• I apologize for intruding on your own life but I am only me. Please do not correct me on how I speak because I take great offense from that whether you mean it or not. If the title of this debate bothers yo some then why did you choose to debate? I like the fact that you…
• No, I am not talking about Christmas Pageants. I meant Beauty Pageants. Yes, I agree with you that pageants are Art but there are different forms of Art also. There is Pottery, Expressive drawing, Painting any many more and I guess...Pageantry. You strike me as the type of…

• I am trying to prove that Doctor Who is the best show ever made with facts, not opinions. Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction show ever made. That statistically puts it ahead of all other shows in this category because it shows that this was liked and requested by…
• Doctor Who is definitely the best show ever made. It started in 1963, only 35 years after the television was first sold. Ever since then it has been playing and making new episodes. It has an ongoing fan base, even when not producing episodes. It originally ran for 26 years,…

• I will also stand with my statement that I made saying that it may teach violence but it does not cause violence. My statement on that was more on video gaming developers and so people who enrage themselves in the game because of going on too hard of a difficulty should not be…

• My opponent has forfeited his previous round. As they have forfeited the previous rounds, they have no reason to win now.
• Ugh...I'm going to say this again, I'm honestly tired of all of these people who accept my debates and then give up without even saying "Pass" or anything. It's a main reason I don't use this site anymore is because people either just accept a debate with no intent to finish,…

• Born on September 1, 1996, in Oakland, California, actress and singer Zendaya Coleman comes from a theatrical background. As the daughter of a stage manager, she spent much of her youth hanging around the California Shakespeare Theater. She also trained in the theater's youth…
• Well I'm not really sure if Zendaya wrote the song Swag it Out but she loves to do it. Also she's really good at acting and dancing.

• First off, I don't think your question, "Did you watch last year's Superbowl?" was logical to ask, because in my previous argument, I stated some of the commercials I watched during the Superbowl last year. Not ALL commercials are inappropriate, and I cannot understand why you…
• Thanks for accepting, cody.... < > This statement isn't true. There are Walmart commercials to Fedex commercials, to even CVS Pharmacy commercials! There is a wide variety of commercials that are being shown, and most of them are hilarious. Such as last year's commercials: from…

• 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…

• The Reason I am saying that Batman is better is because if you look at the skill set of each of the heroes than you can see that Batman a.k.a Bruce Wayne has the dominant skill set. Yes Tony Stark is very smart and creates everything he uses to fight crime, but so does Batman…

• Now I want to talk about one more thing witch I think is the reason the news demonizes it. Some games are easy to download and you don't need that much info to get it. These M rated games are on adds everywhere on your computer. Some kids secretly download them on their…
• Okay yes I have played these games to. But I have notice that there is more bullying,sex jokes,bad language in them than reality. This has made me concerned. Some people are fine but on minecraft were there is no blocks people can say what they want bully and not get punished…

• 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…

• In your Section A, I do not underestimate the importance of teens having free time. That is something that is very much important, as I too was once a teenager. I think we can agree that having a child, no matter what age you are is difficult work. The way I see it; When you…

• 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…
