Children should be beaten
It shall be my primary goal to defend Maddox's thesis in his article: "Love your kids? Prove it by beating them." First round acceptence. If my opponent tries to pull semantics than the tie rule ceases to be in effect and I win.
His thesis can be summed up by the following image:
California should adopt New York City's restriction on the sale of sugary drinks.
Hello, I would first like to thank my opponent for being here today. Now I would like to go on to my own points. 1. American"s are becoming obese. -"About 12 million (16.9%) of U.S. children ages 2 to 19 are obese. -Nearly one in three (31.7%) U.S. children (23,500,000) ages 2 to 19 are overweight or obese. -Over one-third (33.7%) of U.S. adults are obese (nearly 75 million adults)." American Heart Association "A huge, decades-long study involving more than 33,000 Americans has yielded...
As the obesity epidemic grows in scope, so too does the "blame game."
Point 1: Fast restaurants do not have a warning label. Sub A: They know the danger involved and as smoke and drink companies they will be label properly the food. A normal person do not know the process and the ingredients. Sub B: The proper behavior of companies will be to protect their own customers and be aware. It probably reduce their incomes but it will be better for the future of the food companies....
There shouldn't be animal abuse
Animal abuse isn't right because people killing innocent animals is like murdering and that is a cre so abuse is a crime that no one should do because just because animals aren't humans doesnt mean they shouldn't be treated unfairly . Animals are part of nature just as we are and are "things" just like us . So I am pro for against animal abuse...
Stopping supply/demand for ecstasy
I'm hopping would stop the supply/demand for ecstasy and I will let my opponent go first on how they think why we should keep ecstasy around...
Marijuana Medicine
Marijuana has helped several people, there is even emerging evidence that THC helps destroy certain cancer cells. Now my question is why do you think it shouldn't be legal? The only reason it is a gateway drug is because you have to associate yourself with dealers who usually are shady mofos and when you're dealing with shady law breakers you usually get more trouble than you bargain for. You sit down and hang out then Johnny crack head enters while you're high and asks if you wanna have a free...
should doctors be able to end the life of a suffering patient if asked by the patient?
I will be taking the pro side of this debate, and my opponent will be taking the con side of the debate both of us explaining why it should or shouldn't be allowed. yes I think that doctors should be able to terminate the life of the patient if asked to do so, but only if they have no hope of recovery. If terminating the life of the patient promotes the best interests of the family, friends and the patient and violates no one's rights, the libertarian view maintains, then that action is moral...
People Shoudn't Smoke Cigarettes
Smoking cigarettes is a known leading cause of death in many countries all over the world. The effects of smoking have been researched and there is no positive reason to smoke cigarettes knowing the negative effects it can have on you. Even knowing this, people, for whatever reason, continue to smoke cigarettes. Everyone should be well aware of the negative effects cigarrettes have on them, and should therefore not smoke cigarretes. Knowing that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer and res...

Alright, to start off the debate I will first explain the reason behind it. Me and one of my best friends been debating whether A: The milk goes first into the bowl, then the cereal follows, B: The cereal goes into the bowl first, hence the Milk is put in the bowl second. I will be supporting point "B", that the cereal comes first. My opponent will have to support point "A" that the milk goes first into the bowl. This is my first debate so don't blame me if the setup is a bit weird lol....
xenotransplantation is good or bad?
Xeno would be impossible without using animal materials, by definition. Do we have a right to use them? Xeno research may be more problematic than any subsequent use of animals for organs. In current research, animals are both donors and recipients. Donor issues are similar to those that would arise once xeno is well established. But animal test recipients may be subjected to procedures that cause serious suffering. Some such suffering may be caused by the social context of the research: for...
