Teens should be allowed to buy and play 'M' rated Games?

J_Michael234
Babeslayer

Studies show that most teenagers will use violent and M-Rated games to vent anger(1). This is a positive way to vend unlike some teens that may drink, smoke, or cause physical damage to others. 2 thirds of boys play M-Rated games regularly and over 1 fourth of girls will play M-Rated games on a regular basis. Therefore, kid prefer M rated games and use them a mental stress and anger reducers....

Citizens Should Be Permitted To Own Guns

ufcryan
LaL36

For this debate, both parties must assume the following:

1. There is NO second amendment.
2. There is NO threat of a tyrannical government.
3. There are NO rights for a citizen to hunt.
4. Guns are not needed for defense against animals.
5. A blanket gun ban would work (criminals would not smuggle guns across the border).

Obviously not all of these assumptions are true, but we can assume they are for the sake of an argument. Now the only reasons t...

Definition - Utilitarianism The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, or the Greatest Happiness Principle, holds...

Affirmative assertions 3: Schools did not know how to transport kids from other neighborhoods to different schools in oth...

Philosophy: Nihilism will degrade mankind.

FeioH-Niplef
Diirez

Nihilism is the philosophy that life is meaningless and there is no such thing as "morals". Presumably, this may be the ultimate form of Atheism, having Atheism deny the existence of a God/Deity.

Before we continue on the matter relating Atheism and Nihilism, I will define my view of "God" (I am implying I am a believer). God is more of a concept than it is a physical entity. Loss of faith in God may result from the lack of proof or a loss of moral direction. Having God being a...

Changing gas prices accordingly to citizen travel frequency

FeioH-Niplef
ClassicRobert

It is clearly obvious that there is a commonplace issue with gas prices. Undoubtedly, drivers are always unsettled to the price per-gallon of gas they have to pay when stopping to refuel. For this reason there is controversy over gas price regulation. However, gas prices should be regulated accordingly to citizen seasonal travels.

Assertion #2: Desegregated school system, judge should be able to tell parents where their children must attend school. Evidence: Judge's plan; kids to leave their neighborhoods. Not all schools are quality. Going back to neighborhood schools is segregated. Assertion #3: Race should be used as a b...

Courts have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools

Claryyxo
ValeryJ

Assertion #1: I believe that courts should have the responsibility to create racially balanced schools. In Boston public schools were segregated by race, and the only way to desegregate them was by the court-odder in 1947 that made busses transfer the kids to other school. Blacks and whites were not happy with this decision, and if they were not forced to do it, they would have never done it willingly. There are a lot of benefits to having racially balanced schools; one is that everybody get...
