Taxes Should Not Exist in the United States
Until recently, I would've assumed that my stance on this issue would've been unanimously agreed upon by all sane individuals. However, recently I've come across various profiles on this site of people who claim that they're against taxes. One person claimed on his profile that he's against taxes because "taxes are stealing." Aside from the fact that taxes are necessary for our government to even exist (let alone function), the government isn't "stealing" when it taxes its citizens. As a univ...
Abortion
Abortion is murder and it should be illegal. There is no excuse for an abortion there are many alternatives too them, one example would be adoption. I would say that the ONLY reason why there should to be an abortion is in case the baby is acting as a cancer and its killing the mother, but that should be the last resort. I will await for my opponents arguments...

Democracy would be better if all citizens did not have an equal vote
I propose that the weight of a citizen or subject's vote in an election or referendum should be proportional to their interest in and understanding of the issues. I believe it is clear that the greater an individual's knowledge of a topic, the more valuable their opinion is. I believe it is also clear that the greater an individual's knowledge of a topic, the less likely it is that they can be swayed by biased media or advertising. I await my opponent's arguments....

Communism is possible
The idea of Communism in this debate, is a society in which Bourgeoisie and Proletariat no longer exist, and only people, no longer identified through monetary or social value, are left. The idea of government (Government defined as a selective ruling body that decides how people should live; no matter how involved the citizens, it is defined as this) has been abolished. People dictate their own lives....
L. Paul Bremer messed up Iraq
The civilian administrator of Iraq, L. Paul Bremer III, is responsible for much of the sectarian bloodshed and that occurred in Iraq after the invasion as well as the slow reconstruction of the country. By the way, that's what I mean by "messed up." Good luck to whoever accepts. The first argument should be more of an opening statement, seeing as I have presented little to rebut so far....
