The United States federal government should reverse the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.
The Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act is economically and morally repugnant. - We spend much of the taxpayer's dollars to train good soldiers and then these expensive soldiers are suddenly discharged for a discrminatory reason as sexual orientation. - Hundreds of soldiers have been discharged even though we need these soldiers desperately. - Arabic linguists are in high demand and low supply in the military, but these people are being let go of the military for the purpose of sexual orientation...
The United Church of Latter Day Hedonists is the world's latest and most exciting religous cult.
I have seen that there is good money to be made out of religion these days, especially if you run your own church. http://www.philcooke.com/money Actually, I could do with a new yacht, and I've always fancied a private jet, so I have decided to use the good offices of debate.org to argue the viability of establishing the United Church of Latter Day Hedonists with me as the Supreme Leader. The basis of my religion will be praising Humanity by indulging in gratuitous pleasures as a tribut...
Geographical evidence points to a global flood that coincides w/ Genesis account of Noah's Ark
Geographical evidence points to a global flood that coincides with the Genesis account of Noah's Ark This is my first post on the site and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to debate this topic. Peace. 1)Global flood evidences include: The earth's features (such as mountains, canyons, regional stratigraphy (large-scale single rock beds), soft bending of rock strata, etc.) require some type of catastrophic explanation. Sedimentary rock formations (formed through w...

Satanism is a detriment to the United States of America.
Satanism as defined by dictionary.com as the worship of Satan powers of evil as being diabolical and and having a satanic disposition and behaviour. Seeing as how Satanism ENCOURAGES people to commit illegal activity and horrifying beahvaiour let it be resolved that Satanism is a burden upon this great nation. In a documentay on the History Channel High Priest of the Church of Satan Peter H. Gilmore said "Do what makes you happy!If taking thing fufills you individual pleasure then do it!If sex f...
Ronaldo is an odious cheat; a disgrace to football and should be banned from the game forthwith.
I should just like to provide a few definitions before I begin: Football – soccer. Christian Ronaldo – Manchester United and Portugal international player who ponces about the pitch like Billy Elliot with a feckin' football, looking for an opportunity to deceive the referee into awarding a foul in his favour and thus unfairly penalising the opposing player. Billy Elliot – a fictional character of stage and screen; a nancy boy whose ambition as a youth was to become a dancer. Nancy...
Homosexual relationships (married or not married) are ultimatley beneficial to society.
*before i begin this debate, please note that i am in no way making a personal attack on people who are homosexual in any way. also note that i am in no way a bigot, and am looking for an intelligent debate. every claim or attack that i do make in this round will be backed up by tangible evidence with sources cited. Since i am con, i negate the resolution that "homosexual relationships (married or not married) are ultimately beneficial to today's society." i do so with the following three po...
19. It is morally permissable to kill one innocent person to save the lives of many innocent people.
Congratulations, TheLwerd, on making it this far in the tournament undefeated. Thank you, judges, for your analysis, and spectators, if there are any, for your interest. Now, without further ado, let's boogie: *** "I am for those means which will give the greatest good to the greatest number." Because I agree with these words of 16th American President Abraham Lincoln, I espouse it and the PRO side of the resoltuion, which states: IT IS MORALLY PERMISSABLE TO KILL ONE INNOCENT PERSON...
The suffering of mankind [in this life or the after-life is not the fault of God.
Oaky I believe that this topic of debate is pretty self explanitory. Everyday horrible autrocities happen. People are murdered, rapped, robbed, and treated like trash, but God cannot be blammed for these happenings. It is all the doing of man, and whats worse is that lots of people are sent to hell all the time. God cannot be blammed for this either, because that us the fault of that indivisual. Overall we know right from wrong, sometimes we feel as if we cannot help doing the wrong thing when p...
There's more aggro up in Heaven* than at a pikey's wedding.
Okay, I realise that the words "aggro" and "pikey" are not universally understood in the English-speaking world so just to clarify, "aggro" means violence and a "pikey" is a non-Romany gypsy with a propensity to start fights. Now, please allow me to make a few observations: Heaven* has existed since the dawn of time. Heaven* will exist until the end of time. God* will not discriminate against babies, or pre-Christian era people, or people living in tree-houses in Borneo, or anybody e...
