Drinking Water
full resolution, "Resolved: Access to drinking water ought to be valued as a human right instead of as a commodity" I'm hesitant about debating this topic here on DDO, but I figured it's at the very least worth a try. I'll allow my opponent to go first when accepting this debate. I repeat: the first round is not just for acceptance, if you accept begin the round. I realize that I am at a disadvantage that way but I'm fine with that. Make whatever kind of arguments you'd like, even semanti...

The over indulgence in our entertainment negatively affects how we view & treat each other.
*RESOLUTION*: Pro will be instigating different subjects related to the topic at hand. Con will be contending by trying to debunk my evidence with his own that it doesn't. Ultimately revealing the reality of our actions & how they directly/indirectly may/not have affect on how we view & treat each other. Both parties will be rationalizing & dissecting each others arguments to evolve new ideas. RULES: First round is for acceptance & there will be a max character count to "murder the alphabet"...
The Kalam Cosmological Argument is Invalid
1. Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence;
2. The universe has a beginning of its existence;
3. Therefore: The universe has a cause of its existence.
I will be arguing that the KCA is not only unsound, but is invalid! That is, even if the premises (#1 and #...
