Final Fantasy VII is the best Final Fantasy game
For
- okey dokey! first i would like to strengthen my case then refute my opponents. and i also ecxuse him for not fully finishing his response. he was short on time and not every one can spend their life in front of a computer screen. The game's stunning cutscenes have an…
- hi guys! all right to begin... my opponent wishes me to point out how the aspects of "adventurous missions involved with betrayal, friendship, and sacrificing" makes this game better. true that there is this stuff on other games, but what I am trying to prove is that it is…
Against
- First, I would like to make it clear that I am dropping all of the arguments which I did not get the opportunity to continue. Short on time or not, it is no one's fault but my own and I shall gladly accept the consequences. With that said, defeat is still imminent for my…
- Paragraph 1) In response to my request for my opponent to point out how the aspects of "adventurous missions involved with betrayal, friendship, and sacrificing" makes FF Crisis core better than the other games which have included these themes, but all he manages to point out…

Dead or Alive is a better fighting game than Mortal Kombat
For
- Tomonobu Itagaki came up with the story for Dead or Alive and the characters. He also revived Ninja Gaiden, another great game. This shows, that hard work went into Dead or Alive and it has been well thought out. Itagaki is a great game designer and has helped create many great…
- Dead or Alive is better than Mortal Kombat. First round is for acceptance. Con will argue that Mortal Kombat is better than Dead or Alive
Against
- My opponent has forfeited the round. This makes me the winner.
- Mortal Kombat is the american franchise fighting game that has touched the hearts of many action gamers world wide. (http://en.wikipedia.org...). It is well known for it's unique characters, and brutal finishers. There are currenty 24 deifferent Mortal Kombat games (most…

Bishops are more valuable than knights in chess
For
- Now to start the debate: The following is the most common assignment of point values for chess pieces: [1] •Pawn = 1 •Knight = 3 •Bishop = 3 •Rook = 5 •Queen = 9 Overall bishops and knights are worth about the same but I will argue that the Bishop will be more powerful to the…
- This debate is to show if the bishop or the knight is the better piece in a game of chess. The piece I choose to be better is the Bishop, therefore who ever accepts this debate will have to argue that the Knight is in fact better. There are two rules I am going to make in this…
Against
- Thanks for the debate and prompt reply BillBonJovi. R1. When there is much closed space on the board, the Knight is far superior to the bishop. Thus, in the early game, a Knight is central for clearing out the opposition. Very true, the bishop has an advantage over time.…
- Thanks for the debate BillBonJovi. Since my opponent made no data to argue in R1, I will let him start in Round 2. Using the Bluesteel technique.
- 304.
Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time
For
- i know it's controversial, because eminem's not black, and rap is a predominately black music genre, but i think eminem has proven himself to be the greatest rapper of all time. a lot of you guys will claim shakur is the best, but i feel like shakur doesn't nearly match…
- The burden of proof lies *entirely* on Pro to prove the resolution as absolutely true. For this, Pro has to do the following: (1) establish an objective criterion for what is "best" (2) prove that Eminem fulfills that objective criterion (1) i believe the criteria for best…
Against
- I accept. The burden of proof lies *entirely* on Pro to prove the resolution as absolutely true. For this, Pro has to do the following:(1) establish an objective criterion for what is "best"(2) prove that Eminem fulfills that objective criterionI would like to observe that a…
- I extend all my arguments. My opponent has forfeited and plagiarized.
- 305.
Anime should be banned
For
- I can disagree with you, because researches prove that today more and more anime cartoons with violence scenes appear. It is good that some children can become more polite and kind with the help of anime cartoons, but practice shows that it has more negative effects on…
- I think that anime cartoons should be banned. There are many reasons of it . It can harmfully influence children. The most important and meaningful reason why anime cartoons should be banned is an inappropriate information for children. First of all it is platitude. Recently…
Against
- Again I say you that anime has many advantages. My arguments: 1) study history. For instance,Japanese culture and history is ingrained very much in anime, even those that take place outside of Japan. There are a number of anime that take place in ancient Japan or during a…
- What about cartoon "Avatar"??? It teaches children and even adults moral things such as kindness, tenderness, love etc. My little brother finally understood after this cartoon that his behavior frustrated us especially parents. then he became polite, kind but at the same time…

