This house would support streaming in high schools

Streaming in high schools is often quick to provoke prejudice from students and teachers alike. It has been proven that students, if placed in a lower stream, can start to suffer academically. A test was held where a group of students with mixed academic ability were split randomly into groups. Some were told that they were in higher classes and others were told that they were in a bottom class. Though these students were split randomly, what they had been told slowly became true; those who were...

It is not okay to be an adult over the age of 25, and still live at home for no legitimate reason!

There is absolutely no reason for any grown adult in general, male or female, to live at home under their parents roof, with their parents financially supporting them. There is no reason that they cannot simply go out each day and apply for any and all job opportunities and move out. I can understand if you are a young adult, still figuring your life out and needing a few extra years at home...

Mitt Romney would have made a better president than Obama

I would like to argue that former president elect Mitt Romney would have made a better president than current president Barrack Obama. There will be four rounds, the first for acceptance, the second for opening arguments, the third for rebuttals and the fourth for concluding arguments. The burden of proof is shared, this is my second debate so my skills may not be to sharp, good luck to whomever my opponent may be!...

Death penalty should be supported.

The United Nations in 2008 banned the use of the death penalty, however fifty-eight countries, including the United States and China, still exercise the death penalty. As such, the topic remains highly controversial. I believe that some criminals lost their human faces while they made chain of serious crimes and there's no other punishment for them but death penalty....
