In a Democratic Society, Felons Ought to Retain the Right to Vote
Today, we live in a world in which societies need authority. People are always self interested which is why most societies cannot flourish. Due to this fact, we must protect society and the people who believe in the society. However, the only way to do this is to find a way enforce people to respect the society. This leads to my value which is justice and my value criterion which is Retribution of individuals in society. I would like to clarify the following definitions from the Merriam-Webste...
The State of Massachusetts should be ceded in order to create a homeland for Roma people
For centuries, Roma people (otherwise known as Gypsies) have travelled far and wide and have faced prejudice and persecution wherever they have gone. In many ways, their experience mirrors that of the Jewish people. However, whereas the Jews were granted their own homeland when the State of Israel was created after World War II, even though the Nazi's exterminated over 600,000 Roma people in the Holocaust, the Roma still have nowhere to call "home". http://www.romani.org/ The Jewish people...

Abortion: The loss of an embryo or fetus either spontaneously (miscarriage) or induced (when a pregnancy is terminated on purpose) before 20 weeks.

Calling homosexuality a perversion/dysfunction is equally valid as saying the same for heterosexuali
this is true because a "straight" lady who experimented told me so so this must be correct.. you know, since she was "straight" and unbiased...
The government has been complicit in spreading HIV in poor and black communities
I will argue that the premise of Rev. Jeremiah Wright that so inflamed Americans is actually true. He argued that the government has spread HIV or been complicit in its spread, especially in the black community. My first contention is that the government, and their officials, make a lot of money from the drug trade. The drug war costs hundreds of billions when the money is all tallied up, and that money doesn't just disappear, it goes into peoples' pockets. Millions benefit from the prison sy...
Cats are better than dogs
The world goes to the dogs. Maybe now is the right time to decide what is more beneficial for us - as the citizens: To own a dog or to own a cat? The answer is quite simple ladies and gentlemen: Of course that we should own a cat since it is more beneficial for us! Are you wondering why am I claiming so? Read more. Definitions: "are better" = "their possession is more beneficial for their owners" Arguments: 1. Cats are better than dogs because it is much more likely to be killed by a...

Because there are Nonbelievers, God does not exist.
*Clarification purposes* By "God", I am referring to the Christian god. An omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibelevolent entity. He also loves everyone and wishes for all of us to go to heaven (1 Timothy 2:4). He has other attributes, but these are all that is needed to form this compelling argument. After starting this debate awhile ago, and seemingly to have lost it, I realized that I was quite unclear in my arguments, and am trying to try my hand at it again. Having done research, I fou...
Resolved- All legally and clinically sane citizens should have the right to keep and bear arms.
Resolved- All legally and clinically sane citizens should have the right to keep and bear arms. First of all, let me thank my opponent for accepting this debate, if in fact he does accept it. The right to keep and bear arms is a right given by birth, not only a right protected by the laws of many countries. This isn't an issue about regulation, the amount of firearms allowed, munitions used, whether or not the firearm is auto/semi-auto, etc.- this is simply an issue of the right to keep a...
