I am presenting this debate because even though many people' d say I'm too young as to criticize what adults are doing and I can't do anything to change it, I want to say that all of us are making of this place something and somewhere is ratherable not to live in, or to live with fear. Every day the numbers of deaths and murders are increasing, people don't do anything because most (not saying all) is more interested in wealth and richness than in trying to help the others and to prevent this...

There is a religious instinct that explains much beyond religion.

Resolved: There is a religious instinct that explains much beyond religion. I contend that there is a "religious instinct" which is independent of any particular religion. Every religion is a manifestation of the religious instinct, but not every manifestation is a religion. The claimed religious instinct is a conjunction of three factors: 1. An innate human desire to have theories that explain the world around them. 2. An innate human design to belong to a tribe bonded by common belie...

KyleLumsden

Most immigrants are coming to the US in order to escape miserable conditions in their own country. However, the US should not allow them to do this. After all, by leaving their country, the immigrants are essentially abandoning it to the mercy of whatever dictatorship or terarchy currently governs their society. By leaving the country, the immigrants deplete the number of people left to resist the government, and thus allow the issues to fester and metastasize. We should help the whole world imp...
