also perception is reality is ridiculously easy to win as con. Your brain's information is different from what is actually seen; you interpret and manipulate reality in your favor. You're basically saying whatever people think changes reality. But obviously dreams are not real. So perception =/= reality

thats weird man

of course. Just talkin over with That1User

I've been going back to lucid dreaming and having a good time. Share your best dreams here. Astound and surprise me, give me ideas!

yeah. Depending on topic I'm either as good as top 10 or as bad as bottom 10. It's too inconsistent XD

or better yet, Tie/Defeat D_D or intelligence to prove you can replace intel

I think that was a fluke. Do it again.

I underestimated Ayyantu. Tell you what, if you can beat me without forfeiting I'll let you be the backup for intelligence

if you manage to defeat intel, would you like to try to defeat weakeredge first as a "mini-boss" kind of test before fighting Whiteflame? or are you confident in your skills?

Backup:

Theweakeredge (contemplating about making him a mini boss since jump from intel to whiteflame is pretty big)

Undefeatable

You forfeit too much. You are definitely not as good as D_D.

I think your style of argument is more for actual implementation or logic of ideas. Based on what I've seen, you would probably lose in a debate against weakeredge about if Death Penalty was moral or immoral, but you would destroy him either way with actual implementation (deterrence, impact of different execution methods, etc.). With your debate about firing squad vs Nitrogen you showed because you valuate impacts better than the average person you are able to show the problems lacking in terms of practicality. However, MisterChris tends to take a vague overall ideology approach (remember how he compared absolute vs relative poverty in globalization), that is harder for "impact based" ideology to defeat. That would explain why Raisor couldn't beat Imabench with Lion King vs Frozen. Raisor is golden with politics because it's a very widely agreed upon topic where many experts can easily show why you can't like, drill in Alaska, or use fossil fuels, or anything else. With Lion King vs Frozen, he's forced to think about cinematic elements which is heavily out of his league. Even you would lose against Imabench in my opinion. Yes, you could ask, "where is the impact of the 'true love' message in Frozen", but the fact of matter is he could still show that Frozen's unexpected twist, despite its stupidity, shows Disney's willingness to break out of its shell. And the songs are indeed more meaningful than Hakuna Matata or Can You Feel the Love Tonight. 

unless Oromagi miraculously votes in 2 hours in Sum1's favor, it's your turn up to bat. Are you ready, or do we have to skip you and go to intelligence_06?

hah, thanks for valuing my opinion. Don't take it too serious. I have some absurd bias for some random songs. My perfect score list is outdated and half of them I don't even listen to any more (http://prntscr.com/vnnpos)

A is pretty rare for me to be honest, especially with regards to electronic songs. If you add in a piano, a catchy chorus, and maybe violin I'll probably instantly give you A. 

ask and you shall receive

So quick? Yes, quick. Short and quick makes the humor go round.

With the debate finally over and in the clear, it's safe to say that Oromagi's incredible 95 win streak has finally ended with his most recent debate. We are awaiting Fruit's response and his feelings for achieving a feat supposed to be impossible. And Oromagi's grand speech, if he will give any. We don't know if Ragnar will suffer a similar lost, but there are definitely tough competitors out here.

With Supadudz on a debating haitus, the mysterious yet skilled Undefeatable has taken up good old Chris in the finals topic previously agreed upon! Regardless of who wins, it'll definitely be good practice for MisterChris. And if Chris ends the man's namesake, that would further solidify the difficulty to defeat him. It's a nail-biting battle for sure. Undefeatable's case looks like it might have some flaws here and there, but it's quite complicated to take apart.

It's unfortunate to see the very man who created the DART bard and similar threads go, but it looks like I'll have to take up the torch instead! Yes. I've got funny jokes, humor, music, everything. Well, maybe not quality debating. We'll have to see about that. In any case, I just hope that this is the end of the pattern of users dropping like flies.

