Modified Capitalist Liberal Democracy is inevitable form of government for everyone.

Liberal democracy as defined as, "a form of representative democracy with free and fair form of elections procedure and competitive political process. The most interesting feature of liberal democracy is that all adult citizens is given the right to vote regardless of race, gender or property ownership." Has been shown over the last several decades of history due to the fall of Communism, deterioration of Islamic Authoritarianism, decline of trade barriers to be the inevitable form of government...

Affirmative Action programs in colleges and universities should be banned.

Affirmative Action - for the purposes of this debate, only race will be discussed, and not other factors, like religion or gender, will be argued. There would be a shared burden of proof. I, Pro, will argue the resolution. Con will argue that Affirmative Action programs should not be banned, and continue to be practiced in colleges and universities nationwide....

•	Abortion	ProComments I'm pro-choice, not pro-abortion. People - not fetuses - have rights. I believe a fetus becomes a (LEGAL) person once it is born.
•	Affirmative Action	N/OComments People get ahead due to their connections and networks all the time, yet ironically don't consider that an advantage. AA tries to give certain groups other advantages. There are pros and cons. I don't really care about it.
•	Animal Rights	UndComments I appreciate animals and I value their conscious experience, but considering I'm not a vegan or at least vegetarian, I'm not so sure how highly I place that value.
•	Barack Obama	ProComments Pro only in the sense that I prefer him to Bush and Romney, and his policies to Republican policies.
•	Border Fence	ConComments It is a very expensive endeavor that introduces new forms of corruption. It would also not protect against terrorism, and I am for amnesty so don't care much about hindering "illegal" immigrants.
•	Capitalism	ConComments Unregulated capitalism is a pyramid scheme. Regulated capitalism is corrupt. I support voluntary markets, but a more democratic workplace or labor-based economic system.
•	Civil Unions	ProComments All legal marriages should be civil unions.
•	Death Penalty	UndComments I think it would be most beneficial and perhaps a more moral endeavor to find other ways to punish criminals and protect society.
•	Drug Legalization	ProComments Criminalizing drugs is infringing on people's rights - not protecting them. Responsible drug use has a lot of known benefits, and the dangers are greatly exaggerated. The war on drugs has been completely unsuccessful and very detrimental!
•	Electoral College	ConComments It encourages a dangerous 2-party system. It discourages voter turn-out. There's a possibility of "faithless" electors. An unpopular minority president could be elected. It fails to reflect the national popular will. Most of all, its eradication coul
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments When we destroy something man-made, we call it vandalism. When we destroy something in nature, we call it progress. Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned will we realize that we can't eat money. Also, in addition to ma
•	Estate Tax	UndComments Theoretically I am against it. Under our current system, I might be for it. It seems that all of our accrued assets are taxed, so I guess this would be the same thing. It's problematic because presumably the passed on assets have already been taxed.
•	European Union	N/OComments I don't know anything about it. I should.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments Your own life is your own property. If you want to destroy it, then by all means, go ahead. Of course morality comes into play when one's mental health and stability is in question.
•	Federal Reserve	ConComments Inflation. Corruption. Rinse and repeat.
•	Flat Tax	ConComments Theoretically I support it, but both the economy and the government (costs) would work better under a progressive tax rate based on the way our current system works.
•	Free Trade	ProComments Why not?
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Marriage is a social/spiritual contract that should carry with it no legal bearing outside of power of attorney discrepancies. However so long as heterosexual marriage enjoys legal privileges, then discrimination against gays is a blatant civil right
•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments So-called global warming is just a secret ploy by wacko tree-huggers to make America energy independent, clean our air and water, improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles, kick-start 21st-century industries, and make our cities safer. In all serio
•	Globalization	ProComments I don't support a single-state world controlled by the Illuminati though :P
•	Gold Standard	UndComments Mostly Con.
•	Gun Rights	ProComments Owning a gun is a right. Hold people accountable for their own actions; don't restrict rights. Plus, owning a gun has been known to successfully deter crime, and I don't believe in government tyranny. Criminalizing guns would be astronomically unsucc
•	Homeschooling	ProComments I would love to home-school my kids, and think there are significant benefits.
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments What's the point?
•	Iran-Iraq War	ConComments Uh, fuck no. At the VERY least - not yet.
•	Labor Union	ProComments I'm completely pro-labor, except in cases where companies are being exploited by unions detrimentally such as what happened with some of the automotive companies. Otherwise I am all for workers rights. Though imperfect, the good outweighs the bad.
•	Legalized Prostitution	ProComments There's no good reason to criminalize it. Doing so would be harmful in addition to immoral.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	ProComments Only for the time being until we can figure out how to cut health care costs. The qualifications for these programs should be limited, obviously, and subject to change.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments There is absolutely no reason to be against medical marijuana. It is proven to be effective for medical use the same way other legal drugs (some of which are clearly more harmful) can be helpful. Additionally, see my thoughts on Drug Legalization.
•	Military Intervention	N/SComments It should obviously be decided on a case by case basis, but usually no.
•	Minimum Wage	ConComments It's good in theory but counter-productive.
•	National Health Care	N/OComments Whatever.
•	National Retail Sales Tax	UndComments Gotta look at the figures and effects more closely.
•	Occupy Movement	ProComments I agree with the majority's collective goals: campaign finance reform, banking regulation and accountability, etc. I also believe in the power of and the right to protest.
•	Progressive Tax	ProComments A progressive tax system doesn't deter people from wanting to make a profit, and I believe it's the most practical thing to do under our current system.
•	Racial Profiling	N/OComments This term is too non-specific. I'm okay with profiling for looking for known criminals, obviously, but in most cases racial profiling is really fail - especially when it comes to terrorism.
•	Redistribution	N/SComments This term is misleading. I'm mostly Pro, but this can be taken out of context.
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments Let private establishments choose whether or not they'd allow smoking. However, I'm opposed to smoking in public places.
•	Social Programs	UndComments In this society, I believe in some social programs but not all, and most need reform.
•	Social Security	UndComments I like the idea, but it's seemingly unsustainable. I'd suggest massive reform, but it's already failed epically. I guess I'm hoping there's some way we can sort of salvage the concept without going bankrupt...
•	Socialism	ConComments Same problems as capitalism.
•	Stimulus Spending	UndComments I don't know enough about what it exactly refers to or entails enough to have an opinion.
•	Term Limits	N/OComments Who cares. Politicians are all full of shit.
•	Torture	N/SComments In most cases it's useless and ineffective.
•	United Nations	ConComments Again. Politicians are all full of shit. These people don't know wtf they're doing, and it's all political anyway. It's also not helping much (globally) and certainly working against the U.S. in terms of funding.
•	War in Afghanistan	ConComments Al Qaeda wasn't in Afghanistan for a long time. It was just a clusterfuck and gigantic waste of time, money and innocent lives.
•	War on Terror	ConComments The U.S. should invest Intelligence into fighting and avoiding terrorism; however, I do not support the "War on Terror" that is meant to use fear tactics to manipulate Americans in supporting false pretenses for war and violates our civil liberties.
•	Welfare	N/SComments It'struemostabusethesystem.I'mforalegup,notahandout...butIamproreforminsofaraschangingitfromawelfaretoworkprogram,orusingasaminimumsocialsafetynet.
