I will let my opponent make his points first but the bombing of these cities was unneeded. The USA was to win the war anyway....

Fox News is not only Bias, but Deceitful

shwayze

deceitful: having a tendency or disposition to deceive: a: not honest, b: deceptive, misleading (http://www.merriam-webster.com/) I hope that whoever accepts this debate will accept the fact that Fox News is bias to the right-wing. This debate is not about MSNBC, CNN, ABC, ect. Fox is the network on trial here, and I wish to refrain from bringing in other networks to this discussion. This debate is only seeking an answer to the question "Is Fox News a deceitful source for 'news'?" To...

Abortion is compleatly utterly and totally wrong.

Loofa

Abortion is in no way right because its morally wrong I cannot see any reason for abortion ever. If someone doesn't want a kid they shouldn't get pregnant because taking a human life is just plain wrong. If you drown a pregnant woman it counts as a double murder so obiously a fetus is a person....

I think for the job that they do enlisted soldiers deserve more pay.

I am debating enlisted soldiers only because I do not know enough about officers and their pay scale. Also I am not debating that they signed up for it , so that is the pay they deserve. I do not think that enlisted soldiers get enough pay for the sacrifices they make. We need an army and we need soldiers. They protect our country. Soldiers must follow all orders no matter what. Soldiers have to miss holidays, bdays, births of their children, anniversaries, graduations, weddings, etc. They have...

Ther Border Fence between the USA and Mexico is a bad idea

crazypenguin
NonZeroBubble

Thank you for joining this debate, First I would like to state my oppening arguments. There shouldn't be a border fence in between Mexico and the USA because not only does it seem very inconsiderate by showing that we have to block out a country and isolate ourselves and Mexico but also why do we need a big fence showing that we don't want anyone in our country from Mexico. Second why do we have to create hostillity between two nations who work well together. By building this fence not...

Fox news

Fox news is the most biased, manipulative and corrupted news channel out there. Matter in fact, FNC has such a bad reputation that even FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting) and Media Matters has deemed them to be the most biased name in news. http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1067 The president of the FNC is none other than Roger Ailes who severed as a political consultant for man republican candidates during the 1960's, 70's, and 80's including Richard M. Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. Roger...

Terrorism is a serious threat to the US

Following the tragic demise of 3000 New Yorkers on September 11th, the United States was scared. In attempts to repel futrue attacks they issued a declaration of war on "Terror" and started invading a country that was harbouring The Foundation's masterminds. Who could blame them for that country had just spat in America's face by refusing to cooperate in cathcing the men repsonsible? But for some reason they did not stop it at that. That presidential election one of the major media campaigns...

The US Patriot Act is necessary for the safety of America.

The Protect America Act modernized the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to provide our intelligence community essential tools to acquire important information about terrorists who want to harm America. The Act, which passed with bipartisan support in the House and Senate and was signed into law by President Bush on August 5, 2007, restores FISA to its original focus of protecting the rights of persons in the United States, while not acting as an obstacle to gathering foreign intellig...

Stopping Illegal Immigration

mostatebears17
philosopherpirate

In America right now there are aproximately 12 million illegal immigrants. Now my posistion on this topic is that there should be some sort of military force guarding our borders rather than a bunch of volunteers called the Border Patrol. If we had some National Guard troops or active Army troops on the border Illegal Immigration will almost drop to zero. Our Boder Patrol is tired, civilians, and they just can't get the job done with the limited resources they have. T.J. Bonner of the Nation...
