Nobody should be above the law

Isn't that already the case? Well, in America (where I know most Debate.Org members live) that may well be the current situation but here in England the Queen can do whatever she likes with absolute impunity. For example, say the Queen goes into a charity shop and slyly conceals a secondhand Mills and Boon novel under her crown and walks out, but the security guards surround her as she leaves and they wrestle her to the ground, she can turn round to them and say: "Unhand me this instance y...

It's nearly impossible to win a one round debate.

No matter what I say in the first round, it opens up for one quick counter argument and no chances at rebuttal. There's the off chance that the opponent fails to read the topic appropriately but those are fairly rare. Largely the only person who would take such a debate is somebody who has thought of some clever way to counter the original argument. For example, this debate might be countered with various claims and accusations and I would be powerless to rebut those claims and thus lose....

There is a conflict of interest when dentists advise on tooth care.

ATTENTION: -=This debate is intended for aphistis from StudentDoctor.net I would politely ask no one else to accept this for at least a month, thank you.=- While obviously an expert in a given subject is more likely to be qualified to speak on issues relating to that subject, there still exists a clear conflict of interest when those experts fiscally profit off of situations that could arise from faulty or missing advise on that subject. Dentists being a clear example. That this confl...

InfraRedEd does piss me off. When I refer to InfraRedEd, I am strictly referring to the debater on this website. http://www.debate.org/InfraRedEd/ The definition of piss off for this debate shall be: piss off- to anger. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/piss%20off Reading throughout InfraRedEd's debates, I can tell he pisses me off/angers me. He tends to rant and has created ridiculous debates that piss me off; such as: http://www.debate.org/debates/InfraRedEd-Is-The-Grea...

Greetings. The resolution is exactly as it says. I won't begin arguing until the second round since it hasn't yet occurred to me how I actually wish to argue this. My opponent is free to begin the debate with his first round or wait for me to begin in round 2. It matters little to me. In addition, CON is more than free to define the resolution, but I reserve to the right to argue against his interpretation should I feel that it does not match the intentions of this debate (this is assuming he...
