The USA should establish a Single-Payer Health Care System

Contra
bluesteel

Round 1 is for acceptance. Good luck.

Single Payer Health Care:

Single-payer national health insurance is a system in which a single public or quasi-public agency organizes health financing, but delivery of care remains largely private. Under a single-payer system, all Americans would be covered for all medically necessary services, including: doctor, hospital, preventive, long-term care, mental health, reproductive health care, dental, vision, prescr...

Abortion is a woman's decision

rross
MouthWash

I never had an intense opinion about abortion until I came on this site. But now, everywhere I look, there's men yapping about abortion. Get your faces out of it! This is a matter for women, because women are the ones who get pregnant and bear children.

The rules of this debate are as follows.

My opponent has the burden of proof. He has to prove that men should have some power over the decision (or rights) to abort.

Of course, nobody...

Official Debate Tournament: Badger is a Retard/Troll

Sieben
badger

Badger and I are due to debate some issue for the debate tournament. I have told Badger I am an anarcho capitalist and he cannot formulate a resolution to clash with this position. Since he is not an anarcho capitalist himself, he should have no problem.

Since he cannot formulate a resolution, I am left to conclude that badger is a mental retard or troll.

My burden in this debate is to prove that badger regularly engages in (intentionally) incoherant and moronic behavi...

Gay marriage is unnatural

MENGXINPEI
Beginner

Some people said that gay marriage was unnatural. They said that marriage was natural only between a man and a woman, because of the reproduction. A man should get married with a woman and they have a baby.That is a natural relationship. THAT's NOT TRUE. As we all known, a woman could not have a baby later than about 51 years old, because of the amenorrhea. They still can get married with a man if they want. Why is a homosexual couple not allowed to get married? It is not unnatural....

Hoteliers should have the right to refuse the custom of undesirable guests

brian_eggleston
GenesisCreation

If a couple of stinking, flea-bitten tramps find a big wad of cash under a bush and decide to check-in to the Hotel de Posh for the night, it is likely that the hotel staff would turn them away. Why? Well, because the sight of two vagabonds scoffing big plates of grub in the hotel's opulent restaurant or supping copious amounts of booze in the cocktail lounge is likely to deter other guests from spending money in those facilities, and their presence might also damage the hotel's reputation. S...

Napoleon v. Washington

16kadams
Nur-Ab-Sal

time: 1812 (Yes I know Washington was not in control then). I argue if there was a war AT THIS TIME in the US (assuming Washington controlled the military) would win. Factors taken out: Britain is not in the US at this time, ignore that war. We are assuming instead Napoleon was the invader of 1812 instead. No semantics trolling etc. 1st round acceptance. I argue Washington wins....

imabench

Okay! Here is the rematch to the some-what popular debate, Bronies are Homosexual.

All arguments are extended from the last debate.

I would like to ask Imabench to post his last argument in the last debate in Round 1 to make it a bit easier for me to respond in round 2.

For those who have not seen the last debate here is the link http://www.debate.org/debates/Bronies-are-Homosexual/1/
