America is being "dumbed down"
No Wikipedia No adding new arguments in later rounds No profiles that claim they are 100 years old. Nobody under 18. No word games. No playing with semantics. No vague definition of words. If you use a word that can have several meanings, make it clear what you actually mean. Texting has encouraged young people to stop caring about spelling and grammar. Ur, U, B4, Y and other "abbreviations" are even showing up in student school papers. http://www.suntimes.com/news/education/4600849-4...

That it is possible to give an objective vote for any given debate
My opponent and I will be debating whether or not it is necessary to bring one's personal opinion into a vote when voting on a debate. I have the BOP in this debate to show that it is not necessary, that is, that the vote for any given debate can be objectively derived. Structure will be as per normal for DDO debates. First round is acceptance. Some definitions: Objective = not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased (http://dictionary.refe...

Premise 1 is true because the definition of God does not allow for contingency; it either necessarily exists or it necessarily doesn't exist. Premise 2 is true because it is possible to define God using only negative properties; such proper...
Red Sox Vs. Yankee's
In my opinion the Red Sox are way better than the Yankee's. They may not have won as many World Series than the Yankee's but the are inspirational because after so many years after the curse keeping them from winning and then doing the unthinkable and winning the World Series....
Rape Should Not Be An Exception In Abortion Policy
Perhaps abortion should be generally legal, perhaps it should be generally illegal. But if it is illegal then rape should not be allowed to be an exception. If abortion is illegal that is predicated on the fetus being a human person with inalienable rights. If the fetus is a human person with inalienable rights then killing it because its father raped its mother is punishing the child for the actions of the father, and is immoral and a violation of equal protection of the law and due pr...

The Ontological Argument
A while ago, I debated a user named 'izbo10' about this very topic and lost. I conceded my position, and left the site for a while, forfeiting a few debates I had going.
Anyways, I have reassessed the argument and still believe the Ontological Argument is a wonderful and sound piece of work to lead us towards our Abramic-creator, whichever one that may be. The argument that will be discussed will be the f...
Obama is an idiot.
