American schools were designed off of jail.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that American schools are referring to American public schools. 1. School food is pretty much the same as prison food maybe a little bit worse. Even though prison food is at the cost rate of $2.62 per prisoner and students in American schools have the food cost about $2.68 per student. But this 6 cent difference doesn't mean anything if prisoner are fed more nutritious food than students. Students are getting less essential vitamins and mineral than prisoners, students being only served just half a cup of fruit or vegetables, compared with a prisoners' half cup plus one piece of fruit. They are also given less meat - a maximum of two ounces - while prisoners get three or four. 2. The head counts in prison are like the attendance checks that the teachers have to do in the morning. To make sure that there isn't any prisoners/students missing or if they don't make it to the counting place/classroom in time they will receive disciplinary action. For prisoners it can be physical punishment, punitive segregation, losing visitation privileges, restricting visitation privileges, monetary restitution, water deprivation, reducing shower privileges and extending sentences. For students repeated tardies or absents without an excuse can result in email home, conference between teacher and parent, or detention. 3. The prison warden and the principal of the school has similar jobs. A prison warden seeks to maintain the fair and safe operation of the prison at all times. He or she enforces rules, regulations, policies and laws regarding incarceration and employee conduct, and maintains records of infractions by staff or inmates. The warden also coordinates the response during crisis situations, such as an emergency, a riot or a natural disaster. The principal does the same except for he or she does this for a school. Also in order to be a warden or a principal it is required for you to have some sort of experience and a bachelor's degree. 4. Like in prison there is a black market like thing in schools. In prison, prisoners use a complex barter system. Prisoners who want something that can't be purchased at the commissary, such as better books, illegal drugs, nicer clothes or a weapon might trade cigarettes, commissary stamps or personal protection from other inmates to get what they want. These outside items might be smuggled in by visiting relatives or guards who make their own profit from the black market. In some cases, inmates have produced bootleg alcohol or illegal drugs inside the prison itself. Every since the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act was passed kids in schools in America kids have been smuggling in candy, soft drinks, and like objects to school trading with things such as pieces of paper with monetary value and can affect your grade for certain teachers or with things like homework answers. As you can see from my arguments it obvious that American schools were based off of jail. Thank you and please vote for Pro.

God is not great and most likely doesn't exist

"Greatness and lack of greatness comes from a persons personality and particular mindset, which is related to neuroscience, not religion."I agree 100%. However, the problem for you is that in order for you to establish that God is not great, you would have to show that there is a God who is not great. "God" cannot be great, if there is no "God" to not be great! That would be like me saying "the beer I drank today was not great", when there was no beer that I drank today. The truth of my statement would be literally impossible logically. However, the other part of the resolution completely contradicts the first part, as you are also trying to show that God most likely does not exist. Your resolution is basically split into two parts:(i) God is not great(ii) God most likely does not existHowever, as I showed, what Pro is inadvertently saying is:(i) God exists, and is not great(ii) God most likely does not existThe "and is not great" is trivial to the contradiction I am proving that Pro is putting forward, so what Pro is essentially saying, even if he does not realize it, is:(i) God exists(ii) God most likely does not existHowever, if (i) is true, then it follows that (ii) is false. If (ii) is true, then (i) could still be true (even if it is most likely that God does not exist, God could still exist as it is not for certain). The issue is that Pro actually has to meet his burden on (i) and (ii)! However, this means his arguments are doomed to fail. If he argues for (i), then that lessons the likelihood of (ii) being true, if he argues for (ii), then it lesson's the likelihood of (i) being true. If he argues for both (i) and (ii), then his arguments are going to be contradictory. It would be illogical to accept both of his arguments for (i) and (ii) because if they both succeed, then it leads to the contradiction below:Pro has succeeded at showing that God most likely exists or exists, and that God most likely doesn't exist.However, that would be like someone showing that a perfectly spherical cube can plop in my hand right now. The argument fails by requirement logically, as we already know the conclusion has to be false. "And if god is real then why did he make certain people great and certain people not great?"I don't think God is real, I think the resolution is contradictory and false by necessity. "Surely that is truly unfair to handpick people to be good and just toss the rest aside"Agreed.
Truth is OBJECTIVE

