Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women

Yes, I agree that i have wrongly titled my subject, and it should be-" women should be punished harshly for fake rape accusations.". So lets continue our argument now. Women are not at all being punished for these fake rape accusations, is the thing to which i am against. I again say that they should be severely punished as much as the particular man has suffered in every case. Ex- When Robert Nelson was released after 30 years after he was proved innocent , the woman(who accused him wrongly) should have immediately been given 30 years in prison. ex- if another man has been in prison for 15 years , the woman should also be sent to the prison for 15 years once the man is proved innocent, like that..but there should be a minimum number of years in prison for wrong rape accusations, ex 10 and maximum number should be the number of years more than 10 the victim has suffered due to this, as this is a serious crime against men who are starved of their dignity and image in the society which affects there work, family, mental health, etc. She should also be made to compensate him for defamation and amount of money he has spent to fight the case. Fair enough, right? Tit for Tat. If these punishments are initiated, these fake rape accusation statistics will definitely come down since such women will be afraid of the consequences for their actions. But for now, since it is not punishable, these women are not afraid of the law. The above is my argument for this debate. This is not related to this particular debate but since you raised the issue I argue- Since you said the biased rules are necessary for protection of women, I say then why not make gender neutral laws. Why only the women are being protected. Why not men are protected by law. I accept that crime against them is "LESS" when compared to women but there are crimes against them also, and" 40% domestic violence victims are men" is not that small number. Its approximately half. So I argue that why not protect both. Why" ONLY" women are being protected and there are no rules for men.Well, you are willing to agree that minorities interest are less important than the majority, then I can settle for your views.(in terms of victims of crime- men are minority and women are majority). We can start a separate debate for this particular topic...
Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women

Counter-Arguments: "Dewott knight, I respect your argument and understand that "fake" rape accusations in America are less(2-8%), but it exists, right? may be less but a crime is a crime" I am not denying the fact that false rape allegations exist, I am merely stating that fake rape case is rare in more developed countries where technology has advanced further than that of NDCs and LDCs. Fake rape case CAN be a lethal weapon for women. "1- sexual harassment is "NOT" gender neutral (zero protection to men, 100% to women) 2-Act of intent to disrobe or stripping forcefully someone is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women and not men) 3-Voyeurism is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women) 4-Stalking is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women)- 1 in 19 men have been victim of stalking in "AMERICA" 5- section 498-A- If a women accuses husband of dowry demand, he and his entire family will be thrown into jail on the basis of just a complaint(trial will start later on). It is a non bailable offence and is being "MISUSED" on a large scale.(google it) 6- Domestic violence act 2005- only women are protected but "NOT" men, and BTW, in domestic violence cases in India, 40% victims are Men, but they don't have a single law to be protected, sadly) and many more such rules exist in India." Most of these "Biased rules" only exist because Women are naturally more likely to be targeted in these certain "Biased rules" you have listed. A women is more-likely to suffer sexual harassment from a man than vice versa. A women is more-likely to be stalked by a man than vice versa. These "Biased rules" are fit to set around the turns society is taking, you seem to ignore this. "MY argument is that they should be severely and harshly punished, the same way the accused is punished in a real rape case." Women should be punished harshly to some extent for false rape allegations, ironically however the argument you say you are fighting for is entirely different than what you actually intended to argue for. Your title of what you are fighting for is "Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women", but what it should read by your argument should say "Women should be harshly punished for false rape allegations" the argument you say you are for is entirely different than what your title says you are for, this is a major hole in your argument. Arguments: To sum it up, false rape allegations mostly appear in LDCs and NDCs, due to technology in these types of countries technologically being worse. The false rape allegations in the US, and other MDCs prove this. Society will form itself based on what the people make of it, it will not make itself up to form the agenda you want it to be. Not only this, but your original argument is much different than what you say you are arguing for, if you really are arguing for what you say you are arguing, why isn't your title in anyway similar to what you say you are arguing for? I am no modern day "Feminist", and only entered this debate for a decent challenge, again, good luck.
Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women

