Deport Illegal Immigrants who have Committed a Crime in the US?
I am for this because people in our country who have done something illegal should absolutely be returned to there home country and be prosecuted there. I believe this would be good so that we could lower the population in our jails and also keep illegalise out!...
Standards should be placed on orginizations that Have the word News in the Title
News, We have all seen this word and there is an integrity with it, However at current there are hundreds of "News" programs that are nothing but propaganda engines, churning out speculation and opinion rather than fact. We need to place standards on any "News" program to ensure that information is broadcast in a non biased way. I am not saying that we cannot have the biased shows, I am simply saying that opinion should not be touted as fact....

Should the United States withdraw it's troops from Iraq?
American troops have been in Iraq for several years now. Although the defeat of Saddam and the Iraq military was relatively easy, the stabilization of the country in the aftermath has been anything but easy. Thousands of American troops have died, and Iraqi civilians continue to get caught in terrorist and cross-cultural attacks on a daily basis. The U.S. continues to progress in its attempt to help the Iraqis become politically and militarily self-sufficient, but most Democrats and much of the...
Iran presents a real threat to the welfare of the United states and the world
I believe Iran presents a true threat to the welfare of the united states and in fact the world. The reasons i present to support this statement are: 1. Nuclear Capability 2. Terrorist Funds 3. Religion 1. While there was a report that said Iran stopped pursuing nuclear weapons in 2003, there are other reports (notice it's plural) from both the US and Israel and more, that estimate Iran will have the capability to produce Nuclear Weapons (NWs) ranging from as early as 2009 to almost 2020....
It is morally permissible to kill Nelson Mandela to save the lives of innocent orphans.
This debate is inspired by the forthcoming LD debate: "It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of more innocent people" but I don't know how to do LD debate (and I'm too lazy to learn) so please forgive my self-indulgence in pursuing a less formal interpretation of the topic. Picture the scene, if you will. It is a fine day in South Africa and Nelson Mandela is at the controls of his Ziviko Edge 540 single-seater stunt plane. All is well and he is heading home...

Resolved: That, on balance, the rise of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) has had a positive i
We strongly affirm today's resolution: Resolved: That, on balance, the rise of Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC) has had a positive impact on the United States. For clarity, the following words are defined. "Has had" is in the past tense; therefore any impacts in this round must already have happened. According to the University of Michigan, the rise of BRIC began in the 21st century, so any impacts in this round must have happened between the year 2000 and now. The resolution propo...
