Round 1 will only be for acceptance. Round 2 will start the actual debate. Since it is a current event, it should be very interesting to examine it. Thank you!...

Ther Border Fence between the USA and Mexico is a bad idea

crazypenguin
NonZeroBubble

Thank you for joining this debate, First I would like to state my oppening arguments. There shouldn't be a border fence in between Mexico and the USA because not only does it seem very inconsiderate by showing that we have to block out a country and isolate ourselves and Mexico but also why do we need a big fence showing that we don't want anyone in our country from Mexico. Second why do we have to create hostillity between two nations who work well together. By building this fence not...

Ariel Castro VS Jodi Arias (who is worse?)

RocketEngineer
ConservativePolitico

Hello everyone! Based on the two biggest issues on the news during the last week, I think this would be a fun debate. How this will work, is that my opponent will pick one person in round one. This debate will be about determining who is more sick and twisted out of Jodi Arias, and Ariel Castro. I will take either one. Debate will take place in rounds 2 and 3. Thanks in advance to whoever accepts this. :)...

Terrorism

OmarGoBoom

Terrorism is good for reasons such as:
1. Population control
2. if the act of terrorism is suicide bombing the terrorist dies too
3. it creates drama (girls can't live without drama)
4. it creates news for the media which increases jobs for the media
5. terrorism could also kill future evil leaders

Banning Guns

Deato997
Gandhi

Some people in this world believe we should ban guns from the streets and from honest people who don't use them to do harm. I saw this is a load of crap, i mean its not like banning guns is gonna make all the criminals give up there guns. And besides its not like they got them legally anyway. Taking away guns would just endanger more people because they wouldn't have a way to protect themselves and fight back....

Wikileaks

LaissezFaire

"Media is the nervous system of a democracy. If it's not functioning well, the democracy can't function." -- Jeff Cohen Despite it's criticism, Wikileaks is one of the most responsible tools of journalism in our generation. It's important to understand just how important of a role the media plays in our society. News organizations are responsible for shaping the way we view political candidates, many of whom we will never get to meet or observe directly. They are the ones we elect into off...

Mahmoud Ahmedinijad is not wrong to not listen to the U.S.'s request that they stop making nukes

abard124
InquireTruth

I am in no way endorsing Mahmoud Ahmedinijad. He is a horrible extremist, and he is a very hateful person. However, I have no problem with his nuclear weapons program. Let me clarify. I am against every nuclear weapons program in the world. I hate nukes, however, I don't hate Ahmedinijad's program any more or less than the rest, which brings me to my first point. If you and your friend were both smokers, and neither of you were trying to quit, what would you think if your friend told you to q...
