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...

The American invasion of Afghanistan is justifiable.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, I would like to first thank my opponent for joining me here today/tonight for this debate and any onlookers for partially judging this debate.

Will the Buffett Tax System be beneficial for the economy?
I believe that the Buffett Tax System will prove beneficial for the US and world economy because it will lead to a progressive system that will move towards a more balanced and shared economical existence. While many millionaires have argued against this and that according to the estimates from the Tax Policy Center, the average federal tax rates paid by people with incomes over 1million is about 29% while that of people with income between $50,000 to $75,000 is only about 15%, this policy will...

Allowing deep water offshore drilling is in the United States best interest
Recently, President Obama issued a 6 month moratorium on deep sea drilling. This supposedly gives experts enough time to examine the problems in the Deep Water Horizon oil well and set new regulations. I will be debating that this is a grand mistake. I will be in affirmation of the resolution. I state 3 contentions to support the resolution: 1. Allowing deep water offshore drilling decreases US reliance on foreign oil. 2. Allowing deep water offshore drilling increases the supply of usabl...
