SpongeBob SquarePants should be taken off the air
For
I call off this debate and I am letting the voters choose
We all know people SpongeBob is for kids. Well here is some news for some of you all about it SpongeBob. SpongeBob has been aired in many places. SpongeBob has killed childhood minds by watching it. Parents who let there kids watch SpongeBob for maybe an hour or so might not be…
Against
Thank you for coming back, however the final round is a bit late to cancel a debate. Conclusion:Sponge Bob is not a horrible show, as clearly demonstrated by it's roll in inspiring source 3 (the YouTube video). Sponge Bob should not be removed, as it still makes the network a…
Extend all arguments...As Gohan12345 (pro) is online right now, I hope for a good R3 argument from him.

Rocky is the greatest sports movie ever made
For
As an avid movie goer , I am still struck by the fact that I still after all these years have not seen a film that I enjoyed more than Rocky Rocky - a guy from the wrong side of the tracks , a man with a good heart , who finally gets a chance to make it big Adrian- shy girl…
While I would agree that Raging Bull was an excellent film , I feel it was very different from Rocky in many ways. 1) It was about a real person 2) It was hardly an uplifting film 3) It show Lamotta as a violent wife beater who could not really control his anger It was a…
Against
I agree with every one of your points. However, our definition of 'best' is what differs. As I stated before, Rocky may be the most entertaining movie about boxing. However, using Merriam-Webster's definition of best, we must choose the movie which is "better than all others in…
I almost overlooked this debate, but I would hate to look back one day and realize that I 'could've been the contender'. Rocky is, undeniably, your stereotypical feel-good underdog boxing film. It separates itself from other movies in its genre by also being an excellent…

Teens over 13 should be allowed to buy M-rated games
For
Studies show that most teenagers will use violent and M-Rated games to vent anger(1). This is a positive way to vend unlike some teens that may drink, smoke, or cause physical damage to others. 2 thirds of boys play M-Rated games regularly and over 1 fourth of girls will play…
Against
How unfortunate. I'm sure my opponent was occupied with other matters (playing Rated M games, perhaps). I won't make new arguments that my opponent wouldn't have any chance to rebut and that would be unfair. Also, what I said in the previous round made no sense. Disregard that.…
If my opponent fails to say anything in the following round, I will allow more to be said in my argument as a rebuttal and conclusion to whatever points my opponent may bring up, as well as prove that all my stated points are correct.

Dragon Ball Z and GT are overrated
For
I call into question a few of your statements: This is a typical problem with every anime show created. the reason for this is because the animes are created to please the fans of the series. i wouldnt say DragonBall Z is the worst offender of it.Yes, it can be argued that…
Thank you for taking me up on my debate. I wish you good luck Biggtime. I would like to start by launching into seven key points regarding the many weaknesses of this anime.1. TOO MUCH EXPOSITION! The biggest problem with Dragonball Z that even hardcore fans complain about is…

Frozen is a better Disney film than The Lion King
For
disney frozen is an amazing movie. The reason is that the plot is amazing and no one dies at the end. Anna does turn to ice. But she lives in the end
disney frozen is an amazing movie
Against
I've only got 500 characters for this, I'm going to use Rnd 5 for rebuttal, and these rounds for points. On IMDb, where users and professional critics vote, Frozen received 7.9, the Lion King got 8.5 On Rotten Tomatoes, (ditto)Frozen received 89%, the Lion King got 90%. On…

Recent Spider-Man movies are better than older ones
For
We could not make movies without technology, so it absolutely makes a good movie. Every movie ever made was made using technology, so even though the movies that have one awards in the past were still made using technology. Yes movies are great because of the plot, and I would…
Con does say that personal preference is not enough to win a debate, yet he prefers Cliff Robertson over Martin Sheen and that makes a point in his argument to say that as well. Technology is absolutely what makes a great movie. Movies are getting better and better as the…
Against
Pro says "We could not make movies without technology, so it absolutely makes a good movie." Movies are made with technology… that is true about all movies. Great movies and bad movies are made with technology. If technology is present in both, it is reasonable to say that…
Pro says "Technology is absolutely what makes a great movie. Movies are getting better and better as the technology advances. They are able to do bigger and better things which is what makes a movie more interesting to watch." Technology can be a benefit to movies. Technology…

