Only you can prevent wildfires.
Ah, the infamous Smokey the Bear and his illogical and unrealistic expectations. Nary an American born citizen exists who cannot recall from memory the baritone plea, "Only you can prevent forest fires." As though this unreasonable expectation weren't enough, his current motto is now, "Only you can prevent wildfires." It's not enough that you are responsible to save the forest, but the grasslands are your sole responsibility as well. I am firmly against Smokey's motto. I disagree that only yo...
Human cannibalism is morally wrong.
I disagree with the belief that cannibalism is morally wrong. In round one we will agree on anything that needs clarifying, agree to not rely on semantics, and to be civil. In the continuing rounds we will debate. Arguments will not be presented until round two. Human cannibalism is the eating of one human by another human. For the purposes of our debate we will focus on dead humans. I look forward to a good debate....
izbo10 is an Idiot and a Troll
My Opponent Exists.
I think the debate's title is pretty self-explanatory. I'm trying to affirm the idea that my opponent exists; whoever accepts is attempting to negate whatever reasoning I choose to put forth. Round one is merely an introduction; arguments will begin in the second round. So yeah, best of luck to whoever accepts....
Resolved: Mario wouldn't win a fight against Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic would win in a fight hands down. point 1: Sonic has faster reflexes. It's what he is known for. Mario has no actual ability. point 2: Ever since the beginning of sonic, he has had the ability to become invincable when aquiring the emeralds and becoming Super Sonic. point 3: Sonic has a friend for just about any task that can't be accomplished, and I won't even bring them personally into the argument, but they could do stuff for sonic before the fight had sarted. It's easy to...

Dear Spf thank you for taking this argument as you know hitler came back from the dead in order to make a third reich out of radio active waste and then made monsters out of that nuclear waste which ressurrected Mel Gibson from the dead in order ot make a film that would have about 1 billion people watching it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_passion_of_the_christ...

When CON points out a contradiction, PRO may use all of the following rounds to defend t...
It's nearly impossible to win a one round debate.
No matter what I say in the first round, it opens up for one quick counter argument and no chances at rebuttal. There's the off chance that the opponent fails to read the topic appropriately but those are fairly rare. Largely the only person who would take such a debate is somebody who has thought of some clever way to counter the original argument. For example, this debate might be countered with various claims and accusations and I would be powerless to rebut those claims and thus lose....
Vote bombing is an abuse of the voting system on Debate.org.
I affirm the above resolution. This first round will be for definitions and facts only; no conclusions or arguments. Vote bombing - An action taken by members of Debate.org who make their votes on debates based off of information not pertinent to the debate at hand. Also, "when a user (often times with multiple accounts) maliciously votes down all seven points to all of a rival's open debates." http://debatefans.com/articles/thedebateorgdictionary.html Abuse - improper or excessive us...
