Democracy is a Violent Religion.
I believe that democracy is a violent religion. Reasons: 1) People who believe and advocate democracy believe in the constitution that gives them there "rights". 2) They believe that democracy is the only acceptable form of social organization. 3) Claim that democracy is synonymous with freedom 4) That states are justified and is the "will of the people" 5) That people control the state 6) Democracy maintains it's ideology through ignorance and scorns people who questions it's legitimac...
"no planes on 9/11" thoery
Hello people my name is Tom. I am involved with a local portland truth group dedicated to exposing the truth about 9/11. I would prefer my opponent to already know at least some of the truth about what happened on 9/11. If you still believe people in a cave did this then please don't bother and go do some research for yourself. The reason why i am debating this is because it creates much controversy within the truth groups. I am here to explain how the world was duped into thinking that planes a...
Sampling (in music) is not theft
Hi, I would first like to make it clear that I am referring to theft in a moral rather than a legal sense of the word, If you wish to debate the legality of sampling please do not accept this debate. To clarify, here are some definitions: (I use the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, 10th edition revised) 'sampling: 2. the technique of digitally encoding music or sound and re-using it as part of a composition or recording.' [I point out that I would also include the rare examples of purel...
The State of Massachusetts should be ceded in order to create a homeland for Roma people
For centuries, Roma people (otherwise known as Gypsies) have travelled far and wide and have faced prejudice and persecution wherever they have gone. In many ways, their experience mirrors that of the Jewish people. However, whereas the Jews were granted their own homeland when the State of Israel was created after World War II, even though the Nazi's exterminated over 600,000 Roma people in the Holocaust, the Roma still have nowhere to call "home". http://www.romani.org/ The Jewish people...
Cats are better than dogs
The world goes to the dogs. Maybe now is the right time to decide what is more beneficial for us - as the citizens: To own a dog or to own a cat? The answer is quite simple ladies and gentlemen: Of course that we should own a cat since it is more beneficial for us! Are you wondering why am I claiming so? Read more. Definitions: "are better" = "their possession is more beneficial for their owners" Arguments: 1. Cats are better than dogs because it is much more likely to be killed by a...
Because there are Nonbelievers, God does not exist.
*Clarification purposes* By "God", I am referring to the Christian god. An omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibelevolent entity. He also loves everyone and wishes for all of us to go to heaven (1 Timothy 2:4). He has other attributes, but these are all that is needed to form this compelling argument. After starting this debate awhile ago, and seemingly to have lost it, I realized that I was quite unclear in my arguments, and am trying to try my hand at it again. Having done research, I fou...
Resolved- All legally and clinically sane citizens should have the right to keep and bear arms.
Resolved- All legally and clinically sane citizens should have the right to keep and bear arms. First of all, let me thank my opponent for accepting this debate, if in fact he does accept it. The right to keep and bear arms is a right given by birth, not only a right protected by the laws of many countries. This isn't an issue about regulation, the amount of firearms allowed, munitions used, whether or not the firearm is auto/semi-auto, etc.- this is simply an issue of the right to keep a...
