WHY DO COLOR MATTER IN MOST AREAS.
OKAY TO START OUT MY ARGUMENT, I BELIEVE THAT COLOR SHOULD NOT MATTER ANY WHERE. EVERYBODY SHOULD BE TREAT EQUALLY AND RIGHT. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD STOP ALL THIS HATRED IN THE WORLD ON BLACKS AND WHITES. WE ARE ALL GOD'S CREATION. if we stop trinna focus on the color of other folks then maybe we all could get somewhere in life. white people have a saying about the blacks folks, and black folks got a saying about the whit fols. the white people saying about blacks folks are saggin spell...
Abortion is Prima Facie Morally Wrong
I'm going to offer a brief outline of the pro-life position that I defend, and I will engage in further argumentation in the subsequent rounds. The fundamental issue regarding the abortion debate is not women's rights or other factors which concern personal autonomy, but over the status of the unborn child. Variants of the personal choice argument presuppose that the unborn child is not a human person, for if the unborn child is indeed a human person, then no amount of freedom justifies its e...
Being gay is not a choice.
Gay - homosexual - having the romantic or sexual attraction or behavior among members of the same sex, situationally or as an enduring disposition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual Choice - the mental process of thinking involved with the process of judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one of them for action http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice I contend that being gay is a choice on behalf of the person whose sexuality is being questioned. There are at least two...
Abortion Is Morally Permissible in Most Cases for which It Occurs
Claim: Abortion Is Morally Permissible in Most Cases for which It Occurs Argument: Over 98% of abortion cases happen prior to the 21st week of pregnancy(1). Over 59% of abortion cases happen prior to the 9th week of pregnancy(1). My argument will rest on maintaining that abortion is morally permissible at least up to nine weeks into the pregnancy. 1. http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/fb_induced_abortion.html...
Cats are the greatest animal known to man.
Let me start this debate with a definition. Cat: Any of several carnivores of the family Felidae, as the lion, tiger, leopard or jaguar, etc. This of course also includes your common domestic cat. Animal: any member of the kingdom Animalia, comprising multicellular organisms that have a well-defined shape and usually limited growth, can move voluntarily, actively acquire food and digest it internally, and have sensory and nervous systems that allow them to respond rapidly to stimuli:...
There should be an age restriction to the people who can participate in debates.
First of all, I have wanted to start this debate for a while, but my problem was wondering which side I fell on. There are many young adults on here, <18, that are very capable of forming logical, rational arguments. With that said, there are also some who can/choose/do not do this. However, since I believe this site's main endeavor is the creation of knowledge, in order to not chance missing out on knowledge, we should not restrict anyone from debating, and that is why I'm against creatin...
Animal rights is an unjustified ethical doctrine.
I thank my opponent for accepting this debate - I've been wanting to have this debate with my opponent specifically for awhile, so I hope this turns out well. To put it simply, it seems that Charlie here is one of the more prominent PETA advocates on this website, with his slew of PETA debates. Since it seems to be quite evident that he is in favor of PETA, one can easily draw the conclusion that he is also an animal right's activist - after all, if he isn't then he'd most likely be a hypocri...
Being a stay at home mom is one of the most important jobs a woman can do.
As a mother, of two very young children (and 7 month old a 22 month old to be exact) I consider myself to have a job. My job is to raise two healthy, happy independent people. My children are not just babies to me. They are people I'm shaping, and preparing for this world. What you do while your children are in your home effects them when they're out of of your home. When did being a stay at home mother become some kind of a let down for women in the eyes of society? The aptitude of a female isn...
Why shouldn't gay marriage be legal
Gay marriage should be legal, since when does anyone get off by being able to tell someone else how to live there life. If we claim we have equal rights then we should practice what we preach and allow same sex marriage. How would allowing two people weather they be the same sex or not get married affect the whole world? In reality it should only affect that couple, and everyone else should mind there own business....
Breast feeding in public should be embraced by Americans, and excepted.
Other countries around the world are very comfortable with breastfeeding. I recently saw a picture of Hugo Chavez talking to, and embrassing a Venezuelan citizen openly breastfeeding. What do you think George Bush would do if he saw a woman breastfeeding while shaking hands? Why are American's so closed off and sometimes offended by women feeding they're babies naturally? Breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for your infant. There are no antibodies in formula. The fat's in breast milk help...
