Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Computers and different devices are widening our academic horizons. Now, there are so many platforms like EduCat where you can use many tools to work with texts, manage the time of your speech, monitor your gpa...education is easier with technologies, that is for sure.
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

computers have more then 1 resource to learn stuff and you can't write in a reading book
Debate: Are books or computers better for learning?
Side: computers

Both books and computers have unique strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning. Books have been a primary source of knowledge and education for centuries and offer several advantages. They are portable, affordable, and do not require an internet connection. Books also allow readers to annotate and highlight important passages, making it easier to retain and remember information.On the other hand, computers offer several advantages as well. They provide access to a vast amount of information and resources that can be quickly and easily searched, sorted, and filtered. They also offer interactive and multimedia features, such as videos, animations, and simulations, that can make learning more engaging and memorable.However, it is important to note that both books and computers have limitations. Books may not provide the most up-to-date information or may lack multimedia features that can enhance learning. Computers, on the other hand, can be distracting and can lead to information overload or a lack of critical thinking skills.Ultimately, the best tool for learning depends on the individual and the context. For example, books may be more suitable for certain subjects that require in-depth analysis and reflection, such as philosophy or literature. Computers may be more suitable for subjects that require access to the latest information and research, such as science or technology
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Who are we to say what is real or not when tons of people all over the world claim to have paranormal experiences. When all across the cultures, there are legends/myths of a sort of supernatural being. My opinion is that we as humans, will never find out or agree if ghosts are real but for myself, I chose to believe in it. Because, many people have had their own sort of paranormal experiences and we can't shove them aside and say that they are lying because we don't want to believe in it.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Who are we to say what is real or not when tons of people all over the world claim to have paranormal experiences. It is true it is safer not to speak in definite terms when it comes to the nonexistence of something. But considering none of these experiences have ever been recreated a controlled setting and in fact do not usually stand up to critical scrutiny, and there is a more probable, rational explanation for the human tendency to see ghosts, it puzzles me why people would not choose to err on the side of logic.When all across the cultures, there are legends/myths of a sort of supernatural being.These cultures all have very different ideas of what ghosts are, how they come into being, what they look like and what they are capable of. The fact that almost everything about ghosts is incredibly subjective based on geography seems like pretty good evidence to their nonexistence. Because, many people have had their own sort of paranormal experiences and we can't shove them aside and say that they are lying because we don't want to believe in it.Humans have naturally suspicious minds. We retain the tendency to see something where there is nothing, because that is safer than seeing nothing where there is something. Plenty of these people genuinely believe they had a paranormal experience, but in reality, they were influenced by fear, the power of suggestion, or groupthink. It is very possible for the memories of your own experiences to be very distorted without you realizing it. It doesn't mean everyone who claims to have a paranormal experience is crazy or a liar, it means they have an average brain with an overactive imagination. Also, yes, lots of them are probably lying. Do not lose sight of the fact that every single one of these experiences is secondhand; they are quite likely to be omitting or embellishing, purposefully or not. Take the story of a slightly creepy coincidence, pass it through a couple of superstitious people who love a good scare, and you have a fantastic ghost story.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

They may have different ideas of what ghosts are but the point is they still have stories of something supernatural. One or two may just a coincidence but if many of them have it, don't you think that there is something more to it?My family and very close friends have told me that they have had supernatural experiences and I know they wouldn't lie or make up random stories. So that also adds to my belief even though it is not the big reason why I believe in it.Also, how about things that can't be explained by humans? Things that seem to have more than rational reasoning behind it?

