Rap Battle.

You say "I don't exist to you" Then why are you carrying through? Make up your mind Or turn on your hind when I come to town nations aren't hushed in disgust when I come to town they scream, like a child at a clown you put up thin walls to pretend you have balls but we both know that you ain't no pro you can be fake but that don't give you no cake all it gives you is an empty life Is that what you want? A life full of lies? give up your knife you can throw everything you've got at me, I have tough skin. because I know I have the advantage since rapists never win
Rap Battle.

I am a warlord, my armies armed with ideas and words. We have the intelligence of nerds. And the strengeth of herds. You see me rollin' in. Better get out before i srtike again. Hit after hit i through. For every argument you stike down two appear in it's place. Girl, i don't play around. When i roll into town. So don't frown when i come afer you. When i'm through you'll be more than black and blue. You'll be ash. I take people down with a crash. The big ones come down harder. The small ones are crushed. Nations are hushed. At the sound of my rush. To me everything is plush. Mush, dogs kill. Throw a line, it does the rest. I am becoming the best. I counter hard and fast. You? Thing of the past. To me you don't exist. There is something to rapping you missed. Skill of any kind. I really don't mind getting a free win. But writing this to attack you? Waste of time. Beating you is easy-peasy like squeezing a lime. Picking up a dime. Making a rhyme. So maybe you'll think next time. Before battling me.
Rap Battle.

You say you're an expert but you're just insecure rap is art rap is poetry rap doesn't have to rhyme even without it it can be sublime you think you're a god but let's review what you said you are a sexist, not a feminist said men did things better than women but it's to be expected insecure people lash out :/ don't worry, I'm not offended I know that most "big boys" have self respect unlike you And I'm not afraid You're all bark and no bite but I'm not saying this out of spite You're the one who threatened to rape me. That's not winning. That's being a psychopathic pedophile.
Rap Battle.

Well ok "girl", you just make me hurl. Those "bars" are a mess, get a ban. It looks like you threw it in the blender to make a swirl. So if you really want to rap, rap like a man. 2 1 3 2 2 3?

I'll find your weakness and make you scream. Agile like a flea. Power like a lazor beam. I my simple words have power like bullets. Only takes one in the right spot to take you down. You take on equals i take down the titans crushing their gullets. Boy, don't be a clown. I have no fear of death. I believe even if i die i go to heaven. So pull out your gun, you must be on meth. Cause regardless i just schooled you like if you were eleven

Gun Control

You know what? In this case, I'm going to dispense with kindness. My opponent has been online at least once since this debate started. He has obviously had the opportunity to see my argument. Whether he took that opportunity or not, I really don't care. There is no justification for ignoring his own debate completely. If vserena09 found himself strapped for time, then he should have posted a concession, a comment stating that there was a problem, or sent me an email. Con has chosen not to engage in his own debate, and that is to both of our detriments.
Anime Characters are more powerful than Cartoon Characters

If there was a war between them I think that one, anime characters would be greatly outnumbered and two, cartoon characters would win because anime although is slightly more realistic they would not have a specific important recourse. This is a power I believe only found in cartoon characters but NOT anime. The ability to create things by drawing them. I saw this in an episode of loony toons once and also other cartoons to which I forget the name (I don't have a great memory). This power allows them to draw anything they wish and make it real (in the cartoon). Anime are as you have said more realistic and therefore would not have this ability. Also in refutes I would like to mention that yes only anime grow old but because of this anime characters will die whilst cartoon characters will live on, not giving children the heartbreak of their favourite character's death. This is why I firmly believe that cartoon characters are more powerful than than anime characters. Thanks for reading this if you did and hope you agree.
Anime Characters are more powerful than Cartoon Characters