Television series negatively affect children
For
I agree with you on the stance that with moderation, television viewing might do some amount of good to children. But let me ask you, in this fast moving world, where our livelihood has become our prime concern and with no other people to rely on but yourself, who can strike…
Children in all age groups are affected by the adverse effects of television. From toddlers to teens, television series have a detrimental effect; for example toddlers' brain development is impended by watching television, as it hampers the effective time spent by them in…
Against
I'm so glad you agree with me, it makes this process a lot easier for me. I'm going to utilise this round to rebutt your previous argument.What do you mean we have no-one to rely on but ourselves? Children have parents, and if not then some form of carer or guardian. If a…
Television viewing absent of moderation is bad for the human body - along with everything else on this planet. However, with control over viewing time, it has been proven that television can positively impact a child.For example, many widely viewed television series have been…

Batman's vigilante actions are justified
For
I do appreciate it. As a brief roadmap, I will start by rebuilding my own case and then move on to attack my opponent's. First off, he dropped my value/criterion block, meaning that they are important to be upheld. He also never says how I fail to uphold them, giving me the…
To preface this debate let me ask that we keep the limits of the round within the world created by director Christopher Nolan, for the comic books have to many different interpretations have conflicting plot lines at time. Some comic books would be argued over if they are…

I will begin by thanking axM62 for this debate. ----- I apologize for not addressing his value "block"; I have only been trained in parliamentary debate and have not been trained in LD debate; as a result, I did not know to address it. Before I move on, I would like to clarify…
I would like to begin by thanking axM62 for this debate. ----- I negate the resolution "The actions of the vigilante known as Batman are justified". ----- I will now refute my opponent's contentions. 1: My opponent claims that vigilantism was necessary on Mr. Wayne's part due…

The Call of Duty franchise is no longer fun
For
The Call Of Duty gaming franchise is no longer entertaining. It seems that it is the same game being released every year. There are only minor differences between them now. Ever since the first MW and MW2, the games have become a "DLC Fest" and there is a bombardment of…
I see your argument and I agree with that aspect of the game, but I am primarily talking about how DLC has gotten out of hand and that it seems in my opinion, that it is the same game every year. If you look at the differences between Advanced Warfare and BO3, it seems that…
Against
ok, you win
COD, its fun, you have a great argument, but listen up, people still play it, and they have lots of fun, yea hackers have ruined some parts of the game, but they cant ruin the whole game, you have zombies, private matches, or you can do glitches on the game, theirs a lot to…

Disney's Frozen is better than the Broadway musical Shrek

Disneys Frozen was better than shrek ever
Shrek is the most stupidest thing I have ever seen in my life the music is amazing and the costumes are also amazing by the way Shrek is on Broadway and that was a stupid thing to do.

Modern radio music is worse than older music
For
Though I actually do find today's modern music to be of very bad taste and probably have a taste in music that dates beyond anyone on this forum, I have to say that I am FOR modern music on the radio. Like it or not, this garbage music appeals to the majority of people, and the…
I empathize with you, but it's not really that people are inactive, it's just that people would much rather be debating than reading other debates. I do vote, but I rarely venture outside the first few topics on the news page. Sorry you had to forfeit and I hope you do decide…
Against
My claim is that modern-day pop and rap music on the radio is unhealthy, misleading, and generally bad for society- assuming that we would all want to strive to achieve a better one.
Read post below please... Anxiously awaiting my opponent's response! Lol... what!? 100 characters! Rediculous...

