Many people on this site know about me and Danielle's same-sex parenting debate, in which she won by a large margin and I accused her of using dishonest arguments (lawyering, strawmen, etc) in order to gain victory.

The fat should be made to buy two seats on planes

I was involved in a rather unpleasant incident on a British Airways flight from Aberdeen to Heathrow recently. (1) The aircraft was an Airbus A319 with a single economy (coach) class cabin which was fitted with seats with a width of 17.0" (2) and the aisle seat I was allocated was located next to a grossly overweight gentleman, whose considerable girth was overflowing onto my seat, thus preventing me from putting the armrest down or fastening my seatbelt. I therefore challenged the man and here...

Using a time machine to go back and kill Hitler would be a bad idea.

I thank my opponent for the chance to debate. My opponent may not argue from semantics, as it is clear what the resolution states, although an exception may be made if he/she comes up with a particularly interesting objection to the resolution. Firstly, an argument against the viability of time travel itself; -- The Classic Paradox -- First, imagine time travel were made possible, and somebody travels back in time in order to meet their grandfather, whom they never knew. Now, say that...

Solarman1969 refuses to debate me because he knows he can't win

rwebberc
Solarman1969

First off, I would like clarify what I mean by "win". Obviously, when Solarman takes up a debate, he knows he's generally not going to win the vote because of his far right wing points of view. However, he does seem to take some sort of satisfaction in finding opponents who don't know how to deal with his belligerence or who provide relatively weak arguments. I have debated Solarman in the past, and instead of responding to his personal attacks, I took his arguments at face value. I responded wi...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am for the motion that this debate will not end in a tie. As a matter of fact, this debate will not end at all, assuming the the voting period is indefinite. Let us take an example. Say at a certain time there is a tie. However, the opposition is arguing that there will be a tie, so he is right. If he is right, then there is no tie. ARGUE THAT!!! thank you...

Runescape is better than World of Warcraft

DeadLeaves93

Runescape is way better than World of Warcraft. It's cheaper a lot more features and things to do. Sure world of warcraft has extra things runescape doesn't have such as things like not losing items when you die. But spending $20 a month for a game? Outrageous. For a cheap $5 a month you can get a much better game with a lot more features and stuff to do. Runescape is better than World of Warcraft. Runescape only costs $60 a year. World of Warcraft costs $240 a year! You do the math. Overall. R...

Woman are equal to men

Smarticles

Woman are equal to men. They just don't do the same things. Men are better than woman at some things, and woman are better than men at some things. I do not understand guys who think men are dominant. How can they?...

The U.S. economy is a fraud based on the Federal Reserve System of fiat money and legal-tender laws.

clsmooth
Nate

Virtually every transaction that takes place in the United States involves the exchange of goods or services for U.S. dollars, which, in reality, are "Federal Reserve Notes" (just check your currency). Where do these Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs) come from? Few of us ever stop to ask. The answer is: debt. When you deposit $100 in the bank, your bank may lend $90 of it, even though you can come back and claim your full $100 at any time. When someone borrows $90 from your bank and takes the chec...
