We should treat the obese like animals.

There I was, on the plane, when suddenly, a pizza-polishing fat bum moves his grossly overweight gluteus maximus over to the five seats next to me. He then lowers said body part down to all five of the empty seats next to me. He is still crunching on some fatty food and then says to me in a rather polite tone: "Wanacrisp?" (It's hard to decode Fatzonese) I stare at him as if he had just killed someone (he had, the flight attendant who was sitting next to me). I see this crisp-c...

When a guy gets kicked in the nuts, he doesn't want to experience it again because it hurts so much. When a women gives birth, after a few years, she wants to have a child again. Really women? Does it hurt that much? Then how come a lot of women have more than 1 child?...

AbnerGrimm

I call BS on your Christian faith, whatever you got I call BS. The idea is that I can credibly critique and provide sources that dismiss the reason you believe or even what you believe. Rules: One, you have to be stand up kind of person and not cowardly accept this challenge and then claim you are not really a Christian".do so and you forfeit. Two: This is a formal debate and not a debate aimed at making others feel good by pussyfooting around. While convincing the audience may be importa...

ClassicRobert
twocupcakes

In a recent forum, the concept of hate speech was discussed briefly, and it seems that we have differing opinions on the matter. For that reason, I would like to challenge twocupcakes to a debate on the resolution that "Hate Speech Should Be Made Illegal in America." Burden of proof will be shared. My opponent will have to show that hate speech should be made illegal, and I will have to show that it should not be illegal.

Rules:
First round acceptance

Valladarex
handywandy

This will be a debate on whether or not Deism is more reasonable than the revealed religion of Con's choice.
A revealed religion is a religion founded primarily on the revelations of God to humankind. These include Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and more.

The burden of proof will be on Con, as Con will be the one attempting to prove that their religion is true, and I will be negating their claims.

I will allow Co...

Were the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki morally justifiable?

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should not have happened as many children and people died. We were trying to prevent people from treating other people poorly, like the holocaust, when we are doing the same thing to other places....
