A crowbar is the best melee weapon in a zombie apocalypse.

Also I would like to ask, what is the format of the next two rounds? Thank you. Now I would like to combat your debate by using a studded baseball bat as the best possible weapon. A studded baseball bat is extremely effective for three reasons being 1. these are easy to make or find. 2. This weapon is plays against a zombies hunting sense. And 3. These forms of weapons are extremely useful for head shots, a zombie's kryptonite or Achilles heel. I back up my first contention in that these bats are extremely easy to make, needing only a couple materials. These materials are of course, a wooden bat, bolts, and some form of drill, not neccesarily an electric one. To make, simply put several holes in the bat and strengthen the bolts. These materials are not likely to be looted in an apocalypse either, as most will go for bullets and a gun instead of a bat and bolts. I back up my second contention in that this bat is extremely quite, as the only sound is the crunch of a zombies skull. To look into this, I would like so explain how a zombie hunts. According to modern media, Zombies use three techniques to find and kill. The first would be sound. Weapons such as guns make very loud noises, but a bat simply hits the zombie and leaves, creating a dull thud that can be heard from a short distance. A zombie's second hunting technique is sight, which is difficult to protect against, but plays with the point I explain in a zombie's third sense. This is smell. According to popular TV show "The Walking Dead", zombies can tell whether or not a person is dead. With a bat, while disgusting, a splash of the zombie's brains and skin will be created on impact, making one smell much like a zombie. This will also cause an image that may be reminiscent of a zombie, leading off any zombies based on sight. Finally, my last contention states that studded bats are used almost entirely for head shots, which is a zombie's weak point. Once again, according to the media, a head shot is the only way to kill a zombie, and that combined with their power in numbers creates their danger. A bat can quickly move back and forth, crushing skulls without getting stuck or pulled away while heading to the next target. Thank you for reading, I hope for a good debate
A crowbar is the best melee weapon in a zombie apocalypse.

My argument is that a titanium crowbar is the best melee weapon in the zombie apocalypse because, a crowbar can be used for prying open, locked, or jammed doors, As a hammer, Moving objects,There are also multiple ways to kill a zombie with it, You could use the flat end to go through the eyes to the brain, You could use the backside of the crowbar as a blunt weapon, You could simply use the hooked side to swing at the head.You could also improve the grip of the crowbar just by wrapping anything that increases friction around it, You could even sharpen the ends of the crowbar to cut or penetrate farther.You also could attach a strap to the crowbar so if you get it stuck on something, or get startled, You can pull it out and you couldn't drop your crowbar.
The government should give marijuana to children.

