In the Year 2012, the world will not end.
I affirm. Definitions: 2012: 12/21/12. Supposedly, that's when the world will end. Clarification: In the year 2012, the world wouldn't end. Contention 1: In the past people believed the world will end on a certain day. Well a vast majority of this didn't happen. For examples: 6/6/06 didn't happen. In the year of 2000 the world didn't end. So in the year 2012 the world will not end. Contention 2: We are using the Georgian Calendar. Only the Mayan Calendar says in 2012 the world wil...

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...

f you have participated or read any of these types of debates before, then this one should be no different.

Failed Nations are a bigger threat to the United States than Stable Nations
Con "America won the Cold War by protecting our strategic resources from the threat of foreign control. We must bring the same attitude to our trade relationship with China." – Jo Ann Emerson I agree with this quote by Jo Ann Emerson because it proves that Stable Nations are a large threat to the United States. Resolved: Failed Nations are a greater threat to the United States than Stable Nations. My partner and I disagree with the resolution because we feel that Stable Nations are a bigger th...
