Glenn Beck is a Nut-Case
I will be taking the PRO stance on Glenn Beck being a nut-case. That is to say, unsound and non-normal to a high degree in a negative way in relation to mental health. No tricky semantics or word-games may be used in this debate....

Moral Argument: Meat Eating
The consumption of animal flesh by modern human beings is morally wrong. Humans have moved beyond the necessity of killing and eating animals for food. We have socially evolved beyond eating other animals. In ages gone by, humans have had to struggle against the wilderness. Every scrap of food was precious, and every hunt could mean life or death for the tribe or family. Eating animals was an absolute necessity for survival. But today, modern humans living in developed countries are...

Eating meat is good for your health
Does anyone want to argue in favour of this? Assuming focus on developed western nations, and that extended life expectancy and prevention of disease = good for health. Also, that eating meat is good for your health in comparison to other non-meat alternative food sources (i.e. not to be compared with eating nothing instead etc.). I'll argue against. If someone accepts, this will be my first debate, so please let me know if there is anything that I've missed out regarding format & rule...

Marijuana Is a Medicine
A powerful medicine Marijuana contains an amazing chemical, beta-caryophyllene, and scientists have thoroughly proven that it can be used to treat pain, inflammation, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis. Jürg Gertsch, of ETH Zürich, and his collaborators from three other universities learned that the natural molecule can activate a protein called cannabinoid receptor type 2. When that biological button is pushed, it soothes the immune system, increases bone mass, and blocks pain signals — withou...

There are no negatives to moderate drinking
The challenge was declined, even though it was said to be "scientific fact." If anyone else would like to defend Geo's comments, this is open to all. This is a challenge based on comments said in this thread. [1] For this debate, we will use the following definitions. negatives - "negative medical effects" so this tosses out any social and financial consequences. moderate drinking - "consumption of 14 alcoholic drinks per weekly, spread evenly throughout the week." This tosses out do...
People with AIDS should be shot into the space.
First, I'd like to ask that people vote off of better argumentation, rather than what they personally believe think, even if the PRO seems a bit totalitarian. AIDS is a big epidemic, yet we still have no cure. So, what is the best way to eliminate the disease? Complete eradication. Contentions: 1.) By shooting people with AIDS into the space, we will almost completely get rid off the disease. Of course, it will still lurk in the dark corners and such, but for the most part, people will no...