Contention 1: Physical effects.1) Marijuana's immediant effects.Tuf lists why mary jane is awesome as f*ck. All those physical effects are what makes it gooooood. 2) CancerTheres no evidence that says mary causes cancer. Ayn rand (awesome and sexy women) disproved most of the studies . Correleation no equal causation. Read Ayn Rand she smoked all day everyday and got cancer but it was unrealted.3) mental healthOhhhhhhhhh. Tuf say 5 joins make you smart. The reason why heavy users didnt score as high was because they didnt start smoking at an early age. Tuf say 5 joints a week do 5 joints a week everyday allday and that means you become smart. Tuf destroied himself and proved me,-The drug can affect more than your physical health. Studies in Australia in 2008 linked years of heavy marijuana use to brain abnormalities.But there good brain abnormailites. Like geniusness is a brain abnormality but it makes it good for you- Marijuana changes the structure of sperm cells, deforming them. Thus even small amounts of marijuana can cause temporary sterility in men.So? Its not forever. This means you can have sex while smoking pot. More reasons to smoke pot! Teen pregancy will go down. THere will be smokeing and humping all around!- Over the last ten years, many children of marijuana users have been born with reduced initiative and lessened abilities to concentrate and pursue life goals. Studies also suggest that prenatal (before birth) use of the drug may result in birth defects, mental abnormalities and increased risk of leukemia in children.Only if you smoke while your a prego. Dont be a prego and smoke. 1. Chilling them outIt doesn't harm there health. So yes its a good reasonThe supernany link has nothing to do with pot so I didn't read it. Im sure its wrong anyway.2. Children are stupidOHHHHH LOLOLLOLOLOOL. So children created the atom bomb? CHildren created physics? Children made science? Nope kids are dumb they poo themselves. Children dont even know how to do IQ test. CHildren are stupid and your link is an atheist link thats evil3. Baby sitter stressCon says this is a good idea.4. Taking it from the mexicans Ohhh tuf thinks charity is bad! Charity of weed is good. Mary should be legal for adults too, bt they shouldnt smoke it as much as kids because they have to do stuff.5. Kids look cool Are you kiddin? Sometimes coolness overrides health! That kid looks so cool! It doesnt hurt health anyway! Kids cant look cool without drugs come on! 6. Less bulliesIt will calm bullies overall even when they not high. Mary does calm the neves. Wheers your source? Refer madness? Look at stoners they on couch eating chips! Not shooting no one!7. Short lifeKids would love it! Sometimes you have to force something on someone before they love it. Like rape. Not in all cases does the women love it but sometimes it starts out as rape and ends in a loving realtionship. Not always tho but sometimes. Mary j doesnt shorten lifealtimatly tuf sucked the d at rebutting. I won this for surely.
The government should give marijuana to children.

A man named Tuf has accepted my challenge. Poor poor bastard. He will lose1Children are really rambunkshous. THey wild. Some pot will chill them out right? Yes.2Children are often stupid. Pot will fix that up. Weed makes you smart (1 http://www.cannabisculture.com...)Children would do many great thngs if they smoked it up3Parents stress over baby sitters and stuff. Weed will make the children all stoned out no worry for parents.4Gorvenment takes lots of weed from mexicans. It would be a lot of good if they just instead of burning it give it to the kids. Giving stuff to children is good right? Charaity is a good thing right?5It makes kids look cool. Think about it. s://www.debate.org...; alt="" />Look me in the face and tell me this kid isnt cool as f*ck6If kids are stoned there will be less bully. Because bullies are to stoned theyll light up with other instead of lighting them up with guns. 7Children sometimes live a short life. Why not brighten it up with WeedI have made a good caseSMOKE IT UP s://www.debate.org...; alt="" /> s://www.debate.org...; alt="" />
Compulsion of parents to join some professional course curbs the talents of their children!

Thankyou for your valueable opinions on the topic of concern. I agree, that if Mr. Sachin tendulkar's parents would have forced him to join some professional course inspite of playing cricket, We might not be having a great Indian cricket team and its excellent aroma across the world. But, with due respect, i want to meantion over here, that every child who plays cricket, or consider cricket as his/her passion is not mr. Sachin tendulkar. Every child who dreams to be a entrepreneur and inventor , is not steve job. If you had read my above arguments carefully, then you would have noticed that i mentioned "children might confuse their mere hobbies with their passion" because of this they might make a wrong decision for their future. Parents, being experienced and mature enough help their children to make a wise decision and succeed in their life. Though it's good to think in terms of the interests of the child, parents certainly have a role to play in deciding the child's future. They're more experienced and capable of understanding the real traits of child and what could suit him or her best, considering the society, professional scope and his or her caliber. I eould wrap up my argument for now, by saying that, It is impossible for a child to take into consideration all the factors involved in adulthood. It is not possible for anyone to make educated decisions, when the issue is not completely understood. Understanding the expectations upon an adult, both financial and emotional, is not exactly obvious. There is no way that a child can grasp these expectations without the guidance of someone who knows and understands. Looking forward for my opponent's opinion on this. Thankyou!
Compulsion of parents to join some professional course curbs the talents of their children!

