Reverse Euthanasia
We have been invaded.
Yes, among us, in our very homes, live a breed of sociopathic monsters. These diminutive, misshapen imps have infiltrated our homes, wetting our beds, and eating our food. They insinuate themselves into our lives with callous demands for food and attention, foisting themselves on o...

The Earth is hollow.
This is in response to this thread: http://www.debate.org/forums/science/topic/21157/ A brief explanation of the subject can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Earth Hollow in this case does not refer to the fact that there are caves and mines in the outer part of the crust, but to an alleged vast central space inside making up a significant fraction of the Earth's total volume.

People cannot have knowledge of the supernatural
Hello, this would be my first debate so I'm still a little fuzzy on the formalities. I apologize in advance for any mistakes. I'm using the definition of knowledge in the philosophical sense.

I aim to show that those who believe it is possible to have knowledge of the supernatural (miracles, spirits/demons, afterlif...
Resolved: US legislation banning flag burning is unjust.
A Rolling Stone gathers no moss
I am currently undergoing a series of scholarly debates over the authenticity and reliability of certain well-known proverbs. I have recently debated "Ignorance is Bliss," http://www.debate.org/debates/Ignorance-is-Bliss/3/ and proved that it is not; and I just finished debating whether a bird in...
War should be mandatory
Inevitability of War War, in all its glory, seems to be a constant feature in the human landscape. From the first pile of poo thrown on a hirsute competitor by a presumably worked up proto-ape to the sophisticated nuclear powered explosive devices dropped on competitors by the advanced and enlightened homo-sapiens, the only thing that has changed is the manner and scale of killing. I trotted over to Wikipedia to check on the wars fought over the last century, and was suffi...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Group A: Lickdafoot vs. Chrysippus
I affirm the resolution: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
First round is for acceptance only. Details of the tournament can be found here: http://www.debate.org/forums/debate.org/topic/15899/
I greet my worthy opponent, and thank her for this debate. This will be the first time I've debated Lickdafoot, so I am looking f...
Ignorance is Bliss
I do put effort into these debates, after all, and it would be most disappointing if after my work nobody thought this debate worth their time.