Dewott knight, I respect your argument and understand that "fake" rape accusations in America are less(2-8%), but it exists, right? may be less but a crime is a crime. Anyways, America is a developed country and a superpower, but there are many countries which are developing and have these "fake" cases very high in number.I am primarily talking about India, in which after the Nirbhaya rape incident 2012 in Delhi (you can google it-it was a brutal gang rape incident in a bus which resulted in the death of the victim sadly),the" fake" rape accusations have increased up to 53% in 2013. I don't think that is by any means a small number, come on knight, it's more than half of the accusations. I agree that a real rape is a brutal crime against both men and women(out of every 10 rape victims, 1 is a male), and I am not denying that it requires the harshest of punishments. But what about this 53% figure. Shouldn't these men be given justice equally. Shouldn't these women be equally prosecuted and punished severely, but sadly this is not happening. As I said in my last argument, these women face maximum 6 months in prison, that's it. I am against this situation of the society. And you probably don't know that in India, recent rules which have been made are very much women centered and biased against men. Ex- In case of a "fake" rape accusation, the accused will be thrown into jail without a bail option, as rape is a non compoundable and a non bailable crime, and investigations will start later unlike America, which means that based on these 53% "fake" accusations, many men are imprisoned without a trial(which comes later), and even in a trial in India these men face a tough time proving these accusations "fake", as I said that rules are 100% women centered. Some of these biased rules are- 1- sexual harassment is "NOT" gender neutral (zero protection to men, 100% to women) 2-Act of intent to disrobe or stripping forcefully someone is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women and not men) 3-Voyeurism is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women) 4-Stalking is "NOT" gender neutral (protects only women)- 1 in 19 men have been victim of stalking in "AMERICA" 5- section 498-A- If a women accuses husband of dowry demand, he and his entire family will be thrown into jail on the basis of just a complaint(trial will start later on). It is a non bailable offence and is being "MISUSED" on a large scale.(google it) 6- Domestic violence act 2005- only women are protected but "NOT" men, and BTW, in domestic violence cases in India, 40% victims are Men, but they don't have a single law to be protected, sadly) and many more such rules exist in India. Well, my argument is just that under such rules and conditions, it's very hard for a man to prove himself innocent in cases of "Fake" rape accusations, and even if they do, as I said , there is no punishment for these "53%" bitches. MY argument is that they should be severely and harshly punished, the same way the accused is punished in a real rape case.
Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women

You haven't put out how our arguments will align with the rounds, so I will simply argue for my side, while countering your arguments for each round. Counter Arguments: Firstly, the women filing a rape accusation must prove they have been raped in court, not simply file rape and the man is sent away as soon as possible, this isn't the case. False rape accusation percent is generally very low, the FBI found the highest at one point being 8%, the lowest 2%. False rape accusations can be high, yet in fair countries, rape accusations are usually very low. Rape allegations can be fake of course, yet in court they can be dispelled by proper evidence and proper argument. How you argument seems generally over sensitive and sloppy, this will only lead people into voting against you. Arguments: What you really should be stating is: "Women can falsely accuse men of rape", and "Women falsely accusing men of rape can sometimes workout very negatively for the man". Generally however, false rape accusations are again very low and can be deadly to the men accused. Finally, fake rape accusations can be potentially deadly for the men, but since the numbers are low, women haven't made this out as the problem you exaggerate it to be.
Fake rape case is a lethal weapon for women

Fake rape allegation is a huge problem which has been there in the society since 20th century. There are many women out there who misuse their power and file a false complaint against an innocent man and charge him for raping them. As a result of which, these innocent men have suffered prolonged period in prisons for a crime they haven"t committed. Many men have suffered for 30 years in prison, most of whom eventually commit suicide. Statistically, fake rape allegation in USA is 8%, but in many countries like India it is 18%, and it was around 80-90% in Thailand at one point of time. According to Men"s rights activists, it"s around 41%, but no one knows the actual number. This is really a big issue and such Women (bitch is a more suitable term for such girls and women) should be harshly punished for this crime, which is still not happening. Till today, there is no punishment for such evil act, maybe in some cases, these women can get 6 months - 1 year in prison, that too in rare cases. So, for indirectly murdering a man, they get away with 6 months confinement, and you call this feminism??
Obama is either gay or bisexual and a former crack user

