I have to say, No Game no Life is like a better version of SAO in every way, First off It has much better animation and music. If anybody would like to challenge me over this topic you can reply. The reason I picked these two anime is because of their relation to video games.
Bullfighting is a form of art which ought to perdure
It is a pity for my opponent's own sake that he forfeited the last round. He has as of yet neglected to answer any of the points I set forth in defense of the ethical licitude of bullfighting and, as in the last round he cannot set forward new information, I find his position unenviable. I extend my arguments and provide for your entertainment an extract of Bizet's opera Carmen:
Children Should Be Allowed to Learn a Martial Art
Accepted.
Mandatory art/music education in high-school is good!!
I thank my opponent for continuing on this debate. Good luck to both of us! (C1) My opponent argues that it is best that students pursue subjects which they are interested in. The opposition must then answer the problematic question: "Do students, whose brains have not even fully developed yet, know what is best for their education?" A scrutiny of an average teenager's attributes would lead one to respond with a firm shake of the head. Why? Leaving teenagers - who are undoubtedly in a state of growth marked by a headstrong, brash personality - to decide what is best for them in their path to adulthood is a foolhardy thing to do. They are emotionally and physically stressed - it is manifest that they are unsuited to make decisions of such significance. (C2) Now, music is confirmed to facilitate brain growth (augmentation in concentration, intelligence, self-control, etc.), an essential factor for these high-school students. In fact, it has been proven that music is a key factor that can raise grades, test scores, SAT scores, etc. It is also very universal and encompasses multifarious genres to satisfy the mercurial interests of students - jazz, classical, rock, music theory, etc. It is also a great way for students to release their endorphins while extirpating stress they have gained, whether from homework or social life. There are, as of now, hundreds of psychiatrists who promote "music therapy" - a form of healing using music. These are two contentions which I shall lay out in this round. I eagerly wait my adversary's response. Sources: http://www.childrensmusicworkshop.com... http://en.wikipedia.org... http://stress.about.com...
Separate the art from the character or personification of the artist
Will do. I'l restart the debate.
Separate the art from the character or personification of the artist
"1) Is Pro arguing for the principle that a person's artwork should be separate from their character, Or for the practical implementation of such a principle in society? " Both, This would be 1 in the same. "2) Are we arguing for artwork as in visual arts only, Or in mass mediums such as television, Literature, Drama, Etc. ? " All of the above. Any work typically deemed positive that is judged by the merit of the worker's character. Please request for these clarifications in the comments or messages to avoid the depletion of debate rounds.
Separate the art from the character or personification of the artist
"It would have been great if they could've included their arguments in their Round 2, But in keeping with the format, I will let them give their case first. " The case was presented in the first round. You could of argued from then on. Tell you what, I can restart a new session, we try this all over again. . This way we'll have more completed rounds
has computer typing taken away the art of writing
My previous post is my argument - take it or leave it. If you wish to make it more verbose, be my guest - but I refuse to do your homework for you.
Debate #26: Schools should replace art and music with calculus
Weather Models Weather is more accurately predicted than ever before. Part of the improvement is thanks to technology, such as computer modeling that uses calculus and is able to more meticulously predict upcoming weather. These computer programs also use types of algorithms to help assign possible weather outcomes in a region. Much like in the computer algorithms, weather forecasts are determined by considering many variables, such as wind speed, moisture level and temperature. Though computers do the heavy lifting of sifting through massive amounts of data, the basics of meteorology are grounded in differential equations, helping meteorologists determine how changes in the temperatures and pressures in the atmosphere may indicate changes in the weather. Improving Public Health The field of epidemiology -- the study of the spread of infectious disease -- relies heavily on calculus. Such calculations have to take three main factors into account: those people who are susceptible to a disease, those who are infected with the disease and those who have already recovered from it. With these three variables, calculus can be used to determine how far and fast a disease is spreading, where it may have originated from and how to best treat it. Calculus is especially important in cases such as this because rates of infection and recovery change over time, so the equations must be dynamic enough to respond to the new models evolving every day. Architecture Calculus is used to improve the architecture not only of buildings but also of important infrastructures such as bridges. Bridges are complex constructions because they have to be able to support varying amounts of weight across large spaces. When designing a bridge, one must take into account factors including weight, environmental factors and distance. Because of this, maths such as differential calculus and integral calculus are often used to create the most robust design. The use of calculus is also creating a change in the way other architecture projects are designed, pushing the frontier of what sorts of shapes can be used to create the most beautiful buildings. For example, though many buildings have arches with perfect symmetry, calculus can be used to create archways that are not symmetric along with other odd shapes that are still able to be structurally sound
Rap should not be considered art or music, and the "rappers" should not be considered artists!
I thank my opponent Danielle for this amazing argument. This topic is one of many that I have been questioning and using on this site to find out what other people think. I guess my musical taste being a lot different from most teens ad such these days has altered my view of rap music. But as I said I use this site to find out other peoples views. I have seen Danielle's view and I appreciate what it is you have said. I may even try listening to some rap music, at least give it a try. "Never judge a book by it's cover"
Video Games are Art on Par with Motion Pictures.
I'd like to thank USM for proposing this interesting topic. Unfortunately, however, because there were only 60 minutes per round in this debate, USM was unable to finish his argument in time. I will extend my arguments.
the art and music classes should be compulsory in schools
It's not true that Maths,Physics,Chemistry are difficult to learn as the same for music! The moment you think it's difficult it becomes certainly difficult for you. On the other hand, addiction to music may make one completely isolated from the society. Dedication to a single subject may result in phenomenal success in many cases but struggling with many may result in nothing. To become a polymath with arts and music after heavy stress in other subjects may prove disastrous for many. Much of the music produced by the leading pop-stars are not fit for children of age below 14 years. As for arts, it is impossible to learn many different languages like-French,German,Spanish,Russian or Chinese and so on and as well World History for every child and memorise them. As for "Knowledge about BEAUTY" from music or arts I know not if that's possible!BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER. Again, as a profession music may be intimately connected to drug addiction which is strongly repulsive. For the above reasons, arts and music may be optional to those strongly interested but not compulsory for all school student.
Resolved: Budget Cuts to Art classes are justified

Resolved: Budget Cuts to Art classes are justified
My opponent has forfeited this round and has after that conceded the debate altogether. That means this debate is over. My opponent is hopefully well. But what remains is that he provided only one rushed round with more of a rebuttal than an original argument, and after this forfeit now quit. I thank my coach whiteflame, our organizer and host bluesteel and all the judges who have volunteered. As with all the debates of the *Official* Beginner's Tournament, only votes by these pre-selected judges will count for the tournament. All other users are welcome to vote in the comments, but please abstain from voting. See you all in the finals!
No Game no Life is better than Sword Art Online
Unfortunately my opponent has forfeited Round 3 of his debate and thus my rebuttal remains unchallenged. I extend all of my previous arguments.
Bullfighting is a form of art which ought to perdure
I accept. I am going to argue that we, by all understandings of the word 'ought', ought not to do harm unto others for personal pleasure. I ask that your opening argument considers well the justifications you have for exploitation and cruelty. For this is pretty much the only grounds I have for disagreeing with you. And to me, it is the only relevant angle from which I can debate this issue. Hope to have a good debate with you.
Music and art should not be cut from education
Well?
Music and art should not be cut from education
Good debate...
Team Fortress 2 hats are destoying the art style
alright
Team Fortress 2 hats are destoying the art style
So, my opponent forfeits the second round. So, I will have no argument as all of my arguments from the previous round are still valid.
