Pop music should not be considered real music
For
- Pop music has no meaning like music should therefore isn't music.
Against
- Well, since my opponent has forfeited, I won. My final view of the topic 'Pop music is not real music' shows in the other two rounds. Thank you, Lolzer2001 for creating this debate topic. This was a fun relaxing debate and I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
- As you can see, Lolzer2001 has forfeited round 2 of our debate topic "Pop music is not real music". I on the other hand will continue with this debate. Pop music might not be as fun and groovy as other types of music to some people. This topic we are discussing is a matter of…

Video games are a better source of entertainment than movies
For
- "You sound like you have a PS4 you should add me on there what are your favorite video games? Do you play fortnite"No point given. I'll still answer it. Yes I do use a Playstation 4 but prefer singleplayer games. I don't really like multiplayer games. "What does subjective mean…
- "You can use a tool to watch movies too you have a remote control and you also have different buttons you can operate on netflix. " The problem is the best you can do with remotes is change the volume, Change where you are at the movie, Pause and that is it. With a controller…
Against
- Under the things you were saying when you said "no points given" i basically agreed with what you were saying and i have no opposing arguments or different opinions. Anyways heres a parting gift to end off the debate
- You can use x to jump, Square to reload, Triangle to change weapon, R1 to fire, R2 to use a grenade, L1 to aim, L2 to use secondary throw-able item. You sound like you have a PS4 you should add me on there what are your favorite video games? Do you play fortniteSubjective and…

PC gaming is better than console gaming
For
- Three day response time, please do not accept if you do not plan on responding within the allotted time. Best of luck to anyone who accepts. With the broad topic, I am referring to: cost/performance/graphical power. Not a single particular section but rather the general overall…
- The story is important but that's not what this debate is about. It's PC vs Console, not story mode. If you can reply with why console is better, it would be much appreciated. There isn't much for me to counter with since there is nothing you really countered/added to your side…
Against
- I will accept this challenge. In my opinion playing a game on a console is way better than playing on a pc because the controller is way easy to use then the wsad keys and your console is harder to get a virus if you use the internet on it but yes i agree with you on pc because…
- Sometimes the matter of getting a higher priced computer or a higher performance processor is the best thing if your a big gamer but for me when I play a game I like if the story or if the video is great like call of duty black ops for the wii the game was never ever ment to be…

Harry Potter should not be banned
For
- I will begin by thanking my opponent for a very fluent and coherent argument, that has been well delivered and is worthy of respect. However, as this is the rebuttal round, it is my unfortunate duty to now diligently work to tear the said argument apart. Con begins by stating…
- I look forwards to having an interesting discussion with them. Their query has been addressed in the comments section as promised. I hope that they are satisfied with my ruling. I do not believe that the reading and viewing of the Harry Potter books and films should be banned…
Against
- Harry Potter should be banned by government legislation due to it's promotion of unethical and immoral concepts such as racism, witchcraft, and disobedience. Racism is a tricky subject, as it may appear the book is friendly toward house-elves, but there is much discrimination…
- When citing sources, are we required to provide links to websites if able, or only the author? Also, is it acceptable to question the dates of evidence and qualifications of sources?

Jack Nicholson is the greatest actor of all time
For
- I'll tell u why Nicholson is the best actor of all time: 1. He is a versatile actor and has done comedy,serious,psychotic and mind blowing horror and thriller roles (The Shining and One flew over the cuckoos nest) 2. He has voted no.1 by imdb, Rotten tomatoes and actors like…
- Do you accept?
Against
- 1. Jack Nicholson is a very versatile actor, however that does not make him the greatest actor. 2. I have not seen anything related to imdb and rotten tomatoes which determines that he is the consensus for greatest actor. I have only seen fan based lists which have him ranked…
- I'm gonna let you finish, but Jack Nicholson is not the best actor of all time.

