There Never Should Have Been An Iraq War

Here are my following arguments: 1: We invaded because we thought there were "weapons of mass destruction" but, if that was the only reason we invaded Iraq why don't we invaded every country that we know has weapons of mass destruction. 2: There are nonviolent ways of winning. My example: President Regan in the 1980's, he created an arms race that he knew would bankrupt the Soviets and they did, and he defeated America's #1 enemy without firing a single shot. So why didn't we do that instead? 3: We spent all that money and Iraq has not even been grateful for liberating them from Saddam's iron grip(they even threw a shoe at President Bush), They could at least give us a discount on their oil.
Brown eyes are prettier than blue eyes

The list down the points made by Con: Blue eyes are prettier than brown eyes for the following reason - Blue is the color of pure, so that means people born with blue eyes are born pure - People with blue eyes tend to be more confident and a more welcoming look To refute these points, I'd like to start with point one. -"Blue is the color of pure, so that means people born with blue eyes are born pure" Con states after this point that he doesn't know if the above is true, but that he can "understand where they are coming from". He fails to provide any kind of information to prove this. Now, according to sites such as this one (http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com...), White is actually the color of pure, while blue represents, according to the site, "Blue is the color of trust and peace. It can suggest loyalty and integrity as well as conservatism and frigidity." Point two: -"People with blue eyes tend to be more confident and a more welcoming look" Also from the site above is the color brown. Blue was listed above, but here it is again: Blue: "Blue is the color of trust and peace. It can suggest loyalty and integrity as well as conservatism and frigidity." Versus brown Brown: "The color brown is a friendly yet serious, down-to-earth color that relates to security, protection, comfort and material wealth." So while blue eyes can represent a trusting, loyal look, but brown can give a more welcoming look in terms of a more "protective" and "loving" look. This, as compared to blue eyes, I often find prettier/more attractive, hence why I believe that brown eyes are prettier than blue eyes. They can give a gentle, loving look, can go with hair easier than blue eyes, and the color is associated with ideas of security and protection.

Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

My opponent begins this round by saying that he forfeited due to not being able to create an argument. However, that was one debate on one topic. Perhaps he couldn't come up for an argument on that one particular topic, but he could be very good at debating other topics. He just doesn't know as he has never done any other debates on this site. Secondly, my opponent points out that he never debates in real life or on other sites. Of course I don't know him so I have no way to confirm this. He could very much be engaging in casual debate. Most topics can be debatable whether it's about who you want to win the next election or what to eat for dinner. If my opponent has ever been in a dispute over what to eat for dinner or which movie to watch then he has done debate in real life. Thanks again! Good luck in the last round!
Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

Thank you for your speedy reply My opponent claims that perhaps i am a good debater but that i simply have underestimated my ability. However, I did not post because i couldn't think of a GOOD argument. I didn't post because i couldn't think of AN argument. Nothing came to mind and no matter how many points i put together, it didn't make sense. Secondly my opponent mentions again that i could be a good debater in rel life or on other sites. However I do not usually engage in debates in real life and have do not even know of any other debate sites. I dislike debating in real life because it leads to conflict. Once again i will state that theory from observation would encourage the statement that i am a bad debater.
Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

(I just realized this is five rounds >.>) Thank you for getting a reply up before the timer ran down. My opponent again mentions his forfeit in his last debate. He claims he forfeited to avoid looking bad. However, by forfeiting you're also making yourself look bad. Oftentimes, people are pessimistic and underestimate their own abilities and think they can't do something(http://en.wikipedia.org...). By other people's standards, my opponent could be a very good debater. The criteria for being a good debater is often subjective just like the criteria for being a bad debater could be subjective. Secondly, my opponents mentions how he has not displayed good quality. That could be true for debate.org, but in real life and on other sites he could have shown exceptional debate skills thus I again contend that he is not a bad debater. Good luck in round 4!
Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

I'd like to apologies to my opponent for not posting my round quickly. My opponent once again addresses the idea that i did not have the time to post in my first debate. However this is untrue. I did not post my next round on that debate because i did not wish to embarrass myself. This in turn was unfair to my opponent in my last debate because regardless of whether or not i would win, i should have posted. This shows that i am a bad debater. According to the dictionary reference my opponent made, bad can also mean "Not good in any manner or degree." Although it can be said that this may not be true for me, as it may be said that i am in good in some manners or degrees, theory from observation would dictate that since i have not shown this qualities, am a bad debater. http://dictionary.reference.com...
Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

