Rapists should experience the psychological and physical torture that they put their victims through

Throughout time, it is known that that whatever you do will come back to you. Some call it the law of the universe, others, 'Karma.' These rapists not only physically and sexually assault their victims, but also scar them for life. In some cases, the victim is seen as unfit for marriage and lose their chance of being a wife or husband! The feeling of helplessness and inferiority in those minutes are etched into their brain, forever replaying and the 'stop' button never works! The victim tries to forget and move on in life but some believe it was their fault that this happened to them, some believe that they shouldn't live after this! As a result of their situation, a lot of victims try to commit suicide! In some cases, the victims are ridiculed because people think they were willing to have sexual intercourse! These victims start to feel humiliated and embarrassed! Some people begin to immaturely avoid them like the plague! Their lives are ruined! Some women may now have to raise the child of the rapist, and their lives change. Some may have been in high school and have to leave to take care of the child! A lot of rape victims are afraid to come out and admit what happened to them because they want to live in denial: "If I pretend nothing happened, then maybe it was a bad dream..." Then, the truth hits them: they are living IN the bad dream. Can we as humans let the people that causes this just walk away unpunished? Wait, people! These rapists, how can they be people? They are more like monsters! Jail is like a hotel- food, shelter and friends. Should these people not be taught a lesson? Or should we just let them get away with what they have done, unpunished so we can clear a path for them to go repeat their sins with someone else?
Rapists should experience the psychological and physical torture that they put their victims through

It is of my firm belief that rapists should be put through the same, if not more, psychological and physical pain, in comparison to what they put their victims through. "What goes around, comes around," and "an eye for an eye," have been preached throughout lifetimes. Why should we let these inhumane monsters run around, mocking society as they leave their victims in pain- physically and emotionally? RULES: First round is acceptance and introduction, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds state three main points you will be arguing. 4th round- 3rd point AND rebuttal/solutions paragraph 5th- conclusions- no new points to be brought up here
African Americans Should Stay In The USA

I negate this on the fact of autonomy. We have a right to govern ourselves and do what we want. The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. Saint Augustine 1: We have rights. The right I mention is the pursuit of happiness. No one is denied that right. NO ONE! This is just the first reason. https://www.docsoffreedom.org... 2: Syrian refugees. We can't stop people from traveling. This includes the Syrian refugees. http://www.vox.com... 3: Racist. This is like stating that they were slaves once so we should make them slaves again. Too many people that were important to their country moved away. We have no rights to keep anyone anywhere. Conclusion: We don't have the rights, resources, and reason to keep them here. Let them go! Vote neg!
should schools teach a swag course SWAG101

This is a rather absurd topic. One especially, that is quite vague. Defining swag seems to be of great importance if we are to gain some sort of common ground. Swag, according to several different on-line dictionaries, is defined as a bundle of flowers. Referring to the more general usage of the word, it can either be attributed as a complement or insult. According to Urban Dictionary...perhaps I won't recommend you check Urban Dictionary because you may be offended. However, in this case, it seems you use the word swag as an synonym for crime. There is not a need for a "swag course" in order for kids to "learn how not to get beat up in the real world." The already existing alternative is a self-defence class. Many elementary schools, as well as secondary schools ,offer self-defence classes. It is apparent that there are far greater issues surrounding adult hood than people getting beat up. Three examples of issues of far greater importance are motivating kids to achieve higher marks or be motivated to do well in school so they can attend a good college or university, or at the very least, develop a good work ethic. The second example is getting a job; I feel people worry far more about finding employment in the future than the thought of getting beat up. Lastly, kids should be more concerned with developing friendships. A course such as life skills would be far more useful than something as strange as a "swag course." "Also if the number of swag rises then there will be more gangs and more gangs means more drugs and the drugs will help the economy."- I am not even sure where to start with this awfully peculiar statement. I am not sure what you mean by "drugs will help the economy." Illegal drugs? Prescription drugs? More people consuming drugs? Where do you think the drugs come from? And how would they help the economy? Gangs are notorious from committing criminal acts, and you want the number gangs to rise? That would surely create more crime and illegal drugs in society. In conclusion, to teach a "swag course" in schools would be promoting more criminal acts and an increase in illegal drugs in society. That, precisely, is the exact opposite of what a majority, if not close to all people, want. As well, to teach a "swag course" is a paradoxical argument. You want to teach kids how to defend themselves so they can face the physical hard ships of life, but simultaneously, you want crime rate to increase and give society more drugs. How completely absurd.
Plans for world peace