Well... Perhaps we don't disagree as much as I'd hoped my challenger would... The topic is hopefully the subjectivity vs. objectivity of truth, in which case, you would argue subjective. However I would also willingly argue against the progressive philosophy. Your thinking society's technological advancements have not just made us more stupid and slothful than we otherwise would be, but have increased our quality of life by at least one inch, only qualifies you to be the challenger.
Truth is OBJECTIVE

Well I argue that society as whole is progressed atleast 1 inch from the year 1917. My first point would be internet. We can converse stuff like this, which would be otherwise extremely hard as I probably don't live anywhere near where you are or the readers of this post are. So for having an some form of conversation is atleast a step on road of progression. I could point many ways how technology has helped to reduce mortality (accessibility of good drinking water, healthcare treatments like penicillin, and so forth) but you must have some spesific intentions on your mind to start debate like this, don't you? Well how about world literature rate? better than ever! also we have an better access to that literature. How about great scientist like Einstein? I'm not arguing that world is better from the dawn of time, but from the year 1917. Which was time of terrible world war just as in the same time the spanish flu was raving. On politics and humanity I'm agreeing that we are not that different maybe even some setbacks happened! But with great inventions like electric drill, internet and so forth the whole humanity is progressed from the year 1917 that 1 inch. So basically what I'm saying that changes for dying horrible death in war or plague is plundered. Also Infant deaths are going down so there is higher change to be born too. but tell me what you have in mind, regards challenger.
Barack Obama will win the Iowa caucuses later today on the Democratic side.

Although I support Hillary, I actually think Obama will win the caucuses in Iowa, which start roughly 14 hours from now. I waited until now to make this prediction because it has been a very close race, but I think the latest indications are enough to predict a triumph for Obama. My best piece of evidence is the latest Des Moines Register poll, which has Obama leading 32 to 25 (Clinton) and 24 (Edwards). The Register poll strikes an air of respectability and historical accuracy, having correctly predicted many prior races. Independents, a group strongly inclined towards Obama, will form a higher share of the caucus participants on the Democratic side than ever before. They are the ones likely to give Obama the edge since registered Democrats prefer Hillary by a considerable margin. In the last few days, Obama's crowds have grown noticeably larger, a good sign that the campaign has momentum. On the other hand, crowds at events by Hillary or Edwards show no relevant shifts. All three campaigns boast terrific organizations - Obama should not have a problem turning out his core supporters. Due to the above reasons, I predict a victory for Obama. If you think otherwise and are willing to argue your viewpoint, let's have at it. The wonderful thing about this debate is that the winner will be beyond doubt after tomorrow!
The positive review [from a poetry site] of this poem Gana Chut is very accurate

I agree with this review- from a poetry site -of this poem Gana Chut I regard it as very accurate http://www.scribd.com... to see review http://www.wattpad.com... quote "That was shockingly amazing! I love the Irony between the name ....and the imagery of the seduction. The poem was transportive, I felt that I was there in the room with the lovers, experiencing the awe of the man as he worshipped the wonder of the woman's sex. Good work and very unique writing.
The positive review [from a poetry site] of this poem Gana Chut is very accurate

con has gone into an emotional rant about things not relevant to the post ie is the positive review is accurate but after all his ranting it comes down to this con says "Overall I find the poem unnecessarily vulgar. That is my subjective opinion and the opinion of many others if we look at your "times viewed" and compare it to the number of people who liked it enough to give it a "vote". note "Overall I find the poem unnecessarily vulgar" but that has nothing to do with the argument I claim ie the positive review is accurate the poem may be vulgar but that has nothing to do with the claim the positive review is accurate ie "quote "That was shockingly amazing! I love the Irony between the name ....and the imagery of the seduction. The poem was transportive, I felt that I was there in the room with the lovers, experiencing the awe of the man as he worshipped the wonder of the woman's sex. Good work and very unique writing." con is allowed to have his subjective opinion but just saying the poem is vulgar does refute my claim that the positive review is accurate thus con has not shown why he has taken the con position and refuted my claim all he has said is the poem is vulgar
The positive review [from a poetry site] of this poem Gana Chut is very accurate

