gowolves777

I affirm that In the United States plea bargaining in exchange for testimony is unjust. I will offer the following definitions to clarify the round- Merriam Webster defines plea bargaining as the negotiation of an agreement between a prosecutor and a defendant whereby the defendant is permitted to plead guilty to reduced charge Testimony is a solemn decla...

LOGICAL POLICY, RES.- The USFG should substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the US

Johnicle

Okay, I've never tried policy debate before but I've been teaching myself a few things so I'm going to give it a shot. I hope this will be a good learning experience. I think I can do alright but we'll see. But we're using the 2008-2009 policy debate topic of... Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase alternative energy incentives in the United States. The reason I put logical in the beginning of the "topic of debate" is so evidence is NOT required. Bas...

Global Alarmists (aka liberals) are causing the global food crisis.

Al Gore and the idiot libs who have so passionately promoted this hoax of global warming (aka bigger government and control) have at the same time caused an even more urgent and real crisis in food shortages around the world. Aren't the libs just so compassionate and brilliant?...

The United States should get the hell out of the UN.

TheConservative

The UN's basic philosophy is both anti-American and pro-totalitarian. Our Declaration of Independence proclaims the "self-evident" truth that "men … are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." But, in its Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the UN ignores God's existence, implies that it grants rights, and then repeatedly claims power "as provided by law" to cancel them out of existence. If any government can place restrictions on such fundamental rights as freedom of spee...

COD4 is just a money-maker while Halo 3 has meaning. It's meaning is to spread Halo to the 360 with added new features (and better...

deceitful: having a tendency or disposition to deceive: a: not honest, b: deceptive, misleading (http://www.merriam-webster.com/) I hope that whoever accepts this debate will accept the fact that Fox News is bias to the right-wing. This debate is not about MSNBC, CNN, ABC, ect. Fox is the network on trial here, and I wish to refrain from bringing in other networks to this discussion. This debate is only seeking an answer to the question "Is Fox News a deceitful source for 'news'?" To...
