Abortion violates the Constitution.

Decades ago, in 1973, a major verdict had just hit the news. The Supreme Court had just decided in favor of Jane Roe, leading to the legalization of abortion. In the Constitution, written by our founding fathers, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are extremely important elements, vital to the rest of the Constitution, paramount to our God-given rights. So, tell me, if we are to remain a free society, what place does abortion have? It exists only to take away the most vital of rights: life. Abortion, by definition, is a procedure to terminate the life of the unborn child in the womb. In fact, since Roe v. Wade, more than 57 million children have been killed before they were even born. Without giving these children their inalienable, God-given right to live, what will come next? We have already seen the consequences of this merciless bloodbath. Government-funded corporate empires like Planned Parenthood make billions every year, off of a combination of services, some less than legal, as evidenced by the recent undercover Planned Parenthood videos. And so we must ask ourselves, should we be calling this "women's healthcare"? Does a business of killing really qualify as healthcare at all? These questions are all that I wish you ponder. Let's have a nice, clean debate. I wish not to attack each other, but rather that we can better each other through learning from this debate.
Pros Cons of Islam: From a Non Muslim Perspective

the difference is i dont speak my oppinion, i talking facts to speak against chrsitianity you would have to speak against all bad habbits.. that includes watching movies, drinking coffe, eating candy... irrelevant.. islam is the biggest problem on the face of this earth besides money.. those 2 things being the only problems, but we are talking about islam.. you want me to be a hater, but your suicidal reasoning is self hate.. sry you cant grasp that if self defence is self hate id hate myself all day long 2. islam is not a religion, its forced.. like eating food is forced, and dosnt make you religious muslims brains are chewed up by fear and vommited back into their heads, they cant think straight isis is islam and drug cartels should be stopped as well..
Pros Cons of Islam: From a Non Muslim Perspective

Ok no more joking around, real talk. Here's my non bias opinion. Il split this in to 3 steps for this post. 1-Personal views on the world in general 2-Pros 3-Cons 1) Should i hate them? Yes because my aunt was directly attacked in 7/7, do i hate them? No, because i focus on myself and no one else^, i wouldn't have gained my marketing degree despite the cards dealt to me in life without this self-centered attitude. Islam is what is, and that is culture, traditions and respect for an ideology. It may not be with the times, but neither is Christianity or Judaism. ^=The world is filled with hate, so why get caught up in it, just be you. Slightly irrelevant but Important nonetheless, ie y fight fire with fire, when you got buckets of water. 2) Pros Islam is a religious of respect and order for God as mentioned. Its a schedule n dedication based around self discipline and non conflicting traditional gender roles, eg praying 5 times daily keeps your ego in check. Unlike the west, sin is limited to a domestic, non social platform, meaning children won't have insecurity issues about being zero 0 or being a mr muscles marinara. The modern isis army are fighting for socio-economic justice, using terrorism as a front. Propaganda has distorted this to instill the fear you claim. The fear is a mirage, the cause is survival and making sure their families don't grow up impoverished. That's why the membership is so appealing to a youth... The reason why Isis is progressing so much in Europe, is because the European economy is a shambles, and things need changing in their eyes. Cons: However imams exploit this and take advantage of vulnerable ppl just like a drug cartel manipulates a yungen. They marry their cousins, that is disgusting. They kill infant girls, but thats because of the stigma from the dowry system. They smell really really bad lol Islam literally means surrendering to God, not appealing to a non Muslim freethinker. That's enough for now my friend, your move.
Pros Cons of Islam: From a Non Muslim Perspective

you cant know before hand where the discussion leads.. i dont know why people try to be oracles there is no worse evil, then supporting islam, as a free being when only free beings can end islam.. islam what comes out of islam being the worst evil that can possibly be imagined.. and evil goes hand in hand with ignorance, in this case, it is ignorance in its purest form, con. i feel about muslims, that they are victims of islam.. that is where im comming from, how many children are you people allowing to be raped by sick pedophiles in their personal torture basements right now? how many out of 1,6 billion muslims? i want to know the precise number since you are for islam and muslims are forced therfore not responsible for their actions and way of life, you are. trash talk: go f'ck a goat you sympathetic insect
Pros Cons of Islam: From a Non Muslim Perspective

