Military force is an appropriate weapon for the US to use against enemies that may develop nukes
The United States frequently uses military force to prevent any possible future conflicts. However, rarely is the soft-power technique used before resorting to military force. I stand that soft-power is much more useful and progressive than resorting directly to brute force. Also, because nukes are becoming the weapon of choice in the world today, I believe that soft-power will prevent the accidental firing of nuclear weapons, essentially ending the world as we know it. The only solution to nati...
Censorship is alive and well on debate.org.
While this site may purport to support controversy and discussion of relevant social issues, and total trivia in some cases such as who's cuter than who or which comic book character is tougher, when pressed it is just as capable of bias and cowardice as any other privately owned expression media. http://www.debate.org/debates/Just-because-you-are-so-cute-You-are-a-terrorist./1 ...was removed because of a heated debate that developed on the nature of the typical American mating paradigm o...

Abortion cannot be justified logically.
My original intention was to find NARAL's official justification of abortion. Strangely enough, their website does not contain one. The only one I found was "a woman's right to choose". Therefore, I will focus on this idea of a woman's right to choose as justification for abortion, along with any other justifications that I can recall having heard. I think we would all agree that we have the right to choose. However, does that right to choose translate over into a right to do whatever one wan...

The US Government shall lower the drinking age requirement to 19.
It is true you can do many things under the age of nineteen, such as drive a car at age sixteen, buy cigarettes at eighteen, and sign up for the US Military, in which you can die for your Country, also at the age of eighteen. So you can be held accountable to drive a machine with potentially deadly repercussions, you can be given the choice of ruining your body with cigarettes, and you can go fight in a war, and in most cases kill an enemy - who chances are, had the legal ability to drink. These...
We are all racists
Hey you! Yes you - reading this. You are a racist! Oh, yes you are, and if you don't like being called a racist, sue me and I'll take you for every penny you've got (provided I win this debate which will form part of my legal argument, so please vote for me folks otherwise I'll be bankrupted). You see, it doesn't matter from which ethnic group you originate or how politically correct you like to think you are, the fact is, each and every one of us is a racist. To illustrate my point, pleas...
It's time to crackdown on Lesbian impostors
In preparation for this debate I conducted a thorough study of the "Lesbian Scene" in London and as a result of my tireless research have uncovered the shocking truth that few, if any, of the many Lesbian bars and clubs in the capital actually sell Lesbian food or drinks - or even employ staff from the Greek island of Lesbos. Indeed, so anxious were the management of these bogus "Lesbian" establishments to cover up their scams, many of them refused me entrance when I asked if I could go in an...
Abortion is wrong
Hello. The resolution is, "Abortion is wrong." I will present the affirmative (pro), and my opponent will present the negative (con). first, I would like to define "abortion": abortion- the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy; any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy. next, I would like to define "wrong": wrong- not in accordance with what is morally right or good; not correct in action, judgment, opinion, method, etc. both...
Gay Marrige
Our current religious systems and majority religions tend to be very much against same sex relationships. These as a general rule teach against it and call it many things, unnatural, sin, and sometimes try to break people of the habit so to speak. While all of this is accepted belief it is not necessarily correct. Marriage is a social institution that brings many privileges, not least of which is the financial aspect. The governments of most countries offer tax breaks to married couples, as...
