Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

It is called Sharia law, and there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to assume that a Muslim president would be more likely to implement Sharai law in the U.S. than would a Christian president be to implement a national Church. I do not want Sharia law in the U.S., but I do not confuse that issue with the candidate's viability. In other western democracies where Sharia law has been slowly implemented this did not arise because the PM or other elected officials were Muslim, it happened because the citizens were not safeguarding their civil rights and liberties against one particular type of extremism (and mind you there are many - in all religions and within political groups as well).
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Sure

No True Scotsman fallacy.
Debate: Would you be okay with a Muslim President?
Side: Not at all

The U.S. Constitution could not stand as the law of the land under Islamic Rule. It guarantees of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness a direct opposition to Sharia Law. The day that happens the USA will cease to exist as a free nation.Ever see Happy people in an Islamic Country? Better question: Ever see happy non-muslim (Christian, Jewish) people in an Islamic Country - oh thats right there are none - they are all killed for their beliefs.

Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Personally I see it as a mental sport. It is a mentally challenging game that requires key movements, excellent anticipation skills, and some great strategies and some tactical awareness of the board.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

For lack of a better word "Activity" instead of sport.........
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

It is a sport. It is an activity.

Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?

I support ^ ,Chess is a mental sport that takes skill, anticipation and strategy, P.S anyone want to challenge me hit me up, I have a ventrilo ,skype to play some games with live chat.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

The game combines high-intensity movements with sustained efforts, building strength and endurance https://cricfacts.com/icc-mens-t20-world-cup-schedule-venue-and-team-list/,  making players more resilient.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Sports are physical, sorry.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Sport: Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. If they even lift a finger and its conpetitive I will call ot a sport. Chess can be deemed as a sport. The brain is going through some physical things. Technically its physical. So it can be called a sport. You have to physically move the pieces and by that we can call it a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

If they even lift a finger and its conpetitive I will call ot a sport.That's cool, but you would be wrong. I don't mind you being wrong.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

It is officially deemed as a sport. Thats the thing. Multiple federations support chess and they all see it as a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Well going by Google definition Sport; An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.Physical Exertion; physical effort, to strain or stress You shouldn't be straining or stressing yourself to lift a finger. We can all agree that should be a very strain-less task.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Chess isn't just lifting a finger. Chess is extremely straining, it is legitimately exhausting.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Yes mentally exhausting not physically exhausting. The body and mind work as one. When the mind "runs out of fuel" the body fails to act. When the body becomes strained from physically workout the mind may fail to function properly, but then to further explain any of this I would have to get into psychology, human anatomy etc. (because some people actually innately get energy and function better from physical exerting themselves), but ain't nobody got time for dat.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

You said physical exertion is straining, you did not specify mental or physical. The point is, they're very related. Just a short passage from an article by Rune Vik-Hansen: "However, today we know that any corporeal motion starts off with electric impulses subconsciously triggered in the oubliettes of the brain. The brain processing a 100 million million (0.1 quadrillion) instructions per second (daily activities) and the speed of thought clocked in to somewhere between 0.5-100 m/s (between 550 and 750 milliseconds for the information or perception of something to reach the brain and to be comprehended and interpreted), testify to motion. Because external corporeal motion, arms and legs, depends on internal cerebral motion, not yet clear is why external corporeal motion should weigh heavier concerning the definition of sports or athletics.In other words, there is no principal difference between Magnus lifting his arm and sacking a kniggeth or Petter (Northug, Norwegian cross-country skier) lifting his poles and stroking himself forward; both actions spring from subconsciously triggered impulses in the brain. Strokes and chess moves have the same source. And voila! We have compared apples with oranges!We may therefore conclude that the definitions of sports and athletics are not based on what is really going in but on what we observe and stem from a time before organised tournament chess and insights into the brain. We see arms and legs but not neurons and synapses."
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Since we are considering all of those facts and details we can now consider video games as sports. Playing Soul Calibur or any fighting/button smashing games, remembering all those tough combos and being able to chain them together with heighten reflexes is extremely tough. It just looks like games, but there is a whole lot more going on within the body that can be seen by the naked eye. And you may think the game is easy, but you are just not playing a tough opponent.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

I wouldn't disagree with that. Although the challenge of those games doesn't measure up to chess, I certainly see where you're coming from.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

You are oly measuring the physical quantities visible to the eye. Wht about the real players? The neurons and synapses?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

So, things can only be sports once enough people play it and create a federation to pretend it is a sport. Sport: anything a federation says is a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Again. Completely missedy argument. Must I highlight it for you?If you are only going to deem something a sport because of its physical appearance to the eye that is improper. One should judge it by the true physical activity in the brain between the Neurons and Synapses.Please, stay with my argument. This is the true physical reactions in the brain. This should deem what can be a sport and what could not.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

How do you define mental then? The firing of Neurons and Synapses does not count as physical. Your argument is invalid.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

