Riddle Debate

You are wrong. He was shot by air;the car is a convertible. The answer to your debate is either spirit or the holy spirit (both related enough to be the same answer) Now for riddle number 2: A man was shot and killed in a room. This room was on a high floor of an apartment. The only clues in the room are windows, a puddle of water by the windows, a door (no the murderer did not walk in and shoot the man) and an air vent that is still running (the murderer did not climb through the vent and shoot the man). How did he die?
Riddle Debate

In this debate, it really doesn't matter who's Pro or Con. This debate will pretty much go like this Round 1A: Pro posts a riddle Round 1B: Con attempts to answer Pro's riddle, and then posts another riddle Round 2A: Pro tells Con if they are right or wrong, then does all of the above ...And so on until round 4b appears to be unanswerable because Pro cannot respond, then Pro posts the answer to his/her 4a riddle and attempts to answer Con's riddle in the comment section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do have some rules before I start though: 1. These riddles must be from heart, NOT from the internet. 2. The debate must follow the format I just laid out. 3. No giving the other person hints for the answers. 4. The opponent must give all clues to the riddle. 5. If you have any problems with the rules, say them in the next round/your turn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The voters can vote in one of two ways (or both) 1.Whoever had the hardest riddles for you (the voter) to answer 2.Whoever answered the least amount of riddles correctly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And now for riddle number 1: A man is found dead inside a car. The police know he has been shot by a gun, but the doors and windows are in perfect shape. The man was the only person in the car, and the police also know that he was shot from outside of the car. This is all the information I can give to you about this riddle. How did he die?

Pitbulls - Love Em

Those pitbulls in that article were obviously either trained to attack people or abused/neglected to the point of hating all humans, or there is the chance that they were psychologically unbalanced due to careless breeding. None of that was the original fault of the pitbulls. Pitbulls were supposed to work with humans from the very beginning, taking down bulls alongside butchers. And they do work with humans, or at this point love humans, because we don't really use them to take down rampaging animals anymore. They're known somewhat as the nanny dog, because they're very good at taking care of children and making sure they don't get hurt - when bred and treated right, of course. Most of these attacks by pitbulls are originally brought on by their owners or other people. All animals can be potentially dangerous no matter what, but pit bulls aren't obscenely violent compared to others.
Pitbulls - Love Em

I am for loving pitbulls. I just don't understand the fuss. I've been brought up with giant Rottewielers that are the most adorable, loving creatures - at least that's what I thought until I met the Pitbulls. Pitbulls are the kindest mushes of dogs I've ever met. They were even bred to work with humans. Why is there suddenly a huge prejudice about them? If you want to debate this, you will be "against" loving them. Just so you know what you're getting into.
Right to be forgotten

I see your point well. But I think you got the wrong point. :) As you say, it may be impossible to disappear information. But there are Bad Hidden Way : First, I have mentioned that we have a right-to-know only in a exposed information not to criminate by searching others' personal business. In other words, we have a right to know about some knowledge, info etc which are or were being released. Second, you referenced unless you willingly make a decision to volunteer your information publicly I have the right to nothing. Yes, I don't have a right to anything, if you don't want your information to be publicly. But think about it, I don't have to search your personal business, and must not to do this kind of things. It is just a stalking. However we have a freedom to access any information we need and want . It's not about private businesses but about politics, society. Turner said " Too many American media are owned by a small number of people in media, making it possible to manipulate such media" in a speech at the Common Wells Club in San Francisco in 2003. Because of this, It is possible to be forgotten in internet. Those in power of media can"t prevent the other media from uploading news. But they can delete them using their power. You said it is impossible to delete information from the internet. But it's possible. I'll give you an example. There's a job called cyber undertaker. Cyber undertaker's job is to delete clients' unwanted posting, picture, and video. You may think it only pertains to the dead but it is not. They also erase contents that clients wanted not to be exposed. It do mean that we can delete the information. And many enterprises do that. They grasp what their clients want and conclude a contract by calculating the details, goals, and costs of the work to be performed. And by using searcher, they search clients' information and delete it personally or ask the site to do so. More important thing is that famous entertainers and companies do use this service to manage their reputation. And we are talking about right to be forgotten, not how to be forgotten.
Right to be forgotten

I would like to partially disagree with the premise of the debate. If we do not control our information on the internet then who does? I would argue that not even the government can enforce the right to be forgotten. 1. You state that people have a right to know. That somehow your curiosity into my personal business obligates me to reveal any information to you that you request. It does not. In the United States we have the right not to incriminate ourselves; its called the 5th Ammendment. If we had the technology to break into someone's mind to learn about them should we do it? No, it would be a violation of that person's rights. Unless I willingly make decision to volunteer my information publicly you have the right to nothing. If there is freedom of speech there is also the freedom to not say anything at all. You have no right to force information from me. 2. You say that corrupt governments can alter and delete information to cover up wrong doing. I say this is impossible. No one can delete information from the internet once it hits the public unless you spend all of eternity keeping it from being re-uploaded. Unless you prevent content from being uploaded in the first place you cannot protect information on the internet and this would be censorship not the right to be forgotten. My argument is that it is impossible to be forgotten unless you have the resources to continue deleting information and preventing the reupload of such information. If anyone can actually pull of such a near impossible feat then they have every right to do so because the internet is free from any restrictions. It's a place where people are free to do anything they want. If they knowledge, ability, and resources to have themselves forgotten then they have every right to do so.
Right to be forgotten

