Thank you for a good debate this far. I tried the best I could to spell out what I personally follow, in the opening of the first round. (I didn't do it perfectly though, since you thought that I valued happiness as supreme), I will try to do better next time to spell out all of my beliefs.
And yes, it's acceptable. I didn't think of them being brought up in that way, but the way you brought them up is completely okay.
My main question is who would pay for millions of uniforms in various sizes,(probably multiple for each student so they didn't wear the same thing everyday). The US government already has a budget problem, and people don't want to pay more taxes
As for the oscillatory and fluctuating models, yes they are wrong, and have been dead and buried before I was born. That's why I didn't use them in the debate.
As for the philosophical and scientific arguments against a beginningless universe, I will respond to them when/if MarkWebberFan brings them up in the debate.
If the debate isn't rated, will and win/loss be recorded in my statistics? I know my rating for the leaderboard wouldn't change, but what about my win percentage?
I can make another unrated debate right now, since my last attempt at This debate auto deleted, and this one has been up for 4 days(at the posting if this comment)
P1 everything that begins to exist has a cause
P2 the universe began to exist
C1 the universe has a cause
The conceptual analysis:
P3. Whatever caused all of matter to exist cannot be made of matter (immaterial).
P4. Whatever caused all of the spatial dimensions to exist must exist independent of spatial dimensions (spaceless).
P5. Whatever caused all of time to exist must exist independent of time (timeless).
P6. Whatever caused the universe to exist must be powerful.
C2. The cause of the universe is immaterial, spaceless, timeless, and powerful.
P7. If the cause of the universe is immaterial, spaceless, and timeless, then it must be a personal agent.
C3. Therefore, the universe has an immaterial, timeless, spaceless, powerful, and personal
The reason I didn't post the syllogism was to ensure the person knows the argument, however, I you say you know the Kalam Cosmetological Argument, I can post the exact syllogism I'll use in the comments, that way you can prepare for the debate
so basically a debate of whether we will ever achieve "hard" (or "strong") AI.

I wish I could accept this debate. I have shown that I'm at least a competent debater.

Yes that's true. and for that reason I would like to accept, however, I already have a debate going.
will this be the end to orogami's win streak?
had to cut out 1000 words from my 3rd round argument to be under the 10,000 word limit. LOL.
Yes, this will be the challenge I have been waiting for. Win or loss, this debate is going to be my favorite I have had so far.
My main question is who would pay for millions of uniforms in various sizes,(probably multiple for each student so they didn't wear the same thing everyday). The US government already has a budget problem, and people don't want to pay more taxes
Yes I agree, again I must say that he would have done well, or even have won the debate. But hey, another easy win.
MarkWebberFan definitely had the ability to at least to do well in this debate, or even win
True
thank you for your advice

Yep, no problem

I made one, I was going to make you the automatic opponent, but I wanted to give you time to prepare, if you need to.

I had to leave some type of comment, since I defended Utilitarianism in my first debate.
everyone cast your votes (as of the writing of this comment, you only have 1 day left). Ragnar, thankyou for voting and thankyou for your advice
The ultimate debate.
Is there a God?
Leave your votes please
I'm not to interested in the forum. I joined the site for the debates. Intelligent_06 will win anyway, so it's not to big of a deal. thanks though.
I take back my comment about voting, I didn't know that must have completed two debates or 100 forum posts before voting. Silly me.
Definitely voting Intelligence_06. crossed's whole argument was cherry-picking data.
Oh, okay.
I'm very interested to see who will accept this debate
What do you mean by this is rough Sum1hugme?
I needed to cut 700 words from my second argument, to make it under 10,000 words so I can publish it. LOL.