Lesser-known composers like Dvořák deserve as much acclaim as Mozart
For
- Hello again, Before I begin my round argument, I would like to answer some questions: I looked up Dvorak's life just after the time of his ninth symphony. It seems that Dvorak was in a slight financial problem and had decided to return to Bohemia and he decided that from 1895-…
- Well, I can see that I am against a very strong opponent. This is not a bad thing. Quite the opposite indeed.Anyhoo... I would to justify my statement by saying that some of the greatest people in whatever they were/are great in, had learnt from the people before that person.…
Against
- The curse of the ninth is pretty interesting, but it was something that was noticed after these guys. They weren't aware of the curse. My favorites...tough to say. Mostly I just like the popular guys. Not a fan of serialism though Random pieces I like--well-known variety:…
- Leaving this response to the last minute, gotta type fast. Dvorak was great at incorporating things like you said. however, he was not unique in this. incorporating folk tunes into one's work was very in vogue at the time. To think of using of motif as a compositional technique…
- 307.
Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek series
For
- CharactersMy opponent contests that the DS9 characters are not as interesting and that Sisko in particular is not very memorable. OK I will concede Sisko may not be as memorable as the like of Kirk or Picard but as I brought up, DS9 was an ensemble cast so the Captain wasn't…
- I will concede what my opponent said about the Kirk and Uhura kiss being a major breakthrough. As for Admiral Cartwright (who FYI was played by the same actor who played Sisko"s father) he may be a higher rank but is not as close to the viewers as the Captain is the one they…
Against
- I hope readers have gotten as much satisfaction from this bold exploration as I'm sure we both have. And now, to battle. Characters With the odds badly stacked against him by the evidence from ranker, and having nearly been forced into a total rout on this issue, Pro attempts…
- After a difficult round which probably left him feeling like a Ferengi at a Klingon drinking contest, my opponent has tried to retreat to more defensible ground. I'm afraid I cannot allow his escape. Weapons free, fire all torpedoes. Characters My opponent misread my comment…
- 308.
The Hunger Games is better than Divergent
For
- The Hunger Games doesn't have a love triangle, Katniss is only faking to love Peeta. Also, Katniss stood up for herself too! She was in the Hunger Games twice for goodness sake! Katniss is a much more stronger character than Tris.
- My opponent has no decent argument against me. Also, he has not fought any of my points that I have made so far, so those points are deemed valid. The Hunger Games captures the future vividly, and has won various awards for its amazingness. Thanks for the debate.
Against
- For girl main character absolutely no competition Tris is WAY better than Katniss. For starters Tris had a heart and loved four/tobais. Tris also stood up or herself/was a heroine in the story instead of the main character who needs someone else to save them when it actually…
- Divergent has SOOOOO much better grammar usage.
- 309.
Harry Potter is a better series than The Lord of the Rings
For
- Really? WOW. Epic fail on whoever taught you to spell. Or make a good argument for that matter. If you keep up this ridiculously stupid repeat ad hominems instead of actually attacking my points I have no doubt I will win this debate.
- Wow you suck at spelling. Seriously get off your couch and do something productive like watch Harry Potter! But seriously is this the best LOTR has to offer? Resorting to Ad Hominems like a stupid kindergartner? Please.
Against
- hei @ least i actuly W3NT 2 kendter gritten
- wooooooowwwwwww u suck at lief dood