Modern video games are better than classic games
For
- "So your telling that in terms of design old games aren't as good? Really? Ever played Donkey Kong country ,super Mario world, super Mario bros 3,super Mario 64, Yoshi's island, and many other numerous retro/classic games with creative design and graphics?"Old games are…
- So let get things clear here! i am not saying that every modern game are better than every classic game, they are not! But overall, modern games are far better than classic games, and not only because technology advances, but game design advances! In the technology perspective,…
Against
- "Old games are definitely good, they all are good, i never said the contrary." That's not what you said during the beginning of your previous post. Maybe I just misinterpreted what you said. "Of course games are inspired on the past, that's actually my point, games evolved from…

Against

- Boring.

Clash of Clans is better than Candy Crush
For
- I don't think everyone pays and buys gems in Clash of Clans. If u see it from another angle, you will see that Clash of Clans helps you to develop a strategy while attacking, and while changing your base layout, it helps to think and teaches you to prioritise your buildings…
- Regular rules. Lets start!!!!! This debate is only for fun. Please don't get aggressive. Those who don't know the game,' Clash of Clans ' please dont accept the debate have fun and enjoy Get ready to lose!!!
Against
- "only the very best and people who pay the most money get the most out of it." As stated above, the very best is so addicted to the game that they sacrifice their social life, work life, everything to play. Eg. Jorge Yao spent over $3000 and has multiple accounts to keep his…
- To become better in COC, you have to spend money. Otherwise, your rank will be stuck among crystals. Clash of clan does not help you develop a strategy when most people watch youtube and copy and their strategy; only the very best and people who pay the most money get the most…

Batman is the best DC Comics hero
For
- According to the Superhero Database (DB), Joker and Lex's intelligence are equal. Their strength and speed are also exactly equal. However, Joker is superior in durability, power, and combat. I assume these stats for Lex are taken by his abilities without his power suit. And if…
- For the sake of this debate, I will only counter some of your arguments, then I will provide more reasons why Batman is the best. First of all, your arguments seem to be only trying to prove Superman's superiority in only the category of strength and abilities. These attributes…
Against
- Don't watch the video until you finish reading the whole thing so you understand why it's there.In stats the Joker would be better, but don't forget that Lex Luthor has massive resources, and isn't on the run from the police. This allows him much greater freedom in what he is…
- My arguments have been trying to prove Superman's superiority in strength and abilities, because he IS superior in strength and abilities. But you are right, it's not all you need to be the best hero.You bring up the subject of villains first. And while there is no denying that…

Video games benefit people of every age
For
- "First of all you can do Physical activities and gain more eye-coordination, for this would also help with their health. Here are some examples of how it helps people, promote healthy blood sugar levels to prevent or control diabetes promote bone density to protect against…

Against
- First I will go over their case and then my own. He states that it helps with hand eye-coordination and also problem solving. First of all you can do Physical activities and gain more eye-coordination, for this would also help with their health. Here are some examples of how it…

Children should be allowed to play video games daily
For
- My second reason to believe that children should be allowed to play video games on a daily basis is because of like on summer or Christmas vacation or any break they need something to do besides play outside or read or play board games all the time too much exercise can…
- I believe that children should be allowed to play video games on a daily basis because some video games are educational such as sports games like math adding and percentages.
Against
- I will rebut them, make my own arguments. Debate about if children are allowed to play video games in a daily basis. I am Con, saying no. BoP is on Pro, or if you call it the burden of proof. Preface/ Arguments1. TimeWhat is the daily average of video games for children? It is…
- I accept.

