The outcome of the Ramos and Compean case
To give the voters a little background in the Ramos and Compean case two border patrol agents were tried for shooting a drug smuggling illegal alien as he crossed the border.

The late-night metro rail does more harm than good.
The late-night metro rail does more harm than good and here is why: 1)It leads to more kidnaps. For example what if you is on the metro rail by yourself, maybe at, 1:00 in the morning and nobody is around but one stranger.

Debate.org's "coming soon" additions will be a good thing.
I am against the new additions debate.org claims they will be launching soon. Thus, the polar opposite of my stance will have to be that the additions are good things, something I think most members will agree on, but I'll remind you that your personal opinions are not the standard of your voting, but which debater proved their point better. If you feel the need to justify your anonymous vote, you can do so in the comments area. Now to my points. Here are the additions that will be put up on...
