Gay marriage should be legalized.

People need to recognize the difference in between what they think is "moral" and what is legal. One of the main things that distinguishes America from many other countries is our set limitations on such things; for instance, the right to practice different religions and traditions. It does not matter if someone finds another citizens beliefs against their own. I think, even though I'm certainly NOT gay, that it is illogical to take the rights from our fellow people to marry, no mater what the relationship is. I feel it would be WRONG to ignore this fact and not fight with them. Doing such would equalize in my mind to be as wrong as standing by in times of crises; such as, the Holocaust or slavery.
MH370 is Pilot Suicide

Too continue the argument I will reveal on of my reasons that this points to Pilot Suicide as well I will refute My Opponets last point. Stress is not key cause of Suicide. Zaharie could've been anywhere from Depressed, to thinking his career was over (A main cause to Pilot Suicide) Fedex 705 - A attempted takeover in 1994, Auburn Calloway attempted to kill his fellow crew, and crash the plane because he thought his career was over after 3 years as a flight engineer. Egypt Air 990 - A First Officer member was engaging in Sexual Harassment in hotels. He was told that he would never fly to the US again. His career as he saw it was over. On his return trip back to Egypt he Crashed the airplane. Captain Zaharie had a Flight Simulator (FSX). He had lots of Hardware that came along with it. He made it as realistic as he could. I personally have the same simulator. Captain Zaharie, had deleted log file entries. Log files record the flight that took place on the sim, (time, date, plane ETC) The deleted log file that they had recovered had revealed that Zaharie had flown a 777-200 several days before the disappearance on the sim. They had tracked where he had flew with that flight on his sim. It showed a flight departing from Kuala Lumpur, and then flying up to the point where the plane turned off course in real life. Again, these log files were DELETED.

rape

Rape is a severe problem in the United States. Over the past ten years, rape has been the only crime that has continuously increased, and has been the fastest growing violent crime in the country. The chances of one being raped in the U.S. are nearly 7 times greater than Europe. (Macionis 40). It has also been found that forty-two percent of women have had sexual assault attempted against them in their lifetimes, and fifty-four percent of women have been battered by their male partners at least once. Furthermore, seventy-eight percent of women are harassed at the work place or at school at least once in their lifetime. On average, every three minutes a woman is beaten, and every five minutes a woman is raped. (Funk 7). To examine why these numbers are so astronomical, and to put an end to rape, we must look at why our society produces so many rapes. Rape is defined as forced contact or penetration of the anus, vagina, or mouth by any object or body part. Rape is usually categorized in three main ways: Stranger Rape, in which the victim does not know the rapist, Acquaintance Rape, when the victim does know the rapist, and lastly Marital Rape. Rape is a serious problem in our country, and must be stopped. But first, the severity of the problem must be realized in order to put an end to it. Why does our culture produce so many rapes? Our culture is considered by many to be a "Rape Culture," meaning that our society actually encourages rape. We grow up in an environment in which rape is not only the norm, but is also necessary. In our culture, many men feel that they are superior to women. It isn"t completely their fault either. In our culture man has always been at the center of the universe. Phrases and words such as: "mankind," "congressman," and "God the Father," give off the impression that man is supreme. The word "she" is always a secondary thought. If someone expressed God as "God the Mother," he would be ridiculed and questioned why he thought God is female. This feeling of supremacy is where it starts. Men are taught that the ideal men are "manly men" that don"t take no for an answer. They are taught to look up to men such as John Wayne and Jean-Claude Van-Damn. Another factor that contributes to the problem as well is language. Men refer to having sex as "scoring". This leads a man to believe that having sex is the ultimate goal to accomplish, and that he must do anything possible to "score" and prove he"s a man. We also use words such as: banging, f*cking, whore, c*nt, p***y, d*ck" all of which are harsh violent words that circulate regularly in our language. I really think this generation is filled with people who do not respect one another unless they are sexually active or any thing like that.
should 16 year olds be aloud to date fourteen year olds

It has been widely said that one of the best parts of going to school is that the students can meet new people and new friends and, yes, find romance. So, the question I pose to you is why do the two individuals involved in the romance have to be in the same class? You mentioned morals before. Well, newsflash: there are way more immoral things happening in the world than a freshman and a senior falling in love (ie. wars, murder, crime, etc.). You also mentioned lust. That shouldn't even be a factor because, starting around 9th grade, there is lust at every age, especially adult.
should 16 year olds be aloud to date fourteen year olds

