The Quote Debate
This quote debate, is not my idea. It orginally was rangersfootballclub's. I recently had a "quote debate" with him and find it very enjoyable (: You vote on the person with the best quotes. You may say one each round. It is optional to say who said it, and quotes that you have made up can be used. The quotes you use, should give off your self-expression,personality, and individuality. Shall we get this started? "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the momen...
John Lennon's song "Imagine" reflects a bleak existence rather than a socialist utopia.
In the lyrics of his song Lennon asks the listener to imagine a world with "nothing to kill or die for". It is my contention that an existence in which there is nothing we value enough to give our life for or for which we are willing to take the life of another who wishes to deprive us of that which we value is ultimately an unfulfilled life....
'Quote Battles' are not debates.
http://www.Debate.org/debate/7214/ They do not argue or discuss; therefore, it is not a debate. Debate-a regulated discussion of a proposition between two matched sides http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/debate As we can see in an example of the 'debates' I have in mind, they simply throw out quotes. While this is relevant to the contention, they do not argue why their quotes are better or funnier. In this manner, this is no debate....
Sampling (in music) is not theft
Hi, I would first like to make it clear that I am referring to theft in a moral rather than a legal sense of the word, If you wish to debate the legality of sampling please do not accept this debate. To clarify, here are some definitions: (I use the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 10th edition revised) 'sampling: 2. the technique of digitally encoding music or sound and re-using it as part of a composition or recording.' [I point out that I would also include the rare examples of purel...
The war in China is essential
The war in china is completely ridiculous. The U.S. needs to pull out their troops from Nanjing. If we don't then it could result in World War II part B! Just last year there was a similar conflict between Mesopitamia and Prussia. It resulted in ethnic cleansing of all the Aryians. According to prophecy, Kurt Vonnegut was born in blood to a german english dictionary. Therefore Neil Patrick Harris has the sorcerer's stone. I thank my opponent and await their response....

Emergency public announcements shouldn't be made through the medium of dance
Have you ever been to a contemporary dance workshop? If you have, you will have noted that the performers endeavour to convey all sorts of concepts through the medium of dance. Now, have you ever been in the situation where the police have driven past your house announcing some kind of emergency over a loudhailer? If the answer is 'yes' to both of the above then it must have occurred to you that the police could be better deployed elsewhere and the job of warning the public of impending di...

Rap Battle.
This here is a rap battle, kids. The objective for each side is simply to make a rap, not too short but not too long, that attacks the other person. Because we're simply writing our raps, beats won't really be an issue, so the battle will essentially be more poetic than fully hip-hop like. The criteria used for judging should simply be the quality of the wordplay, taking into account creativity of the rhymes, references to outside things, etc. Flow–meaning rhythm, and the syllabic structu...
