This is, in a way a troll debate. I will be arguing in favor that china will be taking over the world in the near future. You will be arguing against this. I do not actually believe China will take over the world, this is merely for the sake of entertainment, and arguing....

Round 1 for acceptance. This is a troll debate. I do not actually believe the resolution. I am merely saying it for the sake of argument, and entertainment. <>Profanity allowed You will be arguing that people SHOULD be allowed to have names longer than 4 characters. VOTING CATEGORY'S "SOURCES", "AGREED WITH BEFORE", AND "AGREED WITH AFTER" ARE TO BE CHANGED TO *HILARITY POINTS*. BASICALLY THOSE POINTS GO TO WHOEVER WAS THE FUNNIEST....

Teaching Creationism (Theory of a Young Earth) Should Be Prohibited in Public & Private Schools

This is a two faceted debate in which I will defend the ideology, not the implementation (so as to avoid empirical debate), of a ban on teaching the theory of creationism in both the public school systems and private school systems when it is the primary education source. I.E. A private school which fulfills the state-imposed obligation of attending school, cannot teach creationism. However, one that does not or is not intended to fulfill the obligation (Sunday school or after-school tutoring) c...

There are many cases where people debate on this topic on how "humane" it is, but I want to talk more about effectiveness. I'd be glad to challenge anyone to this debate....

God Exists

My opponent must show that Theism is more reasonable than Atheism, and I must show that Atheism is more reasonable than Theism (By "Atheism" I mean "Strong Atheism"). Thus, the burden of proof will be shared.

The God we will be discussing is the God of Classical Theism. I take it on faith that my opponent will not hold me to the position that I must defend the notion that "nature" does not exist (Spinoza's God for example). No semantics. If one accepts this debate, then we both k...

School uniforms should be required

f3ffy

Clothing is one of the best ways for kids to express themselves, and with guidlines and rules, students are able to be themselves without being distracting. It's not fair limiting kid's closet because of uncomfortable uniforms, which could actually hurt one's education, because it may not be comfortable enough for the student to be able to pay attention. Uniforms are too strict.