And that's all for this edition! It may have been short, but it's better to keep it nice and neat. No one wants to read an insanely long thread.

ohhh what's your reddit

wait, how are you managing to collab with other artists? owo

boi. that's just a thread. You can say any crazy view you want, give whatever evidence. Throw around ideas however. It's a place to share the ideas. The way you phrased your disagreement just was too much on the nose tbh

to be fair, you were the one that first accused of extreme action and saying it was bad.

NUUUUuuuuu everyone is leaving the site ;.;

maybe.

you asked for it, you got it (well, lovesick anyways) https://wordpress.com/post/favesongs.wordpress.com/4784

though his username seems obvious, his profile picture suggests otherwise. Legends say his username is pronounced "Earn the fated blade". When you defeat him he will put your name on the blade as a reminder of his lost, for eternity.

also, if you were wondering how minimum wage can be one of my strongest topics, despite being so short, it's because I did a lot of research on it for school. Here's my layout

since sir Anonymous was doing these kind of things, I thought it would be fun to try my hand as well.

Welcome to 9sk news ed 1, where I will be enlightening you on various things happening in DART community!

You knew this was gonna be the headline. Though Ragnar is beyond anyone's reach due to being ridiculously careful about topics, Oromagi gladly chose a challenging one. As Whiteflame notes, two divergent viewpoints clashed each other, with little room for true rebuttal and analysis. With only 5k character limit, Oromagi's framework was opposed by Fruit inspector, and agreed upon by many voters to be defeated. Oromagi likely would've wanted it to  be the 100th debate to be his lost, but... 95's a pretty good number too. A moment of silence for the rank 1 debater on DART (though he will still be rank 1 after losing).

Good old Mall, with his standard questioning technique, has gone up against two identical solutions with two different debaters (https://www.debateart.com/debates/2620-your-proposal-to-the-race-problem, https://www.debateart.com/debates/2608-your-proposal-to-the-race-problem). He questions whether it is truly solving the problem to have people go extinct in order to solve racism. He'll probably lose, but it does bring an interesting moral dilemma -- is it justifiable to kill all of man kind, to resolve racism? It's hard to say for sure.

Bearman who got a Baker's dozen plus one wins is unfortunately quitting the site for unknown reasons. We have not yet confirmed the identity of his alter ego. Though a little bird tells us it is DynamicSquid (https://www.debateart.com/participants/DynamicSquid). We will miss the fuzzy bear man. 

Theweakeredge has been going crazy on forums! He's been telling everyone to ask him anything, and teach him on crazy stuff, even My Little Pony (https://www.debateart.com/forum/topics/5153-teach-theweakeredge-a-lesson-in). Okay, that was me, but still. 

It's difficult to say who will win between him and theweakeredge, but so far he looks good. Madman forfeited all rounds, police sheep forfeited two, and he's winning the systemic racism debate. We don't know how long he'll retain his streak, but he has fulfilled his name to this date. We await to see if anyone will break his streak just yet.

oh sure. I guess weaker edge can be the backup then. Or maybe in between mini boss if you want.

Backup: Undefeatable

plus your arg is more against addiction in general than the flaws of pornography.

If I am so addicted to giving money away that I am in complete poverty, my philanthropy destroyed my life

If I am addicted to eating and become obese and fail to work out, the normal necessity to life, destroyed my life

addiction kills, not pornography

everything good in moderation 

IP itself is not dangerous until used daily https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5387769/

Btw how much do you know about music? Only the psychology aspect?

ok I'll be a bit more serious and teach you something useful.