I think it is worth noting that you have failed to address any of my other points- and the point that you attempted to address actually hasn't been answered at all. I am not saying that the opinions of teenagers and preteens are of no account. I will say that their opinion of what writing deserves merit and which writing does not should not be used as a reliable standard. I think that based on sales, a majority of teen females prefer Twilight to Phillip K. Dick. I think that even though the comparisons of two books has to be made from a subjective viewpoint- Do Robots Dream of Electric Sheep? Is superior to Twilight in many ways. Therefore teenagers might not be a reliable judge of what is good and what is not. Furthermore, you are out of luck if you want to try to prove that your writing is objectively "amazing." Personally I felt something a bit more like disgust, which might be a more normative response to a poem that refers to a woman's genitals as "piss flaps." Overall I find the poem unnecessarily vulgar. That is my subjective opinion and the opinion of many others if we look at your "times viewed" and compare it to the number of people who liked it enough to give it a "vote". I think that you have already lost this debate- and while I respect your desire to discuss poetry and other writing forms, I think that debate.org is perhaps the wrong place to do it since it deals more with objective truths than subjective opinions. There are plenty of writing communities and forums out there where these questions would fit better I think.
The positive review [from a poetry site] of this poem Gana Chut is very accurate

con says "3. The "review" that you quote is actually just a comment posted on Wattpad, a site whose main demographic group is teenagers and preteens." What are saying the likes of teens and preteens have no value if you are then how can you explain the success of the harry potter series of books-are you saying harry potter books are rubbish because teens and preteens them
The positive review [from a poetry site] of this poem Gana Chut is very accurate

I will assume that since you are opening this up to pro-con debate that you are looking for criticism. That is fine- I think conversations about poetry are a good thing, even if this entire debate is completely subjective. Since I am the con it is my just to subjectively criticize you. 1. The poetry as it is placed on the scribd page is almost completely unreadable because you have placed low quality images of rugs behind the text which contrasts poorly with the black text. I also question whether or not you own the copyright to said rug images which might be an infringement of copyright policy and grounds for having the work removed. 2. The refrain "piss flaps" which is punctuated repeatedly by references of having one's partner urinate on them is frankly disgusting to anyone who is not interested in water sports. The whole poem seems to be obsessed with female genitalia with very little scope for anything else like the location or the emotional attitude or circumstances of the two lovers aside from their lust. 3. The "review" that you quote is actually just a comment posted on Wattpad, a site whose main demographic group is teenagers and preteens. The content of your poem could possibly cross from erotic into pornographic, making me question whether or not this work constitutes a violation of their terms of service. 4. All remarks here are subjective regarding the truthfulness of a comment given on a poem. I believe that I have successfully demonstrated a counter to that.
Bog roll is better and more useful than tractors.