If they even lift a finger and its conpetitive I will call ot a sport.Competitive chair-sitting or bed-lying seem like nice sports as well. The winner is the one most resistant to pressure ulcers.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

It is an organized event with multiple federations backing it up? Or are you just going for the slick comment?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Well, I am just trying to illuminate that with what you said, you aren't far from classifying chair-sitting as a sport. I mean in all honesty, if I am going through my tenth hour of sitting, looking my opponent intensely in the eye, wouldn't it be a sport in some weird sense?I don't think we would call it a sport, we would call it ridiculous. And I don't think it's because there isn't multiple federations backing chair-sitting up. I think it's because you aren't moving around like you are when playing football. Chess may be tough on your body, it may promote useful skills like sequential thinking, but the same goes for chair-sitting. It is tough on your body and it promotes resistance to pressure ulcers. Why won't we consider chair-sitting a sport then? Because we aren't moving around when we play chair-sitting, therefore it isn't a sport. Equally, chess shouldn't be considered a sport for the same reason. You aren't moving around a lot when you play chess.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Find me a chair sitting federation. Then show me where they deem it as a sport. Chess may be tough on your body, it may promote useful skills like sequential thinking, but the same goes for chair-sitting. It is tough on your body and it promotes resistance to pressure ulcers. Why won't we consider chair-sitting a sport then? Because we aren't moving around when we play chair-sitting, therefore it isn't a sport. Equally, chess shouldn't be considered a sport for the same reason. You aren't moving around a lot when you play chess.I highly disagree. For one a typical human will only deem chess as something below the sport because the quantity of effort isnt visible. Neurons and synapses are highlu active in a chess game but since we do not see them we just assume it isnt a sport? Is there a chair sitting federation? Highly doubt. Could it be a sport? Look at the activity between neurons and synapses and tell me. Judging a sport by only what the eye can see isn't a fair system of judgment.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

I highly disagreeNo you aren't disagreeing with me. I agree with you that chess is physically tough. For one a typical human will only deem chess as something below the sport because the quantity of effort isnt visible. Actually I read somewhere that world finals in chess are about as demanding as running a marathon. Chess is indeed tough. But notice that chair-sitting is also tough, it even succeeds in your neuron and synapses challenge (sitting for tenths of hours still would require tremendous self control, which means that we are forcing our brain to work in a specific way; just like with chess). But dispite the fact that chair-sitting gets an A+ for our challenge, we still wouldn't call it a sport. What I am saying that the most obvious explanation for we wouldn't call chair-sitting a sport is because it doesn't imply movement of the body. There could be other reasons, like the fact that there isn't a chair-sitting federation, yet I don't think that's such a good explanation. Football would still be a sport if only two guys were playing it in the world. So if we are going to accept the 'you aren't moving your body in chair-sitting' explanation, then you should equally apply that explanation to chess. If you want to maintain that chair-sitting isn't a sport while chess still is then you need to find another explanation that makes chair-sitting not a sport.

Judge it by the neurons and synapses activity and deem it as you which. However chess regardless of what people say is still a sport. Chess fires the neurons and synapses into high gear. That is why I call it a sport. If you can show me that chair sitting uses as many neurons as a regular sport I will believe you.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Chess fires the neurons and synapses into high gear. That is why I call it a sport. If you can show me that chair sitting uses as many neurons as a regular sport I will believe you.I think that's a sensible position to take. Maybe it would be a good idea to describe in detail how intense the mental activity should be in order for something to be a sport, but I don't know how we would go about doing that. Also, I have no clue how mentally tough chair sitting would be. :)
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Why does it keep doing this??...
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Because those two involve so much effort. Don't be ridiculous.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Oh and what the brain is doing is chemical not physical mam'
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Your brain is making all that physical appearance of power work. The brain is rsesponsible. Chess works the brain just like athletics. It is a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

If they even lift a finger and its conpetitive I will call ot a sport.Competitive chair-sitting or bed-lying seem like nice sports as well.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Exactly. The amount of physical exertion that chess entails is enormous. I've seen quite a few overweight players who drop out of tournaments simply because they lack the physical stamina necessary to perform.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

That makes everything a sport than. Just because it is competitive doesn't make it a sport. Are you saying as long as fat people are unable to do it, it is a sport?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

That's hardly my point. Of course competition does not imply sport. Why do you think it is that many fat people can't do it?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Of course competition does not imply sport.Everything involves moving, we haven't developed virtual reality. So, anything competitive would involve a physical aspect as well. Therefore, yes you are saying that competition implies sport.Why do you think it is that many fat people can't do it?I have no idea, you haven't actually described how it is physical in any way. For all we know, it is mental exhaustion. And, fat people are just not good with exhaustion.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Is everything held under a legitimate organized federation or are you just convinced chess isnt a sport?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

