• I am so sorry! My schoolwork was a ton, and by the time I finished it, I was a couple minutes too late! I am afraid I cannot debate right now, but we can reinstate this debate some time in the future. I hope I didn't waste any of your time, and again, I'm sorry.

• Hey man, easy. I said this wasn't a serious debate (although I still like Batman the best) but you don't have to call me a pleb. Now to get on with the "debate".Again, Batman has already beat The Flash technically. Yes I like The Flash, so I am not technically biased, but I…
• This debate is not a "troll" debate, but it isn't serious either. Most funny arguments if you would like. Good luck.Batman could defeat any superhero in the justice league. Now some of you may think, "No there are people that are invincible in the justice league." Well, you're…

• Marvel is better than DC Comics. The Marvel Universe expands over 500 different heroes and villains while creating icons such as: Spider-Man X-Men The Fantastic Four The Avengers and more recently, Deadpool. With such a wide range of themes, powers, worlds, and appeals, Marvel…
• Well, I'd like to start by pointing out is that I think Marvel is much more original on some key elements. One is names. I think DC overuses "man" in their names. Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Animal Man, Wonder Woman. Another element is characterization. I think Marvel characters…

• In The Dark Night Rises Heath Leger (In my own opinion) was much better for a couple of reasons:1: While Jack Nicholson was a good Joker has "equipment" was more then gag weapons such as the the flower on the shirt.2: When Heath played the Joker he didn't have the sort of…

• Again. Roger Waters is the lead singer and good writer. But single-handedly David Gilmour has more depth. He has a vary vast array of musical talents. And he can play the piano too. This man is the backbone of Pink Floyd. He has stood the test of time, and his solo projects are…
• David Gimour gave us a Grammy winning album called the "Division Bell". It is a classic and Pink Floyds stunning 1990's debut without yet again, Roger Waters. This proved that Gilmours song writing ability is every bit as great, if not better, than Waters himself. He has had a…

• I debated this twice already. First time went well. Second time the time ran out on the second round and it still hasn't updated for round three yet (http://www.debate.org...)so I'm doing this again. First round is acceptance. All the terms I needed to define are in the…

• Beauty padgents should be banned because it leaves the children thinking they are all grown up and think they are fat and ugly because they dont enjoy how they look.

• The Kid is a solid example of a film, and its an under-rated in that. You say we differ in over-rated "rated too highly" is what dictionary.com has for it's definition. Let's for example, dwell into that definition. You and I both have said its not the best movie ever made..But…
• From a technical aspect, this film is astounding! It really is. The amount of technical skill that is put into the film, it really blows the mind. Almost every shot is constructed brilliantly. The use of light and focus and matte paintings and camera movement is simply awesome.…

• The Empire/First Order is for the greater good for the galaxy. It is also a greater good for Pro to win this round. If Con comes back in Round 3, he can still rest his case. But, points are still going to be counted off.

• 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…

• In Cheers, the bar was the anchor. Although the majority of the shots were filmed there, there were great moments outside of it. Sam and Diane's first night together, the Gary's Olde Town Tavern episodes, and of course, the series finale had parts in Melville's and on a plane.…
