Microsoft Paint should be discontinued after 32 years of existence.

My opponent gave some pertinent information about why DeviantArt is better than MS Paint, he also argued that DeviantArt "contains not only better variety of tools, but it's also a website where you can talk with friends and learn more about both them, and how to draw even better". However, DeviantArt is an ONLINE program, and not an educational software. Microsoft Paint, as an educational software, allows the user to draw, color and edit pictures. This tool, when used in the classroom, enhances teaching and learning alike. The software is very easy to use hence children can use Microsoft Windows Paint with minimal assistance. Teaching while using this software can help to develop children's ability to using realistic programming. While making lessons fun and interesting, it is a good means of enhancing the mulitple intelligences, for instance, those who have good spatial abilities may be interested in becoming graphic artists or designers. [1] Earlier, Megan Saunders, General Manager of 3D for Everyone Initiative, Windows Experiences, said in a blog post: "MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free." [2] She also said: "In addition to the new 3D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing and 2D creation are in Paint 3D--the new app for creativity, available for free with the Windows 10 Creators Update. In the future, we will offer MS Paint in the Windows Store also for free and continue to provide new updates and experiences to Paint 3D so people have the best creative tools all in one place." [3] This comes after the outcry of fan support led the company to clarify its plans for Paint. [4] [5] [6] [7] In conclusion, MS Paint should not be removed as a default Windows program and for future plans, include it as well with new features, like the ones on Paint.NET, and Paint 3D. I gave my opponent facts about why it should not be killed off. Why would he deny it? [1] http://vashtiedutech.blogspot.com... [2] https://blogs.windows.com... [3] https://www.washingtonpost.com...

Microsoft Paint should be discontinued after 32 years of existence.

My opponent said that 32 years is enough for Microsoft Paint to wipe out from our screens, and he also argued that there are other ways to make a picture online, such as DeviantArt, however, he cannot name one key disadvantage of Microsoft Paint that becomes a factor for its discontinuation. There are three main advantages for Microsoft Paint, those three reasons why MS Paint should remain in our screens. [1] 1. You do not have to buy anything to use Microsoft Paint. The program has always been free and users have never had to pay for upgrades, enhancements or bug fixes. Since Paint is part of the Windows operating system, Paint updates are included whenever Microsoft releases a new version of Windows. Online tutorials and tips are available, as well as extensive documentation. 2. Paint does not have all the options and features found in many image editing programs. Photoshop and Paintshop, for example, have a variety of filters, brushes and robust editing tools in their toolboxes. Paint does not support transparency, filters or layers. It only allows users to resize, rotate and merge images. The program has a small set of brushes, pens and other drawing tools. However, sometimes these features are sufficient to perform basic image manipulation. Paint also has a convenient text tool that overlays text objects on top of images. The program supports many popular image formats, such as JPEGs and GIFs. 3. Sometimes complex software is not always better software. If you need to resize an image quickly or create an impromptu freehand drawing, Paint will allow you do that within minutes of opening the program. Paint's learning curve is small because its feature set is small. The software's simplicity enables budding artists to begin painting, editing and cropping images and photos after learning a few, basic concepts. Microsoft added new enhancements to the Windows 7 version of Paint. These enhancements, including a new ribbon similar to the one in Office products, simplify navigation and optimize the user experience. This results in a cleaner, more ergonomic interface. There are people who still use MS Paint, anyway, so I challenge my opponent to put counterclaims on why he agrees that MS Paint will no longer exist. [1] http://www.ehow.co.uk...
Microsoft Paint should be discontinued after 32 years of existence.

Earlier, Microsoft announced it will release by September the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, the first without a long-cherished program, the Microsoft Paint. For me, it is not right to remove a long-standing stalwart of the Windows experience because since 1985, it has been part of creativity using educational technology. It makes our childhood more open to real-world possibilities, passing from generations, and improving the lives of young artist. Discontinuing it will downgrade Microsoft's reputation in the age of computing. Back in my elementary days, Microsoft Paint has been used in my Computer class, doing art-related activities. I am embraced by the older version of Paint, because I can create anything with just a click of a mouse and some strokes. Without it, mistakes would have happened and I could possibly go back to the drawing board. Efficiency, as well as its features, are the advantages of having Microsoft Paint. MS Paint brought the world together to infinite worlds of creativity and I am one of the people who are opposing this latest move by Microsoft. Discontinuing a Microsoft gem and disappearing it from our screens forever will lose Microsoft hundreds of millions of dollars and the users of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will lose interest anymore, because how are they going to create a world of limitless possibilities without MS Paint? Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will be a failure if Microsoft insists on discontinuing Microsoft Paint, and the world will go back to nothing. Vincent Van Gogh said, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Those are the arguments against the discontinuation of Microsoft Paint and the latest move by Microsoft. I await for my opponent for his response on the matter.
Microsoft Paint should be discontinued after 32 years of existence.

