If a tree falls in the forest an no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Okay, let's get started. I will be making my arguments. 1) A tree falling in the forest without any one around doesn't produce a sound. It produces sound waves, without the presence of an ear, these sound waves cannot be turned into "sound". www.wikipedia.org/wiki/if_a_tree_falls_in_the_forest That is all for now....
Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed
As I was browsing through my list of previous debates, I found this one. I had quite a bit of fun debating it, and decided I'd revive it and see if anyone else thought it would be fun. As my opponent, you would be arguing FOR the resolution; that Humpty Dumpty WAS pushed, and didn't simply fall. I will leave the first round decision up to my opponent.

It's nearly impossible to win a one round debate.
No matter what I say in the first round, it opens up for one quick counter argument and no chances at rebuttal. There's the off chance that the opponent fails to read the topic appropriately but those are fairly rare. Largely the only person who would take such a debate is somebody who has thought of some clever way to counter the original argument. For example, this debate might be countered with various claims and accusations and I would be powerless to rebut those claims and thus lose....
