c67482ba-2019-04-18T13:32:05Z-00000-000 | Contraceptive Forms for High School Students | My opponent forfeited every round. None of my arguments were answered. I don’t like the idea of winning by default, but here we are.Tule: it’s good for students to get involved and address big issues like teen pregnancy. You need to be able to answer arguments like mine and not simply prepare for an abstinence-only typ... |
c67482ba-2019-04-18T13:32:05Z-00001-000 | Contraceptive Forms for High School Students | How do you propose the school will fund your program? Condoms cost money and checking an "opt out" list before handing them out takes time away from staff members whenever they could be doing their actual jobs. Your "opt out" option is only be a token to parental authority and would be easily subverted. If everyone in ... |
c67482ba-2019-04-18T13:32:05Z-00002-000 | Contraceptive Forms for High School Students | Schools have no compelling interest in providing contraceptives to students. The purpose of schools is not to provide healthcare nor to provide any other service except insofar as it relates to the furtherance of education [1,2,3], though I do not contest that individual districts ought to have this option if they so c... |
c67482ba-2019-04-18T13:32:05Z-00003-000 | Contraceptive Forms for High School Students | As a senior at my school. My group and I are focusing on teenage pregnancy; we are determined to have high school districts provide contraceptive forms to students to be safe about sex. This focus isn't for us to encourage to have sex, but if teenagers decide to have sex to please be safe about it. In addition. if pare... |
4d3d4471-2019-04-18T11:45:01Z-00000-000 | Australia should be a more significant country | The resolution used by Pro *assumes* that Australia isn't already a 'significant' country - however, in actual reality, it is. Firstly we should clarify what significance means: 1.a the state or quality of being significant1.b of consequence or importance==================================To respond directly to Pros arg... |
4d3d4471-2019-04-18T11:45:01Z-00001-000 | Australia should be a more significant country | First of all we invented amazing things like WiFi, Google Maps, Polymer bank notes (if you are American and do not know what they are, they are plastic WATERPROOF bills), Ultrasound scanners, stainless steel braces and many more things. Why put us into the shadow if we have made such amazing things the whole world uses... |

4d3d4471-2019-04-18T11:45:01Z-00003-000 | Australia should be a more significant country | Australia has always been put into the shadow behind countries like America, Canada and even England sometimes, I feel Australia should not be put in the darkness and in this debate I will tell you why. |

As such, I will not be posting new arguments in this round and will extend my previous arguments.

In addition, @FreedomEagle you do not have the right to shoot whoever you please, also due to the mentality you have shown yourself to possess, you should not be owning an assault rifle. Due to the lack of opposition in this debate, ... |
ede05d3d-2019-04-18T15:09:31Z-00001-000 | is homosexuality actually a sin | Thank you for concurring with me on this. However, this is not really a debate if both sides are in agreement. |
ede05d3d-2019-04-18T15:09:31Z-00002-000 | is homosexuality actually a sin | Murica, The 2nd amendment states the right to bear arms, and homosexuals have arms therefore homosexuality is not a sin as god gives me the divine right to shoot people who come on my lawn and the divine right to carry my M4 assault rifle. therefore homosexuality is not a sin. In conclusion Merica, Guns, 2nd Amendment,... |
ede05d3d-2019-04-18T15:09:31Z-00003-000 | is homosexuality actually a sin | The bible was written long ago when there was not a such a copious amount of scientific research, and as such the people then believed that homosexuality was a choice because there was nothing to prove otherwise. You must know that the holy bible was also written in societal morals, not only religious morals. For examp... |

Yeah I have a really, really bad habit of doing that in debates and ive been trying to kick it for a while now.... Unfortunately ive only made minor progress. |
9bb25fb0-2019-04-18T16:45:11Z-00001-000 | My Proposal for the Eradication of Extreme Poverty | You appear to be halfway insulting me and halfway arguing your case. However, your points are all valid. Therefore, I concede victory to you. |

