Resolved: Free trade should be valued above protectionism
[Preliminary Note: Judge, the affirmative will be using factual paraphrases instead of quotes from cards; however, all cards used for the round will be available upon request at any time during cross-examination and preparation time, as well as after the round for verification of authenticity and legitimate paraphrase.] What is the alternative to the WTO? Some argue that the world's only superpower need not be tied down by the constraints of the multilateral system. They claim that US sovereign...

Stable governments are needed for successful countries. 4. Unions REALLY hurt companies, we don't want that for our go...

Unfortunately for my opponent, .999 is only an approximation of 1. Approximation is defined by the same source as "something that is approxim...
Anthropocentrism ought to be valued above biocentrism
[Again, like before, I will begin this debate using the LD debate format, all I ask is that whoever accepts my challenge does the same.] People… have invested a tremendous amount of effort and time to get to where they are. They really don't want to hear that we're on the wrong path, [or] that we've got to shift gears and start thinking differently. It is because I agree with Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki that I must negate the resolution: Resolved: Anthropocentrism ought to be value...
