| Quotes: | "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't." - George S. Patton "The conservative would ban illicit sex, drugs, gambling, and impiety, and coerce everyone to act according to his version of moral and religious behavior. The liberal would ban films of violence, unesthetic advertising, football, and racial discrimination, and, at the extreme, place everyone in a "Skinner box" to be run by a supposedly benevolent liberal dictator." - Murray N. Rothbard "There is a fundamental difference between religion, which is based on authority and science, which is based on observation and reason. Science will win because it works." - Stephen Hawking |

Abortion Is Morally Permissible
I want to begin by thanking KeytarHero for giving me the opportunity to have a debate with him on this very important moral issue. I'm going to defend two basic contentions as I proceed to make my case. First, there are no good reasons to think that abortion is morally wrong. And secondly, there are good reasons to think that abortion is morally permissible. In defense of that first contention, I'll begin by offering a brief critique of a common pro-life argument. C1: The sanctity of life do...
Humanity Should Begin Efforts to Colonize Mars
I want to begin by saying how pleased I am to get the opportunity to debate Grape on this very unique and important topic. Though the issue of space exploration isn't much discussed in the general public, it does receive quite a bit of attention in academia. In particular, Stephen Hawking, a world-renowned physicist and the former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, has been outspoken in support for the colonization of Mars.[1] I've come before you all to defend Ste...
Same-Sex Marriage Should Be Legal in the United States
I want to begin by saying how delighted I am to be debating Contradiction on this very important social issue. It's good to be able to argue with someone who is so philosophically inclined. For my part of the debate, I'll be arguing that same-sex marriage should be legal in the United States. Accordingly, in this debate I'm going to defend two basic contentions. First, there are no legally tenable reasons to ban same-sex marriage. And secondly, there are good reasons to think that same-sex marri...
Intelligent design VS Evolution
Full resolution: Intelligent Design is an equally legitimate theory versus evolution First round is for acceptance, clarifications, and the such. Usually I make explicit rules and restrictions, but I trust my opponent not to make any semantic or otherwise dumb arguments. But as a brief explanation, this is the way this debate will work; starting round two I will present my beliefs on Intelligent Design VS Evolution and con will attack them. If at the end of the debate I have not defend...
Abortion Is Morally Permissible
I want to begin by saying how pleased I am to debate Trent on this most important of moral issues. Like my opponent, I have a deep interest in bioethics. So I'm very much looking forward to discussing the philosophical aspects of abortion with such a capable and passionate contender. In this debate I'm going to defend two basic contentions. First, there are no good reasons to think that abortion is morally wrong. And secondly, there are good reasons to think that abortion is morally permissib...
