Working mothers cannot give decent upbringing to their children

Darkhan.Shakabayev

Hello everyone.
Nowadays, most of people, including working mothers, believe that the most important thing in their life is building a career. In my opinion mothers should stay at home and give to their children decent bringing. If they will not give good upbringing, they will not know which thing in our world is bad and which thing is good. Children start to smoke and drink alcohol, because they mothers work.

Marijuana Legalization

SuperPerfundo
Epicism

I think marijuana should be legalized. For the purposes of the debate, let's assume laws under legalization would make pot similar to alcohol (21 age limit, no driving under the influence, etc.) 1. Other substances Alcohol impairs you more, yet is legal. Cigarettes offer all of the same health concerns, but offer no significant benefit (high) and most cigarette smokers smoke more than marijuana users on a daily basis. Also, marijuana has been medically proven to be non-habit-forming, unlike...

It's time for New York to drop the "New"

jm_notguilty

I recently responded to an advert in a newspaper which read: SPECIAL OFFER New Vases Only £9.99 each Made in China However, when the vase was delivered I noticed that the glaze was tarnished and, suspicious, I used the Internet to research the markings on the vase's base and discovered, much to my dismay, that far from being "new" the vase was actually made in China during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and I, naturally, sent it back with a demand for a full refund. Okay, I hear you sa...

DDO Official Tournament 2: That prostitution should be legalised

larztheloser
lannan13

Hello and welcome to this first round debate for the DDO Official Tournament. Rules are as for all the debates in this tournament (including the fact that this is an acceptance round).

I doubt there will be serious definitional issues in this debate. The topic is not tied to any specific jurisdiction. Prostitution is exchanging some kind of sexual service for currency. Legalised means the government makes it legal to do it. It is presumed that prostitution is not currently legal....

Fights to the death similar to those once held in the Colloseum in Rome should be allowed

NotPurpleHaze
ExplodingNoob

These fights would differ from those held in Ancient Rome in the following ways: 1. All contestants would be contestants by choice. 2. They would be competing to win cash prizes. 3. There would be no unfair advantages betweed contestants. The weaponry and armour would be similar to those used by the Gladiators of Ancient Rome. I believe that these fights would benefit society in the following ways: 1. Those with nothing to lose might be tempted to take part rather than commiting the...

kenballer
Stephen_Hawkins

In this debate, make sure you include in your argument the following: 1. Show how there is a right to same sex marriage and how traditional marriage laws violate the equal protection clause. 2. Show how having gay marriage is more beneficial then banning it. 3. Show that gay marriage would benefit state interests. Also, you can cut and paste information from other debates you have been in to save your time, if you want. What is CIVIL marriage and the purpose of it: "Sexual unions o...