 For example, the AV Start law gives manufacturers exemptions for vehicles, allowing potential loopholes in regulation, and isn’t comprehensive enough. (“Potential challenges include increased costs, liability and licensing issues, privacy considerations, security and cybersecurity concerns, and potential job losses”) [10]. In contrast, the Self-Drive Act sets up basic standards, which reaffirms the safety of the consumers, role of government, and sets up a good framework for a starting point. The German Road Traffic act details autonomous cars with a better description. They also speak of users' liabilities, in contrast to US laws. “These provisions determine those rights and duties (responsibilities) that can be exercised… by the driver”, Juhasz describes. [11] This idea of customer responsibility echoes back to his personal stance about Artificial Intelligence and needs for detail on laws concerning the software in general. 

(this is self-plagiarized and the numbered sources keep re-numbering themselves due to how DART works. Just ignore irrelevant sources)

honestly i kind of wanted to troll you without doing any actual research lol

MLP:FiM is a show about friendship, magic, and friendship magic. It has six mane/main characters who each resemble great amount of characterization and have gone under a lot of change during the entire series. This topic is important because it's good to see which kind of personality and actions are desirable in real life, despite the fiction genre of the show.

Twilight Sparkle: https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Twilight_Sparkle

Twilight represents all that is rational and smart, but she is also very absorbed with books. Her talent of magic has brought her far in her academic success, but has failed in terms of friendship, hence why Princess Celestia sent her on a friendship lesson quest. She has a maniac like obsession with getting good grades and being successful. She is good at organization, team work, and she has great interaction with her foal baby sitter along with her Big Brother, Best Friend Forever, Shining Armor.  However, without the effects of friendship, she becomes very selfish and needy, even becoming evil and difficult to reason with. Her nerdy nature and lonely independence is a double-edged sword, for certain. 

Pinkie is all that is happy and optimistic in this world. She always bounces with fluffy hair, loves party, socializing, and telling jokes. While seemingly good, her hyper state can be overwhelming, and she admits that she can seem shallow at times. So despite all her partying skills, she can be insecure. Merely being excluded from information about a secret party had brought her to an insane sadness that is absurd. And the fact that others may be more impressive to her friends, makes her also feel insecure about her own ideals. Even so, she is the main comedic aspect in the entire show. She breaks the fourth wall constantly and completely warps the narratives. You can find her doing the most show-breaking things, and singing the most songs happily.

Rarity is classy, generous, and loves beauty. As a result, she loves being the center of attention, which can result in her seeming to be stuck-up. Her love of being clean had caused problems with her sister, and led to lack of self-sacrifice, despite her generosity. Her ability to sew clothes is unparalleled, and she handled Spike (Twilight's dragon)'s crush was very well done. Her ability to find gems does not deter her own ideas of wanting a different career than her mark that tells her "you are best at this". With her being the only exception in this compared to the other five, this goes to show just how much she values her personal opinion.

If you couldn't tell from the name, Fluttershy is reserved, kind, and a caretaker of animals. She usually had trouble with asserting herself, but gradually found way in knowing what she was good at. Her infamous "the Stare" talked down many different types of dangerous animals, and proved that she had her own abilities. Fluttershy takes her responsibilities seriously as a caretaker, and has managed to even talk down Discord, a spirit of chaos, into sympathizing with her. Her acceptance and forgiving of any pony and any being makes her the peak level of Confucius type thinking among the mane six. The only problem is that she is often kept to herself, rather than willing to expose herself to others.

Rainbow Dash is awesome, loyal, and "20% cooler" than you. She's fast in the sky and she was the one who broke through in her ability, causing a "sonic rainboom" that inspired everyone else to learn their talent. Though she is so confident that she can be arrogant, and refuse to even read books, she is not completely beyond hope. As she exposes herself to nerdier things, she aspires to become the Wonderbolts, racers for Equestria, and also to grow a liking to Daring Do (basically pony Indiana Jones). She can be brash and mischievous at times, especially with pranks that go beyond what Pinkie normally does, but she comes around in the end if you let her realize she needs to be humble.

