Australia is a better place to live than the USA.
Yes, that is right Australia is a better place to live in than the USA. This I will demonstrate convincingly through the four rounds. My points will be. 1) How the living standard in the USA is poor. 2) How the living standard in Australia is superior to the USA My opponent must demonstrate why Australia is not a better place to live than the USA, statistics would be appreciated. I hope those who vote base their vote on how either side debated, and not their opinion. I thank whoeve...
Organized religion
Organized religion is too structured to allow the seeking of independent beliefs and philosophies. Organized religion cannot help but "brainwash" members. With an organization forever saying this and only this is true one cannot help but be subject to the possibility of becoming "brainwashed". The religion telling one what to do, how to react, what to believe, and how to think causes an inability to examine different facts and experiences making up the individual. There is no le way for chang an...
should the driving age stay at 16?
Well i hear that they want to higher the age, and i don;t think that is right! The only reson for this is because "Teenagers cause more wrecks!" But if you think about it, its the older people who are getting in more car crashes then 16,17,18,19, and 20 year olds. So i just don't get it....
Hate Crimes Enhancements in the United States are unjustified.
To justify a hate crime enhancement, you would have to justify that someone should be punished more severly because of their own beliefs. And for this reason, Hate Crime Enhancements are Unjust in the United States. Point 1. Constitutional Right. It is clearly written in the first amendment that you have the right to free speech and such. In this amendment, it is understood that you have the right to hate someone, and there is nothing unjust about hate. If someone were to commit a crime sim...

The UN should give Iran an atomic weapons-backed guarantee against a pre-emptive strike by Israel.
In exchange for complying with her obligations as a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Tehran should receive the assurance that any unprovoked attack on Iran by Israel will be met with an appropriate and immediate military response from UN members, including the use of nuclear weapons if necessary, with no further reference to, or agreement of, the UN Security Council required. I suspect that the knowledge that Israel (a non-signatory to the NPT) already po...
Genetically Modifying Human Beings is Unethical.
I used to be very much against the idea of g-modifying humans. (from here on I will use g-modify as an abbreviation for genetically modify) I will admit that it's a hard notion to swallow but now I am convinced that it is something we should pursue. To clarify I am arguing against the claim that g-modification is unethical and only that. I do not need to prove in anyway that it is actually ethical as this would be difficult since I don't believe in objective morality. First I will define: (a...
The United States is in fact, the greatest nation in the world.
The United States of America, rich in natural beauty, history of incredible overcomings, and freedoms given to individual citizens of this great nation are just the tip of the scale as to what makes up the bulk of truths proving the United States is the greatest nation. I hope to touch on several facts, facts the prove my point that the United States is the greatest nation in the world. -Industry -Technology -Military -Agriculture -Entertainment -Culture -Sports -Education These...
Religion (in general)
I believe in freedom of religion. However, I wish religion had never existed. Religion has been a very negative influence over all, but people fail to see what religion really did to us. Read the argument and don't let your religious belief influence your vote. 1) Prosecution and Religious Wars. A lot of people have been persecuted for their religious belief, millions died this way, and no matter how you color it, that has a negative outcome on the world. The Crusades destroyed historic...
