The USFG should prohibit children from possessing rifles
When the mother of a 5 year-old boy left him alone to play with his 2 year-old sister while she went outside on Tuesday this week, she must have thought "They'll be fine, what could possibly go wrong?" She must have thought her young son would be mature and responsible enough to be left alone with the 22-caliber rifle, complete with live ammunition, that she bought him for his birthday but, tragically, while she was out the little boy picked up his rifle and shot his baby sister dead. [1]...
Resolved: Vagina Day should be a national holiday
Re-doing this debate because the last one got accepted by an idiot who doesnt know what a f*ckin troll debate is THIS IS INDEED A TROLL DEBATE. That means if you take it seriously then youre a dumba**. The point of troll debates is to use semantical and humorous arguments to make a case just for sh*ts and giggles. I am arguing that 'Vagina Day' (A day that would celebrate women, honor all the accomplishments of famous women, and honor all women in society today of hanging in there despite...
Society should be more tolerant of 'the love that dare not speak its name'
Naturally, I find repulsive the thought of what men who iron their socks get up to in the bedroom (or in public lavatories in the case of George Michael) but I believe that gentlemen who are fans of Billy Elliot have nothing to be ashamed of and that friends of Dorothy should be more widely accept...
An international sanctuary for victims of famine and war should be established in Israel
The trouble with giving state aid to developing countries, or donating to charities working with developing countries, is that much of the aid intended for victims of war and famine is channelled through the governments of various banana republics, tin-pot dictatorships and other corrupt regimes whose leaders siphon off donations to buy weapons, private planes, prestigious cars or to build magnificent palaces for themselves. Sadly, all-too-often, these third world tyrants put their own personal...
In crowded places, the obese should be made to walk in single file
Firstly, I would like this to be a politically correct debate and I would be grateful it my opponent avoided using derogatory terms such as: ‘fatso’; ‘hefferlump’; ‘slobberchops’; ‘pig-in-panties’; ‘porky’; ‘lord of the pies’; ‘salad-dodging lard-arse’ and ‘big, fat, sweating pile of stinking blubber’ when referring to a gravitationally challenged person. Now, onto the debate.

Rules: No swearing or calling names First round is for acceptance only Rebuttals and arguments allowed at all times, but there should be no new arguments in the last round No forfeiting!!! First round is for acceptance only....
Margaret Thatcher should not be granted a state funeral
Margaret "the milk snatcher" Thatcher, the wretched former Prime Minister of Great Britain, whose crusades against the working class devastated the nation's heavy industries and threw millions of decent, hard-working people onto the scrapheap of society, is now an elderly woman and is officially certified as insane (whereas when she was in power she was merely suspected of being so). Given her advanced years it can't be long now before she joins Colonel Gadafi, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il and...
It's time Jesus finished the job
It’s over two thousand years since God sent his son, Jesus, down to Earth to enlighten humanity and make sure everybody signed up to Christianity, but he only managed to convert a small number of people before the Jews killed him. Notwithstanding this, some of his followers wrote his biography, which they called The New Testament and cleverly sold free with the Bible in order to spread the word. These early Christian evangelists peddled the Good Book around Europe and beyond and it event...
Air fares should reflect the combined weight of the passenger and their luggage
The problem of paedophile priests probably prompted the Pope to vacate the Vatican
Former member of the Hitler Youth [1] and apologist for paedophile homosexual priests: Pope Benedict XVI; today stepped down as leader of the Catholic Church amid a storm of controversy relating to the sexual misconduct of his clergy. Of course, the Pope couldn't come out and blatantly admit he was hounded out of office by his failure to adequately address the institutionalised paedophilia in the Catholic Church, instead he blamed his advancing years and merely hinted at the problem of priest...
