George Bush Was a Good President
I would like to open up my argument by saying that I believe that President George W. Bush did a great job as president and does not deserve all of the criticism he received when he left office. I will support this statement by using these arguments: a) Bush reacted to the best of his ability in the 9/11 situation. He worked fast and efficiently under enormous amounts of pressure. b) He always did what he thought was right. Bush did not cave into the demands of Congress and the people, he...
The Appearance of Rifles is their Most Dangerous Aspect.
The position I will be defending is that not only technical and mechanical features of rifles merit consideration for their classification, but also their appearances. Hunting rifles are excluded from the debate. Debating this topic will help people decide what guns should fall under the assault rifle category. Good luck!...
Ultimate Team War
This is the Ultimate World Domination Team Battle. Each debater must assemble a team of five people, and the teams will then have a battle. Since we cannot have an actual real-life battle, each debater will explain why their team is superior during this debate. DEFINITIONS Team leader: One of the debaters here, i.e. me and whoever accepts the debate. Team member: One of the five chosen warriors. RULES 1. Battles take place in a neutral location in the real world. The environment may not...
We Should Have Stricter Gun Control
This debate will cover whether or not we should have stricter gun control. For the first round, we will set up the perimeters and definitions. We should not have arguments/points/etc. in the first round, only introductions. From the second round onwards, we shall flesh out our arguments. Gun control would be considered as how easy it is to attain guns (meaning eligibility and sales), how strict the regulation on concealed weapons is, and how much power our government should have in terms of r...
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...
The (U.S.) Constitutionality of Legalized Abortions on Demand
NOTE: You must be over the age of 27 to accept my challenge for this debate! Having read some of the previous debates on the abortion issues (found in archives of this site), I am somewhat reluctant to issue the following challenge. However, it is my opinion that the issue of 'human rights' is an issue that actually WARRANTS repeated examinations, the searches for and the proving of facts, and even the seemingly endless debates that will likely go on long after this exchange has ended....
A Triune Godhead is more likely revealed by the Bible than a single God entity
Argumentation will start in round two. Please just accept and clarify in round 1. I will start my positive argument in round two. Round one will be definition and acceptance only. Triune Godhead = One God in Essence, Three Persons in Corporate Unity. Single God Entity = Only the Father is God both in Person and Essence. The Bible will be both the Protestant and Catholic Bible. Con will work to reaveal a single God. Pro will work to reveal a Triune God. A non-Christian or non-ortho...
If one is both homeless and unemployable, one should rob a bank.
Thanks to whoever accepts this debate. I will make this round no longer than it needs to be by providing some simple points, then drawing a conclusion from them. 1. Being homeless would suck compared to being rich. This is pretty obvious. Eating garbage vs. eating whatever you want. Freezing in winter vs. being comfortably warm. Using a cardboard box as a blanket vs. using a Hannah Montana bedspread... erm, I mean, a real manly bedspread with pictures of beer and stuff on it. And steak...
The Bible Is Immoral: Rape Was Considered A Minor Crime
(Deuteronomy 22:28-29) "If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her."...
Children's welfare should take legal priority over their parents' freedom of religion
Imagine you are a small child and as a special treat for your birthday your mummy and daddy take you to the zoo to see all the lovely animals locked up in their dirty, cramped cages. You are having a wonderful time there and you have laughed at the funny little monkeys and gasped at the great big elephants and you have even been allowed to stroke the bunny rabbits. Then your mummy asks you if you would like to see the lions and you reply that you would. So, you all set off in the direction of...
