On this site. I cite myself as an example. Now I have to complete 3 debates to even vote on these debates. This is ridiculous. I can provide my cellphone number. I assure you I am a great voter. I read debates. I vote nonbiasely. I have taken the side of a debater I have disagreed with. Prove me wrong and help me have my first debate!...

Facebook is better than Twitter

Sumone2Every1

I think Facebook is better than twitter, coz it appeals to people looking to reconnect with old friends and family members or find new friends online. Facebook is user Friendly comapre to Twitter. Twitter has limited Functionality,not all people find it useful. In the end, both Twitter and Facebook are simply communication tools. But, will either Twitter or Facebook become the next Google. or its just a hype for couple of years like Orkut. What do you think?...

With a society that is becoming more and more connected to, and reliant on, the Internet, there is an increasing need to address the issue of net neutrality. Net neutrality is a broad term, but for this debate I propose it be limited to this definition: Net neutrality: ISPs who charge for internet access must provide a service that enables users to send and receive packets using the Internet in a way that is indifferent to the contents, source or destination of the packets. The Interne...

Apple recently came out with a touchscreen tablet called the IPad. It does nothing at all! It's just one big ipod touch. Nobody can say that the IPad does anything useful that an Ipod touch does not. I know from experience because my aunt has an IPad and it doesn't even type properly. Better luck next time apple! I now will let my opponent make his argument....

Cyber Bullying Should Be a Criminal Offense

Why are people making such a big deal on cyber bullying. I would like to debate about this in preparation on my NFL debate coming up soon. First of all, education is a much better way to solve this. Second, it is not a big threat. Third, criminalizing it doesn't stop cyber bullying. Contention One- Programs work! They are very effective. Anti bullying programs work-According to Newsday, "Statistics from the state Department of Education show a nearly 11 percent decline on the Island in inc...

Cleverbot is a sign of Artificial Intelligence's eventual rise to sentience

Demauscian
J.Kenyon

Definitions: Cleverbot-a computer program that learns to mimic speech (see cleverbot.com) Artificial Intelligence-A man made machine which can imitate intelligence Sentience-The ability to feel or perceive. (for this debate, Sapience will be assumed to be synonymous) First I must dispel a common myth. Cleverbot is not a hoax, many believe that Cleverbot simply hooks you up with another anonymous user and the two of you communicate, thinking the other is the computer. This is not the case,...

The Russian PPSH-41 was a more effective weapon than the American Thompson sub machine gun

joshuaXlawyer

The Russian PPSH-41 is a better weapon system than the American Thompson sub machine gun. I will let my opponent post his argument first. Me nor my opponent are NOT ALLOWED to vote for ourselves in this debate. If one of us break this rule then the other debater should get the better conduct vote. I wish the challenger of this debate good luck and may the best man win....