Undertale is an incredible game
For
- First off, I believe that Undertale is an incredible came because of the characters. Sans, in the genocide route, is the brother of Papyrus. He seems to be a relaxed person in his first appearance and sticks with his brother. However, as the story progresses, Sans gives…
- I believe that Undertale is an incredible game. The first round is acceptance. Rules: 1) The second round is for arguments only, no rebuttals. 2) The third round is for rebuttals and extra arguments. 3) The fourth round is for rebuttals only, no arguments.
Against
- Okay... I guess we're done here...
- Well, to be fair, the game really DOES have some good sound effects and music.
- 266.
Batman could not beat Superman in an equal fight
For
- The arguments that you are giving are good, and while almost convincing they do fall short. The argument that Superman would be slowed down by the weight of the lead is a mute point. Superman prior to both reboots, was stated at having practically limitless strength. In All…
- I knew going into this that there would be a focus on Kryptonite, and that is perfectly alright. The reality of this fight is that Batman, regardless of his knowledge and combat ability, is going to use technology, weapons, and devices to win (if he can). That being said the…
Against
- Given the same time, I believe that Batman could come up with a suit, at the essence of which would be kryptonite, also able to break through lead. Using a version of the acetylene torch he has (more powerful) he could destroy Superman's suit and thus, leave him vulnerable to…
- This will be difficult. Thank you for taking this seriously. Too many people make these and then don't do anything at all but say "Superman is better" (or whatever the superhero is). *I understand that Superman may not be immediately succeptable to SOME kryptonite, "Another…
- 267.
The Call of Duty series is overrated
For
- Looking at how they release another Call of Duty game every year, I got to thinking: "Man, this series is seriously overrated." I mean, it's basically the same game over and over again just with a few new perks. e.g. Call of Duty: Ghosts: new perks include.... a PLAYABLE…
- However, any franchise will get old if they keep recycling it, and COD isn't an exception. Extinction actually is a pretty good addition to Ghosts, though. What the franchise needs, IMO, is the same leap from its predecessors that COD 4 took. And the whole "don't fix what isn't…
Against
- Ghosts' is different; the new mode extiction is different than the rest. It's a break compared to Zombies that usually were only for Black ops. Extiction in my opinoin is better because now you can win there is a goal to be accomplised. And while the COD series stays the same…
- There is a reason why they keep producing COD games; because people like them and enjoy playing them. If people didnt like them then the game producers and companies would stop seeing how they would lose money trying to make them. So i dont think there overated seeing how…

Young adult fiction does more good than harm
For
- Thank you for your arguments. Refutation to contention 1: Violence Eh, I don't find much logic in this case, but nevertheless I will try to refute it. No offense, seriously. First of all, books can represent violence, but movies represent violence even more. Why don't we just…
- Ok, here we go. Contention 1: Popular/Generates Revenue Who hasn't heard of Twilight? Or Harry Potter? These books are immensely popular, and they have a remarkable market. Teenagers love them. Not only do teenagers read them, but also adults, and younger audiences. And the…
Against
- I am sorry my arguments were stupid is was my first debate on this site but I will try my best to refute your arguments. 1.Popular/Generates Revenue First of all books do not generate money for the goverment therefore it can not lower debt. If anything these types of books…
- Ok, here we go for my first argument I will be talking about the violent aspect. 1.Violence As everyone knows in the Twilight series there is two main "men" in the book, Jacob and Edward. Also we know that girls can get very aggressive so girls might start fighting and arguing…

Guitar video games are less useful than real guitars
For
- http://www.wisegeek.com... "This is one of the reasons that with many activities that involve the body's muscles, like playing an instrument, learning appropriate technique is always stressed. You want your muscle memory to reflect the correct way to do things, not the…
- For comparing fast fingers, that can be done with a real guitar too. Me and my friends race on neo-classical songs all the time. You could say that the game provides an objective analysis of speed in the points system, but this can also be done with a metronome to track beats…
Against
- "For comparing fast fingers, that can be done with a real guitar too. Me and my friends race on neo-classical songs all the time." Yes but in this sence do you not have to practice in speed as well. In Earnie boles guitar instructional book, are there not pages consisting of…
- I am not a policy debater and there is not much to debate here. But thank you for authorship. First there is not documented proof that those who begin on a guitar, or on a controller have more or less difficulty than the latter. The fact that finger speed itself and repetitive…

Robux should be free to players
For
- have u played this game called cuphead roleplay? there is sooooo much you have to buy with robux that i want! please! roblox can just get more money, they dont need money, they are greedy! they should give infinite robux to everyone
- They have soooo much money they are soooo greedy I just want Robux
Against
- I have not played that game. But as I said before, would you like to continue playing the game for free without robux. Or would you be fine paying $10 in order to have to play the game, but have the same privileges as someone who has robux. Almost all companies are greedy. It…
- I can understand that robux is a huge part of the game. But keep in mind that if robux was free, then the company would need a new source of income. That new source may stop the game from "free to play" and may require a cost to play. In order to play any game on roblox, it…