First off, Dr. Gelb isn't a doctor, he's a phony..... http://antipolygraph.org... Secondly, polygraph tests only have an accuracy of about 61% http://en.wikipedia.org... Third, whitehouse.com after supposedly examining Larry Sinclair for 4 hours w/ a polygraph has posted on their website, "Deception Indicated". That's it dude.... It doesn't say whether Obama is being deceptive, it doesn't say whether Larry is deceptive. And really, considering Obama isn't actually even acknowledging Larry's existence (personally put in the situation I wouldn't either, I think he is a dumb@ss) then Obama can't actually be being deceptive. If a deception is occurring it is happening via Larry Sinclair as he is the only one making statements. Obama is currently doing nothing. You can't deceptively do nothing. -.- http://www.clevelandleader.com... Fourth concerning your computer which apparently decided Sinclair was right. You're pulling this directly from a blog. In fact, this is the only place on the internet that states such a thing: http://blogs.phillyburbs.com... The article is number 5. Written of course by Mrs. Dewy K. Who is this....? Furthermore 3 sentences under where it states that the computer found him to be truthful it quite clearly says: "The DACA guidelines indicate that when there is conflict between the examiner's or reviewer's score and Polyscore, the human score takes precedence. The computer algorithms are considered to be useful supplements, but they are not definitive," Doo dee doo...... Fifth, you have completely dropped every point from my last speech. You admit that if Larry had a motivation then he would lie. Sixth, you dropped my point from the first speech stating that Larry Sinclair is a past criminal on many accounts and thereby is very capable of libel. Seventh, you have offered no credible evidence what-so-ever, in fact I can't even find evidence period (never mind credible evidence) that this polygraph test ever occurred. Eight, just because I think it is amusing: Larry Sinclair is currently residing in the district of Columbia under arrest for forgery and theft. Source: Check the one link that my opponent has posted in his third round. Near the bottom of the page they begin discussing his arrest. Some small part of me had to smile. Larry Sinclair is an idiot. The allegations against Obama are at best extremely doubtful. Case negated.
Obama is either gay or bisexual and a former crack user

Larry Sinclair challenged Obama to a lie detector test. He unilaterally took one a few months ago. The results were 'negative', meaning the person who administered the test said he was basically lieing. This was given by Obama supporters that the allegations were false. There were two areas the polygraph covered: 1. allegation of oral sex 2. allegation of drug use The test was administerd by a 'Dr. Gelb'. His doctorate is from a correspondence school The results would then be reviewed by a Dr. Barland. See the discussion on antipolygraph.org site here: https://antipolygraph.org... There are three results. One by Gelb, two by Barland and the third is the computer generated score. Gelb claims he failed on both. Barland agrees with Gelb on both counts. The computer results... 1. Drug allegation shows Sinclair telling the truth by computer score: "I also evaluated the second series using the computer algorithm PolyScore (v. 6.0). It evaluated the charts as No Deception Indicated, and calculated the probability of deception as being less than .01 on a scale from .00 to 1.00. " 2. Sex allegation...no computer score given! Other problems with the method include: 1. "In scoring Sinclair's polygrams, Barland was not blinded with regard to any of the following salient details: * The name of the original examiner; * The name of the examinee; * The nature of the examinee's allegations; * The actual polygraph questions asked (as opposed to just their type -- relevant, control/comparison, irrelevant, etc., which is all that is needed to score the charts); * The decision(s) rendered by the original examiner" 2. Allegations Axelrod funded whitehouse.com (the ones sponsering the test) $750,000 to discredit Sinclair. Given the circumstances surrounding the test, at best one can say this shows nothing, at worst it shows a concerted effort to hide the computerized test scores and a systemic attempt by the Obama campaign to cover up the correct allegations by Mr. Sinclair.

Ah, of course, motivation. That would be a strong case indeed if it could be undoubtedly established that he has no motivation. As it stands we have two scenarios: A. He has no motivation what-so-ever, in this scenario why would he even bother with the allegations? I mean, even if his allegations were completely and 100% true, if he has no motivation then he has no reason to tell everyone. Obviously he must have some amount of motivation. B. He has a motivation. Someone, somewhere is paying him something to accuse Obama. In this scenario he of course will have the choice to tell people that he has the motivation. However, at the moment he tells people of his motivation and they realize it is not legit he no longer is detracting from Obama. Thus it is likely that a man with a motivation to commit libel would in fact lie (yeah, oh my god, he's actually capable of that O.o) to reporters when asked. So the question of course becomes, would such a man commit libel in the first place? The answer, considering his past history, is that he is more than capable of such an act. Thereby it is quite obvious that the topic of this debate has been negated, the Con side is much more probable than the Pro.

When committing a crime, one of the most important things to establish is motivation. The reporters repeatedly asked him why he was coming out and why now. He has no financial interest as pointed out by the contributions he has received. He has no political interest as he is not affiliated with any of the three campaigns. He has no love interest as he claims they were one night stands. He has volunteered his medical records to show that he is not crazy. Which brings us back to the question of motivation. Why would a sane person with no motivation commit the crime of libel?

