Marijuana Should NOT Be Legalized
The legalization of marijuana, either for medical purposes or otherwise, is entirely unjustifiable. Marijuana only suits one significant purpose, other than the feel good effects of use, and that is as a pain killer "medication." This is reason enough for advocates in favor of legalization to use as justification for the legalization for medical purposes, at least. I view this argument as more of an excuse for legalization than a legitimate concern. Marijuana isn't the only pain killer on the ma...
Late term abortion is morally correct in every situation
I stand in firm negation of the resolution. As my opponent is affirmative, the burden of proof lies on him/her. I will allow my opponent to speak first. To clarify the debate I offer the following definitions: Late term abortion-Also called voluntary abortion. the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy, done in the late stages of pregnancy. Moral-of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right...
People with AIDS should be shot into the space.
First, I'd like to ask that people vote off of better argumentation, rather than what they personally believe think, even if the PRO seems a bit totalitarian. AIDS is a big epidemic, yet we still have no cure. So, what is the best way to eliminate the disease? Complete eradication. Contentions: 1.) By shooting people with AIDS into the space, we will almost completely get rid off the disease. Of course, it will still lurk in the dark corners and such, but for the most part, people will no...
Circumsicion is necessary and ethical.
I believe that circumcision is genital mutilation. It has been shown that it is an effective way to prevent certain diseases, but proper hygiene is just as effective. So this then leads me to ask why take away a male's foreskin before he is even allowed to make the decision himself? He will never know what it was like to have those nerve endings, never know what it's like to have a non-mutilated penis. Circumcision on males does not create impotence, so what is the matter with having a few le...
Pro-Life, The only way to ensure innocent lives are not lost.
Gonovice, In this debate I wish to show you through facts that abortion is both wrong and should be illegal. While I understand this is a heated debate that causes many tempers to flare, I ask that you use facts to back up your opinions. Contrary to popular belief, many scientific text books and scientist claim that life begins at conception. The baby is not created in the womb but develop. Did you know all major organ systems are created within the first 3 weeks? We know that a heartbeat ca...
Pro-Choice
Pro-choice is defined as an ethical view that believes woman should be allowed complete control over their pregnancies and reproductive rights. Woman should be allowed the right to have control over their body's, and although many pro-life supporters considers a fetus to be a human life that is not so. If a legal abortion has taken place then the fetus is not considered a legal human life. In terms of religious ethics in Christianity the bible claims that a fetus is not equal to a life. The...

Abortion should be legalized.
Abortion should be legal, definitely. Ask a pro-lifer what their position represents - what is being a pro-lifer? They'll usually give you a definition of something along the lines of someone who believes that a fetus is a life, and the sanctity of life should not be compromised by legalizing a form of murder. Ask them further if they would take measures against death occurring. Would they, if they had the power, pass a legislation that would save more lives than not? If adhering to their positi...
Marijuana is good for you. Period
When I hear things about how marijuana contains more tar than a cigarette or that marijuana is a gateway drug because it takes aways special inhibitors in your brain that are supposed to instictivly make you not do drugs. Marijuana is an all natural plant and helps the body and mind.Researchs show that in study where the same chemical in marijauna was given to rats and it showed a rapid production of cells in the brain.As apposed to cocaine or other drugs off the "big list". Last but not...
Obese customers should pay more for flights.
With the rising price of gas and the growing costs of airfare, some airlines are starting to opt in programs that charge fees for passengers who are visibly over a certain weight. The reason for this is simple: 1) Obese customers cost more to insure. Those who are obese are more prone to high-altitudes medical situations, thus airline insurance for such scenarios go up. Since they currently don't charge insurance based on individual fliers, it seems unfair to charge everyone for the lifest...