AJ is honest, from the good old country, and persistent. She is the only one out of the mane six who declared that she didn't learn a thing and that she was right all along. Her ability to work hard on the farm, and almost never tell a lie, combine together to a nearly perfect character. Especially since the show never tackled Categorial Imperatives. You Kant just do that, MLP. Anyways. She personally strongly believes in her causes, especially her family and her apple farm. Though this can go far in terms of bias. In the best episode of MLP ever, her sister found out that her mother was with the opposing family -- the Pear's. Not to mention she had bias against the bats that ate up her apples, without thinking of why they might be doing this. So even though AJ is down to earth, this can some time cause trouble in things that require more innovation.

In conclusion, you who likely knew nothing about MLP now can judge who the mane six are. You are enlightened. With that, go forth and conquer. Find out, who is best pony.

I wrote a poem a long time ago. Any feedback is appreciated.

A Medieval Tale

have some more here.

Undefeatable:

Alternative Energy cannot be shaken. I am winning from this point alone.

Here is in-depth analysis of five different sources of why my stance is superior.

Opponent's stance is definitely imperfect and he cannot win because of these impacts.

Theweakeredge: Philosophically, we must consider the state of mankind, behavior, and analyze from there on, why the nature of alternative energy will not effectively replace fossil fuels.

Sum1hugme: Here are four neat little reasons why alternative energy is superior.

who are you on DDO? your style doesn't represent anyone I know. You certainly aren't Bsh1, Mikal, Roy, or Whiteflame.

I've checked, and I'm pretty sure this is the first vote ever taken up against him... even against Jeff, Ragnar tied rather than voting against. https://www.debateart.com/debates/2564-thbt-wikipedia-is-a-more-reliable-source-for-information-than-fox-news

What an exciting turn of events. I'm eager to see if Oromagi eventually regrets choosing the 7 points system, or if someone counters Athias. It would infer fruit is much stronger than he seems, and virtuoso is stronger yet.

ooo i I like that idea

what do you mean, not accepting it

I've seen three of them but none of them have went well. I'd gladly do any topic. Up for a group debate?

you said:

- white power is not wrong

- white supremist does not exist

- Trump is not a racist

- Hitler was not a racist

- Atheist are religious

I think this website helps too. So taking my anti-smoking argument, Direct Clash would be, individually counter the Environment point with cars. A global clash would be Personal Autonomy weighted against health harms. While Core Clash would be, asking me to show why prohibition is superior to regulation.

you still only have claims and you don't have all the parts of an argument. As one example lays out (https://saskdebate.ca/resources/resources-for-students/basic-argument-construction) :

Label: Bike lanes are safer for cyclists
Explain: Both being on sidewalks and unprotected roads can be dangerous for cyclists. If unknowing pedestrians or cars fail to see cyclists, it can be incredibly dangerous. Cyclists are threatened in both places making cycling an inaccessible option for people. 
Example: In New York city, the introduction of smart bike lanes led to a 56% reduction in injuries to all street users. This included large reductions for cyclists, pedestrians, and fewer collisions overall. 
Tieback: Because bike lanes provide a safer environment for all traffic it is critical that we form protected bike lanes on all major streets. 

You need more information to prove your argument, even with no sources provided.

makes sense. The agent is necessary to resolve the problem of God. I was thinking of a counter argument where God is the collective thinking of humanity (as an agent, if objective morality can exist, then this may be the transcendental "God"), but I realized this doesn't make any sense lol.

also I just thought of something... why can't the idea of "science" be god?

science created the universe: the big bang

science concerns all knowledge (omniscience) of the truth of the universe (gravity, speed of light, black hole force, etc.)

science, being applied philosophy, may extend to the morality and upbringing up people (as we clearly suffer), leading towards a society of good and benefit (omnibenevolent..ish. Not an usual requirement for most gods though)

science constrains all the laws of the universe and is responsible for all actions executed (omnipotence... in a kind of way)

though I guess the problem is that science is an alternating view of the world that changes based upon observation and experience, while God is an overarching constant who listens to few, if any.
