Nate River vs. Light Yagami (kira)
It seems that many fans of the Death Note series have found the fact that Nate River was able to defeat Light Yagami a simple fluke. They seem to think that it was all some sort of spontanious shot of brillance that helped him win. Nate River has a extremely high IQ, he saw through many forms of deception and kept to his solitary belief in what his "Mentor" left him with. This was that, no matter how many steps and investigations were done, Light Yagami seemed to come out squeaky clean, which...
The debate.org users monkeyyxxsun and PoeJoe should go on a date
I strongly affirm the resolution "The debate.org users monkeyyxxsun and PoeJoe should go on a date". ---- Contention 1: No Practical Problems ---- Let us get the basics out of the way. (1) I am a male, and you are a female. We are both heterosexual. Therefore, there exists no problems as far as sexual preference goes. (2) According to Google Maps, we live (even in 'traffic') within fifteen minutes of each other. There are no problems as far as distance goes. (Although, really: Love h...

I will answer these questions or give a reason I cannot answer some or all of them. After I have answered you may then point out any contradictions that you see. If your arguments for contradictions are valid you win. If your arguments are not valid or you find no contradictions, I win....

Censorship Should be Abolished
The censorship of works of art, movies, video games, books, and words on radio, television, and internet should be abolished, as it violated the first amendment's guaranteed right of freedom of speech. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech" Abolishing censorship would also mean abolishing indecency laws and age limits on movies, pornography, and video games. No one should be punished for s...
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
I've always been interested by this Lord Tennyson Alfred quote. I find it to be untrue. Heres why: 1. The Story behind It: These lines are a part of In Memoriam, which Tennyson wrote after the death of his beloved friend Arthur Hallam. Tennyson had met Hallam in 1829, when they were both students at Trinity College, Cambridge. Hallam's sudden death in 1833 threw Tennyson into a tormented and near-suicidal state. Clearly it is not true, merely by its context. His grief was almost too much to e...
