Is Modeling Really an Art?
1) Modeling is not an art because it does not involve any skill. Let me explain. Models are chosen based on looks which they are born with but they do not necessarily have to practice having those looks. Models have won a "genetic lottery" that fits the Modeling Industry's ideal of beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM4Xe6Dlp0Y 2) Merriam Webster defines art as: Noun a. The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in b. a visual form such as paintin...
Shakespeare's works should be abridged and enhanced to make them more enjoyable
Shakespeare may have written some quite good plays, but few would disagree that most of them are far too long and boring.
That’s why they should be edited and spiced up a bit at the same time. Here is an example of what I have in mind:

Poetry is nothing except underdeveloped fiction.
Good fiction (short stories, novels, any kind of story-telling, really) conveys philosophical, personal, emotional, historical and educational concepts. It also provides these within a framework of a story, which immerses the reader in the concepts in a way that would otherwise be impossible. Poetry, especially modern poetry, conveys some of the same concepts but it does so in a much shorter and often formless way. Often, it conveys nothing at all. I submit that people who write and read...
Rap music of the "gangsta" variety is degrading our society
I am not in favor of rap music and the gang culture that has emerged hand in hand with it. The true purpose of rap does not seem to be to create anything of beauty but instead to challenge, indeed, to pick a fight with the status quo of American society. In other words, it declares "we [i.e. the rappers] are going to say the most provoking things towards the status quo that we can imagine. What are YOU going to do about it?" While challenging the status quo is true of many forms of music, rap mu...
Amateur Poetry Debate
I would like to note that this is an amateur poetry debate. This is a debate for people who have no prior experience on writing poems and this is simply for fun. Although I can't stop someone from accepting this debate if they do already have experience as a writer, I would still greatly prefer more experienced writers to make their own poetry debates and challenge those wh...

Sonnet Challenge
There have been many, many "rap battles" on this site; I thought it'd make a nice change to have something more classical. In this debate, each opponent will attempt to make a sonnet based on his choice of one of four topics his opponent provides. The form is: abab, cdcd, efef, gg Ten syllables each line; some leeway in counting is permitted (e.g. "count'd" for "counted"), but if a debater relies too heavily on such tricks the S/G points should e taken away. In the first round, I ask...
Haiku Debate: Beauty
This debate is focusing on who can produce the more beautiful haiku, as decided by the voters. I do not want to become involved in a trash-talking Haiku battle. One haiku per round. My first haiku: Droplet Leaves the Bough Ripples Spread Upon the Steam A Beautiful Sound...
