Voting

Debate.org should promote debtors to insult each other.
Insulting each other in a moderate way was always at the core of a debate.
Most of viva voice debates I attend as soon as my opposition realize they can't win the argument in a clean way turn into a dirty way, and they declare me a stupid guy which is not worth listening.
Declaring your opposition stupid is part or the art of debating, and we should be able to do it online as well.
There are no rule in this debate, but to pres...

The qualification of 'non-arbitrary' says that there exist fixed and compelling reasons to call some behaviors decidedly and concretely immoral....
1=1 always

Is pop music making our country less creative?
I wish my opponent luck with this debate. I believe that pop music, (Rap, Hip-hop, Pop, ect.) is making our country Dumber, and dumber.
