Don't get me wrong cause I love Harry Potter too. It's a good story, with a good plot, and an oaky antagonist, but Star Wars is better, and the sith are way better then the deathearers in almost [note the word almost] every way shape and form. Sidious [I dunno about Vader] owns Voldermort! I DARE ANY OF YOU TO DEFY MY DIVINE LOGIC! FOR THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE SHALL ALWAYS BE THE SUPERIOR TO DARK SORCERY! I wanna set down some brief ground rules. -First off, I would like my opponant to be at least somewhat informed about the Star Wars Universe. -Secondly, try not to take this debate too seriously. Its fun to mess around every once in a while, and it tends not to piss off the starwars/harry potter fanboys too much when your just joking, but that doesnt mean that every statement should be a joke. -Lastly, try to have fun and keep entertained. Don't just take up this debate because your bored, take it because your interested. To the voter http://www.debate.com/debates/The-Sith-are-better-than-The-DeathEaters/1/comments/ 2008-07-01T03:37:46-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Joke-Competition/1/ I've seen a few of these in the past, and thought I'd give it a try...the rules of the competition are as follows: 1. Each round a new joke will be posted as your "argument" 2. The Pro and Con positions mean nothing in terms of the arugment. 3. There is a limit of one joke per round. 4. The loser will have to individually wash the corns of the winner's feet. Scratch rule #4. Let the Joke Competition begin! One midsummer's evening, two sight-seers were captured by a native jungle tribe. They were tied up in ropes and vines to chairs, and placed in the center of the tribe. The tribe's leader, a fat, sweaty, cannibalistic man with multiple nose piercings, approached the two sight-seers. "You white pigs!" he said. "You see our people as nothing more than eye candy to snap your flashy lens things with! We punish you people for your disrespect to our esteemed tribe!" The tribe leader sneered. "But, we kind and generous enough to give you two choices. You!" he point http://www.debate.com/debates/Joke-Competition/1/comments/ 2008-07-02T10:52:51-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/The-rights-of-infants-in-the-womb-should-sometimes-trump-the-rights-of-the-mother/2/ The Mother has the final say in this, since it is her body. Some women might have a better understaning on the man´s role if he is around and the child that´s on it´s way OR NOT. http://www.debate.com/debates/The-rights-of-infants-in-the-womb-should-sometimes-trump-the-rights-of-the-mother/2/comments/ 2008-07-02T10:02:45-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/The-game-Bioshock-along-with-others-would-make-a-great-film-or-novel./1/ This isn't a very serious debate. It's only one round because I won't be able to respond to any other rounds. Gamers are virtually the only people who realize the sheer entertainment value in the narrative of many video games alone. The reason the give video games a storyline, is so the game is more memorable, and the story sticks with them. For a lot of games, the story is the most memorable part of a game after it's played. Now, as you might or might not know, the new Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, is very much based on it's story, as it is the last game in the series. Now, this has sparked a debate that frankly, I'm glad is finally happening. They're debating whether the stories of games can be as entertaining as a film or novel. And, there shouldn't be a debate to this, but yes, they do have that entertainment value. If you don't think so, you probably don't play many video games, or you haven't played the right games, the games which have a story http://www.debate.com/debates/The-game-Bioshock-along-with-others-would-make-a-great-film-or-novel./1/comments/ 2008-06-30T04:06:28-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Medical-Boards-is-the-gates-of-hell/1/ Well, I think Medical boards are the gates of hell. Here is why: 1.) For a full 8 hour work day all one will do that works here will process a never ending pile of paperwork that will never be completed. 