Should students be required to use technology in school?
I feel that technology has no place in a classroom environment. My reasoning is that students who use technology in class such as, calculators, tablets, and computers tend to become me easily distracted. My first contention is that with tablets, comes a distraction. According to www.procon.org, 87% of K-12 teachers believe that "today"s digital technologies are creating an easily distracted generation with short attention spans" Because students can become easily distracted, they would be missi...

Gay Marriage
Gay marriage should be legal in all countries worldwide. The subject is often debated, but why debate? What about gay marriage is even malicious in any form? There is freedom of religion. There is freedom all around. Marijuana, tobacco, alcohol: all legal, but accompanied by horrible repercussions. Smoking affects people around the one doing so, but gay marriage? What horrible repercussions does gay marriage carry? None. The people affected by a gay marriage only become uncomfortable. If one is...
The Future is Bright
The first round is just for acceptance and to clarify the debate. The topic is this: the next two will be better than any other in history for the human race. People will live longer, be happier, and generally have a better time than ever before. The human race will not drive itself into extinction,another dark age, or any other generally unpleasant situation, but will instead innovate and improve living standards. Of course, I'm expecting that many will have strong arguments against this, so...

The earth is probably less than 10,000 years old.
In this debate, Pro will argue the evidence that the earth is younger than 10,000 years, and Con will argue the evidence that the earth is older than 10,000 years. The debate is to be determined by the preponderance of evidence. Years are taken as units of time in the conventional sense as presently measured, not in an allegorical or poetic sense.The claim that the earth is less than 10,000 years old is part of Young Earth Creationism (YEC). In this debat...

Can the human race get along as a whole?
We as a whole cannot seem to agree on just about anything. Between wars and greed we are consumed. With either destroying ourselves or polluting the planet. If we were visited by a hostile alien race we would war with ourselves to decide who is in charge. They wouldn't even have to fire a shot we would do it for them....
Is there any proof that God exists?
Although I used to be a Christian, I'm pretty set on my beliefs that God does not exist. However, I want to hear from a Christian to see if they have any proof that God exists. I do not believe that the Bible is a valid example of proof. Some of the reasons for my disbelief in God: 1. When I was going through hard times, I began to doubt God. Being a Christian at the time, I did everything I could think to do so I could save my faith. I fasted, read my Bible daily, and constantly prayed, asking...
