Men are physically superior to Women.
I believe that women are physically inferior to men because they are biologically born weaker. This can be seen in sports as well as in any mundane workplace. Women are usually more languorous when it comes to the workplace as their body is not resolute enough to hold them throughout the day. Certain partisans may agree to a point that they are the better gender as they are tired from after work duties as their reverence is questioned everyday at home. I believe that they actually work as har...
Evolution, does it make sense?
Does evolution make sense? Well i hardly have an answer now but ill draw up some facts and stories then ill conclude my thoughts.The religion of Evolution The more people I encounter who subscribe to evolution as a plausible explanation for the beginning of the human species, the more I see common ground between atheists and the religious.

This house believes in Utilitarianism over its rivals.
The debate is simply as the resolution stands. No squirreling of terminology to change the intended purpose of debate, the division of labour is mostly on myself (though my opponent should present a counterplan).
The round structures should be as followed:
R1 - Acceptance and any opening remarks.
R2 - An explanation of your ethical system. There should not be serious engagement with the opposition's argument, though i...
"subjective morality" is substatively no different than moral nihilism
moral nihilists claim that nothing is moral or immoral. subjective moralists often disagree by saying something along the lines of "objective morality doesnt exist, but things can be subjectively moral or immoral". they generally define subjective immorality as some sorts of harmful actions that people might subjectively dislike. guess what? moral nihilists and even objective moralists also believe there are "harmful actions that people might subjectively dislike". the difference is that obj...
