Resovled: Liberlism should not be allowed in the U.S
Liberalism is a political party that is against all american idealogy and is destroying america as a whole 1) It is making our country look lazy and ignorant for simply GIVING our citizens money without representation 2) It is against every thing that the founding father based the country off of 3) Liberalism will eventually ruin our country, further worsening the economy because you are spending money on people that don't benefit society. (the only exception is for people that have...
The BNP (as constituted) should NOT be allowed to exist as a political party.
Hello and welcome to readers and to my esteemed opponent Volkov. It is a pleasure to be debating someone with such an excellent grasp of international politics and I hope that his depth of knowledge does not show me up too much in this debate! We agreed to this debate in the comments section of a debate instigated by my opponent (sadly sabotaged by a troll). http://www.debate.org/debates/The-BBC-Was-Wrong-To-Allow-Nick-Griffin-On-Question-Time/1/ This is a subject close to my heart as a Br...
Abortions are morally wrong.
I will be negating the resolution that abortions are morally wrong, and since most abortions occur in the first trimester this debate will only focus on abortions that take place during that time period. Moral philosophers, theologians, and medical practitioners have argued about the ethics behind abortion for quite some time. And many deeply ethical people have come to view abortion as being morally reprehensible. However, most of the arguments against abortion can be shown to be fallacious...
Fox News...... unfair and biased
Is it me, or is Fox News the most unfair and biased "news" organization that has ever existed ? How do they get away with so much dis-information......It kind of sickens me to see how they are dividing the country with nonsensical statements, justified by their so - called talk shows like Hannity....... It's un-American... what ever happened to the truth and verifiable facts !...
R: It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of many innocent people.
"It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong." It's because that I agree with this quote by Jeremy Bentham that I urge an affirmation of the resolution. "It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of many innocent people." [Definitions] For clarity I pose the following definitions. 1. Morally permissible: conforming to a circumstantial standard of right behavior. 2. More: a larger quantitative amount...
Rush Limbaugh was slandered by racist charges.
A campaign by Leftists accusing Limbaugh with charges of racism was a success. They succeeded in getting him kicked out of the investor group that is planning to make a bid for the St. Louis Rams. The important evidence against Limbaugh comprised his alleged comments praising Martin Luther King's assassin, his comment "Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark," and finally that he made...
There are situations conceivable when torture can be justified.
Imagine that you have been carted off against your will to some dank and sadistic dungeon. Upon arriving you are immediately forced to confront an ethical dilemma. Your captors tell you that you must torture an innocent man that now sits in front of you for 5 minutes. If you fail to comply with this request they will torture the man anyway and 100 other innocent people. And not only will they torture these innocent people they will torture them all to the point of death. So, now you must make a...
We should to get rid of the Federal Reserve.
We need to get rid of the Federal Reserve of America so that the money authority can be rightfully be returned to the American People. The Federal Reserve is not federal at all. It is outside our government. The Federal Reserve loans it's money to the Government at an interest, so we have to pay the money back to them, obviously. But what about the interest that we have to pay back to them? We get the money to pay the Fed back from the Fed of course! It is this vicious cycle of endlessly bor...
Religious references should be removed from national obligations.
By definition, an obligation is "an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound." Meeting this formal definition is the act of pledging allegiance to the United States flag, to which a person is morally bound as an American citizen, and the act of using the legally required US currency. A resounding problem concerning these two national obligations is the reference to God that they both contain. There are other obligations that have the same issue, such as swearing on t...
Abortion should be illegal in the United States
Medical abortion first became legal in the United States in 1973 under the Roe v. Wade supreme court ruling. In this debate, I wish to show that this ruling should be overturned, as abortion goes against the Constitution. I will prove this using logic and clear facts. I will start by defining my terms. There are many kinds of abortion, but in this debate I will specifically address the type of abortion legalized in Roe v.Wade. That is, abortion before the point of viability. I also wish to in...
