Public health concerns justify compulsory immunization
I will negate the resolution. Some things my not apply to todays debate becuase I debate this case at tournaments. LD AC, NC, AR, NR, AR2! Let's begin "Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all." Edmund Burke an English philosopher (1797) once said this. Compulsory immunizations take away the justice in society, taking this justice away is like not having it at...

Health insurance profits are not a major part of health care costs in the U.S.
Advocates of increased government involvement in health care frequently cite the profits of private health care providers as a major part of the costs of health care. An example of the criticism is that of Representative Anthony Weiner (D-NY), speaking on the Rachel Maddow show, who said, speaking of proposed legislation that would heavily tax the health insurance industry: "Well, the one behavioral change we are clearly not going to see is the insurance companies aren't going to suddenly...

Human Cloning
Back in History, cars was an object only the rich and the famous could have and afford, now a days, everyone has one., what if this happens with Cloning, at first, only the rich can afford them, but after a while, it becomes so common, that tyrants or military dictators could just clone armies..

The user Conor is weird.
In this debate, I will be arguing that the user Conor is weird. That is, he displays abnormal patterns of behavior that are unnecessarily random and incoherent. Conor will defend himself as not weird to any meaningful degree. Some evidence of Conor's abnormal behavior to start us off: "Conor's Information" on his profile reveals a number of references to Islam and terrorism, despite his being a 16-year-old male atheist in Brooklyn, New York: "About Me: Moqtada Activities: Jihad Belief...
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down (perhaps or perhaps not in the most delightful way).
I noticed the lack of evidience in Ms. Mary Poppin's logic. I apologize to many of you, I realize that only one as cynical as I would insuate that a childrens movie has a lack of depth and logic. It just struck me that this could be an interesting debate, as I'm sure many of you will come to find out that it will. I will begin by making observations, then moving on to my opening (and final) arguement. Observation 1: Any sugar in the medicine is considered a part of the medicine and should...
legalization of marijuana
Evidence will show and who ever is to argue with me will hear that making marijuana a legal drug will be one of the most critical mistakes this country shall make. Marijuana has been one of the most commonly illegal drugs to be consumed by people through out the world. Statistics show that the death toll of marijuana consumers is at a very low state compared to the deaths of cocaine and tobacco consumers. Despite the fact it may not cause death, marijuana has been proved to have had many medical...