Thor is a better superhero than the Hulk
For
- Thor is a god and has the power of a god. Thor uses his hammer which can only be lifted only by the pure of heart. Not only does he have his hammer but Thor also has the power to summon thunder and lightining at ease.
- Thor beats Hulk. Thor is a God. Thor is a God. Thor is a God
Against
- Like I said in the comments, the Hulk took down that alien in one single hit as he was changing from human to Hulk. Thor couldn't even take one down without using Mjolnir to direct lightning onto the portal witch still didn't kill them only pushed them back to keep them from…
- Alright so I'm a lay it on you. At the Hulks ultimate power level he punched a planet into dust with one punch. Even when he's not amped up he has destroyed the east coast just by walking, he's lifted tectonic plates to defeat enemies before, and the only reason he doesn't kill…

Teen boy bands should not make comebacks
For
- Groups such as the Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and the Spice Girls are a few examples of music groups; popular amoung teenagers and kids, who have made recent comebacks. The Spice Girls, for example, released a cd but the majority of the songs on it are remakes of…
- The bands (if they were very popular) do receive attention while they are disbanded. For example, if a person from the does a solo album (Gwen Stefani's solo career) it draws attention to the group. "oh she/he was in ______. I have their CD." Also, when any of the members are…
Against
- I had a lot of fun debating with you polishgirlinar. Strange topic, to say the least, but I liked it anyway. -- >>The bands (if they were very popular) do receive attention while they are disbanded. For example, if a person from the does a solo album (Gwen Stefani's solo…
- This will be swift and clean. -- >>All of the examples you provided for recognition were dead when they got it. This debate is not about dead boy bands, it is about living bands having a reunion. Therefore, the evidence you have used against is irrelevant and inadequate!<< Are…

Fallout 3 is better than Fallout: New Vegas
For
- The story for Fallout 3 is a bit more immersive. You gain attachments with "dad" since the start and actually feel like you want to rescue him. New Vegas on the other hand is pretty much "Vengence". Also, the thing about the Main Character just being a courier didn't make him…
- Fallout provides the player with a unique customization and puts the player right in the game. The world provides a rich post apocalyptic land and is filled with danger and surprises. Great game for both hardcore and casual players.
Against
- although this may be true vengeance in its own aspect is pretty immersive in its own special way. being a courier i admit could have been a little less lame. but in Vegas the fact that you can have special perks like swamp lands that make glitches happen on purpose is pretty…
- they are both extremely great games in story line and game play. and i do agree that there are some things better in Fallout 3 but in the long run Vegas is better. on a personal bases i like the story better, the graphics and the game mechanics.
- 274.
The Monkees were the best rock band of the 1960s
For
- So you have a unfair advantage, don't worry, I'll debate with someone else who will read before they post and be fair about it. And don't come back and say I never said that, in fact, go and check round 1, it's in black and right in front of you.
Against
- I rest my case
- I watched every episode of the Monkee's tv show and enjoyed the songs but these guys could barely play an instrument.
- 275.
Destiny is better than Assassin's Creed
For
- Hhhmmm... well you do have a point on how the two are nowhere close to related, but they are both two popular games that are coming (and already came) out. In my opinion, the new Assassin's Creed game has gone down in graphics quality, but I have seen gameplay, and it does look…
- I think Bungie's DESTINY is better than Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed because not only is it developed by Bungie, but Microsoft as well! DESTINY is a somewhat interesting mixture of Activision's Call of Duty franchise, Bungie's HALO, and Gearbox's Borderlands. If you have played…
Against
- Ah, I see what you mean. I disagree with your opinion about the 3rd game. It wasn't really bad, it was simply disappointing. The story was pretty terrible, but the gameplay and the setting had a refreshing feel to it considering previous AC games were set in Europe or the…
- Hello, boys and girls. I'm short on time right now, so for my R1 argument, I'm going to simply dissect Pro's argument and point out the flaws."I think Bungie's DESTINY is better than Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed because not only is it developed by Bungie, but Microsoft as…