As mobile phones and the Internet become increasingly popular, crimes are also increasing."Defamation, abuse, intimidation and sexual harassment... In proportion to the total number of crimes, cybercrime now accounts for more than 50% of all crimes in the UK.(Source:National Crime Agency).The sentence "right to be forgotten" tells that we do not already have control over our individual information. And for these reason, I am against deleting Internet records. Frist, people have a right-to-know. It is of or pertaining to laws or policies that make certain government or company records available to any individual who can demonstrate a right or need to know their contents. In times past private information was only being remembered by friends, family and neighbors' memories, very limited members. While we can get any data far more easily by just a few click keeping all sorts of information standardized dates nowadays. It means era is changing. So we have rights to get data we need and to know in proportion to this generation. Also to consider modern society is a democratic information society, right-to-know has to be guaranteed to realize freedom of speech. Second, some can make bad use. The press posts update corruption of government and parliamentary on the internet. However, if the government or parliament can delete these information, we can not access them later. Accordingly, the government or parliament can use it to cover up their wrongdoing. Of course, other offline materials may remain. However, the impact of online is bigger than offline. So, deleting online data is also problematic. For these reasons, I'm against I object to the right to be forgotten.
Dis rap battle (Opponent goes first.)

(Imagine if the best part of every rap you've ever done, was to merged into one super rap. Mine would look something like this.) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Fred, I'm sorry but you've been mislead. I'm a godlike divinity, And you're yet to lose your virginity. You talk about "mic drop" When all you do is drop your vowels, By the stench of your rap, You've dropped your bowels. How can you drop the mic, when you're using a computer? We can tell it was a flop, and you're losing this verbal shooter. Your playboy dad always drops your thong, You enjoy it, though you know it's wrong. It's time to show you why I'm here, This rhyme will blow you, till you're queer. It sounds like you're taking this way too serious, Something tells me, that makes you delirious, The essence of my instrumental bars are mysterious, Your nonsense shows your mental reservoirs are imperious. Like a plant absorbs light, your mum absorbs bacon, Her belly is a blight and her arse is forsaken. Your mother is overweight and known as the "giant" She will salivate for scraps cus her hunger is defiant I will break you, like your mum breaks her diet, She's got a fake d**k, I bets that's made you quiet. When you're not choking on your mum what do you do? I bet you're poking up your bum, you dirty Jew. Your mother's stench is unbelievable, It makes my stomach clench, it's inconceivable. She has an obscene pig face, She has got no hygiene, it's a disgrace. I can tell that you're mentally slow, You mean well but, indecently blow I feel like I should put it blunt, I'm surreal and you're a c**t I apologize, I didn't mean to swear, But I prioritize, this is verbal warfare, I will traumatize, I'm your rapping nightmare Do you feel butterflies? I aim to impair. Your raps are idiotic, I find it kinda cute, My raps are chaotic, I've assigned you a mute All of this should constitute, My adept ability to persecute, You've wept, now I will execute, This I know, to be absolute, And your mums a prostitute. I hope the depth of my insults wasn't too complex, Did the breadth of the results create a mental vortex? I'm a verbal architect, My lyrical design is of pure intellect, My rhymes are, satirical and boarder line holy dialect. (Keyboard drop.)

Batman is better than IronMan

While Batman is every fake comic fans wet dream he is not better than Iron Man. With or without costume Iron Man/Tony Stark is superior to Batman in every way. Let me just destroy your weak and terrible points real quick. 1. I will admit that Batman is the better athlete and better at hand to hand combat. With that being said Batman leaves his jaw out in the open and has minimal protection. While Iron Man AKA Tony Stark AKA Alcoholics Anonymous has an Iron Suit that has basically every weapon the bat mobile has plus can fly. One missile to the face and Batman would no longer have that terrible voice he would be drinking through a straw with Alfreds assistance. 2. Saying Batman uses strategies to make sure all goes well is like saying Batman doesn't fantasize about teens in a speedo and cape. Both are false. As we seen in Avengers 2 Mr. Starks main concern is saving the lives of the people around him. While fighting the Hulk he was constantly scanning buildings and saving citizens.
Batman is better than IronMan

