Communism Is A Superior System To Capitalism

Capitalism seems to be seen as the best mode of the production of goods and services. And it has its benefits- people exchange work for money, money for goods, which are made from work. It boosts business and promotes a strong economy while giving wealth to those who work hardest. In the United States, and nations that follow behind its system of economics and aim to adopt their ideals, Capitalism is what is essential in order to: Keep citizens free to do as they wish without the government controlling their actions, their goods, or their services. Maintain a well balanced economy that promotes growth and wealth among the citizens. But upon reflection, Communism would be a better fit to maintain both of these ideals. This debate will be focusing on why Communism or Capitalism would be the superior economic systems on defending, preserving, and upholding these rights for the citizens. Please keep your arguments relevant to these main points. You may add new points as they connect with the topic, but try not to make your argument/point stray too far from the original topic. To go over my main points quickly, Communism liberates workers from the oppressive tendencies of the companies they work for, prevents one individual from gaining too much and another from having too little, and allows for citizens to actually explore their wants in life, allowing them to work because they want to not to maintain a wage, forcing them to work because they have to. Second is that Capitalism does have a system that allows for an economy and work to be made progressively and at a proactive rate, but ultimately the market can crash as quickly as it has been built up, as can be seen in many previous historical events in the United States (i.e. The Great Depression) and other countries as well (i.e. The Hyperinflation that occurred in Germany which lead to the rise of the Nazis into power). Not to mention the fact that while this system promotes individual wealth and prosperity, the rich only get richer while the poor continually get poorer, which will lead to a massive divide in class which will lead to unions and boycotts occurring, which will also damage the economy (as well as interfere and reduce citizens' freedoms). Communism eliminates all these possibilities from happening by establishing a controlled economy so that no one industry will become to powerful, which is ultimately the goal of Capitalism, but ironically, also its demise. Now, I have said this about Communism, but I'm sure there are those who also would like to have their say and defend Capitalism. Please leave your arguments below and enjoy the debate!
Why smoking is not so bad

Well true it is bad for your health, but if you choose not to smoke you don't have to worry about it and if you don't want to be around those who smoke, you don't have to hang with them, true people die from smoking, but it was their choice to smoke in the first place. that's why smoking is not so bad because it all has to do with choice (except for those whose parents smoke and they don't have a choice).
Why smoking is not so bad

Yes smoking is bad, I have tried it once. But also with the rate of smoking, it is beginning to cause more and more people to be born with asthma and other heart or lung defects. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S., causing over 438,000 deaths per year. How could people smoke knowing that they are causing their own deaths and possibly causing others their own death, do they think of their families and how they would feel if they were to die. Every time you take a puff it is slowly poisoning your body by taking the very oxygen that we breath and adding deadly chemicals to it. These are what are in the cigarettes, Arsenic, lead, tar"" these are just few of more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke. I know what it is like to be feel so stressed out and helpless, but I know not to go to smoking to relieve myself. people go broke half the time from buying some smokes and it is not good because some of them have kids that they can't take care of or refuse to because they are so addicted to smoking. Some kids learn from it or they become what their parents were. http://www.lung.org...
Why smoking is not so bad

Smoking is not bad enough to cause people to riot, get angry, and cause a big fuss. It is not because I smoke, because I don't, but because if someone wants to smoke it's not your business (unless its in your household and you're against it) smoking does not cause the body to break down like the commercials portray it unless you smoke a whole bunch of cigarettes a day, but not many people smoke that much so why get so roused about it?
Why smoking is not so bad

if you look at it this way, you might understand better. What are cigarettes? They are little small sticks stuffed with addictive chemicals, so when they smoke they can't stop. Cigarettes are bad but smoking is not because not only do you have a choice to take one and kill yourself by lighting it, but you also can stop the chemicals from entering your body by not breathing it in. Have you ever heard the expression "the gun doesn't shoot, the shooter does"? its quit like that. It is you who is killing yourself by taking the cigarette, and after that its the cigarette that is killing you, but smoking itself is not that bad, because its you who inhaled it and not the cigarette that decided to poison your lungs.
Why smoking is not so bad

