Limiting economic inequality should be a more important social goal than maximizing (cont.)

Round 3: FIGHT! The definition I have for this debate are as follows: Justice: Giving an individual his or her fair due (Black's Law) Observation 1: The title is not the actual topic The title spot did not allow for the whole topic to fit. The topic that we will debate is "Limiting economic inequality should be a more important social goal than maximizing economic freedom" Observation 2: What is best for the society should be the more important goal. This follows simple logic. ...

State's should fight to lower the drinking age

First, I wish my opponent good luck and may the best debater win. The one definition(taken from Black's Law Dictionary) I have is: Justice: giving an individual his/her fair due. Observation 1: "States's" is a typo made on the Facebook page and is actually mean to be "States". This is the only logical conclusion as it breaks grammar rules in its current form and the change I mentioned is the only one that makes the topic make sense. Observation 2: The "states" that are being referre...

Resolved: The Angry Video Game Nerd is better than the Irate Gamer.

I believe AVGN is better than the Irate Gamer. I define 'better' as- 'of superior quality.' I will seek to explain why AVGN is better than Irate by looking at a few areas of analysis. 1. Irate is not better because he simply copies the AVGN. The Irate Gamer joined Youtube 8 months after AVGN, and built his channel and videos exactly like the AVGN. They review several of the same games, each one of which AVGN reviewed first. Irate even goes as far as to copy exact dialogue from AVGN in 'Teenag...

Cheekyhobo should become an everyday slang or dictionary word

Too many people overlook that there are many forms of cultures in our world. I happen to be apart of the cheekyhobo culture from Zing-Zong. I beg pardon to all who I may have offended and pray that you shall see that I am correct in assuming that cheekyhobos are just nice people. I hope that people will start using the word in everyday passings and I will advocate that it can be good, bad, loving, or just playful. One day I hope all persons can be a cheekyhobo like me!...

About Me

"Usage - Me is used in many constructions where strict grammarians prescribe I. This usage is not so much ungrammatical as indicative of the shrinking range of the nominative form: me began to replace I sometime around the 16th century largely because of the pressure of word order. I is now chiefly used as the subject of an immediately following verb. Me occurs in every other position: absolutely <who, me?>, emphatically <me too>, and after prepositions, conjunctions, and verbs, including be <come with me> <you're as big as me> <it's me>. Almost all usage books recognize the legitimacy of me in these positions, especially in speech; some recommend I in formal and especially written contexts after be and after as and than when the first term of the comparison is the subject of a verb."
