The drink-driving (DUI) laws aren't broke so there's no need to fix them
The British government is proposing to lower the drink-driving (DUI) limit from 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood to 50mg in order to prevent up to 65 deaths a year. (1) Now nobody would say that lives of 65 people are insignificant, but let's put this into context – every year a total of 460 people a year die as the result of drink-driving incidents while 30,000 people a year die as the result of being obese. (2) So, are the government planning any punitive measures to save the lives of...

The Octuplets' Mother
I am sure that you all have heard of Nadya Suleman. The mother of octuplets as well as 6 other kids. This is a debate on the mother's decision to have these 8 children. Is this ethical? She already had 6 children living in the home shared with her parents, a small 3 bedroom home. Suleman chose, with the knowledge that she would need government assistance in order to care for their lives, to have embryos artifically placed into her. Artifical fertilization. Such large births can result tragically...
This House Would Recognize 'The Pirate Bay' As Wrongly Convicted.
In case you have not heard the news; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/business/global/18pirate.html Today we find ourselves at a crossroads, both marred by fog, spooky trees and werewolves and whatnot. One road involves criminalizing file sharing and persecuting everybody who participates in it, leading to never ending witch hunt. The other path would be that of legalization. It would be a path in which we work with the entertainment industry to find a new way in which they may remain compe...
The police officers weren't justified in thier crowd control tactics at the rainbow gathering july 3
In July of this summer, during the annual rainbow gathering, law enforcement officers aggressively entered kid village to arrest someone. When a lady asked the officers to take their guns out of kid village, they violently detained her as well. Looking to instigate a riot, they prematurely began firing rubber bullets, pepper spray balls, and using tazers on the gatherers. People had welts all over their body from the close range barrage of pepper spray balls. They randomly shot with no discr...

There is a conspiracy to ethnically cleanse white people in Europe, America and Australia
- White majority societies are constantly told by mass media that their replacement by "multi-cultural" societies is needed for economical success (yet, since the start of multi-culturalism, the public debt has actually balooned in most white majority countries) - They are told that opposing their replacement is a psychological disease called RACISM. White advocates are demonized. The same media glorify african, jewish or muslim ethnic identities. The target seems to be white identity only...
Kim Jong-il was a fine leader to the people of North Korea.
Looking at the reactions of the people of North Korea, it is curious to know how well his leadership was.

Good luck to anyone who takes this debate....
Gay Marriage should be legal everywhere
Traditionally in this country, marriage has been defined as a religious & legal commitment between a man and woman, as well as the ultimate expression of love. Homosexual relationships are increasingly gaining acceptance in this country; however, these couples have not been permitted to marry. Some states have considered a new form of commitment called a "civil union", which essentially is marriage without using the word "marriage". Many politicians have said they are against gay marriage but th...
