The Law of Parsimony Favors Intelligent Design - B
Resolved: The Law of Parsimony Favors Intelligent Design Over Alternative Theories. Please abstain from the use of semantics. I would like to thank my future opponent for his/her willingness to debate this topic. For the sake of clarity I will briefly summarize the rule of parsimony and Intelligent Design, and then follow with my numerically listed points. The Rule of Parsimony: Essentially, the simplest theory wins. That is to say, the theory with the same explanatory power and least...
Socialism is a better economic system then capitalism.
Like in the ld style of debate, I thank you in advance for accepting. Good luck....
Betty Boop should be shown on TV in modern day America.
I stand in firm affirmation of the reselution which states that Betty Boop will once again become a popular figure in entertainment once again. Contention 1: Current Popularity If any of you have looked around at you local Wal*Mart or mall, then you've probably seen some kind of Betty Boop merchandise. These products practically sell themselves. She is already a popular character with the youth of America, even though they haven't seen the cartoons yet. Many adults remember her fondly f...
Abortion practiced on a baby with a beating heart should be illegal
I stand on the pro side of this argument. Abortion. Simply put...ew. Babies have a right to live. Before I say anything, I would like to point out that this resolution says "practiced on a baby with a beating heart". Babies are not considered alive and can't feel pain until they are 8 weeks old. Abortion before this point, I personally believe, is ok. Not necessarily right, but definitely ok. Now, I know a common argument for this topic is "WHAT ABOUT THE RAPE BABIES?" Well, my friends, it i...
I Challenge Again On God's Existence -- God Exists And People Need To Know That
Again another argument on God's existence. But I will not stop debating the truth. Atheists love these debates on God's existence because they want to know more of God. You treat it like God does not exist. Because you say there is no God. But why do you? You do not know. When you understand the concept of God is it upsetting, once you get the concept you hate sin, and because of the truth you are aware of the punishment which is hell. This is so destressing in that you know you can save...
Gay Marraige Should Be Allowed.
Gays should be allowed to marry partners of their choice just as heterosexual couples do. It is ignorant in today's world to deny such a basic right to an individual because of something that is innate. Yes, sexuality is not a choice, it is innate. For my first point, let me state that a civil union is not a reasonable compromise for a legal marriage. Most civil unions don't have the same rights as a legal marriage has. Even if we made all civil unions exactly equal to legal marriage but cal...
Indecent exposure laws should be gender specific
There's nothing more unsightly on a woman's body than tan lines but the only way a girl can avoid them is to sunbathe naked. Unfortunately, in the past, puritans, ultra-orthodox prudes and bikini salesmen have been very successful in lobbying lawmakers to ban nudist beaches. This means that the only way most women can get an all-over tan is to strip off in their own back gardens. Of course, some gardens are overlooked by neighbouring properties. Now picture, if you will, a fine summer's day....
school's should not make you wear uniforms
First, let me start off by explaining myself( although it is mostly self explanatory): school: an institution where instruction is given to persons under college age. uniforms: an outfit or style worn by members of a group, or in this case, students in a school. First of all, Uniforms are worn at schools so there won't be any gang colors being worn, and also so no one can make fun of you if you wear clothes from Wal-Mart, or a place that isn't "popular" like Hollister, or Aeropostale. But if...
How would you feel if America had gotten sailor uniforms
In Japan the most popular uniforms are sailor uniforms I am for this how would you feel if America adopted this style for the girls. Are against it or for it. how Would it affect schools and the country and how do you feel Japan would handle this....
The State of Rhodesia Should be Restored
In this debate I will attempt to prove to the reader that the former state of Rhodesia should be restored. Rhodesia was the former political state that existed in what is now Zimbabwe. I will contend that Rhodesia should be restored because of the gross incompetence of the government to adequately provide for its citizens. Contention I: The government of Zimbabwe pursues a flawed economic policy that has set the nation in a downward spiral and resulted in uncontrolled inflation. Inf...
