMAN church, considered peter and paul equal. He puts these words in Pauls mouth "i am in nothing inferior to Peter, for we are ordained by the same God for the same ministry. St. Augustine also referred to Peter's primacy, but he does not understand this to mean power over the church. He quoted, "He had not the primacy over the disciples, but among the disciples. His primacy among the disciples was the same as that of Stephen among the deacons" I have more quotes and evidance to share but to ensure that this debate drags on for four rounds, i will discuss them in the next round. I'm also aware of the limited time that my opponent has and will give him a chance to express all of his views in his limited time. I could of went on! It was extremly hard to stop... Once again thanks for taking the debate and i am thankful that you are about to serve our country. I admire your integrity!
The Bishop of rome (pope) was not the sole authority or "final say" of the church.

the Bishop of Rome who is now days called the Pope was not the supreme vicar of Christ. He indeed was among equals to the other biships such as the bishop of constantinople, alexandria and antioch. I will use scripture and early church father teachings to support my opinion. I am in no way criticizing other faiths, this is just an interesting topic to me. I am approaching this debate from an eastern orthodox view. This is my first formal debates other then verbal debates with friends. This should be a good experience for win or lose.... I would like to debate a catholic in particular since this debate is very popular between roman catholic and eastern orthodox christians, but if one is knowledgeable of the catholic faith, they may accept the challenge

* You're very easy to impress , i don't think it's enough evidence , when maths can be a product of a super smart mind , it's not an supernatural miracle. The low chance of coincidences doesn't mean IT CAN'T HAPPEN the chance remains even if it's 0.01% it's a chance and it obviously happened. * Your narratives of Jesus miracles is not a "fact" and it remains a legend until Jesus comes back to life and re-preform all these miracles again in front of me. * I still didn't get a Yes - No answer for the question i asked earlier , Muhammad is mentioned in the Quran , so is Christianity and Jesus. If you don't believe in it are you implying that Quran was just a fake invented book ? ---> Why don't you accept that the Bible is as fake as Quran is. Isn't it logical that same way a faked "Prophet" as you imply was able to brainwash half of the religious population of the universe to be Muslims (increasing by 3% rate every year) , the other half is as equally brain washed by the idea of religions. * Ever wondered why the relation between us and god has to be mysterious ? why isn't it a direct relation , just like the messengers had a direct relation with him , why couldn't it be direct from god to people. He could give us orders directly and still leave us the choice to obey or disobey , chances are it's because he doesn't exist. * I still don't see a reason why he doesn't send a 4th messenger , obviously the first 3 failed terribly. Now that im alive myself and i need a proof of his existence , he won't show me a miracle but he requires me to just believe that some miracles happened bilion years ago and just base a belief on that. And at the end , i want to leave a reminder for everyone that the human being always tended to worship something , our ancestors in the "Jahilya" time used to worship Stones , Animals, The stars. It's a Psychological factor so let's not let our brain trick us into worshiping the unknown and the mysterious. The prophets criticized their ancestors for worshiping brainless , unreliable objects. ironically now our society is worshiping a mirage that is unseen.

Con says that I ignore all the parts of nature that have no mathematical formula whatsoever, but showing that some things don't following a mathematical pattern doesn't show the ones which do to be pure coincidence. If you saw the words "I love you" written in the sand by the sea shore, you won't say, "well, look at all the sea shores on earth where no meaningful words appear whatsoever, so this one must be an accident caused by the waves." It still cries out for an answer, and the Fibonacci sequence is just one of the many others found in nature that cry out for an explanation of how they came to be. If I throw a rock at a wall and it gets parts of it broken off, lets say a scientists creates a mathematical formula to describe the new shape of this rock. It's shape is a pure accident in the sense that I didn't plan out how it would break. Now, you would not expect that formula to accurately describe all other rocks on the planet, would you? It wouldn't even describe a single other rock, because chances are, no other rock is shaped exactly like this one. Yet, e=mc squared describes all the matter everywhere in the universe. Why? Why does all matter follow the same equation if it only came about by accident? The only rational answer is that someone made it this way, deliberately. Con has not replied to the reason I gave for accepting each of these four facts about Jesus as being historical. They are good enough to convince most historians in the world, why does he object to them?