In terms of strength, anime characters are much more stronger, creative and better than regular cartoons. Their abilities range from being able to predict movements, traveling through different dimensions and immortality. There's an anime for everyone to watch, some are for kids, some for teens and there's even some for adults (one's that carry a lot of violent and graphic scenes). Unlike cartoon, anime's actually have a story they go by whereas when cartoon characters die in one episode they come back alive the next episode as if nothing happened. Characters in anime are perfectly designed and are assigned with so much awesome abilities.There many good cartoon characters but majority of them are pathetic in battles and cartoons always seem to be based around "The good guys" and always try to send out this "Good guys will never lose" message which is pathetic and very un-realistic. In anime you actually get to grow up with the character as the character ACTUALLY AGES whereas cartoon characters stay the exact some age for the entire series. Anime has greater stories, all episodes are connected and they will lead you from the beginning of the story to the end unlike Cartoons where most episodes aren't connected and doesn't really make sense. Anime is filled with different emotions making you love them even more sometimes the viewer is emotionally connected with the character making it 1000 times better... IN CONCLUSION!!! I think that cartoons stand no change against anime. If there was to be a war where the two kinds fight I KNOW that cartoon characters will be in pieces within minutes(or maybe even seconds).

Anime Characters are more powerful than Cartoon Characters

Anime characters are not as powerful as other cartoon characters because cartoon characters are many types of art rather than one. This means that they can use many different forums of expression where as anime characters are restricted to there own art. I will not argue that they have many detailed expressions but other cartoon characters could produce much more. I am watching cartoons in the background currently. None of them anime. Also I would like to refute that spiderman and batman ect. are not always drawn in anime. Also this this my first debate hope it goes well.
Anime Characters are more powerful than Cartoon Characters

I find your last points valid but there is something important you are forgetting. As you have already stated yourself, cartoon characters don't die whilst anime do. Also that bit you mentioned about destroying planets, I have already made an earlier point about drawing things to make them real. This means that not only could they create MILLIONS of clones too but also recreate their planets or even heal wounds by re-drawing themselves if they ever got wounds (when in cartoons they do get wounds and are magically better in the next scene I think this is how they do it). Secondly I would like to make this final refute. Cartoon characters include all the cartoon characters around the world, most of which I haven't even heard of. So please don't make assumptions on the cartoons we know; there are more around the world. Finally I would like to thank boglebros for this enjoyable debate and hope that I have managed to convince someone that cartoon characters are more powerful that anime characters. Thanks for reading.
Anime Characters are more powerful than Cartoon Characters

In numbers, Anime would definitely win. A new anime comes out every season while new cartoons come out every year also you don't specify how cartoon characters would win, if you think that they would only win because of numbers then you should really start watching an to see the kind of power they have. Cartoon characters are very weak with limited abilities. I 100% believe that one character from Dragon Ball Z or Naruto would wreak havoc on the marvel/DC world. Naruto has the power to form 1000 solid shadow clones as well as summoning giant demon foxes and toads while Freiza from Dragon Ball Z could destroy entire planets at will meaning HE himself could destroy the every single cartoon character. I hope this is enough to prove you wrong. [SOURCES] http://dragonball.wikia.com...! http://naruto.wikia.com...
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

"The funds are rebate on the taxes you will pay next year, they are a rebate on your 2008 tax return." So that means in 2008 the IRS will figure my taxes based on what I earned for that year and subtract the amount of the rebate I got this year and that will be my tax for the year of 2008 correct? If this is correct then the govt will have to make up the difference of the rebate it gave me this year for next years fiscal budget because it will now be short the money it gave me this year. The govt has never and I repeat never ever cut spending, it will print more money to make up the difference it is short in 2008 because of the short fall created by handing out money it does not have. This is my analysis, It's called simple math and knowing govt is completely irresponsible.
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

Where is your analysis, the reason, why they are doing this is to benefit America, If it did not, then every single Senator, House of Reps who passed, this, just wanted to cause a stagflation as you said, obviously, you are cutting away from the debate, to an I don't know situation, just admit it. I wanted to have a real debate about this and also Professors of economics who gave the thumbs up to this bill are dumber than you right. You have provided no warrants, or data, just analysis.
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