The US and other countries don't have enough money: If done over a long period of time the money needed shouldn't overwhelm the nations doing the giving. 3.

f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00000-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | (See explanation in comments before reading.) Your argument in all of its forms is a proof by contradiction. First, I will address the original. I will only present the relevant lines in order to make it more readable: A - It is possible that a maximally great being exists, so it exists in some possible world. B - If i... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00001-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | This is a terrible parody. The reason why a MGB under the definition I presented applies to all possible worlds is because a property of a MGB as defined is that the explanation for its existence, if it actually exists, is necessary rather than contingent existence. If you define a MGB as one that is most "tolerable" o... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00002-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | Thank you for finally expressing your position on the use of the word "great." I do find it saddening that you have waited until round 4 to do so, but I hope that my points will become clear now that you have done this. You suggest that the argument proves the definition to which you appealed. This is true if and only ... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00003-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | I am sorry. You are not answering the argument. The argument does not rely on the individual definition of its parts. The definition of a MGB as defined by Alvin Plantinga, who developed this argument, is as was defined by me in round one. You are quibbling about nothing Extension One: Everyone can extend the argument ... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00004-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | Thank you for attempting to clarify this for me. I have indeed understood the argument, and I have spent the past two rounds explaining to you how crucial it is that you define the term "great." Unfortunately, you have still neglected to establish a definition. This is of prime importance in determining either the trut... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00005-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | I think you are not understanding the argument: I claimed that the definition, on which the Ontological argument relies, of a Maximally Great Being is a being who has the properties of omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence, and existence in every possible world. Now, based on that definition of a MGB, the argument ... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00006-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | “Right from the start I can make the clear extension of the Ontological Argument I offered. The reason is that even if everything you said is correct, the argument is still true, which means its conclusion is also true.” Unfortunately, your conclusion was not “There is a maximally great being,” but “There is a God,” wh... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00007-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | Thank you for the debate. Right from the start I can make the clear extension of the Ontological Argument I offered. The reason is that even if everything you said is correct, the argument is still true, which means its conclusion is also true. Notice how the definition I offered of a MGB is not part of the argument in... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00008-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | As a disclaimer, I agree that the ontological argument is a sound argument for a maximally great being. What I will be showing to be faulty is your definition of a maximally great being, and therefore your suggestion that this maximally great being is God. This will become clear in a moment. For the purpose of this arg... |
f4a9d491-2019-04-18T18:51:26Z-00009-000 | Resolved: The Ontological Argument is Sound | Framework: In order to show that the Ontological Argument is not sound, the CON must show that one of the premises of the argument is untrue. If all of the premises of the argument are true, the conclusion follows with necessity as it is a deductive argument. Observation One: 'Possible Worlds' are descriptions of reali... |
806480f-2019-04-18T20:02:33Z-00001-000 | We should a limited number of voters or limeted time on www.debate.org | Thanks for your attemopt and yeah you have a good point but i can deal with. I thought of this idea because of the nature of the debate or vote. When you have a debate with someone and there is no time limit for the voting period, it does not make sense because in that case there will not be a clear winner and and you ... |
806480f-2019-04-18T20:02:33Z-00002-000 | We should a limited number of voters or limeted time on www.debate.org | I will make an attempt to win this although it is set up extremely lopsided, towards the Pro. Because the website updates the statistics on your w/l record, it is not necessary for them to stop the voting at a certain time, so as to tally the results. By limiting the number of voters, you limit the selection of voters,... |
806480f-2019-04-18T20:02:33Z-00003-000 | We should a limited number of voters or limeted time on www.debate.org | I know most people here including myself are here to learn and dont really mind losing or winning a debate. Instead I wanna learn from others. I just think that during the voting period, we should have a limited numbers of voters or days to decide the winner and the loser. This will make the whole debating thing exciti... |
806480f-2019-04-18T20:02:33Z-00000-000 | We should a limited number of voters or limeted time on www.debate.org | Since you have mainly based your argument on the fact that you want to see who wins or loses, I will go over that first. First of all, the w/l record is constantly updated, so you don't have to go back and look to see if you won or lost constantly, secondly it is not that hard to go to your profile, and look through ea... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00007-000 | Cloning | Wouldn"t you feel better about yourself if you knew you could help thousands of people? I hope so. Now there"s cloning going on. I know some of you guys are thinking "Like in books and movies?!" My answer to that is no. You know what cloning is. And if you don"t cloning is when a cell, cell product, or organism is gene... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00000-000 | Cloning | There aren"t many cons to cloning? How about premature death, high rate of miscarriage, moral issues, very low success rate, and loss of individuality? It seems to me that there are quite a few. I can"t see how you think cloning is a solution for infertile couples. The only couples that would be able to afford it would... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00001-000 | Cloning | This is our last time to argue. I hope you think that cloning is good now. There aren"t many cons on cloning. All you can really do with the cons are write more details about them in depth. But for pros there are many. I will happily list some of them." Cloning might produce a greater understanding of the cause of misc... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00002-000 | Cloning | In my opinion, the cons of cloning outweigh the pros. So many things can go wrong, and so many eggs are needed to produce a clone, that you have to ask yourself: Is it really worth it? Personally, I would not want therapeutic cloning. I wouldn't want a woman to have to give up her eggs for my needs. Donating eggs for c... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00003-000 | Cloning | Cloning is only bad if you make it bad. You see, Cloning can help million and thousands of people. People with disabilities can be helped. I myself do not agree with making a race of perfect individuals. I feel like that is wrong. You are only looking at the negatives of cloning. I only wrote negatives in that paragrap... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00004-000 | Cloning | If you think cloning should be legal, then why are you contradicting yourself? You are saying that most think it is immoral, and that it goes against religious beliefs. This doesn"t sound like a "pro" side argument to me. Since I am strongly believe that cloning is wrong, a huge issue that I have with it is that it cou... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00005-000 | Cloning | The risks/cons for cloning are that there is a possibility of faster aging. This is because you are using an older cell to clone. Another risk is that it may reduce the overall value of human life. If you didn"t like your first child, you can try to make the perfect child with cloning. Another con is that there is a re... |
bd7e783e-2019-04-18T16:33:01Z-00006-000 | Cloning | Wouldn"t you feel bad about wasting the possibility of life with an unsuccessful cloning experiment? With the use of embryonic cells, we've been successfully cloning mammals since the mid-1980's, but the possibility of actually creating a clone goes from 0.1% to 3%. This means that for every 1000 attempts, 1 to 30 clon... |

