The categorizations of "Good" and "bad" are illusions and nothing more. (and so is morality)

Hello, This is one of my long-standing beliefs that shape the way I think. I did not initiate this debate for a while, as I was –am- afraid that no facts or solid evidence will be pr3esented. To whoever accepts, please don't turn this into a "Yea-Huh!...Nun-unh!" boring and repetitive debate. This topic so closely ties in with many of the other parts of the fundamental chain of thought that controls my thinking, so I will briefly cover some other areas that will come up. Well hear we go… L...

The United States of America is the greatest country in the world.

Over the past several years I've been told by numerous people that the US is the greatest country in the world. However, I've never heard why. I don't know what's so great about us, but maybe you do. (Greatest - Highest in quality; Superior to others;)...

Is it possible to pick the number 5 at random from all integers?

MoonDragon613

Deviating from my usual debates on politics: Is it possible to pick the number 5 at random? In this really short 1 round debate, I argue it is impossible to pick the number 5 at random from all integers. There are an infinite number of integers, and no matter how many times you attempt to choose a number at random, you will never ever choose 5. (I'll save the broader philosophical implications of this debate for another time)...

Cosmetic Surgery-should it be restricted or not?

The number of cosmetic surgeries have increased, according to the Washington Post, by 440% compared to the number in 1997. The side effects and black market society has increased as well. Today, I brought up a question-should cosmetic surgery be allowed or not? My motion is to restrict cosmetic surgery through the Korean Medical Association(KMA), making qualifications to get plastic surgery harder and limiting outside or private institutes. I define cosmetic surgery as an operation pe...

Those pot-smoking atheist communist homosexual peacenik anarchists

feverish

I think the real question is when are these groups going to realize that their common issue is freedom and quit pretending one another don't exist because it might stigmatize them? Also why don't they already and what does that prove besides they (or we) are all just hypocrites? Resolved, that this is a good topic for debate. I will be arguing the Con. This is a terrible topic for debate although it actually is a good topic for discussion since in order to disprove it you would have to exh...

A woman's place is in the home

brian_eggleston
PartamRuhem

Research shows that the majority of people believe that a woman's place is in the home: looking after the children; attending to domestic duties and ensuring her husband's dinner is on the table when he comes in from work. [1] Sadly, many women these days have chosen to abandon their feminine duties and pursue careers in industry and commerce instead - and it stands to reason that their families have suffered as a result of their neglect. Meanwhile, there is mass unemployment with the resu...

Waterboarding should be legal in the United States.

RoyLatham
InVinoVeritas

There are a number of definitions of waterboarding. The definition of interest for this debate is the technique used by the Central Intelligence Agency to interrogate terrorists. Wikipedia quotes a CIA manual:

"In this procedure, the individual is bound securely to an inclined bench, which is approximately four feet by seven feet. The individual's feet are generally elevated. A cloth is placed over the forehead and eyes. Water is then applied to the cloth in a controlled manner....
