America is being "dumbed down"
No Wikipedia No adding new arguments in later rounds No profiles that claim they are 100 years old. Nobody under 18. No word games. No playing with semantics. No vague definition of words. If you use a word that can have several meanings, make it clear what you actually mean. Texting has encouraged young people to stop caring about spelling and grammar. Ur, U, B4, Y and other "abbreviations" are even showing up in student school papers. http://www.suntimes.com/news/education/4600849-4...

Its true that banning semi-automatic guns will violate our second amendment. However,its doesn't fully take our right aw...
Atheism is the default position.
For this debate, it must be accepted that the definition of Atheism is "The Lack of the Belief in a God"....
Is There a God?
Rules: No Theists. They are biased and insane. No profiles that claim they are 100 years old. I don't debate with liars. Nobody under 18. People under 18 already know everything. No claiming "something can't come from nothing". Nobody has ever had a "nothing" to examine, so it can't even be defined what a "nothing" is. No claiming "everything must have a cause". Causality didn't exist until after the Bing Bang, which means the Big Bang could have happened without a cause. No claimi...