True, it can lead to aggression, peer pressure, and death but, like I said smoking has to do mostly with choice. If your friends smoke and you feel pressured it is your choice to tell them "hey I don't want a cigarette quit asking" or "yeah sure let me try" it is all choice. If you feel that pressured around your friends it is your choice to find a different posse, or stick with those kids who keep trying to pressure you into smoking. this is why smoking is not as bad as people say because, whether you like it or not, whether you want to do it or not, is your choice-it is not really forced on you.
Satan's Rap Sheet vs God's

Although I don't feel that personal pleas of a religious nature belong in a debate, I respect the fact that you have your own style and leave it to the voters to determine its merit. REBUTTALS"God's actions. .. were contingent on His own character. .. "If Con believes this, then Con believes that it is in God's character to lie and deceive. If it is in God's character to lie and deceive, why does God claim to hate lying? Why does God condemn liars, if they are only following his example? "If we look at things assuming God can be blamed. .. "I am not assuming anything. I am only taking God at his word, and God said he hates lying. Is it wrong for me to expect a perfect God to be consistent? ". .. God gave him what he had coming and what he deserved. .. "I am not questioning what any person "deserves". I am simply asking why God would spread lies and deceit after strongly declaring his hatred for lying. "The things God hates are flaws in mankind. "Can something be considered a flaw if God himself possesses it? Is Con saying that God only hates lying when it's someone else doing it, but it's perfectly fine if he does it? How is that a consistent example of righteousness and holiness? How can we hope to emulate him if he is not consistent? "For him to put you to death, and you know you are being put to death, is not murder, it is not shedding innocent blood. "Infants do not know they are being "put to death", much less why. ". .. a baby who dies goes to heaven because it has not attained the ability to reason. .. "This justifies the shedding of their innocent blood? Not only could this be used as an argument for any type of infanticide or abortion, it does not explain why God would cause and order the shedding of innocent blood while claiming to hate the act. Does God hate the shedding of innocent blood, or does he want us to slaughter babies and send them to heaven? His example is inconsistent. "He is just in punishing people however he sees fit. "I am not questioning this. However, when God describes what he "sees fit" one way, and then acts another way, we are left dealing with the conflict. If God is perfect, how can he contradict himself? He can't. It is a paradox. "You can't take away God's right to rule over you. "I am not debating whether God has a "right" to rule over me. I am debating whether God has violated his own standards, and thereby sinned. ConclusionI believe that I have sufficiently shown that God has sinned by his own definition, and that he has sinned more often than Satan, according to Biblically recorded events. My opponent has not offered events of Satan sinning, but has instead elected to spend his time attempting to prove that God can not sin. I do not believe that my opponent's arguments have been sufficient, as I have shown in my own rebuttals. I would ask that Con please remember that the final round is for rebuttals and closing only, and no new arguments may be introduced. I hope this debate has been interesting and informative for all. Thank you, voters, for your fair and honest consideration.
Satan's Rap Sheet vs God's

God's actions regarding Ahab and Micaiah were contingent on His own character, not Ahab's character. God acted agaisnt Ahab in accordance with His own character which is blameless. If we look at things assuming God can be blamed, we will misunderstand things and not assign blame where it belongs and not understand the character of God. Ahad orchestrated his own downfall, God gave him rope and he hanged himself with it. Ahad did not want the truth, and God finally gave up on Ahab and let him fall in his own pride, believing the lies he wanted to believe so God gave him what he had coming and what he deserved, a fatal fall in battle. The things God hates are flaws in mankind. For Him to put you to death, and you know you are being put to death, is not murder, it is not shedding innocent blood. We all have death in our genes from the moment of conception, and a baby who dies goes to heaven because it has not attained the ability to reason so it could ask for mercy. God is just. I do not justfy Him. He is self-justified. He created me. He is before I was. He does not need me to justify Himself. He is just in punishing people however he sees fit. If He decides your baby cannot be allowed to grow to maturity, that is His decision and He who created you has the right to end your life at any time in any way and He is not to blame. Again, all of the aruments trying to pin blame on God and find fault with God are ultimatley trying to make yourself equal to God so that God would have to be negated from having the right to send you to the fire of hell. You can't take away God's right to rule over you. You can't deny God's right to punish you. You can try, but God won't buy it. You cannot be godly if you are questioning God's authority. You cannot be righteous if you question God's authority or not. You have to be a new creature born of God's Spirt to be righteous, and then it's Him in you who is righteous. In your own right, you are defiled and cannot make yourself clean. Tryiing to paint God as unrighteous will not make an excuse for you. It won't work. It will only get you to one place in the end, and you don't want to go there and God does not want you to go there. You are hardening your heart against God and opening yourself up to be led by lying spirits the same as Ahab and you will be destroyed the same as Ahad was if you keep trying to blame God and deny His authority over you. You are intelligent and I thank you for keeping this debate civil. I hope you will stop trying to blame God for things when He cannot be blamed for anything bad and He is not at fault if anything good is withheld from you. God loves you and He wants you to be saved from death.
Satan's Rap Sheet vs God's

