Should animal hunting be illegal?
Hello ladies and gentlemen today I will begin my argument by making you aware of the extent of hunting we will make legal. With are argument I want to make sure that we are all clear that we are legalising seasonal hunting with specific predators not at risk of extinction the amount and some other limitations. Were always being told we don't need it, and we can live without it. Well nothing could be further from reality. Despite claims from organizations like PETA (people for the ethical trea...
There is no way to even ballpark what percentage of global warming is caused by CO2 gases.
Most global warming fans will admit that CO2 (both natural and man-made) is just one of the many factors that contribute to global warming, both present and past. Most will also admit that long before cars and factories came about, wild temperature swings in both directions occurred under relatively stable CO2 levels. Additionally, most will admit there is no reason to believe these natural (non-CO2) factors are not contributing to the current warming trend. If this is the case, the percentage o...
God's existence can be proven through indirect means.
God's existence can be proven through indirect means. I stand in firm affirmation. Contentions: I. Argument of Causation. In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible. Now in efficient causes it is not possible to go on to infinity, because in all efficient causes following in order, the f...
It is possible to become a top level bodybuilder without resorting to anabolic steroids.
For the purposes of this debate the term anabolic steroid will apply to synthetic testosterone and HGH, and similar products such as DECA, ANDRO, and the like. My premise is that the human body is capable of reaching high levels of muscle mass and low levels of bodyfat, to a degree that they could compete on a professional bodybuilding stage. It is my contention that supplements and drugs are at the very bottom of the list of what determines ones potential as a bodybuilder. The first facto...
Pro has a Heavier Burden Than Con When Debating on Debate.org if Pro Goes First in a Debate.
First I would like to clarify on two things 1.By "Heavier Burden", I mean more to argue 2.I realize I am Pro and that according to myself I will have to argue more than Con to prove myself Now for my opening argument. Pro and Con have two different responsibilities as Pro and Con. Pro's duty is to prove his/her point by any means necessary. Con's duty is to Refute Pro's points, this does not mean proving the opposite of what Pro thinks/feels. Con has the ability to do this, but when only...
Worshiping God
Here's my problem. God simply cannot be omnipotent, perfect, and loving (which Christianity and other major religions preach). Take life as a case study, all around us there are gross injustices. Cut throat business men get ahead, good guys finish last. Charity and kindness are laughed at, materialism and opulence are exalted. Millions are slaughtered in war, genocide, natural disasters; others are tortured, raped, beaten, scarred. Diseases ravage and deplete entire generations, children grow up...
The Pokémon Diamond and Pearl/Battle Dimension anime series is less entertaining than the video game
The topic pretty much states my position in this debate. I will begin by stating multiple points in favor of my opinion and challenge my opponent (whoever that is =Þ) to render my points obsolete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.There is a (bad) pun in almost all of the episode titles for the anime series. For example, would you consider "Once in a Mawile" and "Luxray Vision" to be entertaining? I personally do not think bad puns are entertaining. 2.The main ch...
The South Park episode "Ginger Kids" is an accurate representation of red-heads
Well, I'll allow my opponent to make the opening argument, as they are in an impossible position, it is only fair for them to start off I'll set some rules though 1) Redheads refers to people with ginger/ red/ orange/ auburn hair 2) South Park refers to the TV show Now we know what we're debating about :-D...
Pascal's Wager should not be followed, it is flawed.
Pascal wagered that should one not be able to confirm whether a god truly exists or not then it would be wise to believe anyways as infinite happiness is on the line. I believe this principle to be flawed....
Homosexuality is natural and morally correct. Homophobia is morallly incorrect.
I. I am gay. I was made a certain way and never had a choice. I am really outraged by the many prejudice things I have read on this website. I hope to change somebody's mind on homosexuality with this debate, although, it is unlikely that they will stop being prejudice. It was important for me to use many sources and ALL ARE SCIENTIFICALLY BASED. I know how easy it is to find a non-scientific biased site, but all of my sources are scientific. +++ Homosexuality is natural. It is not a choic...
