Resovled: Liberlism should not be allowed in the U.S
Liberalism is a political party that is against all american idealogy and is destroying america as a whole 1) It is making our country look lazy and ignorant for simply GIVING our citizens money without representation 2) It is against every thing that the founding father based the country off of 3) Liberalism will eventually ruin our country, further worsening the economy because you are spending money on people that don't benefit society. (the only exception is for people that have...
Alcoholics Anonymous is NOT a cult
More than 100,000 Americans die a year from alcohol (Vaillant, 435). AA is not a cult. Rather helps alcoholics to achieve sobriety so they live happy, useful lives. I would like to go ahead and thank my opponent for accepting this debate. I am looking forward to an intelligent debate, I do request only an opponent that has adequate time to spend on their responses and can respond in a timely fashion to join this debate. Oxford English Dictionary defined "cult" as: "Worship; reverential h...
Ubercharge > Kritzkreig
Hello, you can all call me Pogosama, and this will be my first debate on Debate.org. I'm looking forward to matching wits with the lot of you in due time. For now, however, we shall delve into the world of the cult classic Team Fortress 2, to debate a little weapon vs weapon. First, some clarification. The topic, when fully fleshed out, is that the Ubercharge is a more useful tool both offensively and defensively then the Kritzkreig. Also, I would prefer if we did not discuss strategy w...
There is no Reason to be "Good"
I am arguing that there is no ultimate reason behind morality like there is behind things of science. Thus, I am also assuming that there are no moral truths, or no a priori morality, so no guideline or ideal to which we might compare ourselves. So take note, I don't mean that there IS a reason to be BAD, I just titled the debate to imply a hopeless lack of morality in our world, or reason for morality, rather. "Good"--describing action or deliberation that is compassionate or done towards t...
The BNP (as constituted) should NOT be allowed to exist as a political party.
Hello and welcome to readers and to my esteemed opponent Volkov. It is a pleasure to be debating someone with such an excellent grasp of international politics and I hope that his depth of knowledge does not show me up too much in this debate! We agreed to this debate in the comments section of a debate instigated by my opponent (sadly sabotaged by a troll). http://www.debate.org/debates/The-BBC-Was-Wrong-To-Allow-Nick-Griffin-On-Question-Time/1/ This is a subject close to my heart as a Br...
No lynching is the best course of action on the first day of mafia games like the one described
I disagree. I believe no lynching to be quite foolish. Parameters (or rather the one described): To define what is meant by mafia games in general, lets use a vanilla mafia game as the ideal game. In this ideal game which I am describing, lets say there are 2 mafia goons, a mafia godfather( who is immune to investigations and nightkills), a mafia prostitute, 13 normal townies, a cop and a doctor. Let us also say that the game starts during the day phase Since I don't feel like typing out a...
Religion is, in general, beneficial for society
Hello LD style debate...
Evolution is a complete fabrication without a shred of evidence
I would first like to thank my opponent for accepting this debate, and the audience for their time and participation. This debate is a challenge to the member DATCMOTO who asserted in this thread: http://www.debate.org/forums/religion/topic/1796/5/ That "Evolution is a complete fabrication without a shred of evidence". I would assume that DATCMOTO is a man of his word and means what he says. If this is the case, then I would like to challenge this assertion. I personally believe that th...
Abortions are morally wrong.
I will be negating the resolution that abortions are morally wrong, and since most abortions occur in the first trimester this debate will only focus on abortions that take place during that time period. Moral philosophers, theologians, and medical practitioners have argued about the ethics behind abortion for quite some time. And many deeply ethical people have come to view abortion as being morally reprehensible. However, most of the arguments against abortion can be shown to be fallacious...
The God of Christianity is probably real.
I have made it my goal in this debate to demolish the intellectual and moral pretenses of the Christian religion. Of course this demolition will have to take a back seat to the resolution that awaits us. I consider Christianity to be a wicked, depraved, and intellectually bankrupt cult that consistently perpetuates blatant falsehoods and is responsible for outrageous amounts of needles suffering- even whilst it maintains an air of superciliousness. Two thousand years is far too long far any illu...
