Resolved: The average intelligence of a Fox News Anchor is = or < the average intelligence of a rock
The resolution is pretty straightforward, Pro must argue why the average Fox News anchorman is about as smart as a rock or less than that of a rock, while the con must argue that Fox News anchormen are capable of intellectual thought, reasoning, and logical conclusions based on evidence. First round is acceptance only :D...
Obama deserved the Nobel Prize

Standard debate rules apply.
That BP and its entire board should have all its/their wealth seized to pay for this disaster.
Direct quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bp "Since the 20 April 2010 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, in which 11 people died, BP's public standing and stock value have dropped substantially, losing nearly half of its market capitalization. The disaster, involving a leaking deep water oil well, has devastated a vast area of the United States marine environment, killed sealife and has a serious impact on the local fishing industry....
President Obama would destroy Bush in an election
Well lets see if Obama and Bush were to go against each other in a presidential debate Obama would win and here is why. First of all Bush lied through his teeth when he ran the last time, talking about he was going to fix everything as for Obama is doing what he said he was going to do and then some. Two Bush did not do nothing his first 100 days in office as for Obama he traveled around and met many other presidents and actually sat down and talked with them. Obama was not the only one...
Abortion is compleatly utterly and totally wrong.
Abortion is in no way right because its morally wrong I cannot see any reason for abortion ever. If someone doesn't want a kid they shouldn't get pregnant because taking a human life is just plain wrong. If you drown a pregnant woman it counts as a double murder so obiously a fetus is a person....
There should be a debate section for philosophy and "other" topics.
Philosophy: Debate is an integral portion of philosophy and I would love to have debates on ethics, political philosophy, free will, etc. but there is not a section. "Other": Because it would be conceded and closed-minded to think that you can create a list of all possible debate categories. After all. I couldn't even find a legitimate category to put this topic....

Fox news is not a reliable station and spreads propaganda
My opponent can either make the first arguments or accept and let me argue first. However if he makes his/her arguments first he/she will not be allowed to argue in the last round in order to ensure we both have the same number of rounds. Definitions: Reliable 1. To be depended on for accuracy and honesty Propaganda 1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. 2. the deliberate spreading of such inf...
Canada should help Libya before helping their own country first?!
In my opinion, Canada should help their own country first. They should help their country as quick as they can so then after that they could help Libya. I'm not saying that Canada should not help other countries although, if Canada has millions of dollars to send planes to Libya, can't they use some of that money to feed the hungry people that we have in Canada? Many people go home and not having anything to eat that night, the next night and/or the whole week! Although Libya is in danger as we...
Waterboarding is torture and anyone who allowed it/executed it should be prosecuted
Hi! Recently you may have heard about detainees being waterboarded. If you have been living under a rock for the past couple months, this might help: http://www.msnbc.msn.com... Now, for this debate, you get two for the price of one. Not only are we debating that Dick Cheney and Condi Rice and all those other mother firetruckers should be prosecuted, but also that waterboarding is torture. If you aren't convinced of that, try this: http://www.vanityfair.com... Now, I'm pretty sure torture i...
