... one of the best tournaments ever. Obama said that he will join this tournament again in the future. However, I have been debated on this subject before. Not a lot of people agree with me that Obama does in fact say that this is the best tournament ever....

I will not contradict myself on matters of politics, accepting this the Con accepts only political contradictions qualify, as such no semantics can be played such as interchangeably using Libertarian and libertarian, however claiming to be one and then contradicting that by claim very un-libertarianistic claims(such as supporting drug war AND nationalized healthcare)...

if a healthy infant can be saved instead of aborted later in pregnancy... it should be requried

dairygirl4u2c
Stephen_Hawkins

in cases where mother's life is at risk, but the healthy baby can be safely removed instead of aborted... this should be required. after six months or so, abortion in the US is restricted to only cases involving health of the mother. (to be sure, this includes much abuse for 'mental health' etc) if even a healthy baby MUST be aborted to save the mother, msot would agree it's the right thing to do. to be sure, however.... healthy babies are too often aborted in the name of saving the mother,...

High-speed rail should receive federal government subsidy in-place of current subsidies on highways

ConservativePolitico

My belief is that federal government subsidies on high-speed rail would benefit the United States greater than the continual subsidy of the current highway system. The first round is acceptance, the second is stating your argument, third round attempt to dispute claims made by the opponent in second round. I lowered the max number of characters to keep arguments concise. I look forward to a good debate, good luck....

War on Terror

8,000 characters Time to argue - 72 hours

Resolved: The positive impact of the war on terror on the United States outweighs the negative impact of the war on terror on the United States.

I will be arguing against this resolution, or that the United States receives more of a negative impact from the war on terror than a positive one.

First round for acceptance. No semantics or trolling please.

Forfeited rounds = Lose the debate

Pick your own issue.

shift4101

Basically the idea is look at my profiles issues list and pick a issue you want to debate me on. State the issue your position and either make your arguments or let me make mine first. However Due to the fact that I am currently in two debates about the border fence/immigration I will not accept debating anyone else about the border fence/immigration. Have fun....

Many of the Srilanka Tamil People Who Temporarily got Settled in Various Country During their Own Country Problem are still in trouble. The Reason for stating that, it is their own country problem, is the Tamils fought for their regal rights are living that land for generations together. After hundreds of year, the Tamils in Srilanka in their own land, where discriminated by the Rulers. In the beginning the Tamil raised their voice in Gandhian Way only. But due to so many reasons and others infl...

Employers Using Criminal Records as Background Checks

It is hard enough in today's world to live without having one indiscretion you had at the ripe old age of let's say twenty years follow you and hunt you down. After you've committed your CHUMP crime, a Driving While Impaired, Possession of a Controlled Substance (namely marijuana), Drinking Under Age, and an array of other NON-VIOLENT crimes, you grow up. As a part of the "grown up" experience you consider that you need a job...you begin filling out online applications, you walk into the variety...

The United States ought to submit to the jurisdiction of an international court designed to prosecut

behairry2981
Metz

I affirm the resolution resolved: The United States ought to submit to the jurisdiction of an international court designed to prosecute crimes against humanity. Now some definitions: Webster-dictionary defines ought as: to be bound in duty or by moral obligation. Merriam-Webster defines to submit as: to yield oneself to the authority or will of another. The term crimes against humanity has come to mean anything atrocious committed on a large scale. This is not, however, the original meanin...