Children should not be allowed to watch R-rated movies
For
Introduction: Rated-R movies harm the mental health of children. Studies have proven the dramatic negative effects of rated-R movies on children. My three arguments are that: 1. rated-R movies cause mental and emotional scars to children. 2. rated-R movies promote illegal…
Against
Hi and thanks for starting the debate! I hereby accept your challenge. Generally the first round is only for acceptance, so I won't start my formal argument and gain an unfair advantage. I find this an interesting topic and look forward to debating. Good luck!
My opponent forfeited both her rounds. My previous argument stands. Please vote in my favor. Thanks!

Zombie video games should stop being made
For
REVIEWING THE DEBATE: I. Con's arguments: 1) Scenario Con said here that you can still come up with original scenario's here and still make a good game. His example for originality was "walking dead" (the show!). I have countered that by saying two things: A. pretty much every…
I don't know how to change formats... PRO'S CASE 1) scenario. Pro agrees that the scenario has become quite repetetive. However, he uses "walking dead" as an example for games that vary from the original. I think he means "WD: survival instinct" here and not "the walking dead".…
Against
Alright, closing arguments. Best of luck. My Arguments: Scenario: I was, in fact, talking about the tv show (not a video game). While this has no bearing on a currently released video game, it does prove that interesting stories can still be written with the topic. Video games…
I hope you don't mind if I borrow your format for the entries. It's rather tidier than mine. Reinforcement: While the zombie scenario may not be totally original, there are many stories that could be conjured up, and really rather easily. I do agree that the stereotypical…

Iron Man is a better superhero than Batman
For
Iron man is a billionaire, playboy, genius, and has the Iron man suit, which is a lot cooler than a guy running around a city with a cape, trying to be a bat.
Batman sucks. Your move.
Against
This sounds like it would be a hilarious, and possibly enlightening, debate. So I gladly accept. This will also be my first debate. So, just to clarify my argument as you did yours: Iron Man's awesomeness is not discernibly higher than Batman's in terms of either canon or…
Due to Thecomeback lacking a comeback, I'll just wrap this up with a summarization of my points. 1) My opponent has failed to prove that Iron Man is better in versatility of resources, despite Pro's attempts. 2) Batman's character and backstory is much more intriguing. That's…

The Beatles are the most influential band in history
For
Although this debate is finished I thought I would good give my final thoughts. Yes Queen is a terrific band, but we were debating who was a more influential band. From the support given by both sides I'd say it is quite clear that The Beatles are the most influential band in…
Influence: the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of others. Queen was a great band, no doubt about it. You can even say Queen was an influential band. But the question at hand is "Who…
Against
It's not necessarily true to say without the British Invasion Queen wouldn't have formed. Perhaps their success in America would've come later in their career, but even if The Beatles never formed or came to America, Queen still could've formed. It's safe to say the Invasion…
I will debate that Queen is the most influential band in history. They revolutionized music, basically creating their own genre, while influencing generations to come with music still extremely popular today.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was a good film adaptation
For
I would like to begin this round by pointing out that Con agreed with my entire statement on the book and movie overview and correlation. We both agree that the book and the movie follow the same basic plot line. That said, I will now address Con's arguments, refute them, and…
Let's get the debate underway! First of all, I would like to begin by saying that the movie was not absolutely perfect. The film was not a word for word direct transition from the book. That is granted. However, I will be arguing how much of the storyline and the themes…
Against
Here we go with the second half of the third round! In this half, I will go over the arguments presented by Pro and do my best to refute them and show you that they actually support the Con side. Lets get started!1. Edmund and his quest to be king. Pro's argument was basically…
I would also like to say that I agree with that entire statement and hopefully will not be an issue in this debate. I will be going over the arguments presented by Pro and talking about them one by one and show you how they actually favor the con side of the issue. Lets get…

