i dont wanna long debate like you people do on here just keep it simple ok?????!? the limit is going to be only 2000 characters cause of that cause people go overboard, 2 rounds that it!!! i am against homos because in the bible it says clearly they are not to be permitted. god is all knowing, he cant be wrong about this -- from the first source homos/gays are also disproportionately pedophiles. they are so small in our population and yet they are still close to 20-30% of registered pedos -- from the second source gays effect the family unit,, how will we reproduce if they take over. if their agenda succeeds, america will die. period. first source http://christianity.about.com... second source http://www.frc.org... good luck opponent I'm glad I was able to debate this topic, as I bet if I'd been a minute later someone else would have debated it. Thanks to con for instigating. Rebuttals 1. Legitimacy of the bible The bible can not be used as a legitimate or sole source when judging upon rather an entire group of people deserve respect socially. Due to character limits, I will be brief: - The bible is from thousands of years ago. It is not verifiable and is very open to interpretation. Some argue that it is metaphorical. - The bible is only viable or even relevant to one group; christians. So, when judging for a group on the behalf of all of society, christians. What does christianity have to do explicitly with homosexuality? Why not source Odin? Or the Quran? Or the Gospel of the FSM? One holy book is not explicitly legitimate. 2. Pedophilia My source [1] refutes this point in full, but again, character limit. It even debunks your source amongst many other sources that claim that homosexuality is associated with pedophilia. Your source supporting your claim is from the family research council, an extremely biased and anti-gay organization. - LOADS of research has been conducted on this issue. The origin of association between pedophilia and homosexuality can be attributed to propaganda produced in the 70's/late 20th century, an example being what is displayed in the youtube video above 3. Family Unit - Gays will never stop being born, People will not stop being straight, because sexuality is not a choice. Allowing two gay people to wed will in no way affluence future generations, or make all of America gay. Gays will keep being born, so why force homosexuals to live unhappy lives? This also assumes that all homosexuals seek to form a family. More arguments to come, hopefully. References [1] - http://psychology.ucdavis.edu...; [2] - http://www.youtube.com... [3] - http://www.apa.org...;(last sentence especially) |

my opponent just criticized me for citing what he thinks is a bias source but he linked to a source which is obviously also bias, it has an lgbt banner at the top of the webpage this guy im debating wants to trick you through lying. good for him for being so convincing, but hes arguing for the wrong side, that video you posted is in favour of my side of the debate, warning about pedophilia in homosexuals. thanx for the informational warning,not sure what thats about so pro didnt give response to my pedophilia bit also, the APA is an organization extremely influenced by liberal media pressure. the family research council holds its ground from the beginning. APA is all over the place. when america is majority conservative, theyll switch to being anti gay to appease people. sexuality is NOT a choice you think babies have sexual thoughts? I know 100% its a choice because i chose to be straight also there is supposed to be not round 3 but i guess we will do it. only ending parts in round 3, nothing new like round 2 and 1 or else you lose so, summary: my opponent linked to an lgbt source, the apa which can't be trusted due to all constnat pressure from the liberal media and the gay agenda, and given a confusing youtube video as a refute for my pedophilia argument that actually is my favor because it shows gays are dangerous. Very, very brief Arguments 1. Homosexuality is not a bad thing. It is equivalent to a skin colour or a physical apperance. It's something that people cannot control, despite what con claims about himself. People should not be judged on their sexuality, but upon if they are a gay black jewish clansman. joke <3 ![]() 2. From a non-emotional or moral standpoint, homosexuality could be a factor in decreasing the ever increasing birth rate and the inflated population. Rebuttals to.. whatever con is trying to say 1. LGBT flag in my source There is an extreme difference in bias between displaying an LGBT flag and having a reputation as being one of the most anti-gay organizations in America. My source does not manipulate evidence in it's favour and uses logic in it's reasoning. Since my support is summarizing studies that affirm that homosexuality is not able to be correlated with choice of orientation or pedophilia, it has the right to wave that flag in affirmation of it's findings. Here is my source again, btw, because it seems the link is broken to me, don't know how con got it: (http://psychology.ucdavis.edu...) 2. The video - Oh, goodness. ![]() The purpose of the video was to illustrate the origins of the myth that homosexuality and pedophilia are correlated. It's a propaganda video meant for small-minded people. The fact that you interpreted it as "evidence against LGBT people" speaks words. 3. Reliability of the APA - Con has made some big claims about the legitimacy of the APA, pretty much suggesting that it is corrupt, fake, and totally unreliable. Unfortunately for him, he's failed sto supply any proof of this. 4. Babies want hot, delicious sex - It's a known fact that all babies love sex. Don't know what con is getting at here. No, but seriously, the experiences and possible illusions of one person (TrueChristian) speaks nothing to the status of an entire sexual orientation. Try comments for source if not working. Maybe its just me. |

well my opponent for some reason decided to join a gay kkk. this does not help his argument, he is proving he is the true phobic one here also, who are you to say a video is propaganda, you didnt make it, you have to source that or prove also, do YOU KNOW MY BRAIN? you are CLAIMING that you know my CHOICES better than i do. i was born void of sexual preference, im not some sort of freak baby fetish pedophile. my preferences matured as god intended, I did not commit this sin, although I have sinned we have all sined, I did not deviate from my path and i am straight, i chose it. i chose to be straight and accept jesus. let jesus have mercy on your soul. accept him into your heart and you will be permitted to the gates of heaven romans 10:9, john 3:16 i should win this debate because the pro here is affiliating with the kkk and being irelevant to the debate, he also is tricking the voters on purpose with misleading videos. if you are a godo christian, vote for con in thsi debate please. all christian voters, remember your savior I admit it, I am affiliated with the gay-kay-kay (gkk). I am also satan. I am part of a huge conspiracy into tricking christian voters into abandoning their saviour and voting for me, I am satan, head of the gay kay kay, evil manipulator of youtube videos. But seriously,voters, please vote me for one of the following reasons: 1. Con has literally offered no valid reasoning for his position, only rapid allegations of misconduct and baseless statements 2. Con is making pleas with voters and trying to get them to vote for him out of sympathy. He is attempting to manipulate his religious affiliation to gain voting position. 3. Con needs to learn DDO is not a place to rant senseless/effortless opinions like this. He has misunderstood my argument in it's entirety, perhaps out of willfull ignorance, and all of my random jokes. This debate was over in seriousness after my first round. Everything in this debate past round 1 is nonsense, and pretty irrelevant, because con has chosen to make it that way. |

Reasons for voting decision: Con claimed that the Bible was a legitimate source for condeming homsexuality but failed to show the Bible has legitimate views on homosexuality when pressed by Pro. Con also asserted that homosexuals are pedophiles and disruptive to families but also failed to support either of these positions.

Reasons for voting decision: Pro had way better argument. Con didn't understood Pro's argument, not even the jokes. Unreliable sources of Con and bad grammar, so points for Pro.

Reasons for voting decision: Con had terrible grammar so that point goes to Pro. Pro's arguments were also more superior and since he provided more sources those points also go to Pro.

Reasons for voting decision: Con present no worthwhile arguments. The strongest he could have presented was a biblical argument, but as con provided no reason to accept the Bible as a source of moral authority (and it was not an assumption of the debate), this is an unsupported and spurious argument. Pro's sources were also more credible, and Pro spoke better (seriously con, spelling, grammar, shortening words, not hard to type properly). Easy win for pro.