Practical effects are better than CGI in films
For
- Since my opponent has not attempted a rebuttal of my previous points, they still stand.
- May the best argument win. "1. This argument is based on personal opinion. It would totally depend on what was being destroyed. If you want to see the cosmos shatter in an awe inspiring explosion, then I would go with CGI. Small scale destruction is fine and dandy but I do not…
Against
- Thanks for posting this! Will be fun. 1. This argument is based on personal opinion. It would totally depend on what was being destroyed. If you want to see the cosmos shatter in an awe inspiring explosion, then I would go with CGI. Small scale destruction is fine and dandy but…
- 311.
Comic books are more effective storytellers than novels
For
- I would like to remind my opponent that this debate is entitled "Comic books are more effective storytellers than novels", not "manga are more effective storytellers than novels". My opponent began to attack my case by saying "As to his beginning stipulations, I am an avid…
- I noticed that within your response was no rebuttal to my original arguments. However, whether or not you would like to counter any of my arguments is completely up to you. Now to address your discourse. It is true that different people have different dominate senses, which…
Against
- My opponent has informed me that he was unable to finish his last posting due to inexplicable and unavoidable circumstances. As a measure of good faith I will only refute what he has given me. First of all. Any intelligent person can see that manga is the highest form of comic…
- As a quick response to my opponents comments at the begging of round two I'd like to say that I held off attacking his case so that I could do so this round. I was also hoping that we might be able to devote Round 3 to the rebuilding of our cases. Just because I don't post my…
- 312.
One Direction is better than Justin Bieber
For
- ok? so I guess I win
- One Direction is better than Justin Bieber. First of all, they are better people and have morals. Justin Bieber has been caught doing drugs multiple times and his songs have messages. The members of One Direction care about their fans and they haven"t let fame get to their…
Against
- Justin Berber is a solo artist so that puts metre pressure really im not a fan of justin but he is better then 1d justin makes better songs i give up u win
- Accepted

