It is unethical to buy an SUV
Thank you for joining this debate, First I will state my points, SUVs are harmful to the environment. SUVs use a lot of gas, more than most other cars, so there is more gas emissions and contributes to global warming like two regular cars. >> SUV owners collectively paid almost $9 billion – $350 each – more for gasoline in 2002 in the United States than they would if SUVs were as fuel-efficient as the average car. This translates into 151 million extra barrels of oil consumed in the U...
TV is unnessecary to a child's life
1) TV is bad for health. Once they start watching TV, they get hooked on and do not see the time fly by. The brain is more shutdown when watching TV than when people are sleeping. Because they waste all their time, they do not have enough time to exercise. They would think that TV is a much better entertainment than exercise. Also, many people start eating junk food when watching TV. This creates obesity. Most homes in America have TV's and they are a factor to why America has the largest obesit...
Global warming
Everyday millions of BTUs of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere. Because of these greenhouse gases, global warming is occurring. Global warming is the theory that the earth is getting hotter due to greenhouse gases, the ice caps in Antarctica are melting rapidly, tornadoes and hurricanes are getting stronger IE Katrina. Temperatures across the globe will rise and droughts will occur. Global warming is occurring due to various human activity, such as using oil in cars, factories,...
A Tournament System on debate.org should be implemented.
First of all, I would just like to point out that this is more of an attempt to get the word out than actually debating an issue. I would not mind if it stayed in debate challenges for a long time because I would still be getting the word out. However, if someone is to challenge me, I would consider the voting after the two rounds as being if you think it would be a good idea and who convinced you of that. I would appreciate comments on the bottom of the debate. Now... to prove why I think this...
The Wii is better than the PS3!!
Wii has better games, features, and sells more! Not to mention its by NINTENDO, the first people, besides Atari, to make a system! Sony's PS3 has sold terribly, and will continue to Advantage 1: Games Wii has better games. Titles like Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros Brawl, Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Resident Evil 4, Warioware Smooth Moves, and the upcoming Mario Kart Wii prove this. PS3 doesn't have NEARLY this amount, and i barely said...
Resolved: Debate.org should feature a catagory of debate called 'debate.org'
To make this perfectly clear, the catagories I am talking about are under the 'debate' tab at the top of your screen. The catagories currently are: All Arts Business Education Entertainment Health News Politics Regional Science Sports Technology There are few reasons why this should be added. 1. There are numerous amounts of debates on this site, about this site, but there is no clear place to put these debates. It would be clear where to put it, and would not create any confus...

Nintendo is the greatest game developer out there
When you think of games, what do you think of? Master Chief, Sonic the hedgehog, pac-man, and Rayman are answers for some people. However, most people would say "Mario," More people know Mario than Mickey Mouse, and Mario has become a phenomenon. From his 2D games, such as Super Mario World, to his revolutionary 3D platformers, like Super Mario Galaxy, Mario has had some of the greatest games created. But the company behind Mario, Nintendo hasn't just created the Mario masterpiece. They created...
Mario is better than Sonic.
I have to say Mario is better than Sonic because first of all Mario can fly, shoot fire balls, and has a sweet ride. All sonic does is run around and changes into a ball. I don't see sonic flying or shooting fire balls!...
I will not win the upcoming tournament on this site.
First let me say that ny position is that I can not win the tournament. With that said, here are my reasons why: 1. I have little experience; a more experienced or smarter debater could eaisly beat me. 2. In debates, I frequently make unwarranted claims and hope something sticks. Most of my arguments are hard to read and pointless. 3. Me han conocido para discutir en español. 4. There are WAY better debaters than me, and I will likely lose the first round to Logical-Master. 5. Me...
