I don't like the idea of having the death penalty in Australia and I think that it should never be allowed...

Feminism is morally good

Rodrack
BrandonButterworth

Understand feminism as a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights for women and morality as the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). Under this context, I will be arguing pro, which means I defend the case of feminism being morally good, as opposed to any ideology that enters in direct conflict with feminism....

Is world peace even possible, at all?

StraightWhiteMale
WheezySquash8

World peace is completly impossible. since the beginning of mankind we've had differences, it would not be possible in any way to maintain religion, pondering about life or even going to a sports game without eventually starting a war over one another's opinions. We can not live in constant peace and have constant gratitude towards everyone with 7 billion men, women and children without having conflicts between nationalities. There's always crazy people out there who want to cause trouble and co...

A while ago you commented on my profile asking to debate something. I challenged you to another debate similar to the one in question however you failed to accept, or you declined. The outline for this debate is that same sex marriage does not and should not offend anyone more than a man and a woman choosing to marry. I bid you good luck upon accepting the debate....

To violent video games contribute to violence in our youth?

InFamous
gt4o2007

Welcome; Today I would like to debate a subject that has become very controversial in today's modern society: Violent Video Games. With all the violence and tragedies in today's society, many look for answers and solutions, such as what to blame for all of this violence, and many turn to violent video games. Now, I am no extreme "gamer" but I do own an Xbox 360 gaming console and do enjoy playing video games that are what most would say to be violent, such as the first person shooter series "...

In general, Sonic Customers should not feel obligated to tip Sonic servers

Logical-Master
ConservativePolitico

For many years, customers in Western European cultures have felt inclined to tip their servers. We've reached a point in society where tips are expected; if not expected, then outright demanded. Some restaurants include an automatic gratuity fee. Some servers react harshly to not receiving what they believe is "owed." I'm sure I could provide countless examples of unjust behavior which many of you would be able to relate to.

Nonetheless, I'm here today to discuss the fast food re...

Same-Sex Marriage Will Lead to Marriage Involving Animals, Siblings, or Children

Siege
Rational_Thinker9119

My opponent and I will be arguing one of the historic anti-gay marriage debates. The statement is that the allowance of gay marriage can serve as a "gateway" for the allowance of other types of relationships which go against the societal "norm", including animals, children, siblings, corpses, etc, etc. "Marriage" in this debate is defined as a legal and binding relationship recognized by United States government. No semantics arguments. First round is solely acceptance....

Insulting someone by calling them a liar is materially different from other insults

wrichcirw
rross

This topic originated from long, tedious discussions between PRO/CON. I adamantly stick to PRO on this position, whereas CON is not fully convinced. This debate aims to further convince CON of PRO's case.

Resolution:

Insulting someone by calling them a liar is materially different from other insults.

Everyone's a little bit racist and discriminatory, even you!

StraightWhiteMale
Rational_Thinker9119

In this debate we're discussing the idea that everyone's a little bit racist and discriminatory towards other races and sexes. I am saying that this statement is very true, and that is because studies by Georgia Tech's School of Psychology have shown that for instance if you show someone the picture of a black face and the letters G-U-N scrambled on a paper that they are faster to find the word GUN than if you show them a white face and the letters G-U-N, which would imply we are faster to assoc...

Same-Sex Marriage

xXCryptoXx
Mrparkers

I will be arguing against same-sex marriage, and that marriage should be between a woman and a man.

My opponent will be arguing in favor of same-sex marriage.

There will be no need for definitions seeing that this debate is self-explanatory.