Yep, Larry Sinclair rented out a press space and gave a formal press conference. The money for him to do this apparently has come from many different individuals around the united states sending him funds. Individuals of course who have no inside experience with any of this allegations, individuals who simply want this story to go big. In other words, this entire thing is really being done by one man. A man let me remind you who has done many different types of check fraud, credit fraud, drug smuggling and usage, and has smuggled mexicans across the border for money. To cut this simple, If I stood up right now and told the world that the Pope was a bisexual and a former crack user I, myself, would have more credibility than Larry Sinclair. The fact that Larry Sinclair is doing this with his outstanding lack of proof in no way proves that Obama is bisexual or that Obama is a former crack user.
Obama is either gay or bisexual and a former crack user

I will take either the pro or con side depending on what my challenger decides. Last week Larry Sinclair gave a press conference regarding his allegations that he performed oral sex on Obama and he witnessed him using crack. http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com...
the topic of this debate is creation vs evolution which is basically how u think we came about peace

My opponent failed to post within the alloted time which cause the forfeiture of last round. This should lead to an automatic win for me because of the following three reasons. 1. My opponent started this debate and thus not making an argument in round 2 is unacceptable. 2. All of my arguments have been flowed through to the next round. 3. My opponent has failed to bring up even one reasonable argument for his side.
the topic of this debate is creation vs evolution which is basically how u think we came about peace

Since my opponent did not define the scope of the debate, I will do so now. The current form of the resolution is undebatable so I will try to explain it. The resolution is comparative between creation and evolution. My opponents burden thus is to show that creation is a likely source for the creation of the universe and to show why the theory of evolution is bad. My burden is to refute my opponents arguments against the theory of evolution and show why it makes sense. So now I will address my opponents arguments and bring up some of my own. "my opening argument is dat the fact that we came from monkeys is ridiculous and offensive. im not saying that monkeys are stupid but doezn't it seem kinda strange? " Throughout the first round my opponent only makes one argument: The idea that humans came from monkeys is ridiculous. I have two responses. 1. My opponents burden is to disprove evolution. He does this by saying that it is ridiculous that we came from monkeys. My first response is that just because something is ridiculous but that doesn't mean it's untrue. For example: a. I might think it is ridiculous that there are billions of stars in the sky, but that doesn't mean it's not true. b. I might think it's ridiculous that the earth contains billions of people, but that doesn't mean it's untrue. c. And finally, my opponent might think it ridiculous that we evolved from monkeys but that doesn't mean it's untrue. My second response to my opponents first argument is that he doesn't address creation at all. His advocacy is supposed to be that creation is more reasonable but he does not show why. He has been unable to prove his position and thus, you can't let him win the round. Now I will provide my own arguments as to why evolution is reasonable and why you must vote for me in this round: 1. Proof Exists: The following website-(. http://www.allaboutcreation.org...) explains, In his pivotal opus Origin of Species (1859) Darwin presented various evidences for proof of evolution. Among these he sited domestic breeding, anatomical similarities among species ("homology"), the sequential order of fossils, the presence of "vestigial" organs, and the natural phenomenon which he dubbed "natural selection. " 2. My opponent has failed to meet his burden. His opening argument was a ridiculous claim and he offered absolutely no argumentation as to why creation outweighs evolution. In this round, my opponent has failed to succesfully argue cration or successfully disprove evolution. I have presented that there is proof for evolution and none for creation.
European Constitutional Monarchies Ought to be Dissolved

ROUND 1This debate will be about the constitutional monarchies of Europe and whether or not this form of government should be accepted. The premise of this debate is the Constitutional Monarchies of Europe ought to be dissolved. I will take the Pro side of the premise, while my opponent will obviously take the Con side. For reference, the following European nations still have constitutional monarchs: AndorraBelgiumDenmarkLiechtensteinLuxembourgNetherlandsNorwaySpainSwedenUnited KingdomMonaco*Vatican City*This debate will have four rounds, with 10,000 characters per round. Each debater will have 72 hours to post their argument. The first round will be for acceptance only, while the final round will be for concluding statements and any other rebuttals.As for the rules, I will keep them generic. No trolling, use of semantics, or personal attacks. Also I would like to make it so that Wikipedia is considered a viable source for this debate and ask the voters to consider this when voting. I have also decided to make this debate impossible to accept, so if you are interested in debating please leave a comment or PM me. Expecting a great debate and good luck! *If you consider them "countries".
Twitter is better than Facebook

While you may be able to connect with people on Twitter it does not have the number of people Facebook does, making Facebook better in that argument. Please stay on subject. I do not deny you get information on Twitter faster, but that would not make Twitter a better social networking site. You failed to attack that Facebook has a wider range of activities, and since you don"t deny it, you must agree. I NEVER called to pope a liar. You are being ignorant on the subject please take this in a serious manner.