Santa Claus exists and delivers presents
For
First of all, con, ave Ceasar!!!!!! Alright, my only argument is that presents are under the Christmas tree the same day every year and nobody knows how they get there. We go to bed and, when we wake up, we have presents and egg nog and booze. Con can not say that parents buy…
Anyone who is literate has read the title of this debate, and knows that this should be taken with more seriousness than any other debate on this website. The existence of god is not even in the same league of importance as the existence of Santa. Santa will be defined as the…
Against
My only rebuttal to my opponent's paragraph of nonsense is as follows: yes, I have witnessed adults wrap presents and put them under the Christmas tree only to have their children open them the next morning. You made an assumption about my own life experiences, and used no…
Now, let me begin by stating that I am 100% against the existence of Santa Claus. I don't think he does exist, but even if he did, I would want to see to it that he no longer does. The "motherf**ker" is a capitalist lie, and I think it's immoral that we deceive our children…

Pokémon encourages animal abuse among children
For
With all due respect to my opponent, the way he says it is as if he has personally seen every single person who has played Pokemon have not committed any animal abuse. How do you measure that? If a person derives pleasure just by seeing animals getting hurt, wouldn't you say…
Thank you for accepting. Rebuttals: My opponent says that the fan base is getting older. He brings up his evidence. Of course the fanbase is getting older since the generation which was first to receive Pokemon is getting older. My opponent says these adults are not doing…
Against
For the final round, I will do one more major rebuttal and conclude this debate.My opponent mainly states that Pokemon does cause animal abuse with the following quote: "Essentially, what I am saying is just because you don't see the headlines in the news doesn't mean people…
I will post my opponents statements in italics and rebuttal against themOf course the fanbase is getting older since the generation which was first to receive Pokemon is getting older. My opponent says these adults are not doing violent acts. I feel this is outside the scope of…

Master Chief would defeat the Predator
For
Thanks Con for taking this debate. Now that we have the Internet and wonderful Japanese Fembots we don't need women anymore. So stay a virgin and stay a nerd. Definitions: P1- Predator the Movie, P2 –Predator 2, AVP Alien v: Predator, AVP2 Alien v: Predator 2 Requiem. Master…
I assert that the Master Chief aka John 117 from the Halo Universe would easily defeat any Predator from any Predator movie or comic. Novels, comics, any story cannon is allowed.
Against
You've insulted Predators? oh it is ON! Nerd-mode engage, powering up primary virginity drives. Aside from the fact that, unlike the Covenant, the Predator species isn't pants-on-head retarded, you really have to consider how different Predators are versus MC. For one thing,…
Pro has, to his credit, already sent me a message apologising for this post. In the spirit of fair play I'm gonna disregard that argument entirely and let him elaborate on the points made and any others he has in the final round. Round 4 does not exist. Round 4 has never…

Modern pop music is inferior to classic music
For
Hi! Welcome to my debate. If you accept this debate, you will be arguing that Pop Music is superior to Classic Music, specifically the era of 60's to 80's. For the purpose of this debate, modern pop can be defined as popular music from the 21st century. The first round is…
I will now explain why I have won this debate, though it should be obvious to anyone voting. I put forth several good reasons to support my argument, that Pop is inferior to Classic music, none of which were negated. My opponent put forth no good arguments and therefore I, by…
Against
Personally I believe you cannot compare the two genre's because they are two totally different genre's in different time period. I actually enjoy classical music a lot more than most pop but its hard to compare genres all together because there are so many artists and composers…

Console gaming is better than PC gaming
For
The mouse and keypad is very hard to get used to although it is good for aiming on FPSs the keypad is the downfall of it the "WASD" control wears out your hands quickly and the fact you can't slow down by pressing it half-way. The console analog sticks are great for moving but…
Round 1 will be introducing yourself 2 will be controls of a game 3 will be the raw power 4 will be the price. I am a console gamer and a PC gamer I prefer consoles since I'm better with a controller. But now a days if a game is also on PC every so often a PC gamer will come on…
Against
Hello I will accept because I am an avid PC gamer don't worry I won't call you a "peasant" or "noob" because that would completely undermine my argument and it is ignorant to not listen to others opinions whether you believe them or not.
You make valid points while some of what you said was right if you actually use a PC for gaming in particular you would generally build it to fit your needs building a computer outfitted for gaming can be expensive. yet it lasts longer then most consoles are out a lot of games…