My opponent mentions that he could have forfeited his last debate in order to look like a bad debater rather than actually being one. However, he has yet to show me proof that he is a bad debater. Also, he failed to mention the fact that although he forfeited he could have still made some solid arguments before. He also leaves out that he could have forfeited because although his computer is near his bed he could have been away on holidays thus too busy to respond to DDO. His internet could have even been down preventing him from getting online. Again, my opponent failed to provide basis for the argument that he's a bad debater. According to dictionary. com, my opponent does not appear to have a wicked or evil character so he cannot be a bad debater. . http://dictionary.reference.com...
Prove to me that i am a good debater and not a bad one.

I will now try to refute his points. --- "My opponent claims to be a poor debater on the grounds that he forfeited his previous debate. This, however, proves nothing about his actual skill. He could be a very good debater, but just purposely forfeited to look bad or perhaps he was busy and couldn't get online. These are both very plausible possibilities. " ----- My opponent claims 2 possibilities as to why I forfeited my previous debate. 1. That I forfeited to look bad 2. That i was busy or couldn't get online. The logic of the 1st point is negligible. Although i am arguing that i am a bad debater, why would i wish to look like one. The second point is untrue as my computer is right beside my bed and i always have access to it. "Secondly, he also says he's a bad debater on the basis that other members here are better educated. This is also inaccurate as your level of education can mean very little. For example, wjmelements(. http://www.debate.org......) is a member here who is a highschool student who is currently at a 79% win ratio compared to me(. http://www.debate.org......) who is a college student who currently only has a 69% win ratio. " Although i agree that educational level is not really a factor in the ability debate intelligence is. I find it extremely difficult to figure out even the most basic arguments for debates. I await my opponents reply.

As long as drugs such as marijuana are illegal alochol should be as well

You seem to contradict yourself in saying that they should be legal, but if one is illegal so should they all be... My father takes both cannabis and alcohol every day, he doesn't appear to be happy and is often paranoid (one of the debatable side effects of marijuana) so, on this basis I think that they should both be illegal because they have a detrimental influence on a person's happiness.
Loki is still alive

Well, Sorry to burst your bubble, But You didn't make that clear and your comment about MCU in the beginning led me to believe that opposite. Why would you not take evidence from MCU if you ONLY want to talk about MCU. That's just framing the debate so that nobody can every prove you wrong. 1) Only proofs from MCU 2) contradictions from MCU will be dismissed C) Cannot be disproven. anywho I'm forced to concede because I don't watch the newer marvel movies. I apologize for the confusion. Sincerely.
what color is a tennis ball neon or green

You just created a whole new argument. You just said people can"t decide between yellow or green. Not once was neon a choice in why you said. If you yourself can"t even add neon to the comparison then the argument is over. You still haven"t countered my point saying neon is a description for a color. Neon itself is not a color. There can be neon green, neon yellow etc... therefore tennis balls are not neon. They are green (neon green if you"d like to put it that way) instead of adding new arguments (which contradict yourself) try defending my arguments first. 3 point swish for Mr Debate King
Middle schoolers should not date

I believe that middle schoolers should be able to date as it is a testing grounds and a time where things in the body both physically and emotionally as well as in a hormonal way. The very notion that middle schoolers should not date is absurd, while all people develop at different stages it is important for those who Devlop more quickly to have the opportunity to "text the waters" and understand limits and self-control while experimenting with new things.
Socialism is the way forward

Everyone knows the way we are headed is indeed a dark and heavy burden road, but changing the system is even more darker. There are just to manny people living off the system and we in to far I'm sorry but changing the system at this point is no used it would end up as a viscous cycle. Liberal and industry friendly economic ideology is in fact more risky then the system we have today I promise you crime rate will go up people will become more greedy and take advantage of the new "free" ways. This system that you propose can not be done, if we were to do this we would have to trust the people and the people only. There would be no government and we have to rely on eachother but can we really trust the people? Yes there are good people out there but we'd just end up right were we start if we tried this. A group of the people will have all of the money and there will be a poverty line once again. The idea is great just if only people obeyed the law and were trust worthy. But in these dark times no one trusts anyone. I wish there was a perfect system but there just isn't I've been trying to think of one but everytime I do i end up at square one. So to sum it up if we were to try this system we must trust people which there are just to manny corrupted people that it just won't work. But great system idea!
Socialism is the way forward