Movies are good for people
For
- you talk to much
- I think movies are good for us because it entertains us
Against
- Hello again, to continue from where we left off, i shall restate the topic: Movies are good for us. just curious,does "you talk too much" look like an argument for this topic? From my experience, when you are watching movies you talk less. Also, I like talking, and that is why…
- Good morning (Australian time) debate.org. Today I shall be debating the topic "are movies good for us". First of all, the name of this debate should be a statement, such as "movies are good for us". this allows "Pro" to agree with the topic and "Con" to disagree, hence, pros…
- 314.
PCs are superior to consoles for gaming
For
- In response to your argument of game devs shying away from the pc market, what you say is not true. Even at a full price of, say 60 dollars on consoles, developers arguably make more money from the game being sold on Steam for 75% off. This is due to the fact that PC has no…
- I will admit it was not proffesional to state an argument and not back it up. Combining the sales of all consoles would not be fair. Instead, let us compare the numbers of the Xbox 360. As of January 2011 there have been approximately fifty million Xbox 360 game consoles sold.…
Against
- On the note of cost: While the cost is a appealing feature for PC's, its important to know that developers are shying away from the PC scene because with the console market being much more lucrative and available, they have a chance to make much more money and soon developers…
- 315.
The Light Side of the Force is superior to the Dark Side
For
- The force is weak with this one. Extend arguments.
- Resolution: The Light side of the Force is superior than the Dark side. ARGUMENTS 1: The easiest path to power is not necessarily the best: Luke: "Is the Dark Side more powerful?" Yoda: "No. Quicker, easier, more seductive it is." Case-in-point: Anakin Skywalker, newly dubbed…
Against
- We had decided to skip Round Two... and argue in rounds 3 and 4 Please read the below... *after it's been posted of course!*
- Thank you for proposing this most awesome debate.. and.. May the Force be with You! :)
- 316.
Looking up video game clues online is cheating
For
- Only sucky quitters, sore losers and degenerates have to resort to clue books or the internet for information on how to finish a video game. Real men figure out the puzzle, the riddle, the challenge to finish the game without having to be a sissy and have to go on-line to look…
- 2/ Most games are created for the maximum realistic gaming experience, by using cheats it defeats the challenges and makes the player usually invulnerable to enemies and damage, this is not the way the game is meant to be played, and the only reason those clues are there is for…
Against
- 1)Maybe you just want to run with the hooker through town, amongst other things in Grand Theft Auto type games. 2)Maybe you are using your strength intelligence-wise to simply find the easiest way to win. 3)Mentally challenged people want and need the cheats. They don't want…
- While I agree with my opponent on general principle, I also think there could be cases that are exceptions to his claim. 1)The player may have won the game before and rather than go through all of the work again, they use the cheats. 2)The cheats may allow you to do things that…
- 317.
Superman is a better hero than Batman
For
- 1. More Relatable Okay simply being human does not make him more relatable, say you have a cannibal but he's human, but you have an alien who has all the emotions and thoughts as a human. But under your definition the cannibal is more relatable just because he's human. Simply…
- I'm disappointed that my opponent never refuted any of my arguments, but eh that's life. :( 1. "He's more relatable." If you find a guy who cant show his face and creeps around at night relatable the that's your problem, atleast Superman is social enough to show his face. And…
Against
- I've been at the NC Senate Page program and am going to Prom tonight so I don't have much time to write, but here it goes.Let me point out that Pro has the Burden of Proof. Yet he stopped giving his own contentions and has pretty much just decided to attack my contentions. This…
