Riddle Debate

If you get this right then you get all seven points, but if you don't get it right, then I het all seven points.


In a world far, far away, there are two types of people. Politicians and preachers. Politicians always lie and preachers tell the truth.


You go up to one person and ask him if he is a politician.

He answers.

Another person comes up and says he saw the first guy deny being a politician.

Then, a thi...

Should the US institute compulsory military service?

Muddy-Rivers

I'll start it out simple. I will not establish any rules f debate except to maintain respect for the opponent. Should the US institute compulsory military service for those that turn 18? I think they should if the person in question does not attend college and is in proper health for service, proper health meaning medical conditions, not physical fitness as I think that through this service it would assist in the increase in physical health for Americans. In addition I think that within coll...

Christians ought to accept vegans as world moves forwards and even promote the belief

BBoySuperBeast

I have been trying to be a vegan many years while suffering from poverty. Its was difficult and i only ever lasted months at a time till i broken down and accepted vegetarianism or societies mainstream habits of fish and meat.

Yet i stand sure that the milk and the egg of this modern world hold the darker sinister and not told tell of sin and lack purity. Its alcohol and bread we share in the Lord Names not tea, biscuits or c...

The Ancient Astronaut Theory is Correct

ishallannoyyo

Before I even begin, I would like to point out that I do not ACTUALLY believe the ancient astronaut theory. However, I think that this would be a fun debate to try out.

The BOP will be on me for this debate to prove that what has been dismissed as "coincidences" or "human intelligence" is actually artifacts and knowledge given to us by aliens. The opposition will only have a BOD.

College Football is better than NFL football

ConnorMc

College Football is something that a solid amount of Americans enjoy on a Saturday afternoon. The same goes with NFL football on Sunday. The difference between the two, is the passion of the fans. For me, an Iowa Hawkeyes and Notre Dame fan, I enjoy watching these teams a little more than I do watching my favorite NFL team, the Chicago Bears. Now, don't get me wrong I adore the NFL, but there is something about college football that makes it better College Football has a much different fee...