Who are you to say what IS?REALITY.. is not defined except that it is real. If it were not we would not be here.To say 'This iS' or 'This is not', is pure hubris.The default position is that ghosts may be.As are black holes.Who here argues black holes are NOT. NONE
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Are ghost real? Ever got a cold chill when it is ninety degrees? Ever had a door shut by itself with no breeze? I lived in a house that many feared, I have seen some strange things. Entered the house after being gone several days and smell of perfume took your breath (Nobody claimed to have been there while I was away). Entered the house and the inside of the door was covered in blood. I figured someone broke a window and entered the house, left by the back door with a bloody hand. No broken windows and nothing was missing. (The Sheriffs office filled out a report)Entered the house and took off my shoes, had to use the restroom, stepped on a soaking wet rug in the bathroom. Looked around and the toilet paper roll was dripping water from it as it hung there. The sink and tub both bone dry, no signs of water splashed anywhere else.Those cold chills mentioned, occasional got them.Dog would bark in the middle of the night as if there was someone just outside the bedroom door. No one ever found. The light bulbs blow in the house one room at a time, and then the TV went up in smoke.Leave and come back, one of the rooms I didn't use would have the lights on. This happened several times.The cleaning lady claimed something kept shutting the lights off on her and brought one of her friends after that.A neighbor gal mowed the yard and wouldn't mow without bring a friend along. She claimed that while mowing she saw a man dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and pants on a ninety degree day disappear. While on the riding mower she noticed him and turned around at the end of yard and mowed away from him, when she got to the other end and turned toward him he was gone. I lived in the country and one can see for miles, he just vanished. No cars picked him up, just gone. She didn't stick around. I found a dead coyote leaned against the back door, moved it, and went to bed. The next morning it was leaned against the back door just as it was.This was a five bedroom house and I resided there alone. Whatever it was that took place there, never really bothered me. I came to expect the unexpected the six years I lived there. A ghost? You decide.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Are ghost real? Ever got a cold chill when it is ninety degrees? Ever had a door shut by itself with no breeze? Ghosts are sensory pattern heuristics gone awry. For example, when a door shuts we think someone shut it and don't sense changes in pressure that are too subtle for our senses. Some sensory information causes our defense systems to engage that we are not consciously aware of, hairs on the back of the neck for example are a legacy from our early evolution and when the hairs rising would make us appear bigger.Then there's the suggestibility of the human mind. Someone tells you a house is haunted so you imagine things and are hypersensitive to things that aren't there.

To error is aveske. A qoute that will become famous one day. You only took one example of several, dispute all activity.Second, this house is a new one built on bare ground. There is no history and the parties involved don't know each other. I am the only one that knows all parties and do not promote the idea of ghost. Please with all your wisdom explain all activity reported by these people. Let me guess you are the only sane person alive.

Second, this house is a new one built on bare ground. There is no history and the parties involved don't know each other. I am the only one that knows all parties and do not promote the idea of ghost. I think I answered this. Sensory heuristics gone awry.Let me ask you something. Do you believe that what you see, feel and think are real? More exactly, do you think that what you experience is reality itself, unadulterated? This is important.In truth none of us has ever experienced reality without a filter. Our brain assembles what we sense into a reality that we know, but it is not an objective reality. This is why dyslexics see words backwards, why depressed and schizophrenic people can see things that are not real, but feel real. Our brain goes bad in those cases.Let me guess you are the only sane person alive.I probably am on the verge on insanity, but I am still correct about this.

Not on the verge, already there. Let me get this straight. You are always right and everybody else is wrong.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Not on the verge, already there. Let me get this straight. You are always right and everybody else is wrong.I have been mistaken and wrong on this website a few times, less than ten. If you compare that to the number of my posts including this one (2075), it means I am wrong less than 0.5% of the time. This means that for every two-hundred arguments I make, I am mistaken in one of them.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Math must not be your strong point, but then nothing is. Your effecinecy rating is 91% and so you must have been wrong at least 9% of the time. Not .5% and even this is subjected to popularity among your atheist butt buddies. Without the help of your other cult members this would be only a 60% instead of 91%
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Math must not be your strong point, but then nothing is.I prefer subtle insults. Crass insults like this denote a lack of thought.Your effecinecy rating is 91% and so you must have been wrong at least 9% of the time.Efficiency is calculated by a formula that weighs your current number of points by how many arguments you have made, roughly. If you'll note, I downvote and upvote people a lot, which means I spent points which lowers my efficiency. I should have around two-thousand or more points but as you can see, I vote a lot.Without the help of your other cult members this would be only a 60% instead of 91%My calculation in the last post was accurate. However, wait for my next two-hundred posts and you might spot an error.

I believe ghosts are real there are things to support it like at Gettysburg the limestone makes it perfect cause the brain has electromagnetic Waves which are at there at there peak at times of extreme stress and limestone is a good conductor so it is possible for it to store the energy at reproduce it thus ghosts
Debate: Are ghosts real

"Ghost" Is just another word form of "spirit", and as you SHOULD know, that there is evidence of spirits.I myself have had an encounter on a spirit.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

What evidence is there for the existence of spirits?..........
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Well, "evidence" is just something I named at last minute, but I've had personal experiences with spirits, which I just decided to call evidence.Though there is the 21 grams theory. This theory explains how that when you die, you lose 21 grams. These grams are believed to be the human soul. It is just a theory, however.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

I see. Personal experiences generally hold very little water as evidence, as there is no way for anyone else to determine the accuracy even if you are 100% certain of what happened.As for the 21 grams theory, it is far from conclusive. The experiment is over 100 years old and executed with suspect equipment and methods by a person with a distinct bias. Out of six subjects measured as they died on a scale, the data from two had to be discarded, and out of the remaining four, one lost weight immediately and stopped; one lost weight, gained it back, then lost it again; and yet another lost some weight immediately then proceeded to slowly lose a little more. No similar experiment has ever been conducted that corroborated or refuted the very limited and quite possibly faulty data.Also, doesn't it follow that if an object has weight, it has mass, and if it has mass, that mass must be located somewhere in the body and we would be able to percieve and measure it by other methods?http://www.snopes.com/religion/soulweight.asp

Exactly. I never really got into it, because I thought it was kind of silly.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

We are humans and most humans don't believe in something unless they have seen it,really the only exception is religion. However some humans claim to have seen ghosts, including my uncle. I believe my uncle, i know hes not crazy or a liar, which means that I believe in ghosts. However no one will never know, and therefore, I think that we all shouldn't dwell on it too much or we will just drive ourselves crazy.

