Should we aboliish the death penalty?
I believe that once you have been committed to the decision of doing things that resulted in killing of another person, then your life is not of greater value of the one that you have killed. Us, Americans are giving these murders the oppurtunities to be brought into this world yet again and who says that they their actions won't remain the same as before. And yet we are paying for them to have a full entertainment system as they sit in the jail system soaking up our tax money. And when they get...
Hacktivism does more good than harm
RESOLVED: Computer hacktivism does more good than harm. Before I present our main arguments I'd like to provide a proper framework for today's debate. DEFINITION: Hacktivism First, it's crucial that I will define the most important term in today's topic, "hacktivism." Hacktivism is a combination of the words "hack" and "activism," however, it is extremely important to remember that the word "hacktivism" is different in both meaning and spirit than the word "hack/hacking." Voters, please do...

Mahmoud Ahmedinijad is not wrong to not listen to the U.S.'s request that they stop making nukes
I am in no way endorsing Mahmoud Ahmedinijad. He is a horrible extremist, and he is a very hateful person. However, I have no problem with his nuclear weapons program. Let me clarify. I am against every nuclear weapons program in the world. I hate nukes, however, I don't hate Ahmedinijad's program any more or less than the rest, which brings me to my first point. If you and your friend were both smokers, and neither of you were trying to quit, what would you think if your friend told you to q...
