3 Items found at Wal Mart that will best kill a velociraptor
Greetings to all. I mean this to be a fun debate. Its goal is clear. What we will do is determine three items found at Wal Mart that would be able to kill a Velociraptor. The scenario is that you (and I) have been trapped by a hungry velociraptor in a closed Wal Mart (with the lights on). One of has has to kill it with our best choices of Wal Mart items. Velocraptor - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velociraptor We shall each divulge one idea/item a post. You can have the item stand...
I can not prove that I exist.
My opponent made the claim, "I can not prove that I exist." I would like her to defend this statement. This will be a two round debate, starting in round 2. Round 1 will be used for definitions. Definitions: Exist (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Exist) 1 a : to have real being whether material or spiritual <did unicorns exist> <the largest galaxy known to exist> b : to have being in a specified place or with respect to understood limitations or conditions <strange ideas ex...
All knowledge is founded on faith - 2
This debate has a numerical suffix in the resolution to distinguish it from my first debate on this subject. (http://www.debate.org/debates/All-knowledge-if-founded-on-faith./1/). ----- The term faith has many contextual uses, but for my purposes, I refer to the following definition: Faith: Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. [1] The term faith, insofar as this debate is concerned, is synonymous to belief. The resolution can therefore be properly understo...

The death Penalty should still stand.
I think that the Death Penalty should stay. I do not believe that it is right to let a murderer stay in prison living off of tax dollars for the rest of his life. I believe that the penalty should only be used on people they have hard evidence on so they can avoid executing the wrong person. If the death penalty stayed, there would be less crimes in and outside of jail. Criminals would be afraid to kill someone fearing for their lives. Does anyone object?...
Pick your own debate - 1G
f you have participated or read any of these types of debates before, then this one should be no different. However, for those who haven't: ROUND 1: This obviously includes this opening introduction and rules. For my opponent, he/she will post 3 topics (clarify them if you could) he/she wishes to debate, and then post his/her position on each of the topics. Please try to add a mix of subjects. Have some deal with religion, others with politics, others with art, others with social issues, etc....

When people are talking about morality, they are attempting to convince someone to take or not to take an action (and when they are thinking about it, deciding whether to take an action). Advocating something makes no sense if you do not wish to achieve something by it....
I am real.
I am not real, prove otherwise to the members of this site and you win. For the purposes of this debate: - real is defined as "being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory" - proof is defined as "a formal series of statements showing that if one thing is true something else necessarily follows from it"...
In the Year 2012, the world will not end.
I affirm. Definitions: 2012: 12/21/12. Supposedly, that's when the world will end. Clarification: In the year 2012, the world wouldn't end. Contention 1: In the past people believed the world will end on a certain day. Well a vast majority of this didn't happen. For examples: 6/6/06 didn't happen. In the year of 2000 the world didn't end. So in the year 2012 the world will not end. Contention 2: We are using the Georgian Calendar. Only the Mayan Calendar says in 2012 the world wil...
The following sentence is True. The preceding sentence is False.
To win this debate my opponent must tell whether each of these sentences are either true or false. I believe there is no way to tell whether either of these sentences are true or false when in combination with one another. (A) When these sentences are combined, they are formed together to make a paradox. A paradox is an assertion that is essentially self-contradictory, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises (1). (B) These sentences will also just go in a loop and you ca...