21 year olds are allowed to date 19 year olds. 36 year olds are allowed to date 34 year olds. Freaking Hugh Hefner dates women 60 years younger than himself, women 30 years younger than his daughter. This ties into this debate because if people really want to be together, then they should, no matter the specific reason. And, as for the pedophile comment: the law states that the lowest a relationship can go in age is an 18yrs old and a 15 yr old.
Which is tough? mental work or physical work? I Believe Mental work is toughest

hi thank you for accepting, "action is required. you don't go and think all day without doing physical work. in that case you will never achieve anything unless you do some activity. activity leads to more thinking and then more creative actions are taken ." well i am not talking which comes first mental stress or physical stress. I am talking which one is tougher.in that case let me tell you If You haven't decided mentally what u want to do and how to do that you can not perform any physical work.so first you have to mentally prepare your self for any physical work Physical activity releases tension while the mental stress causes anxiety, depression and heart attacks. If you have a mentally stressful job the best thing for you is exercise Mental exhaustion is worse because rest doesn't help like it does for physical exhaustion. Sleeping doesn't mitigate mental issues like it does for physical issues. Once you wake up you may be physically refreshed but your mental issues have not changed. When physically exhausted all you have to do is stay hydrated, rest for awhile, then you are back up on your feet and ready to go. With mental exhaustion it can really wear you down, and even when you try to separate yourself from what is mentally exhausting you, it can always be nagging you in the back of your mind, only adding more stress. The absolute WORST thing about mental exhaustion is that a lot of times it can physically exhaust you at the same time. I've yet to come across a time when I am mentally exhausted because I was physically exhausted Toughness is the strength, or ability, to withstand adverse conditions. Mental work is toughest that's why no body can easily become IS officer.which require to study hard thus only mental stress is involve There are certain mental techniques that help you cultivate an indomitable will, patience, and the ability to stay positive and focused no matter how bad things look. There are also certain training techniques you can use to condition your body to withstand discomfort and tolerate environments that would normally cause injury. Rachel Cosgrove, co-owner of Results Fitness and a regular contributor to Men"s Fitness, stated in an article on mental toughness, "World-class endurance athletes respond to the stress of a race with a reduction in brain-wave activity that"s similar to meditation. The average person responds to race stress with an increase in brain-wave activity that borders on panic. Another way to look at mental toughness is willpower. When everyone else has decided they are too tired, you decide to keep going. so mental work is always require which you have to do it for yourself nobody can do it for you.but you can take help of anyone while performing physical work.
Rap Battle : Compliments

I've maintained consistency to my persistency, I hope it's brought clarity, I'll use this final try to better explain why, the nature of our disparity, It's about sincerity and the occasional temerity, of my opponent's hilarity, I may complain about the vulgarity, but that's a rarity, and a part of his dexterity. Let me just clarify so we can verify, I want to be sure to avoid any confusion, If it's been too subtle in any part of my rebuttal, then that is his delusion, I've asserted truth, even with a burden of proof, while all else is but an illusion. That being the case, in every last trace, then we've come to an obvious conclusion. My opponent is exceeding, even with special pleading, my ability to properly respond, The lyrical advance leaves me little chance, as I'm practically forced to abscond, An example again, that it's just a matter of when, since the moment it dawned, It's been preordained that his win is sustained, the moment this challenge was spawned. That's not about popularity but about the rarity, of his obvious ability, Clearly the severity of his constant prosperity, that leads others to futility, It can't be confused, even if it's ever refused, the most common probability. So I'd be remiss, if it wasn't a point about this, that it's exactly his lack of docility. I'll bring this soon to an end, and just say to my friend, things that he already knows, He has won this in out-pacing, even by self effacing, with his far greater prose, While I'm not conceding to any defeating, his skill is something that still clearly shows, Perhaps I'm delaying, but it is been worth saying, before I bring this debate to a close. So just to summarize, these things easy to memorize, It's clear that Mikal is great, As I've already made mention, if you paid attention, that is simply his state, You can enjoy any thing, that to DDO he does bring, there is little reason to wait, I'd like to express gratitude for a positive attitude, and give thanks to all who read the debate.

