Christian "only" debate- No christian can be against abortion but for the death penalty!
This is a debate for christians only because its content is directed toward a christian individual, although It really mirrors for everyone. My statement without sourving, merely opinion: You cannot be against Abortion but for the Death Penalty because they both entail in taking the life of a human being! The only difference is age. Like abortion you don't have the authority to decide someone's death, whether for your own selfish reason or for mere "convenience.". I am now restating why you must...
The Death Penalty should be abolished
I thank whoever accepts this challenge in advance; it's my first time debating on this website! The Pro in this debate will need to prove that Capital Punishment is overall detrimental to the United States' well-being. The Con will need to prove that the Death Penalty is beneficial to the United States' well-being. To clarify, by well-being I mean 'the state of being happy, healthy, or prosperous' (1). Round 1 will be for acceptance, Round 2 for opening arguments, Round 3 for rebutta...
The Death Penalty
In the year 1993 alone, over 18,000 people were arrested for murder in the United States. Yet, in the past twenty years, there have been less than 300 executions.

Although eighty percent of Americans still favor the death penalty, many are beginning to have second thoughts as the liberal establishment marches ahead...

The Death Penalty
To start, my initial position is that the death penalty is not justified ever. Justice is a form of rectification of a misdeed. Justice has its parameters however, such that in punishing a criminal, the people who enact said punishment do not become criminals themselves. Given that it is a universal and unilateral resolution of man that to kill is forbidden, I hold that even in the process of punishment, one must not kill another human being. If we think about the conditions under which...
Resolved: A just society ought not use the death penalty as a form of punishment.
Voting guideleines will be presented at the bottom. I will try to keep this under 2,000 characters so I can fit my speech in. Formatting will be similar to time, but 1 minute = 1,000 characters. Debaters will be expected to copy+paste speeches into MS Word and provide a word count at the bottom of the speech in order to veri...
