it is wrong to be gay

Hello FreakShow. Thank you for A. Following my debate for gay marriage, 2 challenging me to this debate with such a great topic. First I would like to state why being gay-lesbian is not a bad thing, first off the people who are gay are just like anybody ells, many are constructive members of their communities, and those who aren"t are in the same position of any strait person there is. Just because the people are attracted to those of the same gender, means nothing when you look at who they are as a person. Next I have to ask you a question that I was unable to ask my opponent in my Gay marriage debate, due to lack of time on the computer, (I have to share the computer with several other people) what about those who are transgendered, and have changed gender? Are Intersex"s wrong that they were born with both male and female parts, who are they suppose to love and be with? Please answer these questions, and think instead of are they wrong to be the way they are, how are they wrong to be the way they are?
it is wrong to be gay

The use of all that burn in hell stuff was not only completely pointless to the argument but also had me and all who read your argument over my shoulder, unsure if you were acting so disrespectful to myself and anyone who is gay-lesbian or making a parity or not. I would also like to point out that you made uneducated argument (that also had nothing to do with the argument) talking about how I as a Christian (which if you must not have read my profile because I am undecided about who is right when it comes to God) Your entire plan for homosexuals is to have them live in a way that they are unhappy with, and the same thing with Inter sexes that have no choice in the mater, really. You think that me treating others with respect and as equals is a sin, and use Gods word as a reason why all should be as good to each other as possible is in what my search for truth has found, is what he really is saying in the bible. Also you said that you don"t judge Homosexuals, I would like to point out that with words like "something so disgusting with so much heresy being involved is not just shameful. You supporting and defending these people is almost as bad as if you were sleeping with another man. The use of the bible for defending people knowingly rebelling against God is also a crime worthy of burning in hell with them." Or the title "it is wrong to be gay" might give the wrong impression to those who are reading this. For all who read this, whether you follow FreekShow"s version of the truth or not please vote, for either side.(preferably for con)
it is wrong to be gay

To DeepInThoght, I would like to begin this argument with saying you are a complete moron, for the first part there were several Greek gods not just zeus, 2nd you said that God wouldn't approve of what Lot did, That verse is merely saying that all people should be willing to sacrifice any thing, no mater how close that thing is to you, I would also like to say that I am shocked and outraged to find out that you are a, Christian and still support something so disgusting with so much heresy being involved is not just shameful. You supporting and defending these people is almost as bad as if you were sleeping with another man. The use of the bible for defending people knowingly rebelling against God is also a crime worthy of burning in hell with them. By the way I do wait for them to be judged by God, he is the one who will judge them, as he will judge them all. I don't judge them, I just say that what they do as they portend that they can just go and sleep around with who ever they want is a one way ticket to hell, and that I will be in heaven, wishing that they had followed the rules and could be there with me, that they would have listened to the warnings by people like me, saying that for them it would be better for them to have lived alone or just unhappy with someone of the opposite gender and do what they are supposed to do, to build a family. To answer your question of transgender people, they should be happy with the gifts that God gave them (their bodies) and not try to change Gods work. For your other question about intersexes, they could easily be do what I recommended earlier, and just try and live alone. Now I got a question for you as a "fellow Christian" would you rather burn in hell for not condemning the actions of these sinners, or join the people who do as God says, I do not say that Homosexuals can't redeem them selves, by turning away from Satan's path, and baring the cross that they have been given.

Recycling is pointless!

First of all, let me outline and also remind you about the positive aspects of recyling. Recycling is securing the future of our children and grandchildren since it is reducing, land pollution, air pollution and water contamination. Not only is it helping us live a better life, it is also saving money in the sense that it reduces a considerable amount of litter. For example, US tax payers are charged with $500 million every year just to pick up litter by crews along state highways. Recycling reduces the need for more landfills, therefore I completely disagree with the fact that recycling costs a lot of money.
Recycling is pointless!