Batman without gadgets could defeat Bruce Lee in a fistfight
For
- I stated the question so therefore the true definition of the question is what I intended it to be, not what his interpretation of it was. I am not being hypocritical because I said either way I found a definition contradictory to his definition and I am claiming that they…
- I think it is quite obvious what I meant by that. If your only defense for your case is that batman's fists count of weapons, and therefore cannot be used, then that is simply ridiculous. Besides, that i just one definition. dictionary.com defines a weapon as "any instrument or…
Against
- So it seems that my opponent and I have contradicting definitions. There is no correct or incorrect definition. Only an interpreted one. I interpreted the definition as it was defined in my source. Seeing as my opponent did not provide a definition in the begining it was…
- My opponent is trying to dismiss my argument.He claims that I knew the true meaning of te question. He has failed to prove this or how this is relevant.He also provides another unsourced definition. Here is my source.http://dictionary.reference.com...My opponent is being…

Humans would defeat zombies in a global pandemic
For
- thank you for accepting I like to start with a def Zombie, from http://dictionary.reference.com...... "the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less," A zombie is nothing more than dead flesh, and there is only one thing on a zombies mind "food…
- I believe that in a global pandemic, humans would win against zombies. The goal for the zombies: The zombies have to infect every human on earth. The goal for the humans: To annihilate all zombies in the pandemic.
Against
- I would like to start off by talking about how my opponent's case is based mainly on what he calls "Hollywood hype" and hypocritically says that any attacks I would bring up will be based on "Hollywood Hype." My opponent says that extreme weather will kill off zombies and any…
- I acccept the debate round

Battlefield is a better video game series than Call of Duty
For
- If you really want to go with innovation... I could say that all the cod games since like 2004 could've been DLC. Changing a few setting doesn't worth another "45. Plus battlefield isn't always USA VS Russia or anything similar? Pretty sure they make quite a few spinoff titles…
- Battlefield is better than call of duty. Starting off the teamwork in battlefield is much better than in call of duty. The system rewards you for playing as a team or in a squad. They're also many gadgets to help. such as medkits, defibrillators... The system rewards you and…
Against
- A vote for me is a vote for freedom.
- Battlefield's campaign AI sucks, and I can see the enemy bots spawn in the same exact location. and that new battlefield game with the cops is repetative as hell, and there's no point in upgrading yourself to get better weapons, because the point of being a cop is not to go on…
- 279.
Cartoon Network is better than Disney Channel and Nickelodeon
For
- That's dead lmao. What 6-12 kid watches cartoons because of the graphics. Remember how south park started it was like construction paper and now its a 2-d cartoon is still one of the biggest shows in the world. But since this is cartoon network how about Family guy, American…
- As you said they are lost, i don't think so because with millions of kids tune into their more recent shows like Steven Universe, Adventure Time (which has sadly ended), Gumball,Uncle Grandpa, We Bare Bears, and Teen Titans Go. There demographic is more of the rebel kid which…
Against
- Well as you said that Disney has lost its popularity after the suite life but they have at least got a good content over a fixed theme. They brought some new amazing shows which most of us enjoy watching. And nickelodeon, they always brings up something new. They always…
- Well we all know Cartoon Network is known as a father of all animated channels. They brought up some great cartoon stuffs like the great Tom & Jerry series, Pok"mon, Dragon Ball Z & many more. But as the popularity has grown they started facing big challenges from their…

Albus Dumbledore was a more powerful wizard than Voldemort
For
- Both wizards are extremely powerful, each in their own right. In this friendly debate, we've had to nitpick somewhat. Hope you have enjoyed reading both sides. Onto my last part in this debate. #1 Voldemort may end up winning his battles on a tactical ground. However, Albus…
- 3) The things which Voldemort knew not! (While Albus did) Voldemort has always thought himself superior to others. - He thought he was the only one who knew of the room of requirement (Deathly Hallows). While Albus didnt claim to know it all, he did find the room, and was the…
Against
- Ah. .. The Fun part " Albus Dumbledore was the only one Voldemort has ever feared. This is mentioned throughout the series. " I would have liked you to have expanded on this point. Why was he afraid? Did Voldemort fear his skills? Or Dumbledore's mind? I think that Voldemort…
- Hmm... Interesting. Argument #3: Ambition Voldemort's only goal was to gain more power. No matter the cost. If Voldemort had lived for 10 more years he would have gotten more powerful. So would have Dumbledore, but because power is the goal of Voldemort he would have gotten…

