A debate on a certain controversy

LR4N6FTW4EVA
Patrick_Henry

Okay, the exact resolution is "Patrick_Henry is being childish and counterproductive in his actions against a certain group on debate.org" This group is of course the so-called "voting block" that actually isn't a voting block. The debate in which he does this is here:http://www.debate.org/debate/5454/ Don't forget to look at the comments. He commits libel, and calls this group a voting block, and its members "A literal band of teenagers, foolishly set in the political views without any l...

The upcoming Debate.org forum should start with no more than 5 boards.

In the past I have tried to join multiple forums, only to stop posting in them because of lack of activity. The Debate.org forum has a lot of potential to be moderately active, but they can mess things up by having too many boards. As I type this there are 13 users online. That's usually around the peak, and shows that we don't have a large user base to mess around with. If the forum were to be split into more than 5 boards, I'll list my ideas for specific boards in another round, the post...

Are electric cars good?

This should be a good one. My argument is no, I'm against it. Electric Cars simply just make the buyer feel 'good' about creating less emmisons. But how did they get the power to charge that car? It was fossil fuels, which were burned. Another con is the fact that they're small. Because of their size, they're not very safe, making them a hazard to drive. There are also limited recharging places on the open road. Because of these reasons...

Debate.org should not have to confirm people's identity with phone.

1dustpelt
vmpire321

Debate.org requires people to use a mobile phone to confirm their identity. 1. Debate.org already confirms using email. 2. Some people do not have a mobile phone, so therefore you are limiting the right to vote to only those who have mobile phones? I am not allowed to vote because I do not have a mobile phone. How fair is that?...

Teenagers Should Have Unlimited Access to Computers and The Internet

My view is that teenagers (13+) should have unlimited, but monitored access to the internet. By monitored, I mean that parents can view activity for anything dangerous/illegal, but beside from that, they are allowed to freely browse. I will let my opponent begin the debate....

Hacking? Who has hacked or wanted to learn to hack? Is it a crime? What really is a "hacker" Technically, a hacker is someone who is enthusiastic about computer programming. But what about "crackers" Crackers are people who try to gain unauthorized access to computers. This is normally done through the use of a 'backdoor' program installed on your machine. A lot of crackers also try to gain access to resources through the use of password cracking software, which tries billions of passwords to fi...
