Morality does not exist
Morality does not actually exist it is simply peoples opinions and biological instincts. We can not truly say then that a person is immoral even murderers. Morality is subjective not objective. There is no evidence that one must not murder another purpose. I am not claiming that we shouldn't follow moral or ethical codes but we must remember that it is a subjective phenomena brought about by instinct and culture....
Are there Actually Rules of War?
Greetings to my opponent. :D Good luck, have fun and keep it clean. This argument regards the controversies of war. We see many atrocities occur, and the question is asked, do rules of war actually exist? In this debate, I am going to make a case that conventional soldiers and armies do generally fight according to the rules. The 'rules of war' do exist, whether or not they are actually written or merely an unspoken agreement. Though they may not be followed often, especially in the unconv...

Students going barefoot to school as a school rule would a good idea.

For an example, students can't wear any footwear like shoes, socks, and sandals on campus for any reason so a student must go barefoot at the start of the school hours until the end of school hours, even if it rains o...
Evolution is a scientific fact.
First we must get a few things straight: Evolution is referred to in its most common and general sense which refers to macro evolution: the theory that all life originated from a single celled organism. Scientific Fact: The scientific method has been used to prove conclusively each aspect of the theory individually. Finally, the Con asserts that evolution as defined above is not by any measure a scientific fact. The fact is that only a few individual aspects of the theory have been sci...

Profit within Capitalism is a result of the exploitation of the workers
I've been discussing this issue of the theory of profit lately, particularly with proponents of the Austrian School of Economics and I'm interested in having an actual debate on this subject. Particularly I'd like to see an consistent explanation of the profit within Capitalism that can avoid the exploitation problem, that is, the fact that the wage-worker retains less than he creates while the rest goes to the Capitalist. To be upfront about this: I am also currently in an ongoing debate on...