It is not a legitimate organization if they are going to cheat and call themselves a sport.I am not convinced of anything. Chess is not a sport.A sport has to be a sport before some lame ass federation comes out and says it is a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Chess can get physical ;)
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Once you start punching the guy who beat you in chess it becomes physical, but it is no longer chess, sorry.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

One needs to be fit to be mentally alert and the body is affected by a weekend of sitting in a tournament. Due to it's competitiveness it can be considered as a sport. Who can forget that cold war match between brilliant Bobby Fischer and the legendary Russian GrandMaster.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Yes! I have been playing competitively in tournaments for years and I can honestly say the atmosphere, competitive nature, and physical demands are very similar to other sports. Lizzie is absolutely correct.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

What actual competitive sports have you played to compare the physical nature of chess?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Varsity basketball, club soccer, club baseball and even more if you consider when I was a little kid.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

You are seriously going to come on here and say that a chess tournament is physically like playing varsity basketball? Come on man.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Have you played either? What's wrong with my assertion?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

I have played competitive basketball. I have played chess, but not competitively. The only way chess could be anywhere close to that is adding in a treadmill.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

If you have never experienced an actual competitive chess tournament, you can't really make that call. Even at the top level, training routines consist of a great deal of running and fitness, which can be attributed to the physical nature of competing.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Just because physical activity helps promote brain health and your competition requires a strong mind does not mean that a mind competition suddenly becomes a physical sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Until you have played a competitive game for 12 hours straight you won't understand, it's a unique kind of physical demand. I'm on your side, chess isn't a sport, but don't say it isn't physically demanding until you try it.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Oh, I guess going to work is now a sport too because it is physically exhausting.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

That's not the argument I am making. They exercise to prepare for the physical demands of playing such straining games.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

No, they exercise because sitting at a chess table is not great cardio.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

That may also be part of it. It may not be good cardio, but it's still physically exhausting.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

The brain controls a vast amount of what the body feels. How do you know that it is physically exhausting?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

I've experienced it. That's why I'm pretty adamant in this debate. I would hardly say that I'm an exception either.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Were you sore the next day? Muscle cramps?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Not really. Interestingly enough, players often get up and walk around while it's their opponent's turn.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Not really.Sounds like mental exhaustion then. Maybe it is less physical than you make it out to be.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Why must decreased function levels of muscles only be deemed physical exhaustion if those muscles have been overworked?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Why must you insist that we get rid of the physical/mental terminology?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Physicality is the only argument against it. Chess is back by a few federations and is held world wide and each federation deems it as a sport. What defines a sport? All of them are games aren't they? Are of them required participation? Do they all require teamwork? No. Neurons and synapses should judge the action as a sport. But we only see arms and legs so since American are obsessed with seeing the measurements themselves people dont seem chess as a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Sport: Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Your definition of sport requires physicality. I am not sure why I should read the rest of your post.But, I did. Just because I say something is a sport does not make a sport. So, just because a federation says it is a sport doesn't mean it is a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

You failed to realize my main argument. It is not a fair process of judgment to judge what is a sport by only what the eye can see. You should be thanking the Synapses and Neurons for what they do. That should judge what is a sport and what not. That is a true basic physical feat of power. Not some false embodimemt of judgment.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

Physicality may be the only argument against, however the definition of a sport is that it involves physical exertion.

Well Chess in considered a sport by the Internation Olympic Community. Bridge is also considered a sport.

Really, I don't remember anyone winning the gold medal in chess. Why is that?
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

chess couldn't be considered as a physical sport. but it can be called a mental sport. it does cause exertion mentally.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

chess is not a physical spot but it is a mental sport.. :)
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

A sport doesn't have to be something that you have to move around and be active. It can be a mind sport. For example, debating is also considered as a sport, so right now we all are actually playing a sport. Chess is likewise the same. It also is a sport for the mind. How? It is because it makes you think harder and more logically, therefore i consider it as a sport.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: No

A sport doesn't have to be something that you have to move around and be activeThat's part of the definition of sport. <.<Debating is not a sport. It doesn't matter how many consider it a sport.Calling something a "mind sport" is an oxymoron.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Sport always increase some people's skills. it doesn't mean that sport should increase ONlY physical skills. Chess requires the ability to keep calm for a very long time. so chess' players HAVE TO work hard to improve that ability. This is not counting the fact that they have to CONSTANTLY develop their minds. So if other sportsmens day by day are improving their Physical skills, chess players are improving their mental skills with the same diligence
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

Chess is a game that has lasted for more than a millenium, and it takes an immense amount of brain power to play. Chess is an incredible strategy game that takes a lot of skill, and the best part is that it doesn't matter what physical strength you have.
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?
Side: Yes

it requires the same strength corporation team,work [if in a team ] but the twist to it is that its done mentally
Debate: Would you consider chess a sport?

I would consider Chess a sport because there is competition in the game.
