Dragonball Z/GT is Overrated
Greetings everyone. I recently joined this website and tried to make this argument, but decided to take it down. Now that I have learned a little more about how debates work on this website, I would like to challenge the community to prove to me that Dragonball Z and GT is not as overrated as I believe. I am open to changing the way I think about it, if you think you have the chops for it :) Here are the rules: -First Round Acceptance -No New Arguments in the Last Round -Anything from Dragon...
British Teachers Often Don't Afford Students The Credit Of Intelligence
I am a 13 year-old with a rather uncommon disorder named Aspergers Syndrome, this means that I am able to challenge the modern psyche of children are inferior to adults, which some people take for granted and have never thought to challenge. Essentially, even when it isn't a smart thing to do, my brain makes me say things to teachers which I regret later. I first truly realised the extent of teachers disrespect for their pupils on the 21st of may at 2 o'clock. I had recived a detention based on...

Trotskyism VS Capitalism
That a Trotskyist Society would show to be an overall better form of Government than a Capitalistic Society. As you are the proposition the burden of proof is primarily on you. This is because you are suggesting one is better than the other. If I can either prove both to be of equal, or Communist lesser, value then I can win....
Abortion is not murder, and cannot be regarded as murder
Abortion cannot be regarded as murder, because firstly you cannot regard as a fetus as a human being, it is just that a fetus. The fetus can only be regarding as a human being and worthy of protection of the right to life when it takes its first breathe a separated from its mother (when the umbilical cord is cut off) and is essentially living on its own without any external aide. Furthermore to consider abortion murder would be robbing the mother of her right to bodily integrity and to choose wh...

Wrestling being eliminated from the 2020 Olympic Games
First of all wrestling is one of the oldest Olympic sports and that alone should be a good enough reason to keep it. When wrestling was chosen to be one of the sports that may not be on the 2020 Olympic program the wrestling community came together to make sure our dreams stayed alive. Just recently we had the Rumble on the Rails which is a tri-meet between the United State, Iran, and Russia. It took place in Grand Central Station and had very many spectators. It was also broadcasted on televisi...
Mac is better then PC
Mac is way better then PC for tons of reasons and I have few of them First mac is way faster then PC so you dont need to delete anything to make it faster Second it is faster to play games on it and even if there are games that you can "only" play on windows there is stuff to play it on mac Third windows sucks A Macintosh apple is not better than Protective Custody. In Protective Custody, your food will probably not get taken. You could take the Macintosh apple, but then it could get robbed...
Should the U.S. Government be able to sell weapons to other countries?
I believe that we need to allow the gov. to sell weapons because if we dont sell them then other countries will just buy from someone else. Plus it helps our economy to gain that kind of money. The United States shouldn't be concerned with the affairs of other nations, we have a lot of work to do here at home. Even if it helps the economy temporarily, the idea of globalizing your military wont be good in the long run, especially with public opinion. Same thing with Vietnam, the American people c...
Selena Gomez is and ugly bitch, right?
Yes, Selena Gomez is and ugly bitch! I used to find her sexy and she used to be the woman of my dreams, until I saw Debby Ryan! This is a fallacious argument from my opponent. There are hotter girls than Selena Gomez, but Selena Gomez is still sexy as hell. If girl "x" is hotter than girl "y" that does not make girl "y" ugly all of a suddon. Thus, the resolution has been negated if this is all my oppponent has to offer. Selena Gomez is self-evidently not ugly, even if there are other girls that...
Should children be taught a code of morales anymore?
Since are advancement into technology and the gaining efficiency of techy stuff, I seem to have noticed a change in the elementary and middle school kids. They seem to not care about anyone or anything, but at the same time, they seem to be having a good time, reveling in the kind of stuff that middle schoolers and elementary schoolers do today. So the question really is, should kids be left alone, or do we have to teach them stuff now more than ever? For disclosure, Im on the "Teach the kids mo...
Agnosticism is the Correct Religious Stance
I would argue that since we cannot logically prove or disprove the existence of God, we cannot say for certain that God exists or God does not exist. Thus both atheism and theism are false. I do however believe that one day we will be able to prove or disprove the existence of God. My opponent is welcome to take a theist position, an atheist position, or draw on arguments from both sides. Arguments from differing cultures which dictate the existence of multiple Gods are also welcome.Rules:My opp...
Laws against Domestic Violence
Domestic Violence Should be abolished. It is simply a due violation on the right to life of the victim. Especially women is targeted on the grounds of dowry , inequality , disparity and lots more. Domestic violence is caused due to the power asserted by the men on the women in our society. There is an utmost need to change the mindsets of the people in our society and furthermore help out the hapless victims. It may be happening even in your society and you must be unknown of this fact. It is an...
Homeschooling is better than Public or Private School
Now, I must say something up front, I will not be on this site from Monday till' Friday. So as odd as it sounds, a round will be forfeited by both sides to let me get back from being a State Page where I will not have regular internet access.So, here are the basic rules:Stay CivilUse Spell-Check (please)Use sources/logic/experience to back up your claims and/or contentionsWikipedia is not, I repeat, not a source.Experience should be a secondary, if not last, resort as support for a claim/content...