1. Every country would eventually elect a new leader. Thus, we get new problems. Therefore, if we destroy every country and its inhabitants, there would be no problems. 2.This is not counterproductive. To have peace, there must be war. 1. Color blindness actually just hides the colors red and green and in some cases, blue and yellow. Just kill all of the races. Furthermore, people would probably still know there race and feel pride in that. This causes conflict. 2 Peace through superior firepower 3. If this is done, farmers would want to know what else is out there. This curiosity would cause problems. Furthermore, some people may not be directly wired for farm work and would be better for a sewing job. Give that person the sewing job, it will increase workers ethic. 4 Very well. And the government must provide the exact same amount of food to every person so that no one gets any more. 5. This cannot be done, if it can, the governmet would have to be the ones who determine the relationships. Some people are naturally better communicators and will get more. Furthermore, this would go against the Christian beliefs and only Christians would be left. 6 We agreed 7. Difference in intellegence will make people feel inferior which could lead to riots. Everyone should be educated the exact same. 8. With this point, it only takes one person to make everyone discontent. There will be no class warfare with no classes. 9. This will cause laziness and people would not work as much. Thus, people work different amounts which causes malcontent. In addition, this will hurt work ethic. 10. Only legalize books written after the peace plan that the governemt has approved. People need a form of entertainment otherwise they will get bored and start to think. Taking away freedom of speech will make people scared of saying something wrong. This fear can cause conflict with the government. However, if someone desides to get smart and start rallying for a cause, they can simply "move away" and never come back. In other words, we kill them. 11. Agreed, I do not like it anyway. Again, I do not believe that we should do any of this and I simply wish to continue things as they are. If the government is so desperate that they would want to make world peace, this is how they would have to do it and will probably find that it is not worth it.
Plans for world peace

1. Useless. Countries don't cause war, their leaders and opposing beliefs do. We can keep countries, just remove other factors that start wars. Onto domestic issues... 1. Instead, create an infection that will be spread by air which will render ever race color blind. 2. I find this step to be counter productive... No need to kill. That defeats the purpose. Just send those outsiders to rehabilitation camps. Or better yet, just other sections of the society where they can thrive peacefully. 3. From birth, preselect the employees and brainwash them to love their job. Grow the farmers together and ONLY teach them farming so that's all the know and love. 4. Get ride of money all together. Have the government provide every person with their necessary food and entertainment. 5. Again, counter productive. Instead, end all marriages. Allow that to be a forgotten tradition. Make everyone belong o everyone else. Relationships will now be on a nightly basis. 6. No argument there. This will be needed from the beginning to teach the kids such ideals as my #5. 7. Education will not be a problem. Simply only teach the farmers how to farm and the mathematicians how to do math. Extras on my part: 8. Create a class based system so that others are greater and people know there place in the world, but make them content about it. 9. Provide cheap forms of constant happiness. This can be done the creation of a harmless drug that will calm and relax people. Something like marijuana. 10. Make all books illegal. Same goes for any types of free speech that could possible cause an unstable society. 11. End all social media. The social media can create havoc in a second with instant communication.
Plans for world peace

1. Everything you are about to read is satirical but will work in creating world peace 2. I do not believe world peace is even possible, but if it is, this is how it is done. 3. Down to business 1. In order for world peace, we must destroy every other country in the world so that there will be no countries to fight. 2. Now that international problems are solved, we must solve the domestic issues 1. Conflict is the cause of fighting, fighting goes against peace. Racial conflict is a problem therefore, every race other than the dominant white race would have to be killed, leaving only white people.(not racist, this is how world peace comes) 2. Many of the debates on debate.org are about gay rights and religion. Kill the gays, no more conflict with them, and kill the atheists because they will cause problems for the Christians. 3. The government must select everyone's jobs based on personality, thus, people will like their jobs. Ensure that no one works harder in any of these jobs. Do this by making farmers work six hours and politicians work twelve. The work will balance out. Thus, no one works any more than someone else. 4. Pay everyone the exact same per day. No matter the job. No one will get rich. In addition, put expiration dates on all of the money so no one can get smart and save it, making them wealthier. 5. Marital conflict is also a problem. The government would have to choose everyone's spouse and there would have to be a perfectly even number of boys and girls. If more boys are born in the day, kill the babies so that the number of boys equal the girls. If a girl dies, then a boy born on the same day would also die. 6. Different parenting styles and values cause children to be different, these differences lead to conflict, which leads to war, which would not be peaceful. Thus, all children would have to be raised by the government in mass youth housing. All children must be taught the same principles. 7. Differences in education lead to some being inferior, which causes conflict. Thus, everyone must be educated equally. No honors or remedial classes. Also, all classes must be lectures without questions because questions can sometimes lead to doubt which causes conflict. The person who debates with me should say why this is not a method for world peace. I must prove my method so I have the BOP. My opponent may also offer their personal plan for peace. Debating that we should not have world peace or do nothing is not an option because that is what I believe anyway. My opponent must prove my plan false and potentially prove their own plan(this will go as the debate continues.) This is not meant to be a troll topic, but it is meant to be satirical. I am basically trying to show that there is no practical method for world peace if there is any at all. I would prefer that you post your own method so I could have something to disprove. Overall claim: Cowboy's plan for world peace should be adopted because it will solve all conflicts.
Plans for world peace

