Mafia Theory Debate: The inactive Rule is better to follow than the noob rule

TUF
Buddamoose

I will be arguing the inactive rule is theoretically a better rule to follow when leading lynches, than the noob rule.
I will briefly define in my own words, what each is. Also for clarification, these aren’t exactly rules per say, as they are not required for players to follow. They are more just Standard Operating Procedures that have been created by players and been labeled rules.

Inactive Rule: This is a procedure that is thought to be an effective...

Should Native American Mascots be Banned from sports teams?

niltiac
hcps-landrumce

Well, many believe that the Native American mascots are racist &/or offending. I, for one, am not native american but I duly believe it would be an honor to have a professional sports team representing your race/nationality. I understand the other side's opinion when many say that some logos or mascot names such as the logo for the Cleveland Indians logo or the term "redskin". However, just these small adjustments can be made without having to revoke the whole idea of having a Native American cu...

Year Round Schooling (With Medium-Length breaks periodically)

FuzzyDragon

Year-Round Schooling is a better alternative to Partial-Year Schooling.

More curriculum is covered because there is less time spent reviewing the learning lost over the three month summer vacation, and learning time can be creatively used to incorporate seasonal learning. (

Bungrumpy
Bullish

Many people of todays society seem to think that me keeping my poo after i've been to the toilet is wrong. I strongly disagree, it's something that I have created and If i want to keep it then I will certainly do so. I always walk the streets with poo in my pockets + in my hands. Ive actually had the police called on me one time, I was trying to buy a magazine, and i forgot to hide my poo, i almost placed a turd in his hand instead of money! oops! Getting back on track, I would love to debate...

courts have the responsibilty to create racially balanced schools.

nickyd247
Isaiah95

1)Negative assertion: In 1974 court ordered busing wasn"t the only strategy that could have desegregated Boston"s public schools. Other options would be to give other options and more choices. Where you live is your choice so schools aren"t segregated by law. These options would cause less violence. 2)Negative assertion: Students and society will not benefit from more children attending racially integrated schools. The surveys may not be right. This may only work in a poor community. Some...

There Are Good Secular Reasons to Disallow Same-Sex Marriage

Contradiction
HonestDiscussioner

HonestDiscussioner and I have agreed on terms. I will launch immediately into my opening statement.

~

The state regulates marriage for a reason. It dispenses benefits for a reason. Understanding what this reason is will tell us what criteria are and are not relevant to marriage, and thus whether any rights are being denied. If the state excludes same-sex couples from entering into legal marriages on the basis of criteria relevant to the public purpose of marri...
