Texting is better than Instant Messaging

whoa0whoa
thethickgreyline

Texting is now IMing on the go. Simple, fast reliable and fun. It's done all around the world such as Philippines and Lebanon. Kids, Teens and Adults all use this form of communication. Im all for this because I love to text. I'd rather Text someone than talk on the comuter, and sit in one place for several hours. I can talk to more people through texting and continue conversations for hours and anywhere I go. Computers I like to use for watching videos on youtube or downloading new music. So...

Conspiracy II: September 11, 2001

JustCallMeTarzan
thisoneguy

The proposition on offer is that the events of September 11, 2001 were orchestrated actions perpetrated by the United States Government. Caveats: * Ignorance and stupid decisions are not evidence of conspiracy. * "Willful Ignorance" must be demonstrated to be part of a conspiracy (i.e. Rice's non-meeting a week before). * Facts about collapse rates, debris clouds, etc... must be backed up by both sides with math, not conjecture. * This debate is limited to WTC 1 & 2. ***************...

The all new Pak-a-Spak™ Rucksack will be a "must have" accessory for male commuters

brian_eggleston
leet4A1

Those of us who travel to work by train or metro will know all too well how difficult it is to get a seat in the rush hour and if a male commuter is fortunate enough to get a seat, social etiquette demands that he must give his seat up if he sees a lady standing. This inevitably means that a gentleman is never sat down for very long. But would his fellow passengers feel that he should relinquish his seat to a perfectly able-bodied woman if he was cradling a disabled toddler in his arms? No, o...

Missile Defense

InfraRedEd

I feel neither here nor there regarding the issue of Missile Defense, admittedly, but there haven't been a great deal of debates in the Challenge Section recently. Thus, I thought I'd start one up again regarding a topic I've tried to debate in the past, though never really got to finish. Stating the first argument, I'll assume the position of Pro. However, I wouldn't be opposed to debating this from the position of Con in the future. Nevertheless, I wish good luck to my future opponent, whomeve...

Given a strong enough computer, the game of chess can be solved so that one player can never lose.

mongoose
daboss

The game of chess is solvable. Given enough data, a player, either white or black, I don't know which, would always be able to win or draw, despite the millions of possible combinations on the board. This also applies to other similar non-luck strategy games, including checkers, Khet, and Chinese Chess. I will continue my argument after my opponent responds.

The Voyager by LG is the best phone by Verizon. It has an awsome touch screen and a full keyboard at the same time. You are able to get onto the internet and check mobile email aswell whenever you want. It has a 2.0 megapixel camera so it has very good quality whenever you want to take pictures. Also, you are able to take videos so whenever something important happens just record it with your phone. Please someone start a debate with this I would really appretiate it. :)...