Opponent is con, I'm pro and con. R1- Acceptance and trash talking round R2-Personal backgrounds n experiences on to why we feel the way we feel about muslims, no rebuttals R3- Arguments R4-5-comments= Rebuttals. Trash talk: why you afraid of isis, when you should be afraid of me, I'm knowledge personified. I'm better than you, you smell a poo. Apu, simpsons, they done 9/11, bet you believe that illuminati ish, you gullible. Gullible, oh my days, go library fam.
Border Fence

So it seems my opponent has been too busy to post up a new argument for round 4. So I won't make any new arguments since he has no chance to respond to them. Rather I will reiterate major points that voters of this debate round should look to. ==Voters== The first major reason to Affirm the resolved is because the Neg focuses almost completely on economics. His 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th points are all basically about economy. At the point where I disprove all of those arguments, and prove that by Affirming we make and save more money then we should Affirm. The second reason to vote Pro is because of the effectiveness debate. He argues that the Border Fence will do close to nothing but his 2nd point assumes the Border Fence is successful. At the point where I prove my 1st voter and my opponent himself proves this voter then we Affirm. Even if you don't buy either of those two arguments I'm still winning the public safety debate. He doesn't dispute the fact that public safety is an issue. Rather he argues that Neg secures public safety better. He doesn't really do this though, the only way he does this is by saying that the fence is ineffective. Once again his point 2 assumes it does work. So at the point where it does work and it protects the public better then we Affirm. Also the public safety argument is the most important argument in the round because it proves how Government will be fulfilling its obligation , to protect citizens, when we Affirm.
Border Fence

Alright, thank you, Guitar_guru, I will now start my rebuttal of your main point.Counter to point 1- I completely agree with you on this. Gangs are a problem, and many of them are latino, but these estimations of how many are illegal may be inaccurate. I suggest you look at my these points: 3,5,6. In point 3, I explain how a barbed wire fence will do close to nothing, and any other kind of fences will almost double the cost. In point 5, I explain that this will stain our relationship with Mexico, do you remember the Berlin Wall? How many people has that wall outraged? Exactly, many, this could become Berlin Wall 2, and countries would frown upon us. In point 6, I explain that having a wall is expensive, offensive, and etc. There are many ALTERNATIVES to a wall. There are better alternatives, so why don't we give out a few jobs to people who will find those alternatives to a wall? There is a more peaceful, freindly, and cheaper way to enforce illegal immigration.Counter to point 2- With jobs comes spending in the community. Spending at the grocery store and etc. is a good thing. These illegals have no intention of returning to Mexico, as they immigrated for the reason of getting out of Mexico. The only Immigrants who would want to leave america are gang members to get more drugs. Now if there is as much illegal immigrants in gangs as you say there are, then who is taking the jobs? The gang members? The gang members don't work out of fear of being tracked by police, they are in the streets as you say. So either there is many gang members who are illegal immigrants, or there are many illegal immigrants "taking" our jobs, the two statments contradict each other.Counter to point 3- ALTERNATIVES again. Why not pass a law that prohibits health care to illegals? Why not have an automatic deportation law, where any alien found is automatically deported? We need to take steps to stop illegal immigration, and a wall is a drastic measure, it is a huge step, which is inneficient, we need to take small steps untill the goal is reached, this is efficient. WHAT THIS REBUTTAL SAYS: This rebuttal proves that some of your statements contradict each other, that my points, numbered 3,5,6 and 1 are all points that prove that a fence is an exxaggerated action, that may offend Mexico. A fence will stain relationships with Mexico. A fence will look like a Berlin Wall#2. There is always better ALTERNATIVES.These include:-Negotiation with Mexico-Automatic Deportation act-Refusing healthcare to any who do not have legal citizenship-Enforcing the border with U.S. troops from Iraq-More serious punishment for illegal immigration-Rewards for illegals that are turned inSOURCES FOR ROUND 1 AND ROUND 2:-Logic-Common Knowledge-Mental Modeling/simulation-Opinions of others on my side.
Border Fence

