Please tell me you can come up with something better than that. A name is a matter of opinion.

Arizona is better than Peace Tea because they don't use artificial sweeteners in all of their drinks like Peace Tea does.

Not with much conviction as I have never had either product. I'll do my best though.

Yes the name is an opinion, but opinions are valid foundations for personal favoritism. In fact, the two are essentially one in the same thing. You didn’t say Arizona was specifically a better product or better made or anything like that, you simply said it was better in general. Preferring the other name is sufficient reason to refute that sentiment.

Lovely loophole there.

In that case, allow me to change the topic:

Arizona is a better product than Peace Tea

Meh, I guess we can drop it. But if someone does come around who wants to debate it, I would be happy to. ;)

The LEGO Movie is better than Frozen

Frozen is better than the LEGO Movie because it’s a musical.

The LEGO Movie is better than Frozen because it encourages creativity and individuality.

As does Frozen, from what I understand. (Full disclosure: I have not seen the movie.) I am under the impression that it encourages having a strong self image and appreciating your individual abilities. If this is accurate, then the message of both movies is strikingly similar, making the only major distinction the absence of songs in the LEGO Movie, as I said.

But Frozen doesn't have awesome moments that make you think back to your 7-year-old life \:D/

I did while watching Frozen. There were scenes when I thought back to when I didn't have all the responsibilities that come with growing up and could go build a snowman without caring about other things that need to be done.

*cough* Actually, Frozen brought back many fond memories of playing with my sister with our dolls, or in the snow. I didn't start playing with legos until I was maybe around 14? It really depends on who you are.

Yeah, so someone dies for a few seconds :roll:

And Hans wasn't nearly as epic as a certain LEGO Movie plot twist. And I was kinda half-expecting Hans. ;)

LEGO Movie has an evil President and a split personality policeman.

Frozen has loose ends. There were elements of the story that I wish had been addressed and explained....

Alright, I have to go. Thanks to everyone who participated, I hope you had as much fun as I did. :)

This concludes the official event, however you may continue debating various subjects amongst yourselves into the night if you wish.
