Deep Space Nine was the best star Trek show.

BennyW
calculatedr1sk

I will be arguing that overall, Deep Space Nine (from now on abbreviated as DS9) was the best Star Trek. My opponent may argue that any of the others were better but cannot rely solely on one movie (for example using Wrath of Khan to prove the original series was the best). The first round is for acceptance. Good luck and may the best nerd win....

courts have the responsibilty to create racially balanced schools.

1)Negative assertion: In 1974 court ordered busing wasn"t the only strategy that could have desegregated Boston"s public schools. Other options would be to give other options and more choices. Where you live is your choice so schools aren"t segregated by law. These options would cause less violence. 2)Negative assertion: Students and society will not benefit from more children attending racially integrated schools. The surveys may not be right. This may only work in a poor community. Some...

Affirmative assertion: In 1974 court ordered busing was the only strategy that could have desegregated Boston's public schools. Neighborhoods were segregated by the race and children went to neighborhood schools. Even though Boston built new schools they were still segregated. Everything just got worst in Boston and even after the law said schools had to be. Affirmative assertion: To create a desegregated school system; a judge should be able to tell parents where their children must attend sc...

Should Native American Mascots be Banned from sports teams?

niltiac
hcps-landrumce

Well, many believe that the Native American mascots are racist &/or offending. I, for one, am not native american but I duly believe it would be an honor to have a professional sports team representing your race/nationality. I understand the other side's opinion when many say that some logos or mascot names such as the logo for the Cleveland Indians logo or the term "redskin". However, just these small adjustments can be made without having to revoke the whole idea of having a Native American cu...

America is NOT obese.

CierraNicole
Chaotic_Neutral

Everybody says that America is a country full of obese slobs, correct? I don't believe that to be true. I walk down the street every day, and through my school every day, and I hardly see any overweight people at all. Sure, there are some kids who could do with a diet, but that doesn't make all of America fat. Does it?...

School uniforms should be required

f3ffy
niltiac

Clothing is one of the best ways for kids to express themselves, and with guidlines and rules, students are able to be themselves without being distracting. It's not fair limiting kid's closet because of uncomfortable uniforms, which could actually hurt one's education, because it may not be comfortable enough for the student to be able to pay attention. Uniforms are too strict.

Should we put a ban to animal testing?

colonjavi123
ksandner

I am con against Animal testing because as a human we have freedom and choice. Also animals have the right to live, and the right to choose. But is it right to take the freedom or the life of animals just because we want to research and test new medicines? NO. It's not right to kill and make them suffer just for our own benefit. Animals have emotions. They have thoughts, ideas, feelings. They also suffer. If we just kill and make them suffer, we are taking the freedom and the life of other anima...