Here is what we agree on: All countries should be destroyed. Giving people jobs Families should no longer be considered Communism/socialism must be adopted to have world peace. Problems with what you say: Religion would easily persuade people to be peaceful. It is easier for people to adopt a religion than to forget one. If everyone has the same religion, people are more similar. In order for genetic engineering of people, the government would have to choose a spouse or partner for people to reproduce. Choosing a spouse for people would help your genetic engineering idea along which would make it work. Part of my plan for universal Christianity would be marriage, otherwise questions would form. In addition, my plan can provide better population control. Final Plan: Destroy all countries Kill all but the white people Government chooses jobs Government chooses spouses Spouses, aside from personality profiles, should be paired to produce beneficial offspring. The government raises this offspring. Provide free food equal in amounts to all people. Censor Media Create Universal Christianity Do not teach that people have families This will work. But I just assume keep things how they are now. This is my final plan.
Plans for world peace

New Proposal: 1. Create a class based system such as first, second, thirds, fourth 2. Have the govt develop and raise the children to be perfect for their jobs through genetic engineering. The fourth class people can be the laborers. They can be made to be very short and very stupid so they would never revolt. This can keep production stable. 3. Keep each class in separate facilities so they never interact with anyone of another class. 4. Provide food for free and pay them with entrance into facilities where they can spend their time drugged out and feeling good. 5. Control all media, end all religions. Brain wash everyone to love their drugs and their work, nothing more. 6. Never teach about family, no more mother or father or brother or sister. 7. If marriage and family is never taught to the people, then they will revert to their natural ways and essentially just mate with each other. There will be no feelings, just physical relief. 8. If the government provides for everything the people could want, then there would never be a yearning for them to do anything else. No fighting for anything.
God exists

I apologize for my absence, as I was not able to have access to a computer, summer vacation you know = ) However, I can still win my case. You said: I cannot accept that you exist without a creator, because you did not create yourself. You are not an all powerful independent, self-existing being who can create things out of nothing. Indeed this is how we can define God. I say: I didn't make myself, my parents did. Going all the way back, we can refer to the Theory of Evolution. Of course, you can find loopholes in it, but we can not explain everything. There is no need to revert to supernatural theories of magical aspects, since there is no such thing as magic. Since you have declared my other points 'irrelivant', I will assume the most traditional point. WE CAN NOT PROVE GOD'S EXISTANCE! If we could, we would end all polytheistic religions, which I don't believe it is just to condem them because they are not monotheistic. You can not, nor has anyone else, been able to prove the existance of God. We may be able to in the future, if there is one, but we can not prove it now, so my opponent should not win this debate. I fail to see where my opponent provided adequet and concrete proof of God's existance. I must ask the audience not to be biased in thier voting if they do believe in God, because I do personally as well.
God exists

Since there is no specific God, Allah,-whatever, I will assume it is God in general. My opponents case centers mainly around the point that, and I quote, "Isn't their existence itself proof of God's existence? " No. If there is such a sentinent being, who created him? If you entertain the idea of God just being there without creation, why can't you entertain the idea of me being here without creation? I would also like to point out your interesting, and true, statement about Scientific evidence. Like the earth being round. I assume that you agree it is round. The Catholic Church declared it blasphemy to say that God's creation was otherwise. They would not accept the idea of it being round, because they THOUGHT it went against God. We can now prove that it IS round, and they were forced to change their views on it. If they change their beliefs, how can we say that their relgion is right, when it isn't concrete? It shifts to make way for logic and reasoning. Also, in almost all religions, it says to have faith and believe in God. Where's the proof? If we just believe in one religion just to believe, why not jump around to all religions and believe? Believing without proof is illogical. Since there is no logic, there can be no real discussions, leading to religious intolerance. This can lead to acts like the Inquisition, in which the Catholic Church slaughtered people they thought were heritics (went agenst the will of God). I'm not going to entertain the idea and ask my opponent questions about why God does what he does, because I'm sure he does not know anything but what he believes and is told, since this is a debate based on beliefs, so I will close and allow my opponent to speak.
The Virgin Mary is a queen bee