"Is this a rebate? What is it a rebate on? The funds are rebate on the taxes you will pay next year, they are a rebate on your 2008 tax return. Rather than give it to you next year, they are giving it to you now. Next year, after you file your taxes, the IRS will calculate what you should've gotten and adjust your return. So if you received too much "rebate," they let you keep it. If you received too little, they decrease what you owe next year." http://www.bargaineering.com... So it is your taxes, just they give your taxes earlier, so you can boost the economy faster. He is saying it will cause stagflation, but it is not like they are getting this money out of thin air. It is the money the american people put into the governments hands. This are just some clarifications on restrictions "An individual with $2,500 in earned income in 2007: Disqualified because income fell below the $3,000 threshold. No rebate. A married couple with no children, with adjusted gross income of $100,000 in 2007: Would qualify for the full $1,200 couples. A $1,200 rebate. A worker with one child, who earned $9,000 and owed no taxes in 2007: Would qualify for the $300 rebate available to individuals who pay no taxes but earned at least $3,000, plus an additional $300 for the child. A $600 rebate. A couple with income of $145,000 in 2007, with three children: Would qualify for the full $1,200 for couples, plus $300 for each child. A $2,100 rebate. A couple with income of $160,000 in 2007 with two children: Would qualify for a partial rebate, reduced by 5 percent for every $1,000 in income above the $150,000 threshold. An $1,800 rebate $1,200 for the couple plus $300 per child — would go down by 50 percent for this family. A $900 rebate. A couple with income of $200,000 and four children: Disqualified because their income exceeded $174,000, the phase-out limit. No rebate." Come up with something more original, because I can't think of much else, but my case still stands in the round as you have not rebutted anything.
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

This is so simple, It will help very little if at all. First where is this money coming from? Social Security is going bankrupt Medicare will be bankrupt even sooner. There is no money for any additional spending according to govt' officials, we have to raise taxes just to cover what is being paid for by the Govt now. So where in hell are they going to get this massive amount of money to cover all these checks! One of two things is painfully obvious here. We as tax payers are either being unfairly over taxed because they have all this extra money lying around or the federal reserve is just going to print a bunch of unsecured money and flood the monetary system with worthless cash in order to cover all the checks from the govt. If the later is true the only result will be inflation, and the economy will remain stagnent, What they are doing will cause, I hate to use the term (STAGFLATION)
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

I don't' need to address any of your professors speculations on what might or might not happen if the fed prints more worthless money. No one can predict the economy. If they could they would own the world. I don't even have to read what these professors of yours have to say. It is all speculation, no matter how many numbers and scenarios they present they have absolutely no idea what will happen when the fed floods the monetary system with worthless cash. I have been around for almost 50 years and I have seen the fed do this before and all it did was cause inflation. History is on my side, pure speculation is on your side.
That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns next year.

Here is what will happen to the money that the govt sends out, and believe me you do not have to be an economic expert to figure this out. 1/4 to 1/3 of that money will be used to pay credit card bills that were racked up during the economic boom. Another 1/4 to 1/3 will be used to pay quarterly tax payments back to the govt, that is where my rebate is going. Another 1/3 to 1/4 will be used to pay monthly bills such as the mortgage payment, electric and utilities, etc. None of the above things do anything to stimulate the economy. The 1/4 to 1/3 left over will do nothing if anything to stimulate the economy. The best way to fix the economy is to let it tank and let the free market correct it self. What the govt is doing will only make the correction more painful when it finally does happen. I looked to see how old you are and it explains a lot, with age comes wisdom. here is a link that you can go to which has many sub links in it and it will explain to you what happens when the federal reserve prints worthless cash and all the other countries that do the same thing. http://www.gold-prices.biz... You are betting this scam will work, I wouldn't touch that bet with a ten foot pole!
fight club is the best movie ever made.

You win, I don't really care about winning debates and I have failed to convince you that being the hero usually makes the better movie. This was a great debate, thank you for the opportunity to allow me to express myself. You are very respectful and cordial, well reasoned as well. You should try more objective debates, it's good to practice both. I'm going away for a while, but I hope when I return I could continue a friendship with you. Thank you so very much :).
fight club is the best movie ever made.

