The American invasion of Afghanistan is justifiable.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, I would like to first thank my opponent for joining me here today/tonight for this debate and any onlookers for partially judging this debate. I would also like to eventually thank any voters who vote for me in this debate. Now my points: 1) After the 9/11 attacks the U.S. was fully justified to attack Afghanistan because it was an act of self-defence. There was viable proof that Afghanistan harbored several terrorists that conspired in the 9/11 plot, the...
Pleasant Grove City vs. Summum (a first amendment case)
If my opponent or any readers is not familiar with this case, they may cut and paste this link and pick their sources. <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=pleasant+grove+city+v.+summum&aq=5&oq=pleasant+grove> I side with Pleasant Grove City, and pick the con label because the current ruling (from the 10th circuit in the US court of appeals) sides with Summum. The case concerns the right of Pleasant Grove City to display the ten commandments in a public area (Pioneer Park), while denying Sum...
It is morally permissible to kill Nelson Mandela to save the lives of innocent orphans.
This debate is inspired by the forthcoming LD debate: "It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to save the lives of more innocent people" but I don't know how to do LD debate (and I'm too lazy to learn) so please forgive my self-indulgence in pursuing a less formal interpretation of the topic. Picture the scene, if you will. It is a fine day in South Africa and Nelson Mandela is at the controls of his Ziviko Edge 540 single-seater stunt plane. All is well and he is heading home...

Public bathrooms
Pooping in public is bad form. When someone poops their pants, or drops their drawers in the middle of a crowd and pokes the turtle head, it is not socially acceptable behavior. Who dares to oppose this position? Harumph! Harumph, I say!...
Deport Illegal Immigrants who have Committed a Crime in the US?
I am for this because people in our country who have done something illegal should absolutely be returned to there home country and be prosecuted there. I believe this would be good so that we could lower the population in our jails and also keep illegalise out!...
Standards should be placed on orginizations that Have the word News in the Title
News, We have all seen this word and there is an integrity with it, However at current there are hundreds of "News" programs that are nothing but propaganda engines, churning out speculation and opinion rather than fact. We need to place standards on any "News" program to ensure that information is broadcast in a non biased way. I am not saying that we cannot have the biased shows, I am simply saying that opinion should not be touted as fact....
The press could be compromising the government's ability to protect the US
I frequently read articles like the recent Blog Network article: "U.S. Spies Want to Find Terrorists in World of Warcraft" By Ryan Singel [February 22, 2008, 2:15:43PM]; <http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/02/nations-spies-w.html> which report to the world, terrorists and all, known or suspected methods of our government to thwart terrorist activity. Unless it is somehow beneficial to our security agencies for the press to inform the public of such activities, the press could be compromising...