2.) Our LT is ugly and resembles satan, minus the pitch fork. And wears werid bright pink lip stick that makes her teeth look alot more yellow due to the contrast. 3.) When you step in to the office, Time slows down to almost a stand still. Therefore making the day feel like years instead of hours. 4.) We are stuck in an office with no contact with the outside world, and it is about equalvlant to sitting in a closet, with no air flow. With the combination of computers and machines turned on all day plus body heat, Turns the office in to a Sauna to exceed temputres of 110+ F. http://www.debate.com/debates/Medical-Boards-is-the-gates-of-hell/1/comments/ 2008-06-29T08:00:55-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/hi.-hi.-hi.-hi.-hi.-hi./1/ hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. hi. :) this has to be 100 letters so i am just writing a whole bunch of random stuff. sorry to the people who think that this is an actual debate. it is not. it is just something really random. so yeah. http://www.debate.com/debates/hi.-hi.-hi.-hi.-hi.-hi./1/comments/ 2008-07-03T08:00:25-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Debate.com-should-have-a-message-system-so-members-can-communicate-more-efficiently./1/ Hello all, I'm bored here so I thought I'd think about ways to change our site. 1- By having a message system, like Myspace or Facebook - as in mail / comments - members will have access to better communication. 2- This will help spand out ideas. Friends can talk about a debate without it being posted on the debates comments, saving room and time. 3- The system will also be similar in the way that you can approve or deny a comment, so no slander will be shown. 4- It will make the site more dynamic. It will have more features, and thus be more fun. In conclusion, if pro wins we should all message the admin's and have this done What do you guys think? http://www.debate.com/debates/Debate.com-should-have-a-message-system-so-members-can-communicate-more-efficiently./1/comments/ 2008-06-21T20:13:29-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/I-believe-that-dogs-are-more-fun-to-have-then-cats./1/ I know there are many people that believe in this topic as well as i do heres a few reasons for me 11. Dogs come when you call them. Cats take a message & get back to you when they are good and ready. 10. Dogs look much better at the end of a leash. 9. Dogs will let you give them a bath without taking out a contract on your life. 8. Dogs will bark to wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door. 7. Dogs will bring you your slippers or the evening newspaper. Cats might bring you a dead mouse. 6. Dogs will play Frisbee with you all afternoon. Cats will take a three-hour nap. 5. Dogs will sit on the car seat next to you. Cats have to have their own private box or they will not go at all 4. Dogs will greet you & lick your face when you come home from work. Cats will be mad that you went to work at all. 3. Dogs will sit, lie down, and heel on command. Cats will smirk and walk away. 2. Dogs will tilt their heads and listen whene http://www.debate.com/debates/I-believe-that-dogs-are-more-fun-to-have-then-cats./1/comments/ 2008-06-19T09:02:32-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./4/ Thanks to my opponent for requesting this debate. If anyone doesn't know how this works, it is quite simple. Each round, each debater posts one joke. Whoever has funnier jokes wins. I will be defending by title and wish good luck to my opponent. :) Men Are Like: ..Placemats. They only show up when there's food on the table. ..Mascara. They usually run at the first sign of emotion. ..Bike helmets. They're good in emergencies but usually just look silly. ..Government bonds. They take so long to mature. ..Copiers. You need them in reproduction but that's about it. ..Lava lamps. Fun to look at it but not all that bright. ..Bank accounts. Without a lot of money they don't generate a lot of interest. ..High heels. They're easy to walk on once you get the hang of it. ..Curling irons. They're always hot and always in your hair. ..Mini skirts. If your not careful they'll creep up your legs. ..Handguns.

