There Could be a Situation Where the Only Rational Option/Choice is to Commit Suicide.

Inquisitive

The task of pro, here, is to propose up to and including whatever number of scenarios they can fit in 8,000 characters.

Each scenario will be presented as the explanation of a dire situation of one or more individuals whereby at least one person per scenario will be asserted by pro to find that the only rational thing to do would be to kill oneself (or that the other action or option to do nothing would be far less rational).

Killing oneself can either be by active pro...

This is for the first round of SocialPinko's Elo tournament.

Resolution: The use of Torture can be Morally Permissible

Voting

Voters, please do not vote on the source points. This is a philosophy debate meaning evidence and sources are not as needed for arguing. The whole debate could be done without any sources being used. Source points are very often abused and misused on this site. Taking these facts, I think it best the...

RyuuKyuzo

Resolution

The Father Should Not Have Say In an Abortion.

As PRO, I will be affirming this resolution by arguing that the decision should rest entirely on the mother.

The Democratic party exemplifies more of the Christian philosophy than the Republican party.

UltimateSkeptic

No forfeiting, automatic loss. No semantics This debate is to be centered on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth/Jesus Christ, the essence of Christianity. I will be upholding that the Democratic party, despite common stereotypes ("Religious right"), exemplifies the Christian teachings and philosophies better than the Republican party does. 1st round is just an acceptance round!...

The Theory of Evolution is False

Samyul

Welcome Challenger; As the opponent, you will argue against the fact that the theory of evolution is indeed false. You will prove me wrong when I state, "Evolution is a flawed theory, and is false." You will agree with the theory of evolution, and will stand by your belief. The only rule I ask of you is that you simply restrict the first round to greetings/acceptance. The rest of the debate rounds will be why Evolution is true or false. I thank you in advance for the acceptance of the debate...