- I'll admit that Superman has some cool powers, but he is still not better than Batman. Someone being better doesn't necessarily mean what their abilities are, but who they are.Batman is just better than Superman on the inside. After all, it isn't what you are on the inside, but…
- 318.
Arena of Valor is a better game than Mobile Legends
For
- You right Mobile legends do perform an challenge in the game with the old characters, However it still not fair that they reduced and given the once powerful heroes such as Lesley and Lyle more weaker. Also not only with that, The classes of champions you can play is not fair…
- You right it has more downloads and more likes. However Mobile legends is spread around the world and arena of valor is usually spread around Europe and us so not many of them heard of them. anyways about the heroes in Mobile Legends. Every Month you get a new hero in the game,…
Against
- While its true that mobile has lags, Its worth it in my opinion, Because you get better content in the long run, And they can always fix the lag problem. And while valor has those amazing superhero's, They don't have the appeal that mobile has, Because as I previously mentioned…
- It's true that the characters that you get, Soon become weak, But doesn't that introduce a bit of a challenge for you to overcome. This aspect of the game makes you think, It makes you want to strive to be better. As for the game modes, I think sometimes in order to overcome…
- 319.
Nintendo is a better gaming company than Sony
For
- Actually I disagreed to all your arguments as they are faulty. No body wants a PS3 because there is nothing good about it gaming wise. Yes Sony has made good appliances like TVs, CD players, etc. But when it comes to gaming they can't make anything good! You shouldn't declare…
- "NINTENDO SUCKS!!!" What kind of an opening sentence is that? What are you 10? Yeah Sony, as a gaming company has only been around sense what the late 90's? Yeah Nintendo has been around sense the mid-80's. Yes Sony is good when it comes to general aplliances but when it comes…
Against
- first of all sony hasn't been around as long as nintendo and they still have 4 consoles that each sold he best of the year PS1- Created a new way of gaming PS2- is still selling better than a WII or and nintendo console even though its about 4 years old PSP- Created a new…
- you agreed to all my arguments so ill just extebd. nintendo has created Dk and blah blah but Sony has made Madden, one of the best games in the world which sold more copies than any of the nintendo games. And this along with my other arguments show that I win
- 320.
The US version of The Office is funnier than most sitcoms
For
- Provide the tv show that you believe that the office is not funnier than and we will debate. (Note: you cannot chose the UK version of the office, as they are too similar. )
- Humor is subjective to a certain point, as different people find different things funny. For example if I laugh at something that someone else doesn't than I may have a different taste. However there are certain guidelines to determine what is funny. How else would we determine…
Against
- Okey dokey. Well my opponent has brought up some new arguments in the final round, stuff that should have been brought up ealier to give me a fair chance. This should be a conduct point in my favor. Even if you think I lost, I still earned that conduct point.It is common…
- I am at a bit of a disadvantage. I have never seen an episode of the office. This means I am just going to drop every argument with the exception of humor being subjective argument. If that argument loses, I probably lost the debate anyway. If the argument won, than the rest of…
- 321.
PC gaming is superior to next-gen console gaming
For
- Extend all arguments. Con did not bring up any contentions at this point. Vote Pro if you have been convinced by my arguments. Otherwise don't vote at all.
- That is not an argument.1. PC Gaming & Online PlayThe PC gaming does not require annual or monthly payments for playing online. If someone has the Internet on their computer, they can play multiplayer on their games without any extra payments. 2. PC Gaming & FeaturesPC games…
Against
- Vote for me or ur mum