However, if you take into consideration the amount of money that is spent by companies during the recycling process and the amount of energy required to make the transformation of these recycled products into new products. Regarding your point on global warming, we are recycling huge amounts of waste as we speak but the global warming issue is still happening despite this amount of waste that we recycle. This therefore provides evidence to my argument that no matter how many people recycle properly, the natural effects of global warming will inevitably flaw and undermine our effects to save the planet.
Obama Is A Bad President

Unfortunately, my opponent obviously didn't use the good luck I gave him. I will give it to him again, Good Luck, use it this time.1. GM and Chrysler can't have taxpayer money, they don't have anything to do with the government. Also, what kind of "conditions" are these in which you have to give money to GM and Chrysler.2. "If your country doesn't manufacture guns, then how does a criminal get a gun?" So the criminal isn't forever watched by the government. He can get his guns from illegal manufacturing, he could get them by illegal smuggling, he could even steal a gun.3. My future is my future, the seniors get their healthcare, as long as it doesn't take away my life. Rolling On The Floor Laughing After I Saw The One Below4. "Firstly, if I were aborted, I wouldn't care""I don't care about my life, I will go jump off a cliff! Drown myself! Maybe I could be a substitute for an electrical wire!" -OpponentDude! Go pursue a career in stand up, you'll make millions.5. "Congress approves and dictates all budgetary measures..."Like War? Like unnecessarily going over Libya?? Yes! Unfortunately for you and the US, Obama didn't get approval from the congress. Were back to square one, except for you helping me beat you in this debate. Aww... Thats so sweet, I seriously think you're insane.6. How else do you think sane people vote for him, he blames his mistakes on Bush. He spent more than bush.7. This has nothing to do with Obama and his Trolldency.8. So paying teachers more turns a kid that doesn't want to learn into a kid that wants to learn, tell me how that makes sense.9. So your putting an article about golf in my face and saying thats the reason Obama can play golf?10. That is war, it costs money, and it is unnecessary right now, especially when you don't have support from the congress.11. We have our own problems currently. We can't add to our list.12. What is a Freedom Problem??? It is a problem concerning Freedom!! Can you use your brain? I don't think you need anymore explaining, actually try to counter my argument next time!!13. Yay! It was your own fault you didn't counter any of them correctly.14. This is a new topic: ImmigrationObama wants to let everyone in to the US. If we get a flood of immigrants, our jobs will be lost, our immigrant workers will be lost, and its all so all the immigrants can vote for the Democrats. See! Obama is a troll. http://www.texasfred.net...
Obama Is A Bad President

Why you are wrong about everything: 1. Bush brought about the conditions that required the bailing out of GM and Chrysler (which you forgot to mention) through reckless, unwarranted spending - http://www.pbs.org... Bush was also the one to oversee the bailing out of the banks and car companies. It is also the job of Congress to oversee the finances of the country, the President is not required to submit a budget, Obama has simply opted to because Republicans are being so phenomenally and immaturely stubborn. 2. When did this happen? If your country does not manufacture guns, how is this criminal supposed to get a gun? 3. And when you are a senior, do you suppose you might like to have healthcare? Or should we just let you die because you weren't able to earn enough money to pay the arbitrary prices set by highly-paid doctors? Poor people are just not worth providing healthcare for then, correct? 4. Firstly, if I were aborted I wouldn't care...Secondly, you haven't defined "Murder" in any sense of the word, if you are going to use a term to prove a point it might behoove you to define the term before using it as part of your argument. 5. Congress approves and dictates all budgetary measures... 6. "He blames everything he's done on bush." - This sentence doesn't make sense, he is saying that his actions are done by someone else...from the past? Also, proof please? 7. http://www.tradingeconomics.com... - 2010 --> 2012 Just because your life prospects are dwindling doesn't allow you to extrapolate to the entire nation. NB: There are two types of people in the world, those who extrapolate from insufficient sets of data. 8. So how do you create an environment in which kids are willing to learn? Obviously not by incentivizing those responsible for their formal education, correct? 9. http://theweek.com... - QED. 10. American didn't enter into Libya, they simply flew over to prevent Libyan forces from utilizing the air space to attack the rebels, but they never entered into the country. By your logic you would need a dozen VISAS every time you flew across Europe... 11. Because people living outside of America are worthless? Also, we didn't go into Libya. 12. This also doesn't make sense? What is a freedom problem, you have to define your terms before you use them, otherwise they become moot. 13. This is redundant, but also as effective as the rest of your arguments, so I guess it works out. 14. http://data.bls.gov... This is the unemployment rate immediately after Bush's term (the part where it goes steeply upwards), followed by a smooth decline (the time when Obama was in office). Please explain how Obama caused Bush to usher in the most devastating recession in almost a century.
Obama Is A Bad President