The Virgin Mary is just a representation of the queen bee. Ancient people thought that the queen bee was a virgin because they didn't have the technology to follow the queen bee in flight. Note - The queen bee mates with drones while in flight so it is difficult to observe this mating. Thus, the idea of the immaculate conception came about because ancient people thought that the queen bee was a virgin and gave birth without any sex. Thus, the Virgin Mary is just a symbol of the concept of virgin birth which was thought of as some kind of a religious miracle. http://www.theguardian.com... https://books.google.com.au...
The Virgin Mary is a queen bee

I honestly don't understand the debate as we had gone from talking about the Virgin Mary to Christianity is a sun worshiping religion. "It does not state anywhere in the scriptures that the queen bee has anything to do with the Virgin Mary. This is just a modern day interpretation by some members of the clergy." Pro has basically contradicted himself as he is arguing that the Virgin Mary is a queen bee and he has clearly stated that the Virgin Mary is not a queen bee but it is instead a modern day interpretation. "It should be noted that the Bible is full of natural analogies which follow the seasons of nature. Christians celebrate Christmas on the winter solstice. They celebrate Easter when the sun-god has defeated the god of night ( both pagan beliefs)" This has nothing to do with the argument at hand in which we are arguing if the Virgin Mary is a queen bee, not what Christians, like myself, celebrate and when they celebrate. "Jesus is a symbol of the sun. He died on the cross. (That's the Southern Cross in northern hemisphere) Note - The southern cross points to the horizon during the 23rd to 25th of December period. Note the sun takes 3 days to change direction from a southerly direction to a northerly direction. Thus, Jesus is just a symbol of the sun which is reborn after 3 days." Pro has still yet to say anything about the Virgin Mary being a queen bee as he states that Jesus is a symbol of the sun, he died on the cross, and the cross points to the horizon during the 23rd to 25th of December. "We can plainly see that the Bible is just an analogy of nature in all respects. Thus, the Virgin Mary and the queen bee is just another of these many natural analogies. Thus, the Bible could be said to be a guide book on the seasons and characteristics of nature. Thus, Christianity is essentially a pagan sun/nature worshiping religion." Pro, after presenting an argument relating nothing to the debate at hand, says that the Virgin Mary and the queen bee is just another analogy even though he said at the beginning, "It does not state anywhere in the scriptures that the queen bee has anything to do with the Virgin Mary. This is just a modern day interpretation by some members of the clergy." Pro then makes an attempt to say something about the religion of Christianity by calling it a "sun worshiping religion" instead of saying anything else about the Virgin Mary and how she is related to a queen bee. In conclusion, the queen bee and the Virgin Mary have nothing alike for the Virgin Mary had no sexual interactions with Joseph to give birth to Jesus Christ, the queen bee has to have sexual interactions with drones, and Pro has said in his debate that the queen bee has nothing to do with the Virgin Mary.
The Virgin Mary is a queen bee

My opponents reply is illogical. He states that the Virgin Mary just uses the queen bee concept as a natural example of virginity. I have clearly demonstrated that the queen bee does in fact have sexual intercourse with drones. Thus, the ancient religious clergy had got it wrong and have falsely associated the Virgin Mary with the queen bee. It does not state anywhere in the scriptures that the queen bee has anything to do with the Virgin Mary. This is just a modern day interpretation by some members of the clergy. It should be noted that the Bible is full of natural analogies which follow the seasons of nature. Christians celebrate Christmas on the winter solstice. They celebrate Easter when the sun-god has defeated the god of night ( both pagan beliefs) Jesus is a symbol of the sun. He died on the cross. (That's the Southern Cross in northern hemisphere) Note - The southern cross points to the horizon during the 23rd to 25th of December period. Note the sun takes 3 days to change direction from a southerly direction to a northerly direction. Thus, Jesus is just a symbol of the sun which is reborn after 3 days. We can plainly see that the Bible is just an analogy of nature in all respects. Thus, the Virgin Mary and the queen bee is just another of these many natural analogies. Thus, the Bible could be said to be a guide book on the seasons and characteristics of nature. Thus, Christianity is essentially a pagan sun/nature worshipping religion. https://books.google.com.au... http://jesusastrotheology.com...