Batman should not be considered a real superhero
For
- Webster dictionary might say that a superhero is a person with skills, but with out his 6.9 billion he couldn't pay for all his toys, that keep him from geting killed in all his fights. Althoght Batman might have skills, he is just a man with a lot of money. If Jacky Chan had…
- Batman is not a superhero and never will be, he lacks the powers!!!
Against
- Batman!
- BATMAN
- 323.
Harry Potter is a superior book series to Twilight
For
- Topic: The Harry Potter book series by J. K. Rowling triumphs that of the Twilight saga which was written by Stephanie Meyer. Not only is HP (Harry Potter) more well rounded, but it is also far more detailed and inspiring. Meyer's books are focused on a much slimmer audience…
- You call this Bella bashing, and to some extent I will agree. But Bella is the main character of the Twilight series. Everything is seen through her eyes and everything we know is from her perspective. I am merely just pointing out that the main character is not very detailed…
Against
- I accept this challenge whole heartedly. I don't exactly agree to either book being superior, but the arguments seem enticing. May the best man/woman win.
- Your Bella bashing is doing the opposite of what you would like then. Bella isn't as flat as you would like to perceive her, while she is very plain and ordinary, and yes, that allows female readers to step into her shoes, but at the same time she does just the right amount of…
- 324.
Family Guy is better than The Simpsons
For
- family guy is way more funnier and more random than the simpsons. It also has better characters and funnier story lines than the simpsons.
Against
- All in all, I won this debate. The pro has forfeited twice. All of my arguments still apply, and the pro obviously agreed with me.
- It is disappointing that my opponent forfeited this round. I guess you just can't mess with the classics. I guess he can see this now that I brought up my points: 1) Award Winners 2) Long History 3) Bigger effort to produce the Simpsons 4) Simpsons is a family show 5) and…
- 325.
DC Comics is better than Marvel Comics
For
- In conclusion, I would just like to state that DC Comics has stood the test of time, and has revolutionized comics with a mixture of brilliant older franchises and innovative new additions. Such divisions as Vertigo, Cliffhanger, and MAD Magazine only sweeten the package.…
- Now, now. You don't believe everything you read in the paper, do you? "Better" does not equal "more succesful." Due to the fact that it is the Google Financier, (hint hint "Financier") I don't think that they're actually judging them based on QUALITY of comics, more than the…
Against
- Look! Up at that building in New York City! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's the comic empire DC Comics! The world's #2 comic book publisher (behind longtime nemesis Marvel) - Google Finance I rest my case.
- 326.
Lone Survivor is a better film than American Sniper
For
- I find American Sniper to be a good, emotional film, and given recent events, it's given a more emotional feel, however, I think recent events help that. I do believe that Lone Survivor was a slight bit better, though. It kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time and made…
- I would probably still pick Lone Survivor. I had more emotions with that. That movie gets us attached to many people, most of them end up dead. The character who was the Lone Survivor saw his rescue Chopper (my cousin played the pilot of that helicopter) blow up. I felt a lot…
Against
- I agree with what ur saying a little bit, but American Sniper (in my opinion) has a lot more emotion towards the end and it probably reached a lot more hearts in the whole movie than originally.
- I see ur point since a relative was in that movie, but honestly American Sniper has more emotion and action. Honestly i want u to tel me, if ur cousin wasnt in that movie, which one would u pick.
- 327.
Animal Crossing is more unique than most video games
For
- Animal Crossing is a relaxing game that has no over arching storyline or ultimate goal. It's definitely unique and it is most certainly designed for both genders.
- The game does not show preference towards men or women.
Against
- ANNIMAL CROSSING IS A GIRL GAME AND ALL THOSE GAMES LISTED ARE UNIQUE IN A TYPE OF MATTER AND THERE ARE MANY GAMES LIKE ANNIMAL CROSSING THEREFORE I HAVE WON
- 328.
Abbey Road is a better album than Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
For
- My opponent seems to have forfeited in the previous round. In lieu of this, I extend my arguments, and I conclude that since my opponent, according to the rules of this debate, can't make a new argument in the final round, a pro victory must be imminent.
- My opponent has not refuted any of my arguments, or made any of their own. Therefore, ARGUMENTS EXTENDED.
Against
- Um, yeah, thanks for that essay. I'll add it to the fire fuel.
- Good joke. Just go away.
- 329.
The Beatles are the most influential band ever
For
- Coming from a fellow musician, I can see how they were not at all musically informed. For instance, only one of them ever actually learned how to read music. Yet at the same time, It is almost impossible to name a singer or group of musicians that came after them that was not…
- The Beatles were by far the most influential band ever. They have inspired almost every type of music in one way or another, and have influenced about 80% of the bands and singers that came after them.
Against
- The issue with my opponent's argument is the statement that created as this resolution, "The Beatles are the most influential band ever" and by that statement one must automatically include all pre-Beatles bands as well. That being said, let us look at a few things. Definition…
- I accepted this debate as a musician myself. While I love the Beatles and think they are quite influential I do not think they are the most influential ever. I think there are many other bands and musicians that are far more influential. That being said I'll now leave the first…
- 330.
Superman is more powerful than all other fictional characters
For
- superman has never lost a fight though
- superman can beat anyone
Against
- Its not often, in fact its extremely rare. However, Batman has defeated Superman. He has lost quite a few times. Here he loses to Nuclear Man the villain in Superman 4 In Superman 3 he lost to a super computer and had to be saved by a human being. Here he is killed by Lex…
