Fluoride should not be added to drinking water.
I welcome the readers and my opponent. Resolved: Fluoride should not be added to drinking water. Even though society as a whole has been conditioned to accept that fluoride is "good for us", that is in fact not the case. Have you ever thought about how fluoride "protects" our teeth? Does it not do this by "killing" the bacteria that are on our teeth? So how does it "kill" these bacteria? Well, it must be "poisonous" to enable it to "kill"...and it is...and if fluoride is ingested it doesn'...
Anti-viral drugs should be used to treat the sick, not protect the posh
I propose that private practitioners should be prohibited from providing over-privileged panic-merchants with prophylactic prescriprions that protect posh patients from porcine pandemics. That's because although drugs like Tamiflu can prevent an individual from contracting swine flu, there aren't enough stocks of this anti-viral medicine to go round and, consequently, paranoid posh people have been purchasing this medicine from private doctors, even though they are not suffering any symptoms...
Breathing is good for you
Breathing is good for you because right now you are breathing and if you don't breath you would already be dead by now....
The user Conor is weird.
In this debate, I will be arguing that the user Conor is weird. That is, he displays abnormal patterns of behavior that are unnecessarily random and incoherent. Conor will defend himself as not weird to any meaningful degree. Some evidence of Conor's abnormal behavior to start us off: "Conor's Information" on his profile reveals a number of references to Islam and terrorism, despite his being a 16-year-old male atheist in Brooklyn, New York: "About Me: Moqtada Activities: Jihad Belief...
A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down (perhaps or perhaps not in the most delightful way).
I noticed the lack of evidience in Ms. Mary Poppin's logic. I apologize to many of you, I realize that only one as cynical as I would insuate that a childrens movie has a lack of depth and logic. It just struck me that this could be an interesting debate, as I'm sure many of you will come to find out that it will. I will begin by making observations, then moving on to my opening (and final) arguement. Observation 1: Any sugar in the medicine is considered a part of the medicine and should...
animal testing should be legal, but only for medicinal uses
First let me start off by defining myself: animal testing: the use of non human animals in research for purposes of determining the safety of substances. medicinal: used for the cure of bodily disorders. "Sara" is a little girl. Her mother has cancer, and she will die soon. there is a scientist who thinks he has the cure for cancer. He can do one of three things. He can either a) give it to the mother and risk the chance of the medicine killing her or severely hurting her. b) test it on som...
My opponent can't answer this question before the next round
Here is Congress's health care bill in it's entirety: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h3200ih.pdf My challenge is that my opponent will not be able to answer a simple question I have about this bill before the 72 hour time limit expires. I will allow my opponent to look else where if they so desire. The Question: If a "Public Option" is made available, can I continue to keep private health insurance if I am laid off, quit or get fired. In...
Should Suicide be legal
Suicide is a criminal offense in most western countries. I think suicide should be legal because its your life and you should be able to do what you want with it. Suicide is different from abortion, cloning, euthanasia, and taking someone else's life in the important respect that it involves only one individual and his/her choice about the way he/she lives and dies....

Organic is better.
Organic" is a term that I would like to refer to as producing food without the employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Though organic foods may be pricey, overall they have great benefits. Not only benefits for your own self being, but benefits on your environment and your planet, Earth. Now in order to completely understand this debate, you should be aware of the history of organic food. Organic food (farming actually) was first introdu...