Okay, I'm seeing some fallacies being commited by Con this round.Rebuttal: "He still can't deny the fact that Microsoft Paint is relevant because he prefers DeviantArt more, because of his complacency over the claims."Because DeviantArt is better? I mean, you haven't argued that DeviantArt muro doesn't have more variety, or attempted to directly refute my points, so that's kind of a silent concession."An educational software adheres to the principles as a theory and practice of educational approaches to learning, as well as assistance in the communication of knowledge."MS Paint: A basic painting tool. Doesn't have tutorials.DeviantArt: More variety than MS Paint. Has other users you can interact with and learn from.I believe DeviantArt is the more educational out of the two, since you can learn about the program inside of it."If merely used in a classroom, it is still educational software because it may be projected onto a large whiteboard at the front of the class and/or run simultaneously on a network of desktop computers, thus activating the classroom management."Same here. MS Paint isn't the only thing you can load onto your computer in the classroom. Pull up DeviantArt on the whiteboard. "If MS Paint disappears from our screens forever, then would they use DeviantArt Muro instead, even if the user doesn't have a DeviantArt account? No, because it would tend to hours of repeating the tasks because the features are different to the ones that MS Paint have." Getting an account is easy on anything. Register, select your username and password, and enter your email, and go to the email to activate your account. And what exactly is taking people hours to do? If you're talking about figuring out what the buttons do, there isn't a whole lot of buttons. There's ones everyone knows, like Fill Bucket, Brush (with numerous types to suit your needs), and Eraser. It's not that hard, but you can look up a tutorial on YouTube if you're lost."DeviantArt may be advanced, but MS Paint is overall better than that because it is the mother of all paint and drawing programs, and disappearing it would mean that DeviantArt Muro may take until 2050 to perfect what MS Paint has done since 1985."It's good because it's the origin? I think Amiibo is better than Skylanders, even though Skylanders started putting statues onto scanners. Just because something started a trend does not make it good or the best. This is a logical Fallacy; Appeal to Origin. So what did MS Paint do that DeviantArt can't?"I urge to vote a ballot for Con because your imaginations are at stake, and the shapes of the world will be done in just an airbrush away."Nice Appeal to Emotion. But you said MS Paint isn't going anywhere, and it's not like I'm going to show this debate to Microsoft and/or demand they stop making MS Paint. All that matters is who made the better arguments in this debate. As far as I know, I showed that there's no reason why MS Paint should be continuing. DeviantArt could substitute very nicely. I think that's it for now.

There you have it. He still can't deny the fact that Microsoft Paint is relevant because he prefers DeviantArt more, because of his complacency over the claims. What if you don't have Internet connection, would you use DeviantArt? Absolutely no, because it requires an active Internet connection to work. Let's examine the only point that my opponent has made. "An educational software teaches people by itself. If merely used in a classroom, the software isn't educational, but rather the lesson given by the teacher." An educational software adheres to the principles as a theory and practice of educational approaches to learning, as well as assistance in the communication of knowledge. If merely used in a classroom, it is still educational software because it may be projected onto a large whiteboard at the front of the class and/or run simultaneously on a network of desktop computers, thus activating the classroom management. If MS Paint disappears from our screens forever, then would they use DeviantArt Muro instead, even if the user doesn't have a DeviantArt account? No, because it would tend to hours of repeating the tasks because the features are different to the ones that MS Paint have. Conclusion: DeviantArt may be advanced, but MS Paint is overall better than that because it is the mother of all paint and drawing programs, and disappearing it would mean that DeviantArt Muro may take until 2050 to perfect what MS Paint has done since 1985. I urge to vote a ballot for Con because your imaginations are at stake, and the shapes of the world will be done in just an airbrush away.