Ok. Here we go. POINT 1- Money In this economic time making an investment that doesn't pay back directly is risky. Building a fence will cost money (building a fence around my yard costs a few thousand, how much would a fence that goes on for miles cost to build? Millions, maybe Billions). We do not have this money right now. We have other problems. Also, the fence will need maintenance. The fence will not pay off economically, and therefore, it is not a good idea. POINT 2- Less Consumers This might sound crazy, but, immigrants are consumers too. They buy goods. As we all know, buying goods stabilizes the economy. If people don't buy goods, the GDP is shrinks, which leads to other consequences. POINT 3- What's a fence going to do? Since immigrants are desperate anyway, what are they going to do? Yes, they WILL climb over the fence. If you make it a shock fence, it will at least double the price. Immigrants have options, they can climb, ram through and damage it, etc. There will still be illegal immigrants in the US, sure there would just be a few less coming in, but there will always be the ones that are here that we cannot find. Anyway, an immigrant can always strike a deal with a drug lord and get smuggled over on a private jet. POINT 4- If we legalize certain drugs, there would be less of them, because drugs come from Mexico. If we legalize drugs, then there would be less drugs coming in if a fence was to be built. But the reason for legalizing drugs would be to tax them through the roof, and have even more serious punishment for illegal selling of drugs without paying the tax. That way, we will have more money to take care of the country. POINT 5- Relations If you were Mexico, how would you feel if a neighboring country built a fence on the border because your country is notorious for smuggling drugs and illegal immigrants, and your country cannot take care of this problem. You would feel offended, stereotyped, and generally unhappy. POINT 6- Alternatives There are alternatives to this expensive, insulting, consumer killing option. We can simply ask Mexico to help us with our problem, and maybe, we can send the money we send to other countries to Mexico instead so they can take care of the problem. We can station more patrol troops there instead of sending them to Iran or Iraq, which is much more costly. We can more strictly enforce illegal immigration with stronger consequences. There is so much more that could be done, we could even do all the alternatives at once, and it will be less expensive, less offensive, and more effective. Thank you for reading my argument.
The Phrase "Under God" Should be taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance.

=====Counterarguments===== "It doesn't really refer to the United States as a religious nation it is simply pointing out the role that the belief in god had in the foundation of the country. " ----> Untrue. The pledge of allegiance isn't some historical document or phrase (though of course it was made a long time ago). We still recite TO THIS DAY, it's the UNITED STATES PLEDGE. A pledge isn't a historical document; it's a pledge that should remain fair and balanced towards all the inhabitants of the country. "The man who decide on this wording for the pledge were deist meaning they believed in god and that belief affected those who founded the country. ". ----> If you mean the man who created the pledge (without the under God phrase), it was Francis Bellamy [1]. He was a theist, not a deist (you got the definition of deist wrong, so you probably mean theist). In fact, he himself wouldn't mind if the phrase "under God" was taken out[2]. "Religious freedom and the ability to believe in one generic god was greatly appreciated in comparison to back England where if they had, had a say in the matter it would have said one nation under Jesus Christ. " ----> Not relevant to the topic. Even if this was the original point of the pledge, it doesn't mean that it should remain the same. Saying so would be committing the genetic fallacy [3]. "The reference to god in the pledge is more of a patriotic way to show their is religious freedom in the country instead of one state religion. " ----> I am not saying it's advocating a state religion, but how is it celebrating religious freedom in a patriotic way? By saying "we are one nation under God", it leaves out those who are NOT monotheistic! If you really want to praise the religious freedom of our nation, why not change the pledge to "one nation with religious freedom"? Of course, you can make the fancy diction later. =====Conclusion===== The "under God" phrase was put in during the McCarthy era and communism scare [4]- a time when "atheist" was synonymous with "Communist". This of course is NOT true - you don't have to be a Communist to be an atheist. Sure, many communists were atheists, but many atheists WEREN'T communists. "Under God" should be taken out because it trespasses the wall of separation between church and state. ---References--- 1. . http://en.wikipedia.org... 2. . http://www.sullivan-county.com... 3. . http://en.wikipedia.org... 4. . http://www.religioustolerance.org...
The Phrase "Under God" Should be taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance.

The statement one nation under god reflects a very basic and very fair statement. It doesn't really refer to the United States as a religious nation it is simply pointing out the role that the belief in god had in the foundation of the country. The man who decide on this wording for the pledge were deist meaning they believed in god and that belief affected those who founded the country. Religious freedom and the ability to believe in one generic god was greatly appreciated in comparison to back England where if they had, had a say in the matter it would have said one nation under Jesus Christ. The reference to god in the pledge is more of a patriotic way to show their is religious freedom in the country instead of one state religion.
The Phrase "Under God" Should be taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation under God, indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for all." On February 8, 1954, Rep. Charles Oakman (R-Mich.)[1] made a bill into effect with the phrase "under God". I contend that this phrase is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and therefore should be taken out. There is a strong wall between state and religion[2], and this phrase certainly violates it. Because the phrase "under God" implies a monotheistic religion, this is skewed against: -->Deists (a belief in a God that doesn't interact with the universe)[3] -->Polytheists (belief in many gods)[4] -->Atheists(no belief in a deity)[5] This is why the phrase "under God" should be taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance. I will await my opponent's response. ---References--- 1. http://en.wikipedia.org... 2. http://en.wikipedia.org... 3. http://www.deism.com... 4. http://www.polytheism.net... 5. http://www.atheists.org...
The Kalaam Cosmological Argument is Unsound

