George W. Bush was not one of the top 5 worst president.
to start I will clarify my position and the argument for me to claim victory in this debate I must show that there have been 5 worse presidents. to do this I must show that there presidencies have had a greater detrimental effect on the society. con. first round they will give reasons why G.W.B was the worst president ever. pro.2nd round I will refute and explain why other presidents were worse....
Debate.org voter data should be publicly available
I submit that all debate votes in this site should be publicly viewable to site members. How it's done is not relevant, though I can think of a couple ideas. A new tab could be added to each debate called Voter History and when viewed, lists every vote, by whom, and when. Alternatively, a new menu could be added to the debate.org banner called Votes, in which members can view report-like listing of votes by debate or by member. However it's done, it's important that voting no longer be anonymous...

Note: There is no PRO and CON for this debate. Both sides are arguing the PRO for the merits of their system. This is an argument on the merits of both s...
Women rely heavily on the opinions of others in selecting a companion.
I'm generalizing of course. But guys, if you want to ruin your chances with a female (regardless of how attracted she is to you physically) just find a way to make sure her friends disapprove of you. The perceived personal status that would result from a prospective romantic alliance weighs heavily on a woman's decision to select or reject a man. Do not confuse my claim to mean women will only seek men with fame, fortune or good looks to increase their status. Depending on a woman's peer group,...
All religions are incorrect.
Resolved: There is not sufficient evidence to support that a god in any form claimed by any religion exists. If, by chance, a deity of some sort existed, it would certainly not be anything like any organized religion has claimed. Conclusion: All organized religions are wrong. Note: Let's keep this debate clean....
