Burning the Flag of the United States of America Should Be Legal.
As you should well know, the flag of America is the good 'ole red, white and blue. As a symbol of our nation, I contend that the burning of it in any way for whatever reason - as long as it doesn't physically harm another individual like burning people's houses down - should be legal. My argument in favor of this is that freedom of speech and expression allows us to burn the flag for reasons such as protest. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America reads as...

Democracy without constraint eventually leads to more socialism. We are well on our way.
Since a literal interpretation of the constitution has gone out the window, there is no concrete protection against the have-nots (or work-nots as I call them) voting in large numbers to confiscate property from its rightful owners and redistibute it in the name of public welfare. As the spoils(welfare, free healthcare, government housing, etc.) from voting democrat (or even republican these days) become more apparent, more and more will be tempted to try and vote their way to prosperity rather...
Smart men prefer to marry/date smart women than dumb women.
Media, news have given us an impression that men have little problem "marrying/dating down": seeking out wives/girlfriends who are less intelligent and financially dependent yet adoring. So what happens when more and more women themselves become wealthy, educated and ambitious? When single successful women in their 20s and 30s meet for dinner and between classes to talk about love and relationship, they frequently ask themselves: Are men intimidated by smart women? Is he going to break up wi...
Dating in workplace
I have always been against office romance. I don't think it is wise to date in workplace, although I have seen people done that. We all know single people who spend most of their waking hours at work and it would be a dream come true for them to find love on the job as opposed to dealing with blind dates or even online matchmaking. But the downside is daunting: Those kisses by the copier can cost you your paycheck. Let's see how the rest of you think about this.:P...
Homosexuality is natural.
+++ Homosexuality is natural. It is not a choice. Nobody would choose homosexuality if it was a choice. Homosexuality is a natural occurence in animals and in environments without contact from other societies.

Do Christians have the right to decide whether homosexuals can marry or not?
I am not a Christian. I am a lesbian. I do not agree that anyone has the right to tell me who I can love and marry. I don't tell people they can't be with someone because their race or belief. I may think they shouldn't but its not my place. I realize that Christianity played a big part in the creation of this country but does that mean their beliefs supersede any others in this country which now is home to a myriad of beliefs and ways of life. Throughout history Christianity has bullied peo...
Gay Marriage should be legal in the USA
Good morning/night First I will state my opening arguments, Gay Marriage should be legal in the USA because why should we restrict people from leading a lifestyle that they wish to? If that is what they want to do with their life let them, it is not some big crime that they are commiting. Also if people have freedom of speech, press, assembly, religion and petition why can't they have freedom of marriage. Theoretically gay marriage could be put under freedom of religion so why not just let...
Resolved: Opposites rarely attract and discourage romantic relationships for the most part.
Throughout life, you're bound to run into someone who'll claim that opposites attract. Enlightening as it may seem at the time you hear it, it is simply a phrase which the real world hardly supports. In today's round, the job of the affirmative side will be to prove the previous statement beyond the notion of a doubt. First, I'd like to cite a study provided by BBC news during the year of 2003: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3031396.stm. This source was conducted mostly through means of de...