Rounds: 1. Acceptance (agreeing with everything stated in the first round) 2. Opening arguments 3. Rebuttals/Refutations to opponent's opening arguments 4. Defence of your opening arguments (no new arguments) Kalaam Cosmological Argument- An argument for the existence of a theistic God that is generally framed as follows: P1: Everything we know (from experience, intuition or rationale) which comes into being ex nihilo has an efficient cause P2: The Universe began to exist C1: Ergo, The Universe has a cause of its existence P3: If the Universe has a cause of its existence, that cause is an uncaused, beginningless, changeless, immaterial, timeless, spaceless, omnipotent, omnipresent personal creator (God) who sans creation. C2: The cause of the universe's existence is God. C3: Therefore, God exists. Unsound- describing an argument in which either the conclusion does not follow from its premises or in which the premises themselves are false. Just to be clear, I am arguing that the KCA is unsound, Con will be arguing that it is sound. BoP is shared.

So you were the track and they were the train, just like I thought: They rode you all day whether you liked it or not. You're a b!tch, and hell, I ain't even your father. If you didn't talk smack, then I wouldn't even bother. Let me break this down for you, nice and simple: Imma' pop your a$$, you mothaf*ckin a$$ pimple. You smack addict, go back to the bat, or I'll attack With strategic mad force to your little nut sack. Why do I get the feeling you flirt with Ra's more than you assert? You're a quirky f*ckin merc, mess with me and you'll get hurt. I'll make your blood spurt all over Tatooine's desert. I'll put you in the dirt and fill it faster than Neil Peart. I'm the blackest rappa in the galaxy, next to Lando. You chew up and spit out rhymes like Marlon Brando. Maybe you should pull the microphone out from your a$$, You'll need that space for my giant d*ck mass. Recently I've been trying to learn how to speak French. Can you teach me how to say, "I f*cked your little wench?" I had to get creative with my built-in wrench. I tightened her loose p*ssy and got rid of the stench. Your entire life is a model of failure, don't you see? You failed to protect your pathetic little girlie. Not only did you fail that, you failed to kill the bat, And if you fail to see that, you're just an a$$ hat. When I first sensed you, I thought, "who's this tiny mortal man?" But it doesn't matter who your are; what matters is my plan. When I take off your mask, it'll be very painful for you, Then I'll go blow up Gotham City like you failed to do.

Damn right I'm crazy, Bane, and that's all I can be When I've got next to God-like powers flowing through me. And by the way, that a$$ p*ssy Anakin is dead. I killed his a$$ when Sidious got into his head. So you served your woman well, well guess what: I did too; There's a lot more than choking chicken that the force can do, And not to mention, Tali told me that I'm bigger than you, And that she has to clean your mask of the sh!t that you spew. Speaking of your sh!t, what's this sh!t about me? You're saying I'm bipolar 'cause I stick up for my family? It was my impression that you hated the bat; If so, why help him, and work for him, at that? I heard you're in with the League of Shadows, so cool. What, did you play b!tch-boy daily with Ra's Al Ghul? When you're a drug-addict I guess you have to do what you can. Did he make you face your fear of having sex with a man? You've never even seen true brute strength in your life. How's my star destroyer match up to your teddy bear knife? I could snap you in half with a wave of my hand, Drag you to Tatooine and drop you in the pit of sand. Don't talk about coming to the real world, Bane; You were born in a fictional prison into 2D pain. You're a 2D stock bad guy made to raise hell, At least I've got a mothaf*ckin story to tell. So you think that you can match up to Obi-Won Kenobi? Well, Bane, I'm your bane, and that's how you're going to know me When your sitting and digesting in the belly of the Sarlac, It should feel like home, but you can't climb out the top.
