Gay Marriage

dbaytor

As far as controvercial topics go, Gay marriage is one of the biggest ones, but it doesnt have to be. Why is gay marriage such a controvercial topic? Closed minded self-richeous people who are too stuck in their ways, they are the reason its such a controvercial topic. I'm not saying that everyone has to think that being a homosexual is right, or that everyone should be, but for goodness sake, why stop two people from having the right to marry eachother? "You cant get married because youre gay"....

Affirmative Action is Right and Necessary

early american settlers were racist. they captured people in africa, forced them to work in america under ridiculous conditions, then freed them and left them homeless; many families were broken up to begin with, so a lot of households had no nuclear fmaily at its core. once freed, black people had a hard time finding work due to discrimination. many found blue collar jobs as time went on and endured harsh work conditions because they had no other choice. they worked for low wages; this caus...

Over the past several years I've been told by numerous people that the US is the greatest country in the world. However, I've never heard why. I don't know what's so great about us, but maybe you do. (Greatest - Highest in quality; Superior to others;)...

The user s0m31john is a pedophile

DucoNihilum
s0m31john

My opponent shows clear signs of being a pedophile which I will outline in my further arguments. My first, rather short, line of evidence will be his avatar (At the time of the creation of this opening argument) , a character known a pedo bear on the chans. It is a clear sign of pedophilia, as pedo bear is an example of an active pedophile bear, which regularly rapes 'lolis'....

Gay Marraige should be legal and accepted in all of the USA.

Before I begin my argument, I would like to ask everyone who is voting in this debate to vote not based upon your own opinion. Please do not vote for one of us just because your opinions support one of us. Vote for the person who advanced their arguements better and rebutted their opponent's arguments better. Thank you. Now to the actual debate. My first argument is that gay people are still people. Just because one part of them is different, and they prefer people of the same gender, does...

Puppies are cute. I like puppies. People like puppies. Rainbows like puppies too. The word puppies starts with a 'q'. I have seen a number of puppies, all of them have been cute. 2 + 2 = 7. * Under no circumstances will my arguments exceed the above list of arguments against the topic....

Steps should be taken to preserve dying languages.

Vi_Veri
DrAlexander

I will make the introduction to this debate simple: I believe we should preserve dying languages for the following reasons: 1. Archaeological aid. 2. Anthropological aid. 3. Communication with cultures already in existence in an easier fashion. I will leave it up to my opponent to determine why this is not enough and will expand on it in my second argument....

Should the US continue to have Welfare?

Noah25
Danielle

People in our country are living off the tax payers money the people who actually have a job! I'm sick of it and it needs to stop! Only those with disabilities should have the privilege to be on welfare! I see people handicapped in fast food restaurants and other places working, but those who have the ability to go out and do something choose not to. I'm sick and tired of it!!!...