Books are better than their movie adaptations
For
- Thank you, Con, for your gracious introduction. I in turn will argue that the book is indeed better than the movie - far better, in fact. Surely visions of imagination spun into minds are much better than just screens of color? I will reveal information and opinions on why the…
- Is the book better than the movie? This statement is an old classic, but I would like to view the modern side of the arguments. I will be Pro/For.
Against
- Pro has forfeited the final round of this debate without delivering on the promises he made in rounds 1 and 2. He failed to present any evidence or argument for his claim, and failed to even acknowledge his opponent's arguments. I rest my case.
- This round, Pro asked a rhetorical question:"Surely visions of imagination spun into minds are much better than just screens of color? " I understand what you're saying, Pro, but I request that you explain why imagination is better. Expound on your argument and give reasons as…
- 282.
The Portal franchise is better than the Half-Life franchise
For
- After a bit of research i fully understand your argument and honestly have no idea what to respond with. I feel as if this debate is over. You win, Thank you for the argument
- The portal series is a better series than half life. I like half life but the portal series just has some things half life doesn't. Portal has that mix of puzzle solving and comedy that half life just wont work with.
Against
- ==Unitomica==
- As the Con has conceded the debate, I will take my leave.

Xbox is a better console than PlayStation
For
- Xbox is Better because the mother bored is way more advance than the Ps4 in many ways like it is fast in fps it's HD 4k and blue ray but the xbox just does it better and the gold in xbox is way bettre than ps4 plus beacuse first of all in gold you get free games and in ps4 plus…
- I think Xbox are better than ps4 because it is more in the future than the ps4
Against
- Okay
- If you mean by CPU, GPU. Xbox One X only beat Ps4 by 0. 2 GHz. Xbox does have I find it really difficult if you find a noticeable different since the fps I don't think would even by an extreme frames per second. From the second source it is not about how much GHz you have it is…

Sad commercials should be banned from television
For
- Yeah I figured....
- "the main point it to spread awareness"You can spread awareness though without gulit-tripping the living hell out of unsuspecting people though!"My beast friend adopted a dog from the humain society"Judging from your spelling I highly doubt that is true....."Many can even save…

- I agree that in some cases people don't call the number and donate money, but that is not the only point of theses commercials the main point it to spread awareness. My beast friend adopted a dog from the humain society the other day because she knew that she was helping and…

Batman is a better superhero than Iron Man
For
- I agree to my opponent's request. C1: BATMAN NEVER KILLS Clearly, a quality of a hero is someone who refuses to stoop to the level of his opponents, someone who uses non-lethal force, someone who refuses to let another person experience what Bruce Wayne experienced that fateful…
- I believe that Batman is a better superhero than Iron Man. The Dark Knight Trilogy was awesome (go see the movies, NOW). We will have a shared BOP. Definitions: Batman - the superhero Bruce Wayne from the DC universe Iron Man - the superhero Tony Stark from the Marvel universe…
Against
- C1: BATMAN NEVER KILLS Counter-argument 1: Batman moral code says he'll never kill. And we are supposed to see this as a good thing. Sometimes it can be but it allows his enemies to love and fight another day. Namely the Joker. You see, Iron Man does not mercilessly slaughter…
- Ok. But I ask that we use the mainstream continuity of the superheroes plus the most recent film franchises.
- 286.
Radio stations should stop repeating the same songs
For
- Hahaha alrighty then sounds good to me! I guess we both agree. Vote pro! This is actually the first debate that I've actually taken seriosly haha!
- Yes i agree that music on the radio is usually bland and boring, mostly because the same songs are overplayed. Which is what my point is.I guess some people may seem overwhelmed trying to know all the songs, but i think most people aren't really like that and they just listen…
Against
- Yea. I think you win, because I can't come up with a reason people wouldnt want more songs. I'm not forfeiting, I'm agreeing!
- Ok. I guess first of all, I didn't mean that music not on the radio is bland and boring, I meant it the other way around. Also, the thing is... popular music starts to get sketchy. It starts to get to where, instead of being all about the music, it takes in other factors as…
- 287.
Batman is a better superhero than Spider-Man