LEGO sets are only meant for young children
For
If you're so confident about winning, what was the point of this? "Try rebutting that"? You clearly aren't interested in debating this. You either wanted to justify you playing with kiddy toys, or try and get an ego boost from thinking you're right. Vote Nil.
The stop motion videos are usually not very good and made by older children (there are exceptions, of course). Businesses and architects generally use a 3D program, which is more precise. Lego do not follow a very coherent scale and are not detailed enough to actually build…
Against
The way I described them as being used for businesses, is how you sometimes see diagrams or tiny structures in store walls. And have you ever been to Lego land before? They have TONS of theses structures, life size, and scaled down all over the park. What some people would do…
I don't think you understood what I was talking about in the second part of the argument. People can use them in very creative ways to help a business, build a model, or even make videos. Besides, if someone wanted to build an Empire State Building replica, than it would be…

Fallout: New Vegas is the best video game ever
For
When you say that it hadn't fixed many of its bugs, it is not an add-on. You can't fix add-ons to a game that happened before. Even though it indeed does have bugs, all games have bugs. The more complicated and complex a game is, the more bugs it has. Fallout 3 had much longer…
Fallout New Vegas is an open play game with large places, many quests, and fun activities. You can gamble, fight enemies with weapons, special abilities, or physically, travel to wide open lands, do many quests, and many different varieties of guns. What makes this the best…

Since the round has been forfeited by Fallshock (most likely time ending) I will just post my sources. http://fallout.wikia.com... http://www.ign.com... http://fallout.bethsoft.com...
To end the radroach debate: "does have Radroaches because I have killed a few." Emphasis on the few. The New Vegas players had anticipated the game, but I bet from the many bugs it had, they would have waited more so it could only have one or two. One bug I have encountered has…

Online games like Neopets are a bad influence on children
For
My opponent has already conceded that the Luck and Chance category games are bad. "It may have a negative category" He defends this though by implying that if kids really did want to play gambling games they do not have to go to neopets. I got to say this is a really weak point…
FYI: Your youtube link don't work Rebuttal 1 Luck and Chance Kids create accounts without their parents knowing. Why not lie and say your 13 to get access to all features of the game? Parents are not going to monitor their kids 24/7. I started playing neopets in 3rd grade, I…

Thank you. My opponent said began by making a long statement about games of luck and chance in Neopets. First of all, I must say that my opponent has argued too subjectively. He speaks of himself not wanting his kids to be influenced by this or that. Where are studies showing…
Thank you. -- Rebuttals -- 1. Children sneaking to gamble I said that parents can create accounts for their children. If they do that, not all children would try to make other accounts, especially if they achieve a lot in their pre-existing accounts that they do not want to…

Disney is not wholesome entertainment for children

Well, I think we both have some pretty good points here, so I'll just have to wait for the voting period to see who wins. Thanks for the debate. :)
About the Male Dominance, have you ever noticed that the man is usually saving the woman? (Ex. Tarzan and every Disney movie with a princess. ) The woman is usually portrayed as a defenseless and weak until the man can save her. There are few movies where the woman is the hero,…
Against
sounds good to me, thanks for the debate
Again about the male dominance, having a woman needing saving is not showing that only men can dominate because other movies send other messages. You rejected the example of mulan because she pretends to be a man but that is the key reason it is not about male dominance. She…

Firstly, I would like to state i'm sorry for not responding last round, I was in a coma. I am going to be saying my rebuttals to your rebuttals because your points were lies and just plain wrong. Rebuttal to Point #1: You have taken my point out of context saying that "A PC…
PC Gaming is far superior to Console Gaming and here are the reasons why: 1. Easily change the internals to make them better, for one example, the graphics card. By changing/upgrading a graphics card it greatly can increases the performance and experience of gaming. You can do…

I'm sorry to hear that, good luck and I hope you get better soon. Thank you to my opponent for responding. Rebuttal to Point #1: In a debate, one must always make themselves clear, as to what they are trying to say. Nothing is "obvious". My opponent mentioned this in their…

