Marriage is strictly religious and is between a man and a woman
Marriage comes from the church, and the church intended for it to be between a man and a woman. Why should the government be allowed to interfere with religion? People argue separation of church and state, but that's just it, the state is interfering with the church. Marriage should stay between a man and a woman, because that's how it was intended, it isn't fair to go and change original, religious views and beliefs. The technology that allows individuals to modify their pitch (autotune) was or...

Is Illuminati a real organization?
I think, Illuminati is real. They're in everywhere! The world is controlling by this organization. They want to control our brains with some subliminal messages. The nuclear power, money, international companies, banks, wars (for example: September 11).... I accept, I do not believe the illuminati exists.You can make up a conspiracy for almost everything, but, it's irrational to do so.But, I think there are a few things that need to be done before the debate. DefinitionsIlliuminati: A secret gro...
The Biblical God cannot be shown immoral
I propose a simple debate that I'm sure many critics of the Bible will find intriguing, that the God of the Bible cannot demonstrably be shown immoral, and His actions in both the Old and New Testaments can be justified. I contend that no definitely complicit actions exist by God as recorded in the Bible, and a contextual reading of the Bible as a whole reveals a depth of moral soundness to God's actions. I look forward to a professional and courteous debate on this subject. I accept, and wil...
Changing gas prices accordingly to citizen travel frequency
It is clearly obvious that there is a commonplace issue with gas prices. Undoubtedly, drivers are always unsettled to the price per-gallon of gas they have to pay when stopping to refuel. For this reason there is controversy over gas price regulation. However, gas prices should be regulated accordingly to citizen seasonal travels.Let us say that we have gas prices decreased during the most obvious vaccination seasons, like summer. During the summer, average Americans go on tours and vacate long...
Courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools
Assertion #1: I believe that courts should have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools. In Boston public schools were segregated by race, and the only way to desegregate them was by the court-odder in 1947 that made busses transfer the kids to other school. Blacks and whites were not happy with this decision, and if they were not forced to do it, they would have never done it willingly. There are a lot of benefits to having racially balanced schools; one is that everybody get...
courts have the responsibilty to create racially balanced schools.
1)Negative assertion: In 1974 court ordered busing wasn"t the only strategy that could have desegregated Boston"s public schools. Other options would be to give other options and more choices. Where you live is your choice so schools aren"t segregated by law. These options would cause less violence. 2)Negative assertion: Students and society will not benefit from more children attending racially integrated schools. The surveys may not be right. This may only work in a poor community. Some...
Courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools
Affirmative assertion: In 1974 court ordered busing was the only strategy that could have desegregated Boston's public schools. Neighborhoods were segregated by the race and children went to neighborhood schools. Even though Boston built new schools they were still segregated. Everything just got worst in Boston and even after the law said schools had to be. Affirmative assertion: To create a desegregated school system; a judge should be able to tell parents where their children must attend sc...
Courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools
Assertion#1: Courts should have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools. The reason why this is important because students and society will benefit when more children attend racially integrated schools. Because of integration the percentages of a student being bullied because of their skin color will lower.ir Also, the environment will be safer for the students and no group will have more power than another, everyone will be treated equally. Assertion#2:To create a desegreg...
School uniforms should be required
Clothing is one of the best ways for kids to express themselves, and with guidlines and rules, students are able to be themselves without being distracting. It's not fair limiting kid's closet because of uncomfortable uniforms, which could actually hurt one's education, because it may not be comfortable enough for the student to be able to pay attention. Uniforms are too strict. I hope our debate goes well, and thank you for bringing up this topic. I appreciate you sharing your personal opinion...
Courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools
Courts have no right to decide to whether what school students go to. A black student would not want to go to a white school knowing they'll get bullied. The whites will try to bully or scare the blacks kids. The blacks kids just want the same education that the whites have. There will riots because parents will disagree and not want their child to get hurt. Affirmative assertion #1 Boston school busing evidence 1: In Boston about 400 low income black students were bused to white community scho...
courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools
negative assertion #1 : court- ordered desegregation plans do more harm than good. Evidence: there was a lot of violence because of desegration. Evidence: protest were held against federal building Evidence: school buses are getting attacked by the whites negative assertion #2 : courts are powerless to combat prejudice Evidence: schools are being boycott Evidence: protest of inequality by the people Evidence: students are attacking the balck students with rocks on buses Negative ass...
School systems kill creativity.
As a continuation of a recent debate about the same topic, I would like to argue that schools do indeed slowly but steadily reduce the creativity of individuals. I do very well in school because I avoid the textbook teaching/learning methods and try to understand WHY the material is the way it is rather than rote memorization of formulas, facts, etc. If you accept this debate, please do your best to maintain an intellectual, logical environment without profanity and poor spelling and grammar. Th...
Pantheism/Panentheism Is Superior To Atheism
This debate is about which ideology/belief system is superior to the other psychologically, socially, culturally, etc. The debate is not in specific about the existence of God in any way, shape or form, but is about the superiority of the belief over the other. The burden of proof is on me, and it is the duty of Con to show me how my proof is incorrect or wrong.Superior in this sense means more beneficial/helpful to society, to mankind.The votes must come with a detailed summary as to why they f...