Resolution: According to Biblical events, Satan has committed fewer sins than Jehovah.DefinitionsBiblical Events: Biblically recorded instances of an action or thought. Does not include unsourced attacks on character. For example, "Bill stole an apple from Bob" is a recorded instance, while "Bill is a thief" is an attack on character.Satan: Jehovah's enemy and mankind's adversary. Also known as "The Devil".Sin: Offenses against Jehovah's law (Exodus 20:1-17) and things that Jehovah hates (Proverbs 6:16-19).Jehovah: The Christian god. Also known as "God".StructureRound 1: Pro Definitions and Rules/Con AcceptanceRound 2: Arguments and RebuttalsRound 3: Arguments and RebuttalsRound 4: Rebuttals and Closing (No new arguments)RulesViolation of structure or rules will be punished with an automatic victory for Pro.For Biblical references, only use the Protestant Bible, as it is the only one I am familiar with. No Apocrypha. I don't care which version of the Protestant Bible is referenced, as long as this does not devolve into a version debate. Therefore, if Con's entire argument hinges on a rare translation in his/her preferred version, Con had better be able to concisely and completely prove that version is the correct one in a private message to me. Otherwise, use versions that agree with the majority. Any version banter during the debate will result in an automatic victory for Pro.If anyone needs more clarification on the rules, or anything else, please ask in the comments or message me.I think that covers it.

Video games are ruining our young men

I have never said video games doesn't have a positive side to it. In fact, it does; such as improved coordination and improving as far as creating things. Of course video games have a positive effect but here we are looking at the negatives, and those negatives are prior to how women are treated. In a poll 80% of females experienced sexism and 35% experienced sexual harassment while playing online with males. A study is found that women are harassed 4 times more than men and that 63% of women had to deal with being called absurd names I cannot state in this debate. Many other insults had to do with the woman's weight or appearance, which is also a form of bullying. And let's not forget about the rape jokes. "I'll rape you!" is often chanted towards female players, and it is indeed an awful for of sexual harassment. Now, I know a lot of gamers use rape as in a term of beating someone in a game, but whether they are talking about beating the player or actually doing the crime itself, it's still a vile comment. Studies also show about 35% of women actually QUIT playing video games due to the sexual harassment, and the sexism itself. And about 9% quit playing a certain game forever due to the sexual harassment. Now I know you are going to point it out if I don't put it in this debate, but yes. About 15% of men have experienced sexual harassment while playing video games with others. And sadly, these men are being harassed by other men. Such as being called a faggot, and gay which are the most common insults used against male players. But let's not forget that women are harassed 4 times more than men. And that men harass other men, which is going against their own gender. Now like I said in round 1, not all men are guilty of this. Thankfully, there are male gamers who respect and who treat female gamers in a respectful and kind way. Now I say that this is ruining young men because these harassers are more likely to say these things in real life. Which is not healthy and can cause a problem in that persons life as far as bullying. At the end of the day 40% of females make up the gaming community, would we really want that percentage to go down because some men don't know how to act like respectful human beings? Let's defend out harassed female and male gamers and stand up to the bullies who do the harassing. Sources: http://www.vg247.com...
Video games are ruining our young men