One should read the book before watching its film adaptation
For
I see the point you have made. However you have to look at the other sides. The movie could end up horrible. Perfect example, in my opinion, Eat Pray Love. Wonderful story of a woman finding herself on three major adventures. When you watch the movie, you see a lot of the main…
I will begin this debate by stating that while a movie is given the supremacy of visual stimulation, it is however limited in relations of needing to convey a story mainly through dialogue. Constructing that change from words to a visual in addition to dialogue is not as simple…
Against
Well, I agree that reading books is better for you than watching movies. It increases your vocabulary and your memory.But movies and books aren't related. Every person should probably read a book and make thier own movie.
Have you seen the movies lately? 10 years ago, I probably would have agreed with you. Some things, I might still agree with on. But have you seen the movies lately?Harry potter 1,2,3 were really awesome, so I read the books. Every Harry Potter afterward was a disapointment. I…

Fortnite is better than Roblox
For
Fortnite gives a purpose in the game, With challenges and achievements, The graphics are way better than Roblox with its blocky graphics. And if Roblox is such of a game than why is Ninja, Lazerbeam, Loserfruit, Lacky, TFue, Etc, Playing Fortnite and not Roblox all day?
Fortnite is better than Roblox for a lot of reasons, Fortnite doesn't make a sound when you die and there is no blood stains when you die
Against
I would forfeit in return, But I don't want to have to wait three days to do that, So I'm not going to make any points here. This is simply to get this over with.
First, I'm going to ignore all of your grammar errors. You say graphics, But you are actually referring to art style, Which is entirely subjective. I could say PUBG has a better art style than Fortnites cartoony art style, And that would be an equally valid statement. As for…

Superman is a better hero than Batman
For
Batman does not have any "super" weaknessness because he just isn't super. That is the only reason. He isn't good enough to have a weakness but Superman is. And exactly, Batman is just a normal guy. That makes him weak and unqualified to be better than Superman. Superman has…
Superman is obviously better than batman because superman has heat vision, can fly, is stronger than batman, and has more powerful enemies. Batman just jumps around Gatham City with his boy Robin doing nothing but trying to kiss Poison Ivy!
Against
You already said his powers. Superman has not had any training. Let me know if I'm wrong. I haven't seen of Superman stuff lately... Anyway, as I was saying, Batman has had training from NINJAS! (See Batman Begins) Superman may be able to fly, but Batman can just grapple onto…
Superman's weakness(one) is Kryptonite. BATMAN HAS A RING MADE OF KRYPTONITE!!! Batman is a normal man, so I hope you understand when I say he has no weaknesses. But Batman has so much Kryptonite that he could just hold it in his hand and Superman would be frightened. I bet…

To begin my round, I'd like to respond/clarify to the Con's first paragraph: The Pro does bear the burden of proof for the resolution, but not proving Con's arguments for him, or proving unproved arguments false. The Con has not brought proof for many of the responses/arguments…
DA1.a: I did show that Gandalf suffered unnecessarily as I showed there were actually alternatives and they did not have to go through Moria. This argument is therefore not yet won by Con. DA1.b: Con has the burden of proof. He asserted that 'Gandalf became the White Wizard…
Against
Pro began by saying that Con has not brought proof for many of the responses/arguments he has made in this round. This is absolutely not true. I invite the judges to look over all of my arguments throughout the debate. The Pro has simply dismissed evidence brought forward by…
Before I dive into my next argument, I'd like to point out one thing - the Pro bears the burden of proof. This is commonly held debate theory. The Con does indeed bear the burden of proof for arguments that it brings up, but in the end, Pro bears the burden of proof to show the…

