We should a limited number of voters or limeted time on www.debate.org
I know most people here including myself are here to learn and dont really mind losing or winning a debate. Instead I wanna learn from others.

war in Iraq

The police officers weren't justified in thier crowd control tactics at the rainbow gathering july 3
In July of this summer, during the annual rainbow gathering, law enforcement officers aggressively entered kid village to arrest someone.

However, property tycoons, oil barons and inbred ar...

For clarity, the following words are defined. "Has had" is in the past tense; therefore any impacts in this round must already have happened. According to the University of Michigan, the rise of BRIC began in the 21st century, so any impacts in this round must have happened between the year 2000 and now. The resolution propo...