Bog roll is cheaper, you can use it as many times as you like, it doesn't have country folk bum germs on (unlike tractor seats), you get lots of it, you can put it up your bum, and it is much more fun because you can just kick it in the air and then it goes everywhere and it is l very fun! I love it when that happens.Even without tractors, we could still experience the fun of bog roll!You can have bog roll parties and they are super fun!Bog roll is also good for clothes. Not just mummy costumes at Halloween, but everyday clothes for all times of the year. All of my clothes are made of bog roll but none are made of tractors.Plus, you can sleep on it (used or unused) and you will be very comfy.Thank you.
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Let's just face it, it's inhumane to deport a human being for wanting a better life either by escaping dangerous situations or needing a job that can pay the bills when their previous country couldn't provide it. No matter if they came into the country legally or illegally. In the U.S there was over 11.3 million undocumented citizens were found, a 3.4% of the total population, and these human beings have lived in the U.S for more than ten years (66% of illegal immigrants) making it their home... Their lives... Deporting undocumented immigrants not only affects their live but ours as well. To deport and keep out these immigrants would cost the country at least 1.6 trillion Euros or 1.8 trillion Dollars, causing taxes to increase more and more. Not only will this affect everyone, but foster care will have a large increase as well. Over five thousand children in the foster care system have undocumented parents that were deported or detained, being that every 1 in 4 deportation cases result in U.S citizen child losing a parent or parents. http://immigrationimpact.com... http://www.pewresearch.org... http://www.independent.co.uk...
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Many people believe that ILLEGAL immigrants shouldn't be deported from the US, however, I believe there are many valid reasons to deport them. Illegal immigration has been a hot issue in the US since the time of the Bush Administration and has caused many out-roars from the LEGAL immigrants and US citizens. I strongly believe that the US needs to do something about the 11 million ILLEGAL immigrants who are taking away jobs from the US economy in the every narrowing job market. Many people believe that ILLEGAL immigrants shouldn't be deported from the US, however, I believe there are many valid reasons to deport them. I believe that we should deport ILLEGAL immigrants because they cause trouble, they take jobs and they are an economic burden on the US citizens.
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Finally, Yes it might not be moral to deport the ILLEGAL immigrants in the country, however, even if they buy groceries you forget that food is tax-free in the majority of places that they live. This includes - according to https://blog.taxjar.com... - California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Florida which have a very high majority of illegal Mexican immigrants. Never mind the fact that according to http://immigration.procon.org...; Illegal immigrants cost $11.64 billion dollars worth of tax money, with California supplying almost $4 billion dollars alone. This is not good as not only do these immigrants enter illegally, but they cause an economic burden to the US. As well as this the money that they contribute to the US economy comes from their employers and not them directly as most of the time the ILLEGAL Immigrants work under the table and don't pay taxes. The 5 billion dollars worth of taxes that they have collected they have collected form the states not the Illegal Immigrants directly - even if they do have to pay rent taxes which contribute to the economy in a sort - many do get welfare from the US due to having someone in their family being a US citizen which is abuse of the welfare system. may I add this makes refunding it completely and utterly illogical. Overall, I believe that the US should deport 11 million ILLEGAL immigrants currently in the US. Not only would this make the education levels higher and better for the US citizens as previously stated, but they would also have more jobs in the very competitive US market as even though they might be low paying jobs they still would contribute to the US citizen or LEGAL migrants, without having to pay extra taxes from their earnings as the employer does this and not the ILLEGAL Immigrant directly.
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Not only does deporting go against the morals of humanity, but the majority of illegal immigrants may not be documented by they do pay taxes; by buying groceries, paying rent or buying a home, etc. Doing this adds towards the security of the United States, in fact seventy-two percent of all undocumented migrants pay taxes- which the majority of goes towards the army- as other migrants just pay taxes while paying for stuff, giving 4.9 billion USD each year towards the government who eventually kicks them out and doesn't refund. So saying that illegals don't do anything good for our country is not only false but is an insult to immigrants and the fundamentals of how the government is able to function. *The majority of information used are credited sources*
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Second, Illegal immigrants in the US take jobs from the citizens and legal immigrants in that country. It has been documented accoriding to http://immigration.procon.org...; that many illegal immigrants in the US have taken many jobs from US citizens, for example according to the following sources nearly 10% of the US jobs have been taking by the illegal immigrants in the US. This has caused many citizens to lose jobs to cheaper labor forces of the illegal migrants not only in low paying but also some high skilled jobs. Now even if they are jobs no US citizen wants like gardening or cleaning, they still should be available first to the US citizen or legal migrant before they are given to Illegal Immigrants. Illegal immigrants also usually work under the table witch means that the employer doesn't need to provide insurance or retirment plan for the workers which might not be illegal however according to http://employment-law.freeadvice.com...; employers should provide these in order to have legal workers and not illegal ones.
Why the US should deport Illegal Immigrants

Having illegal immigrants in the U.S not only improves the economy-by more tax dollars-but as well as the majority of low-skilled jobs are undocumented immigrants, and these jobs are needed by the country but a low percentage doesn't want. Low-skilled jobs include: farming, janitor, plumber, etc. Eighty-three million American citizens rather have high-skilled and medium-skilled jobs than anything else, it is just a part of the culture now to be an astronaut, doctor, lawyer when you grow up. And studies show that employed illegal immigrants not only improves wages for American citizens and documented immigrants, but they are add to the diverse culture by bringing in new ideas, topics, and solutions. The United States of America originated from countries and their citizens collaborating together, or working together for independence from the British. So if we deport all immigrants it would include everyone except Native Americans, since the majority of the country's population has ancestors who are immigrants. https://www.nytimes.com... http://www.pewsocialtrends.org...
