Note: the first poem was written (excepting some edits) before the contest started, and if that's against the rules, please disregard it. I do, however argue that it is a talent show, and past triumphs still showcase my poetry skills. It took me a couple hours to write the first one, so it isn't like I'm cramming weeks of work in for a three (or four, in my case) day challenge. That being said, enjoy, and I respect your judgment.
Night's Beauty
The gossamer threads of twilight fading
Torn away by darkness raiding
I grasp tight to nearly nothing
Day slips away, softly rebuffing.
Stars glitter to catch my gaze
Night has not yet ceased to faze.
Moon comes out to say hello
Sun's absence seems to bellow
I recover, wond'ring, from the shock
Of a new ebon beauty, a gentle knock.
Wholly transformed, the earth and sky
Shrouded, but newly lit, Night passes by.
Day's Glory
Drab light, hesitant gray
Comes to mark the nearing day
And though the predawn herald's dressed in dun,
Radiant and gold is his Master Sun.
Carve a path across the sky
Every cycle be born and die.
Watch once more the dawn awaken.
Yet again my breath is taken.
Honey rays make the sky blue
Cutout clouds in contrast too.
Brilliant death of many colors
A promise of return to all earth-dwellers.

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." -Colin Powell.
“That’s the spirit! Well, then let’s continue.” He brings up his own blade. “Give me everything you have, Clarisse!” His earnest voice spurs me, eager for victory. A thrust, a parry, slash, dodge, stab forward, deflection. I can feel my body giving up the fight, but I’m not ready yet. With a savage yell, I change my swing’s direction in midair, bringing it down on his hilt. Ven almost loses his grip, and his momentum is dead. I grin, finally where I had been striving for. I close the distance between us with two steps, wresting his sword away. My own is pushed up against his unguarded gut.
He looks down, almost curiously, at the point digging into his tunic. Then he grins and laughs. “Yes! I knew you could it.”
Once again, I fall. Rolling quickly to absorb the shock, I grit my teeth and heave myself back into a standing position. The sun and stinging sweat try to close my eyes, but I’m not tired. I’m angry.
“Get up, Clarisse.” The man standing before me offers my sword to me once more, hilt first. Despite my muscles’ protests, I reach forward and once again grasp that leather-wrapped hilt, built for my hand. “This time, Ven, I’ll get you for sure.”“That’s the spirit! Well, then let’s continue.” He brings up his own blade. “Give me everything you have, Clarisse!” His earnest voice spurs me, eager for victory. A thrust, a parry, slash, dodge, stab forward, deflection. I can feel my body giving up the fight, but I’m not ready yet. With a savage yell, I change my swing’s direction in midair, bringing it down on his hilt. Ven almost loses his grip, and his momentum is dead. I grin, finally where I had been striving for.

He looks down, almost curiously, at the point digging into his tunic. Then he grins and laughs. “Yes! I knew you could it.”
I drop the blade, a tired satisfaction coursing through my veins. Five years I'd worked towards this very moment, grueling exercise and countless hours. But in that instant, it is all worth it.
Ven looks out to the silent audience. "Today," he says, "the student has become the master."

backwardseden isn't the worst person on DDO by a long shot.
FanboyMcTroll, 12InchBeef, and Sickintheheadz all come to mind.
That being said, I don't want backwardseden as he/she currently acts here on DART.

With the development of technology as it stands today, do you believe that natural selection is having less and less of a physical change on humans? Theoretically, we're smarter than we used to be, but it's difficult to measure whether a modern person is significantly more intelligent than someone from Ancient Rome or something.

Point: Sparrow claims to be from the UK, but uses US spelling, such as generaliZation instead of generaliSation, or neighbor instead of neighboUr.

Snoopy is, more importantly, irrelevant to the topic of birds. I will concede that he is my favorite WWI flying ace, but that isn't conforming to the forum topic.

There was also this false rush to get things started with the quantum time travel. Can they not wait for Thor to get into shape, or Captain Marvel to get back? They're trying to fix the whole universe, so it's not like she's too busy with other planets to help all of the planets at the same time.
And Spiderman: Far from Home, will inexplicably reveal that not only Parker was snapped, but his best friend, MJ, and the bully kid also did so they could tour Europe together. It's statistically possible, but very convenient nonetheless.

I am very confused as to what parts of the past timeline are messed up. Loki escapes with the tesseract in 2012, even though the end of Avengers 1 shows him getting taken back to Asgard.
Nebula kills Past Nebula, but apparently this doesn't cause a problem.
Past Thanos + Thanos' army die. Is spacetime not self-consistent?

I've noticed that people with alt accounts are likely to accept their own debates, but then not commit and it's a mostly forfeited thing. Sparrow and Type1 have several debates against each other that all fit the above criterion.
The only problem is Type1 keeps getting banned, so I don't know how many are forfeit fests because of that. I would like to put that as mild evidence in support of the two being alts.
alanwang123 and JoshuaStebold had similar debates and are fairly conclusively alts.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
Animals, especially mammals, have a very similar neurological structure to humans. Humans respond to stimuli. Humans feel pain. Animals respond to stimuli. Animals feel pain. They behave very similarly to humans in the same situations and almost identically to babies. If I shoot a baby in the foot, it will cry. If I shoot a rabbit in the foot, it will make rabbit screaming noises. Based on observation it is reasonable to assume that animals feel pain, not quantifiably, since humans can only judge people's pain based on their own experiences and pain threshold, but in a similar way to your own perception of pain.
I am not vegan or anything. I don't believe that it's wrong to kill animals and eat them. But I do believe that minimizing pain is the right thing to do.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
The point is that chopping a chicken's head off or shooting a cow point blank in the head is less painful than getting shot from thirty or a hundred yards most of the time because the deer won't just die right there usually.
If vegans or Alec think that it's worse to kill chickens than the kind of pain these deer go through, they're wrong.
I'm not saying they don't run away and don't need to be tracked, not sure how you got that from what I said.
Answer: " Deer basically lay down and die"

@TheDredPriateRoberts
You're completely wrong! Quite often, a deer will only be hit in the lungs or something, and run away. They will die fairly quickly if you hit something vital, but people lose deer all the time, which means it gets away wounded or suffering, or it dies and is never found, which means it suffers for no reason.

@Alec
"deer die relatively painlessly when shot."
Only if you hit the right spot! Chickens die more painlessly on average, because they don't get away with a punctured lung or other wounds. Many people shoot their deer and it gets away, or lives for hours after in agony before death. You've obviously never been hunting.

This will be like the debates, except more than two people will have to agree. I want to see the ten most liked animes of DebateArt.com.
So. In order to keep this organized. Each person may suggest ONE anime until we have ten. THEN people can say which ones of the ten they disagree with, along with alternatives and why they disagree.
My one anime is My Hero Academia.

I was saying that female peafowl aren't treated better based on attractiveness. Males compete based on appearances, so the females get to be picky, but the males aren't so selective. There is no basis that I know of for competition between female peafowl to get a mate.

@mustardness
The male peafowl are colorful, so I don't think that's it.
I know because I own 2 girls and a boy.