- Contention 1 Yes, it is unfortunate that Batman can't save every person in Gotham City. You showed as example the game Arkham City, many people have died in that time. But this was not because Batman was too weak or ineffective. It was because almost all of Batman's foes were…

- My opponent has completely dropped this debate at the final round, so everything that I said before this round is extended across the flow. At the very least, at this point, I should have the conduct vote for being punctual to every single one of my rounds in this debate, and…
- So, in this debate, it is important to note the following key thing for the evaluation of the round: My opponent made no mentions on the parameters of the round explaining why his burden for me was not adhering to the resolution at hand, so extend this across the flow. For that…

Practical effects are better than CGI in film
For
- To your comments. and facts. First off, Critic's are not the voice of the people, nor can any one persons opinion really state the overall quality of a movie. But as far as Practical effects being replaced by CGI completely, speaking Mainstream, its quite possible. I think that…
- First off. The fact Avatar made so much money was because of MARKETING, not because it was a good film. In fact the CGI in the film is basically just the effects of video games. Avatar was an computerized mess and the 3D made it even worse. If anything Avatar proves that CG…
Against
- This is a pleasant way to finish off the debate; you state your emotional attachments to practical effects and how a machine should not produce them. Due to your emotional attachments to the physical effects you see CGi as almost a curse. However you are very mistaken. Simply…
- Forgive me if I am wrong but I believe you have not stated a single fact in the entire round four proposition.You say how CGI can never be as realistic as practical effects but this is merely an opinion of your eyes and how you see the movie. Also it is very likely a bias view…

Halo Reach is a better game than Halo 3
For
- I will be going over my case only, I guess, as my opponent has not made any arguments of his own. ****MY CASE****C1: GAMEPLAYSUB A: Weapons and vehiclesMy opponent says that since several of the weapons used in reach are only one time use weapons, they should not count. This is…
- Without further ado, let our mighty clash of words begin! I would like to begin by defining a few key terms that I feel are essential to this debate, and will help further our viewers understanding of arguments, and sequences through this debate. ****DEFINITIONS****Halo Reach:…

- The timer is almost up and my opponent is offline, so I will just post my argument in a Google Doc. I understand if this loses the conduct point for me. https://docs.google.com...
- Weapons & VehiclesWe see what appears to be lists of weapons from both games. HOWEVER, this list is not accurate. The Assault cannon was never used.The combat knive and energy daggers are passive weapons that only hold any purpose in a designated assasination cutscene.The H-165…

The BBC Top Gear is better than Top Gear America
For
- I forfeited the round because the third round was to attack your case, and since you did not post an argument in the second round there was no need for me to post attacks, because there was nothing to attack. I suggest you present a case if you want to stand a chance in the…
- The first way the British Top Gear is better is the quality of the show. The British Top Gear has much more humor than the American Top Gear. This is reflected in the amount of awards it has received (11) over the past 11 years, according to IMDB. com. The American version…

Classical music is superior to modern popular music

- My final selection of classical music is a no-brainer. There are hundreds of great violin pieces to choose from, but the composer I choose from is none other than Niccolo Paganini [1].It has been said that Paganini was the first metal musician. In fact, due to the titles he…

Minecraft is better than Roblox

- I accept your challenge. Good luck to you.

Chess is the best board game

- REBUTTALS "…which is more of a negative because risk is a great producer of adrenaline." There is risk involved in Chess. Playing aggressively is filled with danger. "…Furthermore monopoly does encourage skill: the skill of knowing when and what to buy and the skill of…
- ARGUMENTS: Extend my previous arguments, since they have not yet been addressed. REBUTTALS: "Monopoly appeals to the competitive nature of every individual in a way no other board game does hence the popularity." ---I strongly disagree. The first INTERNATIONAL chess tournament…
Against
- I suppose my opponent has conceded the debate.

