    Portraits art challenge.

    (http://www.debate.org...) This is my picture for the first round. It is a digital sketch of Adele (Reference photo used: Adele 21 album cover). I have chosen this for numerous reasons. I enjoy the reference photo because of the black and while which greatly emphasises the shadows and highlights of her face. I also enjoy the fact her face is rounder and slightly more masculine than others, meaning that it was a greater challenge for me to draw. (Please note, Con does not have to post his in black and white and does not have to use a reference photo if he does not wish to)

    A conclusion to the art of communication

    Are the people of the world ready for an apology from atheists and the sociopaths and psychopaths that rule with a big stick from the top of the tree of monkeys or the tower of Babel? I have been throwing pebbles at the glass house as not to smash my own. Is it too much to ask for a world without so much despair as to not find a better word? It's there in my mind but it is trapped somewhere down deep as to protect myself as yes this monotone abuse is within us all as some exercise this disposition and make it strong and others bury it way down deep as to be less so apathetic and create noble traits of empathy, sympathy and humility as to become well-balanced individuals as the seesaw of insanity and sanity. Peace be with you and thank you for the wisdom that you have shared as it's all just second-hand knowledge anyway. It's all been said before and no one owns it as to pass on the baton the gauntlet or even for the bride to toss the bouquet of flowers over the shoulder. The tongue is as a double-edged sword it cuts both ways. Practising; Empathy, Humility, Sympathy and Cooperation throughout life, create's an understanding of the surroundings that we are subjected to, doing this teaches us to talk to each other, so we can speak with each other and not at each other.

    A conclusion to the art of communication

    Is that the best you have as to shout the messenger with another ad hominem with; I would suggest that the notion of "monotone abuse" is being used here as nothing more than a personally derived criticism, aimed at something that for some reason doesn't sit easy within Pro's mind. Even what you have written is full of an inability to converse constructively within a structured text. with; 1/ easy could have been easily. 2/ personally, derived criticism is no more than a personal attack upon the messenger. 3/ aimed at something that for some reason doesn't sit easy within Pro's mind is also an attack upon the sanity of the messenger. How is it that you can do this are you also; Is something just missing or not; passion, frustration and anger. Where is apathetic? Hiding behind the anger and frustration for passion within expression, falls away real fast doesn't it? You have automatically become defensive within your own rational reasoning of your own cognitive drive that seems to have sidetracked you as to not even considered to answer any of the questions that I have put forward. All you have done is attacked my own character and exposed your own flawed logic. 1/ So if wisdom is to have the ability to have a structured conversation with the village idiot and accepting that tomorrow it's my turn to be the village idiot. Explaining complexities in the simplest manner is just like nuts and bolts. The hardest part is knowing how to put it all back together. What would you say to that? 2/ Would you trust a salesman selling snake oil that speaks with a forked tongue? 3/ Is something just missing or not; passion, frustration and anger. Where is apathetic? Hiding behind the anger and frustration for passion within expression, falls away real fast doesn't it? 4/ Let us try this again, shall we?

    A conclusion to the art of communication

    Emphasize is the best indicator if you are speaking with a genuinely wise intelligent well-balanced individual These so-called highly intelligent scientists lack this ability just listen to there own lack of ability to emphasize within expression there own speech pattern. When these sort of people express within the act of communication there own brain gets in there own way it's called monotone abuse it's like a note is in their ability to sing is just not there. Unlike the way that some salesperson speak it sounds like its just too good to be true. Like so much honey in my tummy makes me feel funny. Peace be with you.

    art is needed in todays society

    So since my opponent has forfeited his rounds, my extension of my arguments during previous rounds is well justified. Why to vote for con: The instigator presents no evidence for his claims and there is actually evidence against his assertions made in round one. On top of that, there is a fallacy at work with my opponent's opening round. Thus, you should vote for con. With that said, I thank you all for reading. Good night! :D

    Portraits art challenge.

    I think I misunderstand this debate. I interpreted it as a debate of which opponent could present the best, thought-provoking portrait out there, not personally created ones. Anyhow, since I never forfeit I'll continue. For me, this portrait depicts a subject of interest. "Who is she? Where is she from? My gawd, look at those eyes!" It has a sort of Assassin's Creed/80s Fantasy Movie appeal going on about it. Although it is a HD image, it has a resembling look of a matte surface grade. http://www.debate.org...
