Wealth is the means to Happiness.
Well.. Wealth and happiness.. Initially at first thought many of us may find both these words contradictory. But I do believe that wealth is the means to happiness. And long-lasting happiness at that too.. Anyone willing to debate against me is welcome.. This is my first debate.. Come on.....
advertising adds to the cost of product
hi,i believe that advertising does add to the cost of the product.the only way all the advertising cost can be recovered is by pricing the commodity higher than what it is supposed to be...
the olympic games are no longer the friendship games
the olympic games were NEVER the friendship games! people usually only go there to try to become the best or keep thier positition as the best. in the history of the olympics no one has ever said" oh it's O.K you can have my gold medal i don't want it". people only compete to be the best. now in Beijing people are competing and are not going thier worst but thier best....
The idea of war is stupid.
I'm not going to be judgemental or factual at all about this. This is all about opinion. =) I hate war. There are so many different ways of settling arguments rather than going into a huge war killing hundreds, thousands, millions of people for the stupidest reasons. You know how teachers go saying, Violance never solves anything...blah, blah, blah. Like it matters! We're in a war with Iraq and Bush is making it ten times worse. It's just gonna be another endless cycle. Then when one side finall...
"An eye for an eye" is a fairer system than incarceration(Please, DO NOT vote w/o reading debate)
First, I would like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate. Secondly, my opponent must prove me wrong, not the other way around. Thirdly, I would like to put down the rules I will be following, and ask that my opponent also follow them: 1. exclude politics. 2. treat this as a theoretical debate on the founding principle, excluding any past laws or punishment put forth by any government or religion. I will allow my opponent to go first since he/she has the burden of proof....
Die deutsche Bundesregierung should quarantine HIV-positive people.
There is currently no effective cure for HIV, which leads to AIDS and, subsequently, thousands of Germans die of this highly contagious disease each year. Die deutsche Bundesregierung (German federal government) should screen the entire populations for HIV and those found positive should be segregated and transported in sealed railway carriages direct to isolated convalescing camps where guests would be provided with food and accommodation in return for working in factories located within the...
London is the best capital city in the world.
By best city in the world, I do not mean, most economically important. I view london the best city in the world from a cultural standpoint. If you live in london you begin to realise that what ever you want, london has to offer. The blend of victorian housing and ultra modern sky scrapers and office towers, means London has an image that is unique. The cultural diversity, though not liked by all londoners, creates a charm, that I think is also unique to this fantastic city! Please challenge my i...
Inheritance taxes should be abolished.
Lets say you receive an email from a lawyer in Nigeria informing you that a wealthy relative (that you never knew you had) had been killed in a road accident in Lagos and has left their entire fortune to you, and after sending the lawyer a transaction fee of $5000 he transfers $13,530,051 into your bank account. I believe that this windfall, like all unearned capital gains, should be subject to taxation so that society as a whole can share in the good fortune of those people lucky enough to r...
To murder Christiano Ronaldo on the high seas would not only be desirable, but legal too.
I don't have his telephone number, so it might not be possible to see this through, but I was thinking of inviting Ronaldo to join me on board my boat for a short cruise. Assuming he accepted my invitation, as soon as we were in international waters, where one is not subject to any national law, I'd chuck him overboard (making sure first that there were no vessels in the vicinity whose crew might not know who Ronaldo is and rescue him by mistake). In my opinion, Ronaldo is a cheating ponce who d...