There is 2 Rules For Debate 1. Gay marriage is a topic that governs gay marriage, not Obama, I also don't have an opinion about it, so it may not be mentioned in this debate. 2. I may forfeit quite a few times due to my schedule, so my opponent may not use it against me. Hmmmm... Why is Obama such a bad president... Reasons: 1. He gives money to General Motors, while General Motors is a complete joke of a company. 2. He bans guns, thinking that is the solution to stop killing, while he didn't take any steps to try and find the real reason. If a man is attacking you and you have a gun, chances are, he is smart enough not to come any further, but if there is no gun for the man, then he will end up getting beaten up REALLY HARD. Also, most guns that are in the criminals hands, come illegally, so gun control doesn't do anything good at all. 3. He makes kids pay their futures away for senior's healthcare. 4. He supports abortion, ABORTION IS MURDER. "First you rip the baby's legs off, then you crush the head, then you pull it out!" If you are reading this, you weren't aborted. 5. He spends way too dang much. 6. He blames everything he's done on bush. 7. He tries to give us the illusion that we are going forward, while we are going down. 8. He thinks that the kids education is governed on how good the teachers are paid, kids education level is governed by how much the kids are willing to learn. 9. He spends tax money on golfing. 10. He goes into Libya without getting support with congress first. 11. He goes into Libya, isn't that dumb enough, considering that IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE US. 12. He gets funded by Wall Street, as much as it sucks that the rich are rich and the poor are poor, taking money from the rich is a freedom problem. 13. EVERY FLIPPING THING ABOVE!!!!!!!!! So either my opponent is crying that he will lose this debate so early on, or he is raging that he will lose this debate so early on, or he was too dumb that he supports Obama, and is dumb enough to know that he lost this debate already. Good Luck Man I have done three debates, and lost three debates, so if the voters try to take me down, keep that in mind.
You choose the topic

Is Papa John my Father? He is indeed. It's hard to look that saucy goodness in the face and deny that my true papa is Papa John. Thick crust, fresh cheese, and garlic dipping sauce good enough justify the eventual heart disease it's going to cause. Every day papa comes home from work with a tasty pizza pie and I remember how my papa loves me so. I remember as a child Papa would bring me pepperonis to play with instead of toys. Sure the other kids laughed at me for playing with my meat instead of the zimbobs and wutzits that they had, but I didn't care.
Paramedics disposal of deceased patients

I believe that paramedics should be aloud to dispose of deceased patients instead of taking them all the way to the emergency room to be pronounced dead AGAIN. What if a dead man is in the back of the ambulance and there is no way to revive him and you hear a call that a four month old is in need of some urgent care. The paramedics would be halfway to the hospital to drop off a dead man before the infant received the care that they needed.

"Pro, copy pasting of text in any fashion whatsoever is a big taboo on DDO, unless it is in quotations and clearly cited. However, I am still willing to debate plagiarized content, I just thought that the plagiarism may be relevant on the topic of conduct points." This is a matter of opinion, though the voters will decide. You may be using sources, but you cannot claim that my arguments are not valid. B1. Free passage is senseless, you are allowing every Tom, Dick and Harry into the country, and the problem with that is, a countries population matters when it comes to an economy. Example being, it's the tax payers who fund those who are not working. So what you think happens to those that flood into the country and go onto the benefit system. You're forcing tax payers to pay higher taxes. This forces wages to be driven down, because you then have to compensate for the high taxation because they cannot afford to pay the wages of the people. It's common sense.B2. Look up the definition of Obligation, then Commitment, I quote the definition of Commitment "an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action." If these people are free to pay taxes, what it really is, is slavery, theft. As for the social programs, they need binned, not protected, it's the social programs that are destroying the economy and incentives to work. As well as government, it needs limited. B3. Lies, Westminster government was powerless over an immigrant prisoner and cannot deport him because of EU law. Most of Britain's laws are made in Brussels, you should know this. If you don't believe this, you can look it up.B4. What is that for logic, comparing countries like Germany who have strong free market principles, and then comparing Socialist countries outside the EU, as if this is some how a good comparison. Tell me, has the EU saw growth in its 40 years? If that's the case, why was there a Eurozone Crisis? Exactly, it's heading into collapse. Do you really think the Euro in decline is economic growth?These are just simple reasons that shows UKIP is going to win 2015. The EU is Socialist because it is Centralized. Part of what Socialism is about is Collectivism. What you think the EU is? It's Collectivized, it has one currency and one government that spans across all nation states collectively. Uses Central Planning which is part of what defines Socialism. As well of course as subsidizing, that is Socialist. What you must understand is that Central Planning doesn't work. Tell you what you should do, read 'Economics in One Lesson' by Henry Hazlitt as well as the Politically Incorrect Guide to Socialism. You'll get a clearer understanding. Centralization cannot work, it's impossible. The EU was not setup to protect you from war, it was setup as a cartel that is used for political power, was the foundations of global governance, it's anti-democratic.