My Worthy Opponent, Let Me Ask You A Simple Question! If Sachin Tendulkar's Parents Had Forced Him To Take-Up Engineering or MBBS, Would We Be Having A 100 times 100 Century Score, Of course NOT! Would We Be Having Examples Like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg........Of coarse NOT!Robert Frost Clerly Describes in His Poem "The Road Not Taken", The Two Paths A Human Being Has-Either to Follow The CROWD or To Either Take Up Some Profession On Behalf of our Talent, Dedication and Skill!It's WRONG that parents Force Their Children to Take Some Professional Course!Thankyou!
Compulsion of parents to join some professional course curbs the talents of their children!

First of all, i would like to thank my opponent for bringing such an important issue of our society into light. Thankyou for your opinions on the topic of concern. Clearly, not every adult makes good choices, and often, adult choices are based on influences that may NOT be in a child's best interest. However, adults DO have the benefit of experience, and many times, that experience can offer perspective to a child who lacks experience. Forcing children to take a certain path is always a way to parent, yet leaves the child up for some serious rebellion. What the child thinks is the better option now may not be the better option when they are paying their bills and eventually raising a family of their own. Parents are a key feature in a child's success in life and although some people may disagree as it is the child's life to live, being the parents and having experience in life they may be the ones making the smarter long term. The experiences of our parents can contribute to our decision making and often do, as do our experiences affect our children. The idea that "parents want what's best for their children" provides a basis for this argument. See, some childrens may consider their sole hobby as a great talent in them, and may choose it as a profession. Because of lack of experience and a wide mindset they may make a wrong choice and suffer forever. Because In this case, failour is inevitable. I lement of some children take, of conseridering their parents thinking as 'a not mature enough' thinking.They need to know that parents thing is always laced with all the ingredients of life and expriences and will surely help them in long run. Thankyou.
Compulsion of parents to join some professional course curbs the talents of their children!

Yes, It's Absolutely True!A Child, born with a God-Gifted Talent, that NO AMOUNT of Education Gives to Anyone, is Suppressed and Forced to take Some Professional Course. His Talents, Skills, Dedication and Aims-ALL Get Sacrificed For One Such Professional Course!A Person is the one WHO has to face his future, face the competitions of his future. Parents must NOT Interfere in this Crucial Decision that Can Change His Life.Alas, he Would Not Succeed in The Professional Course he Has Been Forced to Take and In Future, He Would Be TOTALLY HELPLESS!
The charkha is relevant in the 21st century

Ah. Also, charkha signifies self reliance. Charkha and khadi were the twin weapons employed by Gandhi. So that was basically a 'fudge you' to British imperialists using India as a dumping ground. Self reliance is a pretty good lesson to keep in mind today, with our increasing CAD, raising concerns on our sustainability. A sign to develop our infrastructure, love our industries, reduce the dependence on foreign companies that are helping us in the short run, improving our fundamentals.
The charkha is relevant in the 21st century

Thank you for initiating the debate. For people unfamiliar with the context of the debate, Charkha=spinning wheel. It holds a special significance in the Indian freedom struggle. It was a moral and political tool against the British imperialist class. It isn't really about the technology, as it is about the significance behind the brand. It is a symbol of non-violence, a symbol of rebelling without arms. It is a very powerful tool, something that has renewed importance in today's national scene.
Sex is good for health

By the very nature of an act, like sex, there will be people who do not partake in this act for uncontrollable reasons such as not having anyone to do it with. This can lead to many virgins having sleepless nights, bad cardiovascular health, pain, and low testosterone. So sex, or lacktherof, does more harm then good.And we all know babies come from potato farms anyways so whats the point? I prefer my penis on, sir. All three of them.(Sorry for joking but I honestly thought this debate was a joke, because if its not your making this debate awfully easy for yourself. Of course sex is good for you!)
Sex is good for health

(My previous argument was clear and straight to the point.) Sex energy is the strongest energy a man or woman can create within our bodies[1]. The 9 benefits of sex are :- 1) Improves cardiovascular health 2) Increases immunity 3) Reduces stress 4) Relieves pain 5) Promotes longevity 6) Increases blood circulation 7) You sleep better 8) Improves overall fitness 9) Increases levels of Testosterone and Oestrogen [2] I dont agree with your argument that too much sex causes penis fall off. Penis fall off occurs due to some bad habits like taking excess alcohol, smoking etc. Stress is also an important factor that causes penis fall off. STDs can be prevented if proper care is taken before sex by talking to your sex partner and acting accordingly. Sex after the age of 18 doesn't guarantee farting milk at every occasion.