Thank you for the opportunity to create a debate for a semi-topical issue within the gaming community.You really haven't set up a system for how the rounds are going to work, so here is what I will say._________________________________________________________________________________________________Reasons why video games are not ruining our young men and why your arguments are not powerful.1. You are not providing any sources for why video games are ruining young men. You are coming to a conclusion based on personal examples and just focusing on one aspect of notable sexism in society. Please cite sources that state directly that these games are destroying young men and are doing more bad than good.2. Speaking of which, there have been studies shown that video games actually do have a good side to them.[1]3. Kitchen and sandwich jokes were probably around way before video games, and it's just general sexism based on cultural adaptations and expectations where women did the cooking and cleaning while men went off to work. Video games had nothing to do with that and do not show any evidence that it is 'destroying' young male players.4. Sexual harrassment can occur anywhere, not just on video games. It can happen to any gender, not jst one.5. You say that these are 'young men' saying that stuff and 'they'll grow up and think these things are okay'. What evidence do you have that video game 'sexism' in younger people is going to make them grow up with such a mindset? Again, you are not providing any sources.6. You say that 'it could happen' with the gender roles switching, but not as much as male players. Again, what evidence do you have that proves your statement to be valid?I await your rebuttals....Sources:[1] http://www.huffingtonpost.com...
Video games are ruining our young men

How many times have I encountered a young man using horrid profanity, and using misogynistic language towards female players? It's so much it's uncountable. It happens too much and it is happening too much. I feel like these video games are turning boys even more perverted and misogynistic than they already are. Now, I'm not implying all boys are like this, for I know many male gamers who do not act this way towards video games. Male gamers chanting "Get back in the kitchen!" "Make me sandwich!" And let's not forget the sexual harassment, that is very common. And let's not also forget these are YOUNG men saying this, which mean's they are going to grow up and think these things are okay. Do you ever see female gamers act this way towards male gamers? Well it could happen but definitely not as much as the male players.
Anitfa Uses Facist Tactics To Further Totalitarian Marxism

Antifa claims to be against fascist ideologies, but it uses fascist and Black Bloc tactics to shut down classic liberals and conservatives. For example, at a "No To Marxism" protest in Berkley, Calfornia last year, Antifa counter-protestors beat the anti-Marxists with sticks and makeshift shields emblazoned with the words "No Hate". This shows a willingness to use violence to shut down ideas counter to those of Antifa, such as freedom of speech, capitalism, and internet freedom.Source ("No To Marxism" Washington Post):https://www.washingtonpost.com...Source("BreakPoint: Antifa vs Free Speech" BreakPoint): http://www.breakpoint.org...
Natural, Inalienable Rights do not Support the Practice of Abortion

Burden of proof is dependent upon Con's position; it is a rational deduction of Con's choice of slant/position.2. Ethical manner should be conducted with the objective of a debate; consider semantics, plagiarism, ad hominems, tangents, benefit of the doubt, etc.3. Accepting the debate is equivocal to accepting all the terms and conditions here; otherwise, clarify in comments. Voter Guidance1. Substantiated explanations are required.2. Use the voting rubric strictly; voting may be slanted heavily in breach of the terms and conditions here.3. If conduct and sources are to be favored, it must be based upon arguments in the last round which is the voting plea; convincing arguments and spelling and grammar are not necessarily solely rooted in the voting plea but throughout the debate.4. Spelling and grammar should be contested loosely. ResolutionNatural, inalienable rights do not support the practice of abortion. DefinitionsNatural, inalienable right - This is mutually exclusive with the term legal right; in fact, it forms a dichotomy with legal right. Thus, all rights are either legal or both natural and inalienable. Since the latter is both (a)natural and (b)inalienable it is also respectively both (a)existing because the holder of the right exists and (b)may never be separated from the holder of the right. This my be short-handed to either natural right or inalienable right for brevity. They are one and the same. Legal right - A right that is existing because the holder is governed and is bestowed at will by the government. These rights are not necessarily granted at birth and are also separable from the holder of the right. Person - A person is a human being regarded as an individual. This definition does not include or exclude by age or by fact of birth. Thus, it is not provable by definition alone that an unborn child/fetus is or is not a person. Support -If a is supported by b, then b justifies a. It leaves reason to believe so and it is affirmative. Abortion -An abortion is a deliberate termination of a person's pregnancy. For simplification, the pregnancy was initiated by consensual sex of persons of the age of consent. Concessions1. Natural, inalienable rights exist and their existence will not be contested.2. Persons hold natural, inalienable rights.3. The age of consent is irrelevant to this debate; thus, it will not be contested. AcceptanceI affirm the resolution which is natural, inalienable rights do not support the practice of abortion. I accept the terms and conditions.