I deny that MS Paint is a good tool because I personally find DeviantArt better in a variety of ways. But let's examine the new points my opponent made.Rebuttal:"However, DeviantArt is an ONLINE program, and not an educational software. Microsoft Paint, as an educational software, allows the user to draw, color and edit pictures. This tool, when used in the classroom, enhances teaching and learning alike."An educational software teaches people by itself.

Teaching while using this software can help to develop children's ability to using realistic programming. While making lessons fun and interesting, it is a good means of enhancing the mulitple intelligences, for instance, those who have good spatial abilities may be interested in becoming graphic artists or designers."And this is exclusive to MS Paint? Why can't there be lessons about DeviantArt? As DeviantArt does have users you can talk with, you can learn things about DeviantArt inside of DeviantArt. All you need to do to draw in DeviantArt muro is an account, and an email for activation."Earlier, Megan Saunders, General Manager of 3D for Everyone Initiative, Windows Experiences, said in a blog post: "MS Paint is here to stay, it will just have a new home soon, in the Windows Store where it will be available for free." "The debate is "Should MS Paint be discontinued", not "will it". Whether it is or isn't still active is irrelevant."She also said: "In addition to the new 3D capabilities, many of the MS Paint features people know and love like photo editing and 2D creation are in Paint 3D--the new app for creativity, available for free with the Windows 10 Creators Update. In the future, we will offer MS Paint in the Windows Store also for free and continue to provide new updates and experiences to Paint 3D so people have the best creative tools all in one place." [3] This comes after the outcry of fan support led the company to clarify its plans for Paint."So 3D. Will it surpass DeviantArt muro and the DeviantArt community? I'm not certain, but I'm not conceding yet.Conclusion:DeviantArt surpasses the current MS Paint via having layers, a community to talk with, and being fairly simple to use.
It should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV

It is tragic that so many teens take their own lives because they are fat. Teachers, parents, doctors and social workers should tell overweight suicidal teens that there is another option: they can lose weight by not being so lazy and greedy and then they won"t get bullied any more. Of course, their parents are partly to blame. Sadly, too many fat adolescents get notes from their parents excusing them from physical education lessons and are allowed to eat junk food at school and at home. As a result of this lack of parenting skills, obesity has more than tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years so now more than a third of children are overweight or obese, and this has very serious health implications. [1] So, we can see that parents cannot be trusted to ensure their kids do not live a healthy lifestyle so it is important that impressionable teenagers have slim role models whose bodies they can aspire to and that overweight celebrities are duly humiliated on TV in order to underline the fact that it is socially unacceptable, as well as unhealthy, to be fat. Thank you. [1] . http://www.cdc.gov...
It should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV

The debate at hand is about should it be illegal to call someone fat on television. In my opinions and meaning others in the world it should be illegal to call someone fat on TV because it is hurtful to people with weight problems. one of my stating arguments is that is not illegal to call someone fat on TV but it is illegal to verbally assault someone so in a sense calling someone fat is illegal. Did you know that over 4400 teens each year kill the self because of bullying calling someone fat is bullying so we are saying that it is okay to bully people.
It should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV

Speaking to US TV host Barbara Walters, tubby actress Jennifer Lawrence (out of The Hunger Games) screeched: "I just think it should be illegal to call somebody fat on TV." [1] She would say that, of course, because this salad-dodging TV star knows she's hideously overweight herself. "In Hollywood, I'm obese," whinged Lawrence, "I'm considered a fat actress." [2] If it were illegal to call a fat person like Jennifer Lawrence "fat" on TV, people would just use other words to describe fatties, words like: "porker"; "lard-arse" and "heffalump" which really are insulting. Furthermore, to be fair to underweight people it would be also have to be illegal to call Victoria Beckham "skinny" on TV even though she is. Where would this end? Would it also be illegal to call Elton John "gay" on TV, even though he is? And would it be illegal to describe Real Madrid"s Cristiano Ronaldo "a dirty, cheating, one-trick pony" on TV, even though he is? No, this is ridiculous. TV commentators should be allowed to call a spade "a spade" and fat people "fat". Thank you. [1] http://www.bbc.co.uk... [2] http://www.cbsnews.com.../
Whether the federal government should adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons

P1- Reuniting misdemeanor offenders with their families shouldn't be a main priority for America. Studies show that as incarceration rates increase so do crimes rates. (http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu...) For every prisoner released into society, 15 more crimes were committed. Which would mean that trying to reunite "minor" offenders with their families is just a false hope. By doing this, we're actually just endangering the civilians of society. P2- Drugs are a major threat to society whether you're selling or doing them. In fact, the U.S. spent 180.9 billion on battling drugs in 2002. (http://www.justice.gov...) Drugs affect people's health, livelihood and friend/family relationships. Anyone involved with illegal drugs should be incarcerated so they can't influence those around them. In addition, they're not just harming themselves, they're exposing everyone around them to these illegal substances. Children mimic everything they see, imagine having children living in a drug filled house hold? This never ending cycle of drugs wont stop until the source (the criminal) is isolated from society. P3- Well if you want to release offenders you would need someone to monitor them which is where the probation and parole officers come in. They monitor everyone that are still serving sentences or were recently released from prison. If you want to decrease prison populations and have them serve less severe sentences then they would be given probation or parole. How can you prove that people generally care about the welfare of inmates? I'm sure the victims of these criminals don't care about their well being. Too much attention is being focused on helping criminals instead of the victims who are seeking justice. How many programs are we going to fund to benefit criminals? The issue here is whether or not to adopt a policy to decrease prison populations not to create programs to help make them behave better. C-The government should not adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons.
Whether the federal government should adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons

P1-This argument is a strawman, and the source sited does not support your argument. People who were in prison would not be left to roam the streets if they are released. Majority of the prison population are people who had families before they were incarcerated. Therefore, these people would return to there families. A lot of misdemeanor offenders are incarcerated and this contribute to overcrowding. Keeping these people in jail or prison do not fulfill the purpose of the criminal justice system. Education was only mentioned to say that a lot of money invested in the correction facilities are being wasted to incarcerate misdemeanor offenders; the government can take the money and invest in funding the education of Americans. http://www.truth-out.org.... P2- Being incarcerated for drugs does not protect the community because people who are incarcerated for drugs only harm themselves. They are not inflicting any harm on society. Returning to my first argument, majority of the prisoners that are incarcerated are not violent offenders. Most of them are there for drug related issues. If these people are release, they would not be a threat to society because the only person that they are only inflicting harm on themselves. Increasing taxes is another issue that should not be mentioned. Why should tax payers fund non-violent criminals, who can be treated outside of prisons , and live with their families while completing the program. Additionally, minor offenders will only become serious offenders if they continue to be dwell with violent offenders. http://www.drugwarfacts.org... P3- Some civilians are the families of inmates, and they do care about the welfare of inmates. People even care about the health risk and substantial risk of violence due to overcrowding. Your argument is a strawman fallacy. The second line in your third premise has nothing to do with the argument. Parole officers are there to monitor release offenders. Moreover, many people are given harsh sentences that does not require a long amount of years. The government is wasting money by keeping these people in prisons and jails, when they could instead create programs that would effectively assist offenders with behavioral change. http://gov.ca.gov... http://www.vera.org... C- Therefore, the federal government should adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons and jails in the United States.
Whether the federal government should adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons

P1- If the government adopts a policy to decrease the prison population then people who would've been in prison would be left to roam the streets. What does education have to do with overcrowding prisons? That's a red herring fallacy. If the government needs money to support the prison staff or education then they should just increase taxes. Anyone that's sent to prison is there for a reason, a growing prison population makes sense because America's population is increasing as well. http://www.census.gov.... So it's not shocking that the prison population is growing along with the total population of the U.S. P2- If the government has to hire more people to regulate prisons then they should do it because they're protecting the good civilians of society from harm. If there are more corrections officers regulating prisons there will be a lot less fights and it'll help create a safe environment. If the government needs money to create a larger prison staff, then I'm all for it, they can increase taxes. Furthermore, adopting a policy to decrease the prison population will allow minor offenders to become serious offenders because they'll think they can get away with it. In fact, the government isn't even prosecuting minor offenders for drug charges. http://www.bjs.gov.... So how is the corrections system locking up too many minor offenders? P3- Why should civilians be concerned about reuniting inmates or offenders with their family? Hiring parole and probation officers to help reward criminals with family time shouldn't be a governmental priority. That's giving them a slap on the wrist and allowing them to get away with their crimes. Additionally, funding programs to help inmates to be with their families is a waste of tax payers money. This money should be spent on making them serve their prison sentence to the furthest extent. Hiring more prison staff workers will create the same amount of jobs rather than hiring parole and probation officers to help criminals. C-The government should not adopt a nationwide policy to decrease overcrowding in prisons
