67dd9e78478e	C5B52323339E	aliens are made up creatures they are just tools to make science non fictional movies come to life	Claim	Ineffective
cd976c033f2d	C5B52323339E	I just strongly think that aliens are made up they can't be real there is no proof to back up what everyone believes . Space doesn't have any gravity so their can't be any animals up there floating ! The mask kinda looks like clay maybe the mask is made out of clay that you can mold it into anything you want ! I know that sounds crazy but someone thinking that a alien created makes it sound even more crazier ! Lets be VERY serious The article says "Face on Mars has been popular in magazines and talk shows" People will believe anything these days even i know that half of the things that the media says or does is not true and i also know that they make things up for attention or too be well known	Evidence	Ineffective
032e455b637a	C5B52323339E	I don't have any evidence or proof that Aliens are real	Claim	Ineffective
abcda4f49553	C5B52323339E	There is NO proof so i can't process it i know somebody named De'Oshmonya that knows a lot about mars and space so i may have to ask her what she thinks about it im sure she will tell me everything i need to know ! It may cause a little argument tho , but thats okay we're still going to be close . This passage helped me because it taught me some things i didn't know and it prepares me for the future it does make me wonder Are aliens real ? When i go to sleep tonight i may do some research and i'll try to find some proof . I should've done research so i could have a lot of evidence to back my statement up that would've been the best thing to do .	Evidence	Ineffective
e8906df5ffbb	C5B52323339E	Even tho i said i don't believe in aliens it does make me question alot of things . This article was written way before i was born things have changed and everything should be different now. Maybe if aliens were real they were probably alive in the ancient times and probably left when the dino's left	Concluding Statement	Ineffective

b222b379e6cb	C619833B1D5D	It's just a rock, a plain, thousands of years old, heap of rock. The End, no "Ifs, ands, or buts", there is evidence saying that this is just a mesa, a landform, we have picture proof of it.	Position	Effective
27cdf3bac6dd	C619833B1D5D	So, I will cover two major points to prove to you that it's a landform, common sense,	Claim	Adequate
0a0f20ce7101	C619833B1D5D	and the facts that we here at NASA have proven to be true.	Claim	Adequate
6f551e1c1c4b	C619833B1D5D	First off, this argument is over whether Face was created by aliens, or whether it is just a natural landform.	Counterclaim	Adequate
aba91d14fdeb	C619833B1D5D	This is a pretty strange argumental topic, as people who believe this stuff anyway will hardly be convinced by a random scientist at NASA.	Rebuttal	Adequate
47961e65d2ee	C619833B1D5D	Anyway, there is proof we have that face is just a natural landform,	Claim	Adequate
ed67155c5719	C619833B1D5D	we have taken multiple pictues of it, and have concluded that, as shown with this cite of evidence, "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the America West." We can even say that it was not obscured by any clouds or haze because it was clear day on Mars the day the picture was taken.	Evidence	Adequate
f592011d5db0	C619833B1D5D	That should be the end of the discussion, but yet you say, "But Mister science man, what if the pictures that you took couldn't see it because it was too small?"	Counterclaim	Adequate
dbbfce31938c	C619833B1D5D	Well, that point can actually be rebuted as well, because of what Jim Garvin, the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, said, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixer size," he added. "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!". Factually that should be the end of it, it was a clear picture, that was enhanced for farther detail, on a clear day, with a high resolution camera.	Rebuttal	Effective
bf6bd6f5976f	C619833B1D5D	Don't think I don't see you thinking, "But will a only a photo actually be able to properly discern whether this is natural."	Counterclaim	Adequate
751dda0cba4b	C619833B1D5D	Well......no, it won't. Actually, you have me entirely beat on the fact that it simply could be a landform, made by aliens. Yes, there I admit it, sit at home and laugh at the fact that I could be wrong. Look, Mister Whoever reads this for a job, I argue for a living with my friend, and there is simply not enough evidence to actually say that there is no way that this is not alien made. There is actually a chance, somewhere, somehow, a superficially small chance that aliens might have had someplay in this. I know that all sounds crazy, but seriously, think about it. All we have is some lously picture that, while it shows us the exteriror, it doesn't show us anything about the interior of the landform.	Evidence	Adequate
3102b13ace56	C619833B1D5D	Here is the other side to the point I just made, think about this rationally for a second, could aliens really have made a monument or some strange thing on Mars, only for it to be found by humans?	Rebuttal	Adequate
64c6e05472d6	C619833B1D5D	Probably not, and all of this is so improbable that I really don't even need to write an argumentative essay about it anyway. There is an extremely small and slim chance that aliens had any part in making a mesa on Mars.	Evidence	Ineffective
1b89fff37386	C619833B1D5D	So all in all, there is factual proof we have, cited from the text I was given to say that aliens had no part in the making of Face, and that it is a natural landform. However, it isn't concrete proof, so for all we now it could be an alien itself. I have no idea, and neither will you. Again though, rationally, it has no relation to aliens. So that's all I got, the end.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

They dont want the one we now have. If you vote for a president youd vote for a slate of democratic electors pledged to the president you want to vote for.

Because of the winner-take-all system in each state. canidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing on only the tight race in the "swing" states."

18dbc950399d	C65C1B3AA577	All in all Senator the electoral college must be abolish. Not only does it create many disasters, but it is very unfair to us citizens. The electoral college is very old and we should give a break. We could start with something fresh like the popular vote and see how it turns out. As you can see there is many evidence on how the electoral college is bad and that you should give the popular vote a chance.	Concluding Statement	Adequate
12100b4213de	C6B21B6E5767	Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. Let us going back in time to see how did get here. During revolutionary war in United State of American. Some british had education, but there was not school at the time. Being able to give education for students it was home. And this was for colonies teaching them in group how they can introduce by themeselves and understand command they are given.

I just strongly think that aliens are made up they can't be real there is no proof to back up what everyone believes . Space doesn't have any gravity so their can't be any animals up there floating ! The mask kinda looks like clay maybe the mask is made out of clay that you can mold it into anything you want ! I know that sounds crazy but someone thinking that a alien created makes it sound even more crazier ! Lets be VERY serious The article says "Face on Mars has been popular in magazines and talk shows" People will believe anything these days even i know that half of the things that the media says or does is not true and i also know that they make things up for attention or too be well known

This passage helped me because it taught me some things i didn't know and it prepares me for the future it does make me wonder Are aliens real ?

Well, that point can actually be rebuted as well, because of what Jim Garvin, the chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, said, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixer size," he added. "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!".

Look, Mister Whoever reads this for a job, I argue for a living with my friend, and there is simply not enough evidence to actually say that there is no way that this is not alien made. There is actually a chance, somewhere, somehow, a superficially small chance that aliens might have had someplay in this. I know that all sounds crazy, but seriously, think about it. All we have is some lously picture that, while it shows us the exteriror, it doesn't show us anything about the interior of the landform.

And this was for colonies teaching them in group how they can introduce by themeselves and understand command they are given. Late in 1800s to 1900s system changed by government of the time because it began to underatand how education was imporatant to the people. It began to build some classes, so people will not struggle for taking class at home or under the trees. The challenge was not is because the main points was money and people need to do this governement used one idea to increase tax for everything in able to finish the plan. That is how classes have been found. Time of technologies a rise was in middle of 1950s were people began to use new material like box computer and other stuff.