The Reason I am saying that Batman is better is because if you look at the skill set of each of the heroes than you can see that Batman a.k.a Bruce Wayne has the dominant skill set. Yes Tony Stark is very smart and creates everything he uses to fight crime, but so does Batman and he does not completely rely on his tech but also his skills and strategic mind. While Tony Stark completely relies on his tech and has no strategy when he fights, he just goes in destroys stuff and hopes for the best, while on the other hand Batman uses strategy to make sure that all goes well. In my opinion Batman has more drive to fight crime and evil because of his past while on the other hand Tony Stark only has a couple of daddy issues and Bruce Wayne saw his parents die in front of his eyes so he has that passion. Bruce Wayne does not want to see other kids go through that pain that he had and that makes it to where he would be a more productive and careful Superhero because of it.
Communism is a logical solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

My opponent argues that a communist government would unite Palestinians and Israelis because it would "combine their ethnicities". Forcing two groups of people who are deeply hostile to one another to live together is very unlikely to produce good results. It wouldn't "combine their ethnicities" it would just make tensions worse. My opponent argues that since communism distributes land equally, there would be no more territorial disputes. Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians want equal land redistribution. The vast majority of Palestinians want an independent state--a fully realized and truly independent state--in the West Bank and Gaza with East Jerusalem as its capital (1). This means firstly that forcing the two countries together would be against the wishes of there people, and secondly that equal land distribution would not please either group. My opponent also argues that "Any class systems would vanish because everyone would become equal. This would also eliminate the large gap between wealthy and poor that plagues the Palestinian populace and allows the Israelis to keep power." Under ideal communism perhaps, but in practice in every "communist" country classes still existed, it would be very, very unlikely. My opponent argues that "unlike a parallel state solution this would solve the problem of unity by having the one communist party be made up of Palestinians and Israelis alike." Once again, the entire goal of the Palestinian people is to have INDEPENDENCE. What evidence is there that shows that the only alternative to a "strong central government" is a weak umbrella one? Once more, forcing them into becoming ONE people would be one of the worst things for both sides because the Palestinians want independence more than anything else. You argue that a single state solution would not unify the two groups without the constant use of force, when under your proposal of communism Israel and Palestine would be magically united without the use of force? What does China have to do with this debate? This is a debate about ISRAEL and PALESTINE, not CHINA. That entire paragraph is totally off topic, and on top of that inaccurate. Go look up the name Deng Xiaoping and then come back and tell me how "communist" China is. Communism would not solve any of the key issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is also highly unrealistic and illogical since it would not be supported by either of the people seeing as Israel is a very capitalist country and Palestine's entire goal is independence. Communism is not a logical answer to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it would not effectively solve any of the key issues, is not practically realistic, and would never be supported by the people.

Communism is a logical solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

I would first like to correctly define communism... Communism: A political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs, a society where the proletariat and bourgeois become absorbed into one party. As for the other definition I accept then and would like to note that the BoP is shared, all I must do to win is prove it is a logical solution , while my opponent will try and prove how it is not in any way logical. The installment of a communist government would combine the ethnicities of Israelis and Palestinians under one government, uniting the two people. This would also end any territorial disputes because through the government there would be equal distribution of land and property rights. Any class systems would vanish because everyone would become equal. This would also eliminate the large gap between wealthy and poor that plagues the Palestinian populace and allows the Israelis to keep power. And unlike a parallel state solution this would solve the problem of unity by having the one communist party be made up of Palestinians and Israelis alike. For instance instead of a weak umbrella government that will get nothing done there will be one strong central government that will quickly reach a solution that is best for the state and people. Communism is also superior to a two state solution, because instead of two governments that would constantly be invading each other it would bring them together. It is also superior then a single state solution, because, like Zionist Vladimir Jabotinsky warned “Native resistance to dispossession is irrepressible and Zionism would only survive with constant force to quell it.” This statement reinforces the fact that a single state solution could not unify without the use of a constant force to suppress the people, this plan would of course be enforced by China. Each point that has been made here exemplifies why this solution is the only one that could be a long lasting affective solution. And for those of you out there look down on communism have no to right to do so because of what China has done. Consequently it has worked very well for China, as a result of communism it has become the largest exporter of fabricated goods in the world today. It also has one of the largest infrastructures in the world to attribute to its success, but this is a result of a communist government. China’s environment is not a result of communism, which never states that the destruction of and ecology is necessary. China’s environment is a result of poor leadership and indifference not communism. It is for these reason that communism is a highly logical solution to the conflict.
Communism is a logical solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

My opponent will be arguing communism is a logical solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I will be arguing that it is not. Since my opponent did not provide definitions, I will: Communism: 1. ) A theory advocating elimination of private property 2. ) A system in which goods are owned in common and are available to all as needed. (. http://www.merriam-webster.com...) Logical: 1. ) Of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument: "a logical impossibility". 2. ) Characterized by clear, sound reasoning. Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The ongoing dispute between the Jewish and Arab populations in the former Ottoman Empire region of Palestine, consisting of the state of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip (. http://www.chegg.com...) I look forward to my opponent's opening argument.
Poverty can and should be eradicated