If there is one thing that I'm proud of, its that i'm a friend of max Hes charging people with forgiveness, and kindness is his tax Even though I rage and let lose he reminds me to relax This aint even a card game because if im a perfect ten hes a jack Hes always gone one up on me there is literally no comparison He laid the foundation for DDO, this is only personal garrison This guy can a ford to war with the stars, just call him harrison [1] It's a honor for me to be in a battle with him but thinking i can win is just embarrassin Now let me tell you a tale of DDO that is a blast from the past Even people like GWL didn't even get banned that fast He always looks for the best in a user, even if their personality and anger contrast He has a heart of gold that runs so deep with kindness that you can call it vast Max is such a kind that jew that he almost took a debate supporting the holocaust Wiped out hundreds and thousands of his own people? Not slowing him down someone needs to pop exhaust[2] His argument is great about how it benefited society because of all the lives that were lost He managed to find an angle to show that jews were able to thrive even if it was at a high cost It's out of the box thinking like that, that helps label someone a master mind But not just a master mind, a master mind that is both defined and kind when I see his personality it helps give me hope that you can still trust mankind Max was assigned and designed to never be blind, his potential is limitless he will never be confined I want to thank max for this battle because saying nice things about me had to be hard If this battle proves anything it's that max is a knight, and even someone like me he will chose to guard He did not even discard my charred character, he wanted to sing about it in rap style hes kind of like a bard But by singing my story, it helped us see how kind of a person he is and just like Adam sandler he walks the longest yard[3] [1] Star Wars ; hon solo [2] league of legends spell to slow someone [3] movie with adam sandler in it

Half the things max said about me just revolved around rap. that is my outlet that I use to talk when I really want to talk crap Comparing me to max is like like getting a gift instead of getting one thats wrapped Max is always himself in every scenario, he's so kind that people actually mentally fap He calls me a mafia lord but refuses to acknowledge his own skill How can I be a mafia lord when people always make him the first night kill He's considered a threat by everyone that plays the game He's so humble that he refuses to accept his own fame Sure I'm in the hall of fame but max beat me to it years ago, this is his show I got voted in for being a controversial dik, but he got voted in because his personality glows Sure i win alot of debates, but that fact hides my own personality I can be kind when I want to be, but max is kind because it is his destiny He called my show nice but I mean what is their to hide I take people on it and talk sht and hes so nice that he lets it slide I mean were pretty good friends and i'm the bonny to his clyde He's the one that calls the shots and he's always by my side I'm to lazy to delete that and just realized it sounded really gay But max is so straight and nice, that he will just smile and look the other way People see his personality and want to be like him, literally some actually pray People constantly provoke him, and hes never even been in a fray I did rhyme pie with pie, but it wasn't to give him a chance I hate to lose so much, that I actually considered doing a debate about the best strip dance Then I realized I would probably get banned but the desire was their because I'm really in my prime But fuk even If I did it, max would just say something like "Don't take off our pants and please don't do that next time" He gives people chance after chance and his heart is as big as his nose Needless to say when you can hook oryus, you have a personality that looks like a rose I'm sure even if I asked her , she would compliment his hose For someone that hates clothes so much, hes actually really quite composed The first time I saw him, I thought he was filthy frank and he was playing a prank [1] The I realized he was to rich to do a youtube channel and that he actually made bank He is better at holding liquor than an obese Irishman , you know those guys that look like a brute The one time I tried to hold down liquor, I actually called an alpaca a fruit[2] Needless to say when comparing max and I there is no comparison Instead of acting like a typical jew he would give you money, hes a good Samaritan He would give you the pants off his azz, and do it because he hates to wear them There is virtually no way to condemn this guy, he has a personality that's like a gem [1] https://www.youtube.com...

Dragons were real!!

second round you tell me that you mean mid evil dragons. and third round you tell me that dragons went extinct because men killed them, and that they can fly because they have hydrogen in them, and they can breath fire because they eat platinum. First off the dragons you claim to have existed do not because we have no scientific proof. And if they still existed in "mid evil times" we would at least have documents of them. And since we supposedly killed them, we would still have the bodies and bones around today as proof. The Law of Parsimony applies here, since the Law of Parsimony states that the probable, and theory with less assumptions wins, and there has been no sign that it is probable that they existed, as well, there are many assumptions in believing dragons exist. But believing they did not exist, has no assumption. So by the Law of Parsimony, the theory that dragons did not exist wins. In your video, they say that "hydrogen" gave the dragons the ability to fly, but how could you prove that a small amount of hydrogen could lift such a heavy creature, there is no proof in your argument or in the video. All in all, you gave no proof of their existence. You tried to prove that these creatures could fly and breath fire with proof that says because they have hydrogen in them and because they could eat platinum. But what proof do we have that they even had hydrogen in them? we have none, because if we did than we would know dragons existed in the first place. And what proof do we have that they could eat platinum? None. Your theory is based off of believing the improbable that says they had hydrogen in them, i am sorry but that is not proof, that is what you call one possibility of making a creature fly with absolutely no proof that the one possibility was plausible or even possible for that matter, and no proof that they could actually do these things. You also show no evidence that these dragons actually existed. You only tried to prove what they could do.
Dragons were real!!