Sex is good for health

(because of the vagueness I am assuming this is a joke)Sex is not good for you, at all. According to my local church, "everytime you have sex demons shorten your life by seven years and kill 18 puppies." Also, if you have sex to much than you might run out of semen, according to this source [1], your penis will also fall off. Also if you have sex you have to stick your privates into another girls belly button which could lead to many diseases, like BBS (bell buttons sickness)Furthermore, if you have sex after the age of 18 it will make you fart milk.

Legalization Of Marijuana

There are clear reasons for opposing this notion. While it seems contradictory that alcohol is legal and marijuana is not, that is not at issue in this debate and does not serve as a reason to affirm. THE VIEW OF THE CON is that marijuana should be decriminalized but not legalized. In the end, given the status quo, legalization would represent approval of marijuana at a governmental level. Decriminalization is better to resolve the harms of the status quo without the appearance of approval.
Legalization Of Marijuana

Personally, I am, much like the Pro, 100% for the legalization of marijuana. But I feel like this will be an interesting debate regardless. Just for clarification purposes, can we both assume that the resolution would be RESOLVED: The United States Federal Government should legalize marijuana. I hope that wording of the resolution is acceptable, if not, we can address it in the comments, but I fee like that wording gives the most ground for both individual in the debate. Good luck!
Middle class or rich women who get abortions past their first trimester are selfish(see rules below)

Provided that semantics are common on this site, I will provide a list of rules to prevent anyone from twisting this debate to their advantage. 1. Violation of rules 2-7 and rules 8-10 will result in forfeiture. 2. The resolution is this: "Middle class or rich women who get abortions past their first trimester are selfish". Pro nor Con may not change or attempt to change this resolution. 3. This is the definition of selfish that me and my opponent will use for this debate. (Of a person, action, or motive) "Lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one"s own personal profit or pleasure". Pro nor Con may not change or attempt to change this definition. 4. NO SEMANTICS ALLOWED. (With the exception of rule 11). 5. No k's. 6. It is implied that women who get abortions during their first trimester or use birth control to prevent pregnancy are not selfish. Ignoring this will result in immediate forfeiture. 7. Grammar errors occurring in round 1 will not count (provided I can read your spelling of ("I accept"). 8. Contentions are optional. (This is because organizing debates takes time, and I'm busy.) 9. Colloquial language is allowed (to a point. Don't push it.) 10. This is a serious debate. No trolling is allowed, although some jokes are permitted. 11. IT IS ENTIRELY UP TO ME TO INTERPRET THESE RULES. 12. HAVE FUN XPDDDDDPPPPP:):):333333333
Middle class or rich women who get abortions past their first trimester are selfish(see rules below)

It does not matter if you are having a hard time following my arguement, which i doubt because i didnt put the period at the end of a sentence, its the voters choice.1. Whether it is anecdotal or not its a source. You have given NO source. Biased source trumps no source. If the voters voted on sources they would either vote for me or tie because you have given nothing to back up your claims except for R2And guess what that source was. Lifenews. com. Life news conservative website that wants to overturn abortion and give women no choice at all. How is that biased at all? Joking aside my sources give accounts of women whose boyfriends left them which indicates that men DO leave women while they are pregnant. 2. Yes you did lose the conduct point. I wanted you to read the sources. .. .. so that you would understand that their are women out there that have had their boyfriends leave them. 3) and 4) Nothing in any of your 11 rules states that i need to show BoP. BoP is yours unless you state other wise in your rules. You are making the claim and my job is to refute it. Unless of course you state otherwise in your r1 rulesI have no broken any of your 11 rules so you cannot say that ive somehow broken them. And in response to the question. No. I dont think its selfish. Some might but your generalizing an entire population of women whose problems you dont knowThroughout this debate you have provided no sources to effictivley claim that having an abortion in the 2nd or 3rd trimester is selfish. The non-sourced claims have been rebutted by me.
Middle class or rich women who get abortions past their first trimester are selfish(see rules below)