Well, here i go. my first reason is: watching late night shows has been connected with poor sleeping patterns in individuals. This result is less concentration by these individuals during daytime, they are less alert and are usually subjected to emotional tramuna. This is my second reason: TV helps proomoting violence in the society. most people cannot differiate between reality and drama. My third reason is that TV can slow down young children's development. It will make students not exercise much. Done! http://www.debate.com/debates/is-tv-harmful/1/comments/ 2008-06-06T04:07:39-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Superman-is-better-than-spiderman/1/ Superman has the muscles,he can fly, lasers can come out of his eyes, and hes bullet proof. His only physical weakness is kryptonite. i mean how could spiderman top that? http://www.debate.com/debates/Superman-is-better-than-spiderman/1/comments/ 2008-06-21T06:00:36-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./3/ Thanks to my opponent for requesting this debate. If anyone doesn't know how this works, it is quite simple. Each round, each debater posts one joke. Whoever has funnier jokes wins. I will be defending by title and wish good luck to my opponent. :) A doctor and a lawyer were talking at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people describing their ailments and asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, "What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?" "I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill." The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer. http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./3/comments/ 2008-06-09T18:03:15-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Im-healthier-each-day-if-I-run-in-wild-park-5-times-than-if-I-walk-in-town-for-an-hour/1/ I go regularly recently to run in Wild Park in my vicinity. I find this benefits me as the fresh air definitely considerably gives me a sense of being alive and well. I find town is less good as I need to dodge and duck and dive everywhere. And I feel this can be less effective in my exercising my body. However I do feel the exercise involved with seeing other people can be a combined effect which creates goodwill. It also helps me get away from the hustleand bustle. Running in town would be pretty hectic. I also feel that if towns were less polluted I might consider it being a valid option. However the fresh air of Wild park when jogging or running offers my lungs a better effect to my lung capacity increasing with time and the cleansed effect of my lungs rejunvenating. I can only say sometimes all naturalness in town escapes me and I do not have a good feeling of grace and oneness when in town with the all man-made stuff around me. I do however sometimes visit the see in parts of t http://www.debate.com/debates/Im-healthier-each-day-if-I-run-in-wild-park-5-times-than-if-I-walk-in-town-for-an-hour/1/comments/ 2008-06-16T10:00:54-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/X-Box-360-than-WII-or-PS3/1/ i will let my oponent choose the console he wants to defend but rememember that this to tell what you will defend only!! http://www.debate.com/debates/X-Box-360-than-WII-or-PS3/1/comments/ 2008-06-12T18:37:45-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./2/ This debate is basically a continuation of a debate that my opponent started with another member. I liked it so much I though I'd challenge him to another. Please take into consideration that my opponent has already used several jokes, so he should be granted a handicap for voting purposes if he choses to except. Also, this debate is strictly for fun, and none of its content should be construed as being intentionally offensive to anyone. As for my first joke: Q: What does Snoop Dog do his laundry with? A: Bleeoch http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./2/comments/ 2008-06-04T19:32:49-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./1/ I saw this somewhere and thought it would be fun. 1 joke per round it doesn't matter how long or short. Dear Child, I am writing this slow because I know that you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home so we moved. I won't be able to send you the address, as the last family that lived here took the house numbers when they left so that they wouldn't have to change their address. This place is real nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure if it works too well though. Last week I put a load in, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since. The weather isn't too bad here., it only rained twice last week, The first time it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Steve said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them i http://www.debate.com/debates/Funnier-Jokes-Wins./1/comments/ 2008-06-03T16:57:47-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/Kratos-God-of-War-I-II-versus-Dante-Devil-MayCry-I-IV-Would-be-a-good-fight/1/ I would be a KICK AZZ FIGHT fo Kratos, weather as a god or as a mortal to fight Dante from Devil MayCry. I can't say who would win, if anybody, can you, if so drop me an arguments.

I enjoy watching the show as do numerous others. I do know however that many people do oppose of the show. I am going to let my opponent begin this debate by bringing up points as to why they are against American Idol. Thanks!!! http://www.debate.com/debates/American-Idol/1/comments/ 2008-06-09T16:01:40-08:00 http://www.debate.com/debates/The-Pok-mon-Diamond-and-Pearl-Battle-Dimension-anime-series-is-less-entertaining-than-the-video-game/1/ The topic pretty much states my position in this debate. I will begin by stating multiple points in favor of my opinion and challenge my opponent (whoever that is =Þ) to render my points obsolete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.There is a (bad) pun in almost all of the episode titles for the anime series. For example, would you consider "Once in a Mawile" and "Luxray Vision" to be entertaining? I personally do not think bad puns are entertaining. 2.The main character(s), Dawn/Ash, started their journey at age 10. Children, even fictional, should not be allowed to leave on a year long (or more, in pokemon's case) trip. I think of this idea as a bad one, and bad ideas are generally not entertaining. Proof that Ash is 10: http://www.pokezam.com/anime/characters/main/ash.php 3.The team's cook, Brock, seems to get food out of nowhere. That, to me, is stupid. Stupid is definently not entertaining. Vote Pro :D http://www.debate.com/debates/The-Pok-mon-Diamond-and-Pearl-Battle-Dimension-anime-series-is-less-entertaining-than-the-video-game/1/comments/ 2008-06-06T22:48:51-08:00
