I am curious to see how anyone can argue that any law does not legislate morality. To this end, I made the statement that the Constitution legislates morality, a point to which CON contested.

Resolution:

The US Constitution Legislates Morality

On balance it is beneficial for the citizens of the United States to keep use of marijuana illegal

Basic DDO rules apply. Forfeits lose conduct. No new arguments in the last round. The first round is for acceptence only, unless my opponent wants to have the first word in which case I'll request that he doesn't post in his final round to keep the number of responses equal.

Burden of proof: Shared. I must show that legalizing marijuana will have a net benefit, my opponent must show that keeping it illegal has a net benefit. In the unlikely event that neither of u...

Its true that banning semi-automatic guns will violate our second amendment. However,its doesn't fully take our right aw...

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...