Actually grammar and puncuation is not a voting decider. The only scenario where grammar or puncuation is used as a voting factor is if the arguement is so illegible that the voter has a hard time following." This is untrue. Also, for the record, I AM having a hard time following what you are saying. On top of this, you made three errors just in your last statement. You really need to proofread your arguments. 1. From what I can see, this is anecdotal evidence, not backed by any sort of statistical evidence whatsoever. And "allnurses.com"? I know I might lose the conduct point for this but LMAO! I literally couldn't think of a less credible source if I tried! Voters, please keep this in mind when you vote for the winner of this debate. 2. ARE YOU FVCKING KIDDING ME?! BOTH OF THESE SOURCES ARE SKETCHY AS HELL, AND THEY'RE BOTH FVCKING BLOG POSTS, WRITTEN BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO EVIDENCE OF ANY KIND TO BACK UP THEIR BULLSHlT OPINIONS! By this point, I've definitely lost the conduct point. But seriously, kid, are you in fvcking elementary school? Did you think I wouldn't read your sources? Voters, please look at his sources and tell me if they are credible in any way, shape, or form. Jesus, I might have gotten a virus from those sketchy sites... 3 and 4. 12% of abortions are health related, yes. BoP being shared is standard for most debates though, as I said before. Whatever. It doesn't even matter, because all 10 of my rules can be interpreted by me. I can make an argument that you broke all of them, and that's all I need to win this debate anyways. Not that I care, because I only care about having my opinions challenged, and you're not doing this, Con. Look at it this way: If there are no heath concerns, than are the women who kill their own DEVELOPED fetuses selfish? If a woman doesn't realize she is pregnant until the second trimester, than she should woman up and have the baby like a non egotistical sociopath killer of a mother. This will not ruin her career, and it CERTAINLY won't ruin her life. I'll give you ONE MORE CHANCE to effectively challenge my arguments, and then I'm done.
Middle class or rich women who get abortions past their first trimester are selfish(see rules below)

Before i rebutt my opponents claims i would like to address something he saidFirst of all, you should add periods at the end of your sentences. I'm not trying to be rude, but your response had many errors in punctuation. It is important to consider this especially since grammar is an important indicator of who wins debates on most websites including this oneActually grammar and puncuation is not a voting decider. The only scenario where grammar or puncuation is used as a voting factor is if the arguement is so illegible that the voter has a hard time following.Just wanted to get that out of the way1) Yes it does have something to do with abortion past the first trimester because many times women dont know they are carryinghttp://allnurses.com...Many times women just believe they are overweight. Once the fetus starts to develop then the signature bulge will start to show but by that time they could be in the second trimester 2) Again women dont always find out they are pregnant immediatley at the first trimester. You provide no sources that men dont usually leave their women because they find out they are pregnant.http://www.apsense.com...http://www.articlesbase.com...But i do......3) and 4) You still call them selfish because many of them are in the second and third trimester according to your own arguement. Also BoP is not shared unless you say it is. You made a statement and my only job is to refute your claims. Nothing in your R1 rules states that i need to somehow explain why it isnt selfish.My conclusion is not flawed because- Exactly- people make mistakes (They dont realize they are pregnant until 2nd trimester)Sources:http://allnurses.com...http://www.apsense.com...http://www.articlesbase.com...
