Gay Marraige Should Be Allowed.
Gays should be allowed to marry partners of their choice just as heterosexual couples do. It is ignorant in today's world to deny such a basic right to an individual because of something that is innate. Yes, sexuality is not a choice, it is innate. For my first point, let me state that a civil union is not a reasonable compromise for a legal marriage. Most civil unions don't have the same rights as a legal marriage has. Even if we made all civil unions exactly equal to legal marriage but cal...
Newly revealed natural scientific laws govern the morality of abortion
Thank you for accepting this important debate. The law debated here could alter the way people think about abortion. This debate will test a newly revealed natural scientific law that partially governs the impact that abortion has on society. If this law is valid, then the generally accepted conclusions of the pro life movement will need revision or become invalid. Natural laws are self evident once brought to light and backed up with theory. Natural laws are not invented, they are reveale...
Grammar makes little difference to a phrase's meaning and clarity
I will be arguing pro, that correct grammar and spelling make little difference to a phrase's coherency. I will take the burden of proof in this debate. Definitions: 1) Little - Small in size, amount, or degree (often used to convey an appealing diminutiveness or express an affectionate or condescending attitude). <--- in this case its definition will be that of its degree usage. 2) Meaning - What is meant by something. 3) Clarity - The quality of being clear, in particular. The quali...

Official Debate Tournament: Badger is a Retard/Troll
Since he cannot formulate a resolution, I am left to conclude that badger is a mental retard or troll.
My burden in this debate is to prove that badger regularly engages in (intentionally) incoherant and moronic behavi...

Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.
Why should Mufasa shave his head? 1. His huge hair is a breeding ground for bacteria. It is impossible for him to thoroughly wash his hair because he has never learned strategy from teaching figures. A strategy does not start out perfect. Parents generally do not shower with their children, so strategies were invented and never corrected. And think about it...how can such a huge mass be washed? Generally, boys don't care that much about their hygiene. They neglect to do certain things tha...
Gay Marriage Should Be Legalized.
Gay Marriage should be a legal form of marriage for the simple fact that disallowing LGBT groups to marrying is taking a right that should be theirs. I'll let you go first, as I am contending that there are no substantial legal reasons to disallow same-sex marriage, and thus it should be a right for any LGBT couple to marry....
