It's time to crackdown on cashpoint cripples.
First of all, a word of explanation for North American members – a "cashpoint cripple" is a cretin who parks their car illegally in order to use a nearby ATM because they are too damn lazy to walk a few yards. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/cashpoint?view=uk In America, they have got drive-thru cashpoints for really lazy people, but here in Britain, there are no such things. However, we do have more than our fair share of incredibly indolent slobs who don't care if they cause a traff...
The pen is mightier than the sword.
I'll allow my opponent to go first....
Marriage is a Civil Right.
This is what I really meant to say. : ) In order to determine whether anything rises to the level of a civil right, you have to start by looking how a civil right is defined and who decides whether it meets that definition. The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights defines a civil right as, "one that derives from the inherent dignity of the human person." Black's Law Dictionary further states that civil rights confer protections that apply equally to everyone....
Tabula Rasa and Jungian archetypes can be intertwined into a single idea.
Through some pondering, I have proposed an idea that intertwines and makes both Tabula Rasa and the Jungian archetypes correct, to an extent. Since there is little 'hard' evidence towards this discussion, the debate will be purely based on the perceptions of my opponent and I towards Philosophy, Psychology, and Logic. I will admit that I am not an expert in Analytical Psychology or Theoretical Psychology (both Jung's fields), though I am very much interested in these. Back to my hypothesis. I be...

NEGATIVE I negate: In a democratic society, felons ought to retain the right to vote For the sake of clarity, I would like to define some key terms: (1) Democracy: a government by the people in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by their elected officials (2) Felon: a person convicted of a serious criminal offense punishable by imprisonment exceeding one year I offer the following observations of the resolution: (1) Because America is a democracy, a soc...

a crazy idea ??
I thought of this idea for a debate , as crazy as it may seem I thought why not have a debate on to see who can come up with the best quotes every round . Its just an idea ... I thought each person could post a quote from a famous or not so famous person every round , or anybody there's no arguing about the quote , its simple the winner is there person who the people decide have the best quotes . Its shows your taste and what sort of person you are. I am going to start it up and would really be...

I will not break a rule.
0. By accepting this debate, my opponent agrees to all the rulse already posted. This debate poses off of another debate that was quite comical to me. 1. Rules created hold power over all rules posted later, and no later rule can contradict an earlier rule. 2. Both players should still have the ability to post rules in their turn. 3. A violation of a rule that is not null and void will result in the rule-breaker losing this debate. 4. A player may only do something besides make rule...