These dragons went extinct. Men killed them and when they did there wasnt a lot left for two to mate to keep their exsistance alive. And dragons were able to breath fire. Although I do have evidence, its in french. I will tell you what basically its saying and then show the video. Its from discovery channel. Since dragons were so big and had wings that would not be able to lift them off the ground thus making them fly... their stomachs contained hydrogen since helium is very light weight they were able to fly. Now going on to the breathing fire and what not. Dragons were able to eat platinum. Now hydrogen and platinum combined makes a very big chemical reaction, thus breathing fire. http://dsc.discovery.com... look for Dragons: How Dragons fly on the right hand side
Dragons were real!!

Well, there are many from a giant snake, to a crocodile to an infantrymen with a musket, all considered dragons as well. But I am going to argue as if you are talking about giant, flying, fire breathing, scale armored dragons. Well, first off PRO has not stated any evidence that these dragons actually did exist, aside from her own beliefs. But i will argue anyhow. As described, dragons were supposedly massive creatures, with thick scaled armor and the ability to "breathe fire" If such a creature existed, what happened to them? If were talking about the mid evil times then surely the likes of swords and armor couldn't extinct such a creature, and if they became extinct at a later period then surely we would have records of the, aside from mythological stories. Also, we have no records of such creatures. The only thing that comes I would also like to bring up the far fetched idea that a creature could breathe fire, do we see anything like that today? If natural selection is true, than that seems a pretty good trait to keep around. But in my eyes, how could the insides of a creature withstand such an element?
Dragons were real!!

No problem and Thanks I got bored and thought of something that would be interesting. And you are a good debater so I wish you luck and I hope this will be a fun and surprising debate to others! Um... I didn't know that there would be different types of dragons... I think we should just debate the fact that there were dragons period, back during like the medievel times or middle ages maybe sometime around then. Going on to say: Dragons were real back in the day. The did exsist and they are not some fiction animal we read or hear about in stories and what not.
Handwritten Poetry Contest

SHE IS A LONELY GIRL Standing on the road with feelings a load Eyes full of tears But wiping out fears She is a lonely Girl! Depressions afoot going from head to foot cant decide where to go cant say what to do She is a lonely girl! Two ways to go as she had travelled both , hurt chose the third unhurt happily travels in one go! She is lonely girl! Settled her mind Go forward with a kind not cares for anyone , but cries for someone She is a lonely girl!
Handwritten Poetry Contest

This is a contest intended to see who can write the best poetry-only instead of composing it via this site, it will be handwritten. This is somewhat similar to my contest with XLAV, in which we both drew a picture of prophet Muhammad on a piece of paper, took a photograph of that drawing, uploaded it to this site and then copy/pasted it into the debate. The difference here is that there will be no drawing of prophet Muhammad; it will simply be a poem. The poem can have any theme, and be at any length. However, spelling/grammatical errors will of course be penalized by prospective voters. You may either write the poem on blank or lined paper.
Pokemon must be outlawed

IF we look at the show pokemon, a couple clear factors can be seen: 1. weird, japanese-created monsters battling each other 2. People capturing creatures against their will into freakishly small balls 3. Groups like "Team Rocket" being abused and constantly launched thousands of feet into the air, somehow surviving 4. Cheap animation costs 5. Horrible punchlines 6. A trading card game and video game market that causes kids to rob, murder, and assault just to get a Pikachu Now I am sure there is plenty more wrong with Pokemon, but just looking at this list we can see that pokemon need to be outlawed. We can't promote our kids to try to enslave harmless creatures that happened to be from Japan and then let them keep them in freakishly small balls and battle with them. We also can't let cheap animation and horrible punchlines to infiltrate our kids minds. We don't want them growing up to make another Animated version of The Hobbit. Plus we can't promote freefalling from thousands of feet without a parachute, surviving explosions, and not being effected by electricity. That is exactly what Pokemon does and it must be outlawed for the good of the country I now stand for cross-examination
