I will not break a rule.
These debates are fun. I would like to thank wjmelements before proceeding. 0. By accepting this debate, my opponent agrees to all the rules already posted. 1.

A violation of a rule that is not null and void will result in the rule-breaker losing this debate. 4. With the exception of my first round, a...
Gun Rights
Think about the death rate that there is in many of the states in the united states. Now how many are from gun shots. I want you to imagine this, someone in your family had went to a neighbors house then about 12 hours later you have a police officer at your door tlling you that your family member was in a shooting. There are only two reasons why you would own a hand gun and that would be to kill someone. This debate will be based on 2 things which are: (1) Cultural (2) Protective Reasoning...

Gaming is underrated.
In order to completely understand this debate we have to look at it from the opposing side. As in the others who are just really ignorant to video games.
