• You think I'm only taking about super hero comics aren't you? I have read many comics that are not based on superheroes and are deep, meaningful and springing. But that doesn't mean superheroes can't be inspiring too. Watchmen is considered one of the greatest comics ever and…
• *sighs* I posted what i wanted to argue. My case is that comics should be taken more seriously because they can have deep, meaningful stories and complex characters just like any novel.

• If this is not already a poor argument (I will state below) Con has violated a few rules which I set out. Q1: "Ok it watch both movies and I really don't like any,but if i really had to choose it would be twilight."It's great that you enjoyed the movie but rule one does state…

• I will someday finish 7. Kefka still stands as the most despicable and insane boss of all time. I will admit that 6's story is a little weak in the second half of the game because it becomes nothing but sidequests, but nothing is better than the World of Balance and first part…
• Kefka was a better villain than Sephiroth. Not only did he attempt to destroy the world, he in fact destroyed it and caused the creation of the World of Ruin. 7 wasn't the worst game, but the story wasn't that amazing. However, I admit that I haven't completed the game, so…

• Beginner songs do tend to look easier than more advanced songs. You can judge a song by how it looks. An advanced piano song looks very different front a beginner piano song. This advanced piano song [1] looks a lot different from a grade one piano song [2]. And yet that simple…
• Guitarist songs are simple to look at. Each of them is usually one note after one note. That is unlike piano songs which can have up to ten notes or more depending on if you use the sustain pedal. You may think that a guitar solo is spectacular and that the guitarist is skilled…

• The primary aim of cinema is to entertain the masses. Cinema is one of the major source of entertainment in this global village. Long back cinema served the purpose of educating but in these days it is only just meant for entertainment and it does not teach moral values to the…

• I disagree with the idea that its is hard to master vehicles in Halo. A new player in a scorpion can take out a team of SR-130s easily. The problem is that most vehicles are either one hit, one kill, or will kill a player in a matter of a few seconds. A shot from a scorpion can…
• Skills come in many different forms, all of halo's skill comes from fps, but Battlefield's skill comes from many things other than mastery of fps. To be an effective Battlefield player you can't just be a good infantry man, its like mastering how to walk in Halo, you have to…

• I thank PR for his splendid response. Refutations/Defense: Re: One is responsible for his/her actions. My opponent made this argument as an attempt to refute some of my premises, but failed to give accurate reasoning to rebut it. His response was that it's a ridiculous argument…

• Thank you for pointing out my mistake. But my entire point is that so many people under 15 play halo that ESRB should lower the rating because it doesn't matter if it is M. People are still going to play it, and call of duty 2 (ww2) is T for Blood, swearing, and violence. Halo…
• All good points, however I've heard of people in 3rd grade beating halo within 24 hours of getting it. I've also played a game with more swearing and mature situations that was teen.

• 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…

• I start off my saying that Skrillex is not music, not even dubstep. It's just noises thrown into a beat that don't even sound good, just hurt your brain. He is up for a Grammy, WHY? It's not music it's just noise. Most of the songs he does are just dumb and noises over covered…

• To start off, I will point out the fact that Doctor Who (premiered 1963) has been on much longer than Star Trek has - almost fifty years! Star Trek started a few years after Doctor Who (1966), and as of 2005, has not shown regular episodes. Doctor Who, although it took a break…
• This debate is just for fun. No need to show off and use big words if you don't want to. Just keep your grammar and spelling readable. I myself like both Doctor Who and Star Trek very much, but I chose to fight for the Doctor because that show is my all time favorite. Hence why…

• The goverment should limit the amount of commercials because some stations show too many. The stations with infocommercials late at night should not be allowed to show them. If a station does not follow the laws it will not be a station.
• The amount of tv commercials should be monitored because I think they show too many commercials. The goverment should make a law on how many commercials can be shown or there should be no commercials.