Marvel copies ideas from DC Comics
For
Oh my, here I go with definitions again. Copy: A thing made to be similar or identical to another. Plagiarism: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. With the definition of copy said, it is shown that Marvel has done this same…
1. The idea is not based on what the hero acts like/sidekicks, or whatever. It's about their origin, name, job, and stuff like that. Did I mention that both Batman and Iron Man are genius, billionaire, playboy, philantropists? Marvel takes the ideas and characters of DC and…
Against
"Copy: A thing made to be similar or identical to another. Plagiarism: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own." So if one where to copy another man's work, that would be called, wait for it, plagiarism. "I have never made the claim…
Let me ask you this. You claim that Marvel copies ideas from DC, but you're just providing examples of how Marvel copied SOME characters. DC may have come up with the idea of those characters, but by that alone, does that mean DC owns the idea? Can you prove DC owns the idea?…

It seems that you will not be convinced regardless, so I will now use Satire to show that One Direction sucks to the amusement of the readers, and take the rest of this debate in stride. Disclaimer: I do not Endorse the jokes of the second video regarding women or mean any harm…

Jay-Z is the greatest rapper of all time
For
Obviously Eminem's 10 number one albums is easily rebutted by Jay having 13. Also, Jay and Kanyes Watch The Throne collaboration achieved much greater fame than Bad Meets Evil. Now here comes the statistic I was waiting to throw out to close the deal. Jay-Z was named "Greatest…
Basically all of Jays songs are about him starting from the bottom and blowing up. And his drug dealing added to business savvy (not saying its a good thing). You also bring up Eminem's speed skills which he does posses, but Jay had some speed too. Listen to The Originators…
Against
Eminem is successfull too. He has one countless awards, I'll name some: 1. He's in the guiness world records 2. MTV Europe music awards for best 3. Grammy award for best album 4. Grammy award for best rap song And many more. He has achieved 10 number one albums, sold more than…
Saying that he was a drug dealer just ruins his personality. And Eminem doesn't need word play, his songs mean something. Even his pop songs. He beats every rapper all the way. He doesn't need to perform with others. Loose yourself: talks about how he started from the bottom,…

Fender makes the best guitars
For
Let's refresh ourselves on the resolution: "Fender makes the best guitars." Now, what terms did we agree to evaluate the resolution on?"hardware, honorable and respectable history (ex. various guitar idols who have used...[our guitar of choice for this debate]), and innovative…
Iconic Fenderï¿½ instruments such as the Telecasterï¿½, Stratocasterï¿½, Precision Bassï¿½ and Jazz Bassï¿½ guitars are known worldwide as the instruments that started the rock revolution, and they continue to be highly prized by today's musicians and collectors. With an…
Against
Popularity and marketing does not equate to the "best guitar". The fact that famous people play a specific brand of guitar also does not equate to the "best guitar". Although a guitar maker may innovate some new accessory or feature this also does not equate to the "best…
Pro has not proven his case. He completely ignores the science behind the building of a superior guitar. He says I should have not accepted the debate unless I was willing to accept his terms. I have proven all of his terms moot. Science doesn't lie, and he made no attempt to…

Comedy is harder to perform than drama
For
Well this debate was who is the best comedic actor not is jim carrey the best comedic actor
Okay well you didn't say who you think is the best comedic actor, but I'm assuming you are saying Adam Sandler and that was predictable. The thing about Adam Sandler is while he's funny he keeps turning out crappy movies. Now I liked happy Gilmore and Billy Madison, but Jack…
Against
Well you did say that you thought Jim Carrey was the best comedic actor, and I was proving to you and the audience that he in fact is not the best comedic actor. My argument stands that there cannot be a 'best comedic actor'. In my cases that I put forward I intended to…
I want to follow up by saying that im not specifying that Adam Sandler is the best, I dont think anyone can be the best however people can have personal favourite actors. What I am saying is that there are better comedic actors than Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey also has his horrible…

Minecraft is a genuinely great video game
For
MIneCraft is cool
Against
Concluding, since my opponent didn't present a single piece of evidence of why minecraft is cool, we are left with the conclusion that his statement is either bogus or irrelevant. The game sucks.
A forfeit doesn't allow me to rebut an allegation. For argument points:Minecraft is confusing. This caused me to abandon it. I also disliked the graphics. Crappy.http://minemum.com...