This is why random people are selected to for the jury. But in survivor you have played the whole game with the people that are then voting on your fate.

a60d2aa5-2019-04-18T17:14:53Z-00001-000 | Russell Hantz Should Have Won Survivor: Samoa | 1. Initially, your argument that Russell lost because of the jury's decision makes some sense. However, we need to consider what a jury is. A jury is supposed to be an unbiased group of people making a decision about another person's fate. The jury should have objectively made a decision as to who played the best game ... |
a60d2aa5-2019-04-18T17:14:53Z-00002-000 | Russell Hantz Should Have Won Survivor: Samoa | I am not going to deny the Russell Hantz played a good game of Survivor, in fact, it most probably the most manipulative game that the series has ever seen. I also won't argue the point the Russell Hantz 'outwitted and outlasted' his opponents, as this is clearly evident by the fact that he made it to the final three a... |
a60d2aa5-2019-04-18T17:14:53Z-00003-000 | Russell Hantz Should Have Won Survivor: Samoa | I also want to point out that, as Russell Hantz made the Final Tribal Council, this debate solely is about the jury's decision. Yes, the Galu tribe would have been wise to vote Russell out at the merge, when it had a 8-4 numbers advantage. However, Russell was able to turn the tribe against each other, find hidden immu... |
a60d2aa5-2019-04-18T17:14:53Z-00004-000 | Russell Hantz Should Have Won Survivor: Samoa | Bring It OnI would like to point out that since Pro is arguing against the status quo, burden of proof is on them. |

