To be against the right to possess a fire arm is to be, unwittingly, against self defense.
I believe that self defense is the most fundamental and essential right. If an individual is restrained from defending himself, his family, his community, or his country, he is left with absolutely no rights whatsoever. Without life, there are no rights! If a compendium of rights are agreed to and protected by law, but the right to self defense is absent, then the list of rights however long and valuable in themselves are voided by the first creep that chooses to relieve you of those rights....
The Race Debate
Basically this debate will focus on a couple of the many issues this country faces with regards to race. I will list them and indicate my generalized position on the matter. If you have an opposing view then lets debate. 1. Affirmative Action: I am not in favor 2. Racial Profiling: Exists, but often times explainable as simply law of statistics 3. Slavery Reparation Money: Absurd, not in favor Obviously other issues or points of discussion may arise and I am in favor of discussing just abo...
The drinking age lowered
Con Drinking during the adolescent years is very harmful to the brain. Studies have proved that a young person's brain does not stop developing until their early 20s, and sometimes until their mid 20s. Adding alcohol to the mix can be very harmful because adolescents are more vulnerable to the effects of alcohol than older adults. Alcohol affects all parts of the brain including coordination, emotional control reasoning and many other things. Alcohol also interrupts hormones needed by minors fo...
The national motto of the United States should be changed.
2 Round Debate 72 Hour Rounds 8,000 Character Limit 2 Week Voting Period ====== Resolved, That the motto of the U.S. should be changed.

This healthcare proposal is better than any healthcare proposal my opponent can come up with.
=== Definitions === Are they really needed? === Proposal/Arguments === 1) Allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. To me, this seems pretty common sense. Currently, if you operate a health insurance business in New York, you can't offer you insurance to those who live in Florida, or California, or any other state. This is crazy! If their is a good health insurance company that just so happens to operate in New York, why should the people of Florida suffer for being...
Fascism and her 'Institutes'
Some may question the "AUTHENTICITY" and "ORIGINALITY" of this argument ... it is in full faith a 'traditional', 'moving', AND 'AUTHENTIC' piece of 'ORIGINAL' work ... so to that note ... let the debate (opposition) to such explanation and defense begin! * * * * * * * This is a 'debate' of 'Unjust Hatred' (The poison and vile repute of an unjust hatred) [That which is against 'Inclusiveness'] Fascism and her 'Institutes of Evil' on the future and the development of society, believes nei...
Implementing some form of Universal Healthcare in the United States would be beneficial
I assert that implementing some form of universal healthcare would be beneficial for the U.S. government and citizens. Universal healthcare in the United States would encourage citizens to take preventative measures towards ailments, save our country trillions of dollars on healthcare, reduce mortality rates, and create a national database of citizens' medical records for easier access by health providers to medical history across the country (Messerli). I will let my opponent begin this debate....
Drug legalization
I intend to here debate any opponent to drug legalization, with particular emphasis on marijuana, although I am willing to debate on any drug. I will now commence opening arguments. 1). Personal liberty. Drug use is a personal choice, and as long as users do not infringe on the well-beings of others, it should not be illegal as a personal, albeit sometimes unhealthy, choice. 2). Gang use. The majority of gang revenue comes from the production and sale of illegal drugs. Should we make the...
The proletariat have the right to roam the countryside.
Comrades living in the capitalist West will be all too familiar with the many laws that the decadent ruling classes have introduced to preserve their privileged positions in society - often oppressing the masses by denying them their birth rights as citizens in the process. One example of this type of perverse legislation is the assumption in law that the landed gentry, parasitic aristocrats, fat-cat farmers and other filthy-rich property owners have the right to "sole enjoyment" of their lan...