- I'm not sure if you're saying that Superman is unbeatable or that he's simply the most powerful overall character than anyone other character. Any omnipotent character is overall more powerful than Superman. The truly omnipotent characters are The Presence and The One Above…
- 331.
Bohemian Rhapsody is the greatest song of all time
For
- You did in fact completely disregard my strongest points. My question clearly stated "Can bohemian rhapsody be Considered the greatest song of all time" so actually in fact anybody who tries to fight against this argument is incorrect because any song can be considered the…
- My kind (or shall I say unkind sir) for whether you like it or not everything debated ever is based solely off opinions. If there was a conformity of a factual truthful answer to every problem in the world maybe your rude comments would help up just the slightest. To restate…
Against
- "everything debated ever is based solely off opinions"Yes but whether or not something is right or not is NOT based solely off of opinions, which is exactly what your argument consists entirely of, opinions. "And I would like to think my line to line dissection wasn't…
- Sorry it took so long, internet at UM has been completely non-existent due to storm problems.... Anyways, Pro's argument for why its the best song of all time is based entirely on his own opinion, which can be applied to just about every good song ever made to make it seem like…
- 332.
Reading a book is better than watching a film
For
- Firstly I would like to the fact that who would want to watch a 5-14 hour movie? Surely people would get bored of sitting there watching something for so long, no-one would like to do that. Yes, you can come back to watching the film however people just haven't got the time,…
- I agree with this statement very strongly. Films are a great thing to watch however they are no way as good as reading the book. My first point that I am going to make is the fact that books are able to have more detail and sections in them. The book is longer therefore does…
Against
- Pro forgot to give definitions so I'll assume them for him. Book = literature: writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays. Film…
- I'm glad pro has such confidence in his case, let's hope it's well placed. I could not make much sense of most of pro's first argument, for the sentence was long and confusing. But I understood that he claims that tv series are easier to follow than a long movie and asks me if…
- 333.
Photography is an art form
For
- I collect turtles.
- Big trees catch the wind.
Against
- Hello, debaters. The resolution is as follows: "Photography is an art form." By "photography," I mean "the process of producing images of objects on photosensitive surfaces," and by "art form," I mean "the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect…
- 334.
Friday Night Lights is the best TV drama series
For
- I believe that Friday Night Lights is the best drama television series ever. I have many examples to support this fact. If you disagree please share your opinion with me. If you can convince me how good another show is, I might watch it. Thank you.
Against
- Another debate forfeited. .. All arguments extended.
- Arguments Extended
- 335.
Anime is fundamentally different from Western cartoons
For
- Anime is a differently drawn art, and with different styles and different origins. Ex: Tom and Jerry, compared with Naruto. Cartoons are drawn different. Anime needs different skills. Look at the pic.
- um... just saying, you are on the wrong side.
Against
- Based on the arguments I made above, it is completely false. Comics and Manga uses the same kind of system; each draws its own ideas from reality and the likes. They maybe country different, but all in all, the methods are the same. Comics can also be black and white as shown…
- Anime is different that cartoon; it is an inspiration. Anime is created from Manga while Cartoons are created from comics and the likes. Even though Manga and Comics are the similar, manga is black and while most of the time. Whereas comics is full blown colour. Therefore,…
- 336.
Frozen is overrated
For
- First off I am a female and secondly my opponent has made so many misspellings I couldn't tell whether or not him mistaking me for a female was intentional or an accident. I can easily rebuttal my opponent's accusation by saying not once have I said in my previous argument that…
- I apologize for my unexpected forfeit but I missed a couple of things in my argument about 9 seconds before posting. UNIQUENESS In the beginning I was convinced that Frozen was an unbelievably unique and a fully-thought-out film. .. until I discovered Frozen was practically a…
Against
- As pro has forfeited, I decline to provide argument as I can not rebut unmade claims.
- I accept and await pro's arguments. Voters should also be cognizant of Frozen's intent. It's not intended to be some profound cinematic paragon, but rather a endearing, "cute", feel good type film. Good luck pro.
- 337.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a better composer than Richard Wagner
For
- To touch quickly on the part about emotion: I didn't attack Wagner because there's nothing to attack, but there is a stigma against Mozart's music for being "too happy." Now, there is a lot that he wrote for the sake of it sounding good without sounding profound, and I would…
- Sometimes agreeing with the other side can make it fun! Let's begin.It is undoubted that both Mozart and Wagner were excellent composers who made great contributions to music of their time, as well as helped shape the music of today. But I believe that Mozart's music had many…
Against
- I'm sorry I forfeited the third round, it was because I had a week-long trip in which I had no access to the internet. Sorry. Back to the case: There is nothing to attack on the emotions part, as you have just defended it, providing no attack to Wagner's music. You said he was…
- Your point one states that Wagner's pieces are longer than Mozart's. On a side note, Dutchman and Rheingold, the shortest of Wagner's pieces, are about 2.5 hours long, not 3 hours. I will agree to your point, and I also agree that it is quality that matters. The length makes no…
- 338.
Michael Jackson is the greatest pop singer of all time