They won't make it because these people used steriods and got a chance at getting ahead of them. How would the players know if steriods didn't effect the quality of their game, ther... |
ffd45b01-2019-04-18T18:54:19Z-00002-000 | Anybody who used performance enhancing drugs in the MLB shouldn't be elected to the Hall of fame | The Hall of Fame is merely glorifying the biggest money makers/employees of the league. Sure, you can romanticize baseball, but when it comes down to it, it is simply a business. If you let in the all the average players from the 25 year span of steroid prevalence, you are downgrading the overall quality of the Hall. Y... |
ffd45b01-2019-04-18T18:54:19Z-00003-000 | Anybody who used performance enhancing drugs in the MLB shouldn't be elected to the Hall of fame | No, they cheated therefore they shouldn't make the hall of fame. It doesn't matter if a lot of players did it. They cheated therefore they should be penalized. The people who make the Hall of Fame should be in there because of their honor to the game, not for cheating and deceiving people so they can have a physical ad... |
ffd45b01-2019-04-18T18:54:19Z-00004-000 | Anybody who used performance enhancing drugs in the MLB shouldn't be elected to the Hall of fame | Well, we meet again. If we were to prevent MLB players from entering the Hall of Fame because they used steroids; nearly every All-Star from 1980 to early 2000's would be ineligible. Take a look at the Mitchell Report, and you will find a list of incredible players which is far too long to list on here, who would all b... |
ffd45b01-2019-04-18T18:54:19Z-00005-000 | Anybody who used performance enhancing drugs in the MLB shouldn't be elected to the Hall of fame | Any athlete who uses performance enhancing drugs and has a good career should not be able to make the hall of fame. This includes Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds, and all the other players that used them. I believe that if you use these you are getting an advantage that everyone else isn't. They didn't hit all these home r... |

For 2, Religious minorities have not "flourished" under Islam. In fact, they have dwindled to mere shadows after centuries of persecution and discrimination. Some were converted from their native religion by brute force, oth... |
7eec18b5-2019-04-18T17:32:15Z-00001-000 | Islam is a religion of peace | There are some facts to what you said but most is speculation. However, you failed to address my other two points, and so the debate is won by default. 2. Religious minorities have flourished under Islam. Muslims are commanded to protect Jews and Christians (the People of the Book) and do them no harm. The Quran says i... |
7eec18b5-2019-04-18T17:32:15Z-00002-000 | Islam is a religion of peace | There shouldn't be any argument over who the "true Muslim" is because the Quran clearly distinguishes the true Muslim from the pretender in Sura 9 and elsewhere. According to this - one of the last chapters of the Quran - the true believer "strives and fights with their wealth and persons" while the hypocrites are thos... |
7eec18b5-2019-04-18T17:32:15Z-00003-000 | Islam is a religion of peace | 1. Muhammad was a peaceful man who taught his followers to be the same. Muslims lived peacefully for centuries, fighting only in self-defense, and only when it was necessary. True Muslims would never act aggressively. 2. Religious minorities have flourished under Islam. Muslims are commanded to protect Jews and Christi... |

780578ff-2019-04-18T13:30:33Z-00002-000 | The Universe Was Created By God | Everything that begins to exist has a cause. The beginning of time/space began to exist or be put into motion, thus there must be a cause. God is a self existing being who was not caused, thus needs no answer for a cause because He is uncaused. Con stated: "...every example of a computer we've ever known is designed by... |
780578ff-2019-04-18T13:30:33Z-00003-000 | The Universe Was Created By God | Thanks Pro for your response. I maintain that the universe was not created, because of the temporal problems of such a claim. Without a universe at [+0,-0], there is no stative time in order to correctly declare that a temporal process, creation, occurred; no time, no creation, no creator. But Pro doesn't seem to see i... |