Old Republic era Sith were stronger than modern Sith
For
- As far as the intelligence goes you are correct, the old sith were not better then the new sith, but thats not what this debate was about. Its about who was the overall most powerful. Though you are completely correct with the Nhiulus thing in the end Darth Sidious would still…
- Oaky, If youve played KOTOR I or II and/or have read the Starwars books from the old republic or the sith era, then you should know that the anchiant sith lords such as Darth Reaven, Niulus, Bane, Zannah, and Kopecz were eaisly ten times as powerful as the new sith such as…
Against
- Although the Old Sith were amazingly powerful, they were not better. Here are my contentions. 1. Power can corrupt people, especially Sith. Such an example is Darth Nihilus. He could suck the force out of a whole entire planet, and that is one of the most extravagant ways to…
- So if the debate is not about "power" but about "strength" then why did you argue power? "but thats not what this debate was about. Its about who was the overall most powerful." No matter, here is the definition of "stronger" with almost the same meanings as "power" has:…

Music games give players false hopes of stardom
For
- Guitar Hero is a fun game and we all love it. But it doesnt give the player the real feeling of playing the guitar. You just learn how to time your button pressing. Kids who play guitar hero think that they can play actual guitar.
Against
- Having received no rebuttal to address from Anzum, I guess I'll rest my case. I would point out that there are a variety of practical applications for video games that are increasingly influencing behavior in a positive fashion. Here are just a couple of examples: Surgeons use…

Dota 2 is better than League of Legends
For
- My opponent has forfeited the next round of the debate, therefore I cannot rebut it. Thank you to anyone who read this debate, and please vote Pro. I hope Con is able to make one last argument before voting occurs. Thanks. :)
- I will respond to all of your arguments for each game. I. Learning Curve "It's great that Dota 2 sets up controls like LoL, but I fail to see any crazy advantage here. Sure, it saves you maybe 5 minutes of setting up the controls, but that's about it. Plus, many people who play…
Against
- Since there was no particular format stated, I assume that I have the option either rebut or to make my own arguments; I will be choosing the former. ===================================================================Introduction:First, I want to say that I'm actually playing…
- I accept. And I also want to state that the burden of proof is on my opponent to try to prove that Dota 2 is better than LoL. I don't need to try and show that LoL is better than Dota 2. I just need to show that Dota 2 isn't better than LoL. I await my opponent's arguments =)

Keyboard and mouse is better than controllers
For
- That's not true. I have gone from a Logitech M315 to a Razer Deathadder Elite and have noticed only a difference in ergonomics. As long as you have 60FPS+, it's all skill. On the flip side, console has too many factors such as aim assists for controllers to be taken seriously.…
- Your argument fell apart at the moment that you admitted to K&M being an advantage. A mouse gives you easy control over every single plane while you aim, and a keyboard allows for you to press any button without a major shift in aim or hand position. A keyboard and mouse player…
Against
- I do not think that K&M is better for FPS.
- You made your argument fall apart when you admitted that a person with the same skill level will dominate a person that doesn't have a mouse that is as good as yours, on console everyone has the same hardware and no one has an unfair advantage over another. That's my point, PC…

Destiny is the best video game ever made
For
- Modern Warfare 2 is old and outdated, that is the only reason that is has good reviews. Destiny is new and fresh and they are still coming out with updates. When was the last time that they had an update for Modern Warfare 2? Like 4 years ago. Destiny had an update last month…
- If you think that Destiny is so bad tell me of another game that you believe is much better.
Against
- Being old has nothing to do with why it has good reviews . The reason they don't update it anymore is because they moved on to newer games. Also just because Destiny had an update, doesn't mean its suddenly the greatest game in the world.Also,Far Cry 4 GameRankings (XONE)…
- First all, I never said Destiny is a bad game, Your debate is about Destiny being the "greatest" video game. One example I shall provide of a better game isCall of Duty Modern Warfare 2Here are the critical receptions for both games.Destiny GameRankings (XONE) 78.55%[73](PS4)…