The problems that you speak off will continue and probably worsen if we were to implement a system like socialism in today's world. If the production in a country is being restricted, there will be a fall in the requirement of jobs. People will further become unemployed leading to rise in unemployment rates. As far as debt goes, those in debt will stay in debt. Socialism only 'AIMS' to provide equality. In practice however, it is near impossible to carry out equitable distribution of wealth. Socialism is an ideal system only in theory. In practice it is a flawed case. Look at the former USSR. One of the main reasons for the collapse of the USSR was the flawed policy of extreme socialism that it followed. Had it been a more liberal economy like the USA at that time, it would have probably survived. I agree with you when you say that there is no perfect system, but socialism cannot be considered as the way forward.
Socialism is the way forward

I understand what you are trying to say here, and yes I believe this Eco system is harmful but, what would you propose we do you have plans for how much money will be involved how manny small business or bigs ones we have to risk. Manny people rely on this type of system. Now I understand that the government taxation may be abused and people get greedy but do you think people will change they greed if we were to change the system there will be loop holes people will find ways. We can't find the prefect system. But I don't totally disagree with you maybe trying out a system maybe the way to go but i feel like it's to risky. Yes people are losing jobs as we speak and some aren't getting employed yes right now there are people who are in debt for no reason, there are so manny problems with the government and other things that changing system won't be good enough were so far into the system. Think about it if we were to change the system like yours the liberal and industry friendly economic ideology. What plans would you have? It can be about any problem that you think should be changed.
The black death was caused by a volcano and not by germs.

1. There is only one disease. There are not thousands of different diseases as you have been taught. There are not 3 different types of Black Death - (bubonic, septicemic and pneumanic). Note - All these variations are said by the medical system to be caused by the yersinia pestis bacteria. All false and misleading information. The only disease that exists is called 'vitamin deficiency'. All diseases are either the result of vitamin deficiency or food/chemical poisoning. Note- Chemical poisoning results in vitamin deficiency also. All diseases are the result of vitamin deficiency. The particular vitamin deficiency determines the nature of the so called 'disease'. 2. The medical system has been devised specifically to make money out of you for the entirety of your life. They do this by deceiving you into thinking that disease is a complex and difficult problem of which only a doctor knows how to fix. Thus, you will be blackmailed into taking their expensive drugs and services to fix your medical problem. But this is just a scam. 3. Disease first began when humans started to grow crops and drink cows milk. Prior to that, there would have been no diseases. When you eat too much grain foods you will develop a condition called 'leaky gut syndrome' which will allow your gut bacteria to enter your blood stream. This will make you feel sick. This is the true process of disease development. Thus, the bacteria doesn't come from rats on ships, fleas or from the air as you might have been told. 4.Volcanoes erupt every now and then and cause the sunlight to be partially blocked. This has happened many times in the past. The Dark Ages were actually dark, because the sun was partially blocked for many centuries due to volcanic activity. When this happens, there will be massive starvation periods where millions of people must die because there aren't enough resources for the large populations. Eventually, people will have to rely on stored grain foods to survive during these times. If people have to rely on stored grain food and don't have any other foods to supplement their diet, then, they will develop diabetic related problems. Symptoms may include - toes, fingers and nose will turn black due to lack of circulation and their lymth glands will become swollen. Thus, we have what is called the 'Black Death'. 5. Thus, germs are a SECONDARY PHASE of the disease process. The PRIMARY CAUSE being vitamin deficiency and food poisoning. I admit, that germs may be present in a Black Death victim, but this debate is about primary causes of disease and not about whether germs are present or not. Thus, without the volcanic causation agent and the grain food toxins, then there would be no disease or germs in the blood what-so-ever. 6. Grain food causes the gut to leak because the grain contains tiny razor sharp edges which cut and damage the lining of the gut. https://motherboard.vice.com... https://articles.mercola.com... https://www.youtube.com...
