It's how you treat your opponent. If you're rude, that's bad. Thanking them for the time and effort is a good way to win conduct if the other person isn't rude, but isn't actively being a good participant either. I probably should have given you the point, but I think your overall score accurately describes how I thought you did. I could have gone into more depth about conduct in my vote, but It was getting long already.I wouldn't personally put as much effort into conduct as making sure you've researched well. Your argument is first and foremost important as it's worth the most points.

Nah, I agree with you on the grounds of human pollution.

Global warming (and climate change) are loaded words in today's politics. There are natural processes that cause trends of heat and cold over time. These natural processes can't really be averted by any human means I know of. If you're speaking of global warming as caused by human pollution, and you establish it pollution as bad (which it is), then it should obviously be averted. It's an open and shut case. Either global warming is a natural process, we can't avert it, and we had better try to adapt, or global warming is caused by human pollution, as should be averted.
So the real question being asked here is whether humans are causing global warming.

Our perception of time only goes in one direction. Time is actually absolute though, so anything that "will be" determined is necessarily already determined. Furthermore, even if time didn't work that way, a computer with an unfathomably vast CPU could plot the entire universe from start to finish with 100% accuracy based only on exact measurements of the first instant of the Big Bang. There is nothing to be determined that isn't already.

"He had limited himself in the description by saying we could only use information from the main series movies"
"You may not use information from Star Wars The Clone Wars series, Star Wars Rebels, or any TV specials. Just the main OT, PT, DT, Rogue One, and Solo."
WRONG!

Could you be more specific than "best"? because that term is overly vague and doesn't allow anyone to know what you're talking about.
Are you arguing that elephants taste best, after humans?
That they are the best at intelligent thought?
That they adapt to cold temperatures best?

Please clarify.

What lie? Native Hispanics aren't deported. Only those who illegally immigrated are deported. Those whose grandparents or ancestors did so aren't.

@mairj23

The difference between deporting "Arabs" from North Africa and deporting Hispanics from the U.S. is that Hispanics are immigrating NOW. The Arab conquest of Egypt, Morocco, etc., took place long ago, and the "Arab" inhabitants are now just as much African as the Hispanics in South and Central America are native to their own countries.

The fact that the Bible refers to the Earth as both a circle and a four-cornered shape indicates that one or both are non-literal descriptions.

Ruin: 1. cause great and usually irreparable damage or harm to; have a disastrous effect on.
2. fall headlong or with a crash, as in a collapse (usually of a building).

In this sense, they basically threw a couple too many cracks into the stained glass window. Midichlorians from the PT can be ignored because they're only important to the plot in that it allowed a convenient measure of Anakin's force ability.
The cracks from the DT are plot important and can't be ignored.

Considering that many Native Americans and tribal Africans stole land from each other on a regular basis and only won any land in the first place through bloody conquest and political marriages and trades, it is ridiculous to claim that the invading whites have any less right than the more local invaders.

So melanin is more important than what country? DNA tests can distinguish Welsh from English, Austrian from German.
"The only difference between the Australian, British, Irish, German, Russian etc., are Accents." <-- BS

I found nothing on the Internet about smallpox being spread to Africans through blankets.
I did find an article that says only one group, a band of Swiss mercenaries, ever did this to Native Americans. No missionaries or settlers were involved.

"The only difference between the Australian, British, Irish, German, Russian etc., are Accents."
HAH! Slavic, Nordic, Gaelic, Latin, and Aborigine don't mean anything to you, do you?

"If Africa isn't diverse, then why are there so many different skin complexions, different eye color, different hair texture and different body types? I'm going to take a wild guess. I bet you think Europeans are diverse. I fail to see any diversity in Europeans because you all have pale skin."

Last I checked, in native Africans there are only two natural eye colors, brown and black, as opposed to Europe's blue, green, brown, and hazel.
Italians have a olive skin tone, Irish have freckles, Norwegians have their shade of white. Not exactly identical Caucasian groups.

Missionaries have never intentionally spread disease, but when two isolated cultures meet, at least one will get sick from it. The native Americans had a similar experience with Europeans.
I don't have anything against immigration, despite your assumptions. And my stance on this topic, that non-Africans should be able to stay in Africa, is also an open stance.
Hunting isn't illegal, and such camps are either run with government sanction or directly by the government. Shooting a cheetah to save your cattle IS illegal.

"Now compare your question to American's situation with Hispanic immigrants. It's a sob story when whites have to go, but it's justice when other races have to go. I'm going to pre-empt your strike by saying "all immigrants aren't illegal," but many legal immigrants have been deported from the US."
You assume to know my stance on Mexican immigration. Don't assume.

"Do foreigners not go to Africa just to kill the wildlife that were bred at breeding camps?"
Yes, but said breeding camps are specifically for hunting. The tourists legally pay to shoot a gazelle or whatever. Poachers do it illegally and even normal farmers will shoot predators and prey alike to protect their cattle and eliminate competition.

"Take a look at the missionaries' track record in Africa. From purposely spreading diseases to raping young children."
Prove that missionaries have purposely spread disease in this generation. Continue to assert "truths" without proof or evidence, and I will continue to ignore them.

1.What qualifies as an invader? If a white child was born in South Africa to a couple of missionaries or medical students or something who had become citizens, then he is LEGALLY just as much an African as the boy next door whose parents and grandparents and great, great, great grandparents had all been born in Africa. The caucasian boy would miss his home, Africa, just as much as his neighbor. Is that boy an invader? Are his parents? Would HIS children?

2. " From hunting the natural wildlife to the spreading of diseases, Africa has no choice but to rid all of these leeches"
A. The majority of poachers in Africa are native Africans and Arabs, as far as I know. Prove me wrong and this point will be valid.
B. Europeans aren't giving Africans diseases that they have no immunity to anymore.
