STMAknight92

The gay Gestapo is preventing rational arguments against homosexuals.

TheAmericanPatriot

Whether or not you are from a religious background or one which believes in Evolution, you have several things in common, you believe gay behaviour to be unnatural and wrong. Yet whenever anyone points this out the gay Gestapo and their emotional backers barrage you into the ground calling you a bigot, how can we as a people prove them wrong if they just call us bigots without debate. Both evolution and religion are anti homo. As the bible is black and white on the issue hate the sin but no the...

Eitan_Zohar

The United States should elect a woman as President in 2016

DudeWithoutTheE

Debate parameters:

1) I have burden of proof
2) By 'should' I am arguing that the consequences of electing any reasonable female candidate, Republican or Democrat, will be better than that of electing any real-world male candidate with similar political positions, and as a result that Primary voters in both parties ought to support female candidates if a viable one is available (and that such women who fill these criteria have a certain imperative to offer themselves as cand...