- To respond to your first point that being the best pop singer of all time does not necessarily mean he has the widest vocal range or most powerful voice. Being the best singer implies that his voice appeals to the most and widest range of people. Obivously we can see this…

- I'd like to start off this debate by acknowledging that I am a huge Michael Jackson fan (music-wise). With that said, although Michael Jackson is one of the most talented and well-known/well-loved performers of our time, there are a few flaws with a) the topic of debate and b)…
- I can rip your entire basis of "proof" that MJ is the 'best' to shreds in just one paragraph (I'll get to that later), but first: 1. Pop Music: music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on…

Established YouTubers unfairly exploit newer creators
For
- I find that the abuse of power by popular youtubers is wrong the fact that they can easily destroy new youtubers by overexposure. I have seen plenty of new up and coming youtubers getting ,,recommended,, by popular youtubers then in a matter of days their subscription goes from…
Against
- Well, thanks! Good luck on YouTube if this is what you're getting at.
- If you agree with me, for the sake of argument, I could take the opposing side and argue that it's good if new YouTubers are advertised by popular YouTubers?

Tony Stark is the best Avengers team member
For
- Okay, first off, what the heck does a crappy childhood have to do with a fight in which the heroes are in their current fighting ability? Sure, Captain America got the crap beat out of him as a kid, and Hulk had a bad dad, but Tony Stark also had his OWN problems. His mother…
- I thank you for acknowledging my points in this debate, for Tony Stark is TRULY the brains of the Avengers. You call Tony Stark a geek, and you say anyone can build a suit like his, but his skills in Mechanics have saved his life, for he is truly a genius. Have you ever met…
Against
- Iron man might be an efficient robot but is not the best avenger.Of all the characters, Tony Stark has barely anything to avenge. Hulk was abused as a kid, saw his father stab his mother and was tormented by scientists for simply being what he is. Thor had the throne stolen…
- Hulk can't die.Hulk is strong enough to lift and/or break anything and anyone (even a god like Loki).Thor can control thunder and has a hammer that can smash lightning into you that only he can lift.Hawkeye has the most flawless aim and secret agent ability of anyone in the…

Gossip Girl is the best TV show
For
- Massivedump has really good arguments, but I don't know how willing I am to debate reviews, ratings, and other people's opinions. I was kind of more interested in hearing his own take on the how his show is better than gossip girl :P Anyways, I forgot about this debate, and the…

Against
- All the arguments my opponent presented are based solely on opinion. However, the reviews on the international Movie Database et. al. beg to differ on my opponent's unprecidented beliefs:Seinfeld: "the brilliance of Seinfeld lies... in the endless, pointlessly smug and…

Minecraft is better than Roblox

- Roblox is worse than minecraft in (almost) every single way. Minecraft has much better physics, better graphics, more mature people (on average) and has much more to offer.

- This debate is not a matter of winning or losing. Source maybe whatever , its the matter which i believe in. I am not sure if you are aware of this quote by Pablo Picasso "Good artists copy, great artists steal". Which is besides the point. The debate was about which band being…
Against
- It is such a great disappointment that Pro even defended his case of "Plagiarism" instead of asking for an apology. He tries to emphasize a quote from Picasso, which is, irrelevant unto his case of defending the act he committed. No where in the debate did I divert the topic…
- I have noticed that everything Pro wrote was a copy-paste from Opeth's Wine on Yahoo! Answers. Here is the exact article: http://answers.yahoo.com... He didn't gave any recognition to such source, thus Pro has committed the act of plagiarism. Plagiarism being defined by…

Children should not be allowed to play violent video games

Goku would beat Naruto in a fight

- I am the one to say that Naruto will lose to Goku. You are debating against Naruto winning against Goku. So you gave me the points unless you state the real argument than I will respond right now your giving me points vote pro
Against
- You actually argued the wrong point from the start, you were supposed to be arguing that Naruto could beat Goku. My argument was that Goku can, and always will beat Naruto.
- Naruto cannot beat Goku. Naruto gets the majority of his power from the nine tailed fox, while Goku has trained vigorously throughout his life and becomes stronger after every battle. While Naruto has also trained a lot, Goku has won the majority of his battles, and even when…

Anime characters are more powerful than cartoon characters
For
- In terms of strength, anime characters are much more stronger, creative and better than regular cartoons. Their abilities range from being able to predict movements, traveling through different dimensions and immortality. There's an anime for everyone to watch, some are for…
- Anime characters (Japanese cartoons) would definitely win against regular American cartoon characters if there was to be a war between the two. Characters like Spiderman, Superman, Batman and other cartoon characters going up against Luffy, Naruto, Goku and other anime characters
Against
- If there was a war between them I think that one, anime characters would be greatly outnumbered and two, cartoon characters would win because anime although is slightly more realistic they would not have a specific important recourse. This is a power I believe only found in…
- Anime characters are not as powerful as other cartoon characters because cartoon characters are many types of art rather than one. This means that they can use many different forums of expression where as anime characters are restricted to there own art. I will not argue that…

Modern music is declining in quality
For
- Thank you for the debate. My opponent thinks that just because something is popular, it's quality is good. This is inconclusive evidence and can not be withstood by itself, and therefore is not actual evidence. However, if my opponent could tell reasons WHY people liked it, it…
- Once more, my opponent has listed things that are considered "good" by public OPINION and not fact. Therefore, my arguments still stand.
Against
- First of all, if the public like it that means that it is good thus it is fact. If the public didn't like it then it would not be there and a load of older songs would be on the list and I would not be able to us the list. So my list and my original arguments are still…
- For my second argument I am not going to go on about the 'elder generation' I am simpley going to go on about all the number 1's in the past year to prove that modern music is good. This is a bit different but I don't care. Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling David Huetta feat.…