A. Plagiarism Pro, copy pasting of text in any fashion whatsoever is a big taboo on DDO, unless it is in quotations and clearly cited. However, I am still willing to debate plagiarized content, I just thought that the plagiarism may be relevant on the topic of conduct points. It's unfortunate you had to plagiarize the remainder of the debate. My opponent seems to also not want to debate this topic that much anymore, so I'll be nice in the fact that I won't rebut as strongly as I could have so this ends quicker. If my opponent likes, we could both agree to forfeiting the last round. She could clarify so by saying "I forfeit this round" after I rebut, and then I will do the same.B. Brief RebuttalsIt should be noted that Con's paragraph is again a very broad, blanket statement that still doesn't really have much explanation to back it up. It labels points that are anti-EU, but fails to justify how they make sense in any way.B1 - Immigration: The EU's immigration policies are far from senseless. Allowing free passage between allied nations creates bonds between neighbours, not conflict. Why would a country be more resentful or inclined to be aggressive towards another knowing that millions of its' citizens live there?B2 - Borderless region: Whilst the Schengen Area does allow free passage, this in no way justifies any fallacy in the obligation of citizens to pay taxes. The government, social programs, and all sorts of other functions are not realistically effected if people can cross the street from the Netherlands to Belgium without getting a pat-down.B3 - Crime: Whilst this statement is untrue regarding crime statistics in Europe, it isn't even the obligation of the European Union to solve local crimes. This would be the obligation of each nation's federal government, or even perhaps the local police department. The EU is simply an alliance between governments, not some sort of mass crime enforcement league.B4 - "The EU wrecks the economy" - I tried posting a photo before and it didn't work, so here's the link: http://www.debate.org... In this chart, the actual and per capita GDP of nations are compared. One line is estimate whilst not in the EU, the other estimate is for the nation included in the EU. The results clearly show an economic benefit.All in all, I have won this debate so far as my opponent has failed to explain why her anti-EU points are valid, all she has done is copy plagiarized content with no explanation as to why it is legitimate. The EU promotes friendship between nations, the solidification of alliances, and allows economic growth through free trade.

The Bible is reliable

After all he says the Bible is accurate in that it records events as they truly happened. That is false. First, the Bible cannot be translated literally. Translation requires editing and editing leaves room for error. " In translating the Bible, the translators first translated it from Hebrew and Aramaic to Greek. Then, later, they translated the Greek version to Latin. Finally, they translated the Latin version (with help from the Greek version and the Hebrew version) to the Early Modern English version. And there were hundreds of years between these translations; plenty of time for language drift" [1]. The Bible itself does not claim that it is factually accurate in terms of history, science, geography and all other matters. 2 Timothy 3:16 reads "All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. " There are innumerable contradictions and inaccuracies in the Bible. For example, Genesis claims that God provides all plants for human consumption, yet science has shown that many plants are dangerous for us to eat. According to Leviticus 11:5-6, rabbits chew their cud and because of this they are unclean. But rabbits don't actually chew cud. The Bible claims that some patriarchs, such as Adam and Noah, lived to be over 900 years of age. Quite obviously that is impossible according to what we know about the lifespan of humans [2]. The Bible also makes questionable moral and political proposals as well, sometimes advocating murder, genocide, rape, pedophilia, slavery and sexism. Regardless, the factual errors are enough to prove the Bible is unreliable. It contains a lot of mythology [3] and mythology is fictional [4]. [1] . http://aattp.org...
