Bradley Manning. Traitor.

ararmer1919
chrumbelievable

I saw your question about Bradley Manning and I would very much like to have a debate with you. This would be strictly me vs you. The debate would be on wether or not Bradley Manning is a traitor to his county's or if he's some kind of hero of whatever you people call him. I of course will be taking the stance of him being a traitor to the nation. 5 rounds, 1st round is acceptance, final round is conclusion, you nay use any argument you see fit for your case, avoid personal insults and all the o...

"Marijuana, Cocaine and even Heroin Should be Legalized." -Ron Paul

I'm going to pull a Ron Paul here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtNc-IFJPU0 Structure: R1) Acceptance, Analysis, Structure and Rules R2) Opening arguments R3) Rebuttals and Conclusions Analysis: Let's keep this to only to the philosophical basis for the role of government in people's lives -not about the impact of drug use, why drugs are bad, etc. That drug use is harmful to the body is not in dispute. The issue of contention for this debate is whether the government has a right...

The debate will precede as follows, the first round will be acceptation and brief statement of views on topic. (1-3 sentences) The second round is where both sides will put up their main argument (at least 2 paragraphs) You may not rebut what your opponent said in rounds 1 and 2 during the second round. Round 3 will be the rebuttals and closing arguments. Swearing is not allowed. Sources must be cited. Best of luck to my opponent.

Welfare

Yeshua
Risen

I don't agree with giving free money by government means. Charity should be by choice not by force. Yes I do sympathize those who are in need and in my life I have put in the effort to help another in their trouble and I have notice I am not the only one so instead of system of good intention that is imperfect and deceptive in many ways, allow the people to show their goodness and to show that there is no need for the government welfare...

Gay people should be allowed to marry each other

David.McIntosh
Illegalcombatant

I would also like to state, I thank Con in advance for the debate and hop we both bave fun!

It is my belief that marraige has nothing to do with sexual orientation, and that not allowing them to marry, as many would, is no different to the discrimination black people and other minorities have faced in the past.

It harms no one, and they should be allowed to marry if they wish.

Resolved: Hitler vs Justin Bieber

After doing thorough research I have failed to find a single debate that addresses the issue of who is more evil, Hitler or Justin Bieber? This is an issue that millions of people ask themselves every day, and it is apalling that this topic has not been debated here on DDO. After making this discovery I realized that as the head troll of the site it is my sworn duty to bring this legendary debate ready to happen into fruition, and I will be...
