River Rafting Should Not Be Regulated

Phil
Nate

The wild rivers of the USA belong to the people, not to environmental advocates or park rangers. If a group of people want to raft down one of America's rivers, they should not be required to get a permit. Common sense, general safety rules, and environmental care should be used instead....

Are NASCAR drivers athletes?

MichaelJ

Yes NASCAR drivers are althletes. I am a strong supporter of NASCAR and belive that it is the best sport on earth. So, these guys are athletes. In a course of a 3 hour race, they can lose 10 or more pounds. How much weight do football players lose in 1 game? Also, the drivers must have very fast reflecise, because they are goin 150 mph and must make sharp turns to avoid wrecks, that could kill them. Also, NASCAR has has multible driver deaths during races, including the best driver ever, Dale Ea...

Peyton has 2 regular season MVP's and Brady has none. Although Brady is, i'll admit, playing amazing football now, over their careers, Peyton is an overall better quarterback. Also, Peyton currently still holds the record for most touchdowns in a season,and his team didn't have to run up the score for him to acheive this record....

I personally am an avid fan of the sport paintball, and upset at attempts to stop this sport, which builds character, teamwork, and both physical, and mental strength, I would like to debate someone who is familiar with the sport. 1-Paintball builds many skills which can be used later in life. Paintball is a sport which builds skills such as teamwork, stealth, respect, physical, and mental strength, awareness, and social skills, because the game is often played with people you don't know....

The Patriots are underachieving in the second half of the season.

crronaldo180
Conspicuous_Conservative

The Patriots have been huge favorites in most if not all of the games they have played this season. The beginning of the year they came out on fire, but they are starting to lose their dominant edge. They have been 30 to 40 point favorites in most of their games, and in almost all of them they have just barely managed to pull them out....

Falcon Punch is the greatest move ever.

FlaconPunch
Falcon_Kick

Since the beginning, Falcon Punch has been the best move to use. Its slow, but powerful attack is sure to knock all of your opponents off the map with one swift blow. Sure, one may say that this move is slow and almost a nuisance; however, any well timed Falcon Punch is sure to leave your opponent dumbfounded. Overall reasons why Falcon Punch is the best: 1) Powerful 2) Its the B move, which means Kirby can use it as well 3) It can be used in any situation, no matter how small or large the...