I think that we need to draw the difference between the Narrator and Tyler. While I realize they were technically the same person, the Narrator did not want to destroy. I don't necessarily think he wanted to be a hero, either. He just wanted to be, to exist. And that's it. He was a very simple character, really. Just a normal business man that went a bit mad. He didn't mean to commit harm, but he didn't really seem to mind when he did... But his morality or lack thereof does not make him or the movie any less great. It's the complexity surrounding his emotions and Tyler and the morality-vs-fantasy thing that makes the movie fantastic. He knew he could do nothing to fix the world, or to fix humanity, because we (in his/Tyler's mind) are just garbage with brains. He wasn't on a path to destruction, simply a path to the emptiness and lack of life that he craved. Sometimes the best movies are about the worst people, and while the Narrator wasn't a villain, he wasn't really that great. But that doesn't matter, it shows truth. Humans aren't always good, and we just have to know this and accept this and move on because as the movie tries to show, life doesn't really have much of a meaning for some people (like the Narrator) and sometimes they just live to... live. Or to die. Also, yes, I love Forrest Gump too. I'm glad to hear how his character helped and inspired you. It's a really beautiful movie.
fight club is the best movie ever made.

You actually proved my argument more, especially with your second paragraph explaining that you wish you could be as free as him. First of all, that's a beautiful thing that movies have the power to do -- make you wish you were in that situation, even as you're watching the character face their worst nightmares. Fight Club is one of those movies that makes you think, question, and wish. It is powerful and amazing in its way to change the minds of anybody who watches it, its ability to really make you look at things. Second, it's important for us to talk about the Narrator's importance in making the movie the "best" since you brought him up a bit. He's not free, most importantly. This movie is a great focus on human's ability to think we are free when we are not, to think we are loved and special when we are not. This movie is not just a movie about him, about the Narrator, but about us. We are the Narrator, we are Marla, and we are Tyler. We are Fight Club, that is what makes it the best. You contrasted Frodo from LOTR and the Narrator from FC there in your argument too. I haven't seen LOTR, but I understand where you're coming from and I'm sure it's a good movie. But, does it make you wonder? Does it make you question yourself, your surroundings, your dreams, your friends, your emotions? Does it make you angry? Does it make you sad, and happy, and even grossed out all at once? Fight Club does that to you. FC makes you feel things and think things you didn't know you could -- it makes you sad for the Narrator while hating him (hating Tyler) at the same time. Does LOTR do that? Make you love and hate the same character? And FC has quite a bit of internal and external conflict too. You see, the Narrator has all of that internal conflict going on, and he uses "Tyler" to externalize it. Tyler is the physical conflict, the Narrator is the internal. That is what is important, that the movie is so complex and wonderful and absolutely angering and saddening at the same time. No movie has ever enabled me to think about myself and the world quite as powerfully as FC. (To answer your question, I like a bunch of other movies from varying genres. Forrest Gump, for one, is another movie I feel I could hold a debate about the importance of. I also love Battle Royale. The Harry Potter and Hunger Games series-es are dear to my heart as well, and I recently fell in love with the Shanghai Noon series and The Neverending Story movies. I also have a soft spot for romantic comedies, which, when you look at it, Fight Club almost counts as one...)
fight club is the best movie ever made.

I believe that Fight Club (1999, David Fincher) is the best film ever created, and perhaps the best that will ever exist -- but this debate will be purely based on the fact that Pro (myself) is arguing that FC is the "best" movie. I will be using several arguments, some based purely on the wording of my argument or my opponent's. Con must prove in at least one way that a) FC is NOT the best b) another movie is better. "Best", in this debate, is being used to say that FC is simply the best qualifier out of any options my opponent or I will bring up, and that it has the highest amount of good qualities. I believe I have presented a proper introduction to this debate and to my opinion, and I will gladly wait for an opponent's point of view.
