Smoking should be permanently banned worldwide.
I hold the position in agreement to my topic. Cigarettes should be banned from society and be illegal parallel to selling illicit narcotics such as heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine. Tobacco smoking can be dated back to approximated 6000 BC. Today it is ubiquitous throughout the Americas. 42 percent of Americans smoke cigarettes. The exponential increase in demand attests its highly addictive nature. Till today, some people rest assured that cigarettes are merely a mental addiction, and the "...
Dance Dance Revolution ought to be included in High-School . . .
FULL TOPIC: Dance Dance Revolution ought to be included in High-School and/or Middle School Physical Education classes for schools that can afford it. I am in favor of this suggestion. I fully uphold the notion that DDR ought to be included and invite anyone who wishes to argue in favor of the topic. Like my most recent debate challenge, I shall begin argumentation in the second round and shall merely let this round serve as the greeting round. PRO is more than free to follow suit and begin a...
End Prohibition, Drugs Become Public Health Issue
This debate will argue the current standards in the United States and Canada. I believe drug abuse should be a public health issue, which means users and abusers do not face criminal penalties, but are offered treatment for their addiction in an open ended, government funded center. This would remove much of the racial stereotype seen with arrests for possession of illegal drugs. This would save billions of dollars in police processing fees, court fees, incarceration fees, and potential...
Abnormal women should be made to wear unfashionable uniforms whilst out in public
For the purposes of this debate, unless otherwise challenged, "abnormal women" shall mean adult females with an unhealthy body weight, viz. being either underweight or overweight according to the body mass index scale (1) and "unfashionable uniform" shall mean one similar to the garment pictured hereunder: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Irma_Grese.jpg The fact is, being underweight or overweight can present women with serious medical problems and they should obviously a...
Abortion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsknXsm2eHo No nation devoted to individual liberty should force women back to the days of back-alley abortions. No women should have to bear a child against thier will. Free-will. That's what I stand for. No, no. That would be terrible, un-ethical and generally wrong. Women with free-will? God-forbid! The fact is that women will always still desire to have an abortion, which some may follow through with. This will never end abortion. You have no control over...
Living Organ Donors Should Be Allowed to be Compensated
A lot of Americans check the box when getting their driver's license renewed to be an organ donor so that, in the event of their own death, their organs can be used to save the life of someone else in need or in research. A lot of Americans also donate blood and get some compensation for this. A lot of Americans also volunteer to participate in experimental research trials of new medications, before risks and side effects of the medicines are known. There are a few Americans who volunte...

My point is simple and i will get straight to the point If i person wants to die and has a terminal illness and they have made this decsion then let them give them time to wait and decided but if they are certain they want this let them its that simple. how would you like it if you live in extreme mental and physical health and want to die but some judge who doesnt give a s**t about you says no you cant jsut because he feels like it? i leave you with one message pretty straightforward and a...
Humans taste great
I have been eating other people since I was about 12 years old. It has been a tradition in my family for many years. The muscle on a 150 pounder is nice and tender when you cook it. Just thinking of it makes my mouth water. I'm not sure if there can even be an opposition to this but if someone does accept this challenge I thank them....
