France would beat the United States (1812)
I am arguing that France would win a war against the United States in 1812. Only these two countries will be at war with each other, meaning Britain is not at war with any of them and Napoleon does not invade Russia. This way it is a fair fight. No trolling or semantics. Round 1 is for acceptance....
Resolved: The destruction of the death star was an inside job.

And it will all be wasted. All it will do is put this country more in debt!! #2: If all of his 23 orders are passed then it will still will NOT lower violence. Look up how putting countless regulati...
Debate.org is crawling with atheists hostile to christianity
Debate.org is crawling with atheists hostile to christianity. Thus it is nearly impossible for a christian to win a debate on debate .org due to the biased voters even when the christian presents a superior argument. Jesus experienced the same hostility from the intellectuals of his day even to the point of being killed despite his superior logic....

I have provided a list of Star Trek technology. My opponent must choose one of these listed fictional technologies and argue why it's impossible to create. My burden of proof will be to explain why it is possible to create such a technology.