Pop music is bland and made only for money
For
I can't believe how far you've taken this. I admire you for ability to debate effectively. My point still stands, and I am not changing. I never said that Stay with Me is the same as E.T. but i can see where you are coming from. I meant at the beginning "uncreative" rather then…
You talk about specific songs and how they are different from each other. Only a few songs stand out. Most straight males are singing about love. Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Justin Bieber, etc. are specifically targeting teenagers because that's what they want. They basically are…
Against
In short:My opponent has dropped both claims in the resolution. He admits pop music is not bland just "uncreative;" further that it is made for things other than money.Uncreative is already self-refuted, with the various very different sounding songs named; plus pre-refuted in…
Pro's argument is entirely self-refuting, unless everything is the same as everything else (such as a breakup with a girlfriend, and sex with a boyfriend). He can either be considered to offer no evidence, or to have again self-refuted (if Sam Smith's Stay With Me and Katy…

Singers should be barred from Got Talent competitions
For
Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been busy with my school and music. Plus it was hard to come up with a reply considering you didn't really address my main points so let me try to be more clear. You say I've failed to demonstrate why there should be a ban. As I said before,…
America's got Talent (I use this because all the other "talent" shows originated from the one that started in America) has been around now for 10 years. In those years, many acts have come and gone. We've seen magicians, dancers, silhouettes, singers, and much more. Now I don't…
Against
To summarize Pro's arguments: There are too many singers. They draw away the limelight from other acts they only have talent shows to perform on while singers get a huge selection of shows. However I think pro has failed to demonstrate why this should constitute a ban on…
So it would be more accurate to say that there are little to no ballroom dancers on such shows rather than dancers in general. In which case my reply would be: so what? There are little to no yodelers on such shows. Does this mean singing is an under represented category in…

Professional wrestling is more than just scripted fighting

WWE is more than just: "selling cheap story lines, shallow machismo and stereotyping" Every week the WWE wrestlers travel to different parts of the country and the world and put on a show...Yes, it is fake and worked but it takes a lot out of the wrestlers to go out there and…
Against
"Yes, it is fake and worked but it takes a lot out of the wrestlers to go out there and throw there bodies around." I'm not saying that professional wrestling is not hard. I'm saying that the male soap opera that is WWE is a perversion of what professional wrestling can be.…
While looking at what pro wrestling is by definition one must come to the conclusion that it is wrestling that is "worked" or fake. But based on the debate starters post, it seems this debate is not really about that. The assertion is not "World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)…

It appears my opponent did log in a day ago, but didn't post, or comment, before the time limit. I will leave the rest up to the voters.
It appears my opponent was unable to respond this last round. I will pass to see if my opponent will be able to respond for the final round.

Video games cause violence in children

Thanks Pro for the response. In this round we are just going to tie this all up and show why we have won this debate. Now I will begin to say why I have won. 1. Okay, so my opponent brought up Adam Lanza, or the horrible human being who killed 20 children and 6 adults. However,…
I will go over my opponents case and rebuttal. 1. My opponent has failed to address my second and third contention, therefore due to that , we are going to keep these flowing through as correlation does not prove causation is the truth, and nothing but the truth, therefor since…

Anime should be banned

Anime is a breeding ground for the wicked and sick. Nothing good has come out of it and never will. Anime has contributed nothing to our society and it is a waste of electricity and time. Anime has no educational value and it does not teach language skills. You could instead go…
Anime is poison to children's minds and it creates a fake world for them to live in. Anime introduces pornographic material at a young age and has very graphic and violent scenes. This carries over into adulthood and creates these lazy, nasty, hideous slobs that were once your…

"Anime has no educational value..."Television shows, such as anime, shouldn't have to have an educational value. Even some kids' shows don't have to be educational. I never found Spongebob, during my childhood, to be educational to me. But I'm not going to say that all anime is…
