The Character Limit at Debate.org is a Nuisance and Should Be Removed.

Rousseau

I beleive the character limit is a nuisance to seriosu debaters, and in some cases (see my debate on Africa, in which I have had to delete several things on almost every post due to the character limit) actually limits the debate. I beleive that there should be no character length, but rather a trust that no one will go ridiculously in depth with superfluous information. Added to this I can see no reason for it to be around. At the very least, I support lengthening it. I beleive it was added...

Randomness is a lack of Knowledge in both Spiritual and Physical world.

GodSands
JustCallMeTarzan

By not being able to have the knowledge of a great or a small deal of information is random. As information is knowledgeable, therefore by definition it would appear random, as you have no knowledge of the matter at hand. If being scared is a fright of sudden randomness, not being able to understand something. Like in my very personal case not understanding the spiritual world is frightening as well as random. Example: Water into wine by Jesus Christ. This will seem random because of your la...

Is Home Schooling The Answer

happy2b

Perhaps home schooling is the answer for many families, considering how high the drop out rates are, the schools are trying to teach morals, discipline, or fashion. The schools are blaming parents, the Government and the children on the drop out rate, refusing to improve the system that is failing many children. It is the teacher's job to give a basic education so that children will be prepared for college. It is not their job to raise our children, to teach morals, how to dress, or to disc...

Single sex schools

NSG

I am against single sex schools. I have always been studying in the co-education schools, and have realized that with the daily company of males, as they are totally different humans both in the was they work and how they view life in general, half of my discovering around life has evolved through the connection with the opposite sex in school. Like half of your own being develops from both your mother and father, half and half, I believe living daily lives with the opposite sex make half of...

Should we bring back the Bible in our school system?

impactyourworld89
Harlan

My question to you is, should the Bible be brought back into our school system? Before the early 1960's, the Bible was a primary textbook in the classroom, but now the Supreme Court has ruled this unconstitutional. What do you think of this opinion, and do you think this aligns with the founding father's view of religion in schools? Why?...

The Nazis were evil

kvaughan

Nazi's suck. They killed all the Jews and made them dead and that's not alright with me. The Jews loved God and didn't afraid of anything so they didn't need to become an hero. Indeed dialectical critical realism may be seen under the aspect of Foucauldian strategic reversal-of the unholy trinity of Parmenidean/Platonic/Aristotelean provenance; of the Cartesian-Lockean-Humean-Kantian paradigm; of foundationalisms (in practice, fideistic foundationalisms) and irrationalisms (in practice, capri...

Really what is the truth about the earth and how we got here?

GodSands
beem0r

20 billion years ago. Nothingness. Then suddenly some unknown atom massed outwards into space, if only we could get our hands on this "atom", as there was space for this explosion to expand into there had to be time and existing matter there before. According to science outside the universe, it's a void where nothing can exist. So how did anything come together to begin with? So far I would say im being logical. Then the next part is chemical evolution, how and where did all these chemicals get...

0.9999 recurring is equal to 1

Logic_on_rails
DrStrangeLuv

Intro

The 0.999 recurring is to mean a continuous stream of nines, ever ending. I assume people know what I mean here. The Pro's burden is simple, to prove that 0.99 recurring is indeed equal to 1. I'm looking to see if there's any challengers out there. And before anyone gets at all tricky (sneaky, making new rules), don't get ridiculously tricky, it's also of course in base 10 that we're talking (no base 16 etc.) . Finally not every dash (-) or such is a minu...

Hello Daniel, as you know this is Paul and i want to say that i am really sorry for rejecting your debate. The reason was because it's so obvious that landmines are not good and also that the fact i agree in banning landmines. So i decided to make a simpler debate, please except my challenge and people who are going to comment thank you ^^ this is my first debate. I think that homeschooling should be aloud for the following reasons 1. Educational Freedom Most students have the choice to...