About 22 percent of all Americans believed that they have experinced some paranormal activity.

The amount of people who believe in something, or how long they have believed it, has no effect at all on its existence or nonexistence.

I believe that there are ghost/spirit around us. I myself have encounter one but that just me. but at the end of this, people have many opinions about ghost/spirits but yet there is not that many evidence that they exist.

Just because you have no soul, doesn't mean eveyone has no soul.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Why do some people have souls and others do not? How does the possession of a soul translate into becoming a ghost after death?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Everybody has a soul, that was a joke. Ever hear of lost souls? Ghost?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Just because you have no soul, doesn't mean eveyone has no soul.It's a safe bet that souls do not exist and we're just big bags of water with brains.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

If we have no souls than love doesn't exist either, no soul mate. Without a soul mate there is no love. We cannot see love or even see the wind, but both exist. Your only fear is that you have a soul and will be condemned to hell. It is very doubtful that you have a brain, it is a safe bet that you are only made up of water.You are that miracle you so desire to believe in God, a man with no brain exist.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

Sight is not our only way of measuring things. Both love and the wind are measurable by multiple other methods. There is nothing mystical or magical about the wind, and the same is true for love. Just because it does not require a soul to exist does not mean love is any less real, profound, or intense. How do you know that everyone has a soul?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

How do you measure love? You said it can be measured.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

We can measure love by the physical effects of a person in the presence of the one they love. You release dopamine, adrenaline, and seratonin, your pupils can dilate, your heart rate can increase, certain parts of your brain become incredibly active, and so on. There is a reason they say love is a drug and it isn't a mystery why we feel great in the presence of the person we love. Parents and infants also exhibit concrete reactions in the brain when they are around each other, so it is not only romantic love that does things like this.http://www.nysun.com/national/love-activates-same-brain-areas-as-cocaine-study/48657/http://www.youramazingbrain.org/lovesex/ sciencelove.htm http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/001920.html Again, how do you know that everyone has a soul?

I suggest you quit looking at your sister, they can tell it's love.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: No

So your idea of a debate is avoiding a direct question, ignoring sources, and instead implying I have an incestuous relationship with my sister?
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

Facts don't lie, but figurers do. I can make any statistic work to by benefit. One simply cannot take into account all factors and so all results are formed on a bias. And if you worship whats its face, the incest went on for a long time in your household.

Which 'figurers' are lying, and what are your reasons for thinking so? And if you worship whats its face, the incest went on for a long time in your household.What?One more time, how do you know that everyone has a soul? I am asking out of genuine curiosity

If we have no souls than love doesn't exist either, no soul mate. Without a soul mate there is no love. We cannot see love or even see the wind, but both exist.We have brains. Those are responsible for love.Your only fear is that you have a soul and will be condemned to hell. You only deny that Djinn exist because you are afraid that they might cast a spell on you.It is very doubtful that you have a brain, it is a safe bet that you are only made up of water.We are all made up of mostly water.You are that miracle you so desire to believe in God, a man with no brain exist.God doesn't exist. Sorry.
Debate: Are ghosts real
Side: yes

I believe the possibilty that many things can exist and that includes Djinn. Take that and shove it in your pipe and smoke it.You never answer anything you just play with words. Learn that from David at the atheist convention. What am I saying, you haven't learned anything in your life.It is no shock that the miracle you claim is needed to believe is ignored by you. Where is that logic you keep saying you have? Maybe you never had it.

Now you go even farther into denying the exist of God that you fabricate a device in your mind to achieve this. You are clearly the logical one.The simple answer is that there is no logical evidence for god that holds under examination, neither has god been witnessed by a panel of scientists, neither is there empirical evidence of god. It all fails. So therefore I am perfectly justified in not accepting a god.

Just because you believe in something doesn't make it real. Say for example, I really believe that my orange is purple. My orange is never going to be purple (unless it was genetically modified). It's the same with ghosts. The fact that we believe in ghosts doesn't make it real. We need hard evidence. The hard evidence that my orange is purple is that it's sitting in front of me already geneticall modified.
