Horse Slaughter

Horse Slaughter in the U.S. was so much better for the horses, a quick pin through the brain and it was over. Now, they're either starving to death in dirt lots because no one can feed them, or they're being shipped to Mexico or Canada....

Wet Feet Dry Feet Act of 1994

Well I believe that the Wet Feet Dry Feet Act (circa 1994) was a great way to show that their is some immigration justice to this world. For anyone that doesn't know what it is the act it is: • The United States agreed to no longer permit Cubans intercepted at sea to come to the United States; rather, Cubans would be placed in a safe haven camp in a third location. Justifying this policy as a "safety of life at sea" issue, Cuba also agreed to use "persuasive methods" to discourage people from...

Don't you think the Boston Bombing was over hyped?

First of all, I understand and acknowledge that the Boston bombing was a terrible event which never should have occurred. But don't you ever stop and think that a big deal is being made out of something substantially smaller? People were even thinking this could be compared to 9/11. On the same day 42 people die in an earthquake in Iraq. But does that receive even a tenth of what the Boston bombings received. No. This can't be defended....

I believe abortion is wrong because abortion is not some women got raped or something and doesn't want to be reminded of it for nine months most of the time it is some one got pregnant and did not want to be so they kill the child for their mistake I wish a good debate to my opponent but I just don't see how you can agree with killing a child and taking it from its life just because the parents don't want it they are not disposable and abortion is not birth control and even if a women is raped i...

Fox news is not a reliable station and spreads propaganda

My opponent can either make the first arguments or accept and let me argue first. However if he makes his/her arguments first he/she will not be allowed to argue in the last round in order to ensure we both have the same number of rounds. Definitions: Reliable 1. To be depended on for accuracy and honesty Propaganda 1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. 2. the deliberate spreading of such inf...

should women be allowed to be in war???

There's something instinctive in most men, I think, that makes them protect women - that instinct isn't trained out of them and it doesn't bode well for a war situation. A man would like to jump for a grenade for a female more then a man. We wouldn't improve our US army if women where involved. If women are allowed to go into war, then it would take us a lot of more training to have the men of the military be able to sacrifice a women. Plus, there are many less women in the world then men, which...
