In reality, is .999 repeating actually equal to 1?
Hello everyone. I have been searching through the website's old debates and I had come upon multiple interesting mathematical debates covering this topic. However, they are long gone and the one I looked through had bad grammar, spelling, and behavior. Thus, I would like to redo this debate with a hopefully better behaved person. Thank you in advance for whoever accepts this debate, and I hope that you enjoy it. Please be aware that when I state a decimal with three numbers following...

Candy should be used as a reward for students
First i would like to thank the judges and the pro for doing this debate... First i would like to introduce my points I. Bribes a. Some child development experts also describe rewards and incentives for good behavior as bribes. Dr. Martin E. Ford of Stanford University does not believe parents should offer rewards when a child behaves, "In the short-run, bribes produce a high degree of effort from children, but they can have negative long-term consequences."

Conscientious objectors should be obliged to make the same sacrifices as conscripted soldiers
The leader of one nation to another: "You should, like, chill out, man. Instead of invading my country, why not light an ethically-sourced soy-wax scented candle, make a nice cup of organic Fairtrade jasmine tea and attain inner peace through holistic meditation? Because killing people is like wrong, you know, and war is like really bad and that." I think we can all sympathise with the appeal from a pacifist head of state to an evil, psychopathic tyrant to stop his warmongering ways and get i...
