resolved: A tree falls in the forest, and nobody is there to hear it, it does not make a sound.
I believe that if a tree falls in the woods it does not make a sound because sound is vibrations and if there is a collision between to solid objects there will always be vibration and therefor there will be sound....
It's time for the Government to crackdown hard on greedy fat scroungers
You see them all the time, don't you? Big, fat, sweating piles of flab sitting in fast food restaurants, gorging themselves on super-sized burgers while everybody else is out earning the money to pay for them. "No, I'm to fat to work" they say, "I'm morbidly obese and I get out of breath just walking to my Government-subsidised car". So, instead of going out and earning an honest wage like everybody else, they slob about in junk food outlets. And when they haven't got their snouts in the...

Left-side traffic is not better than right-side traffic
This debate is about road traffic systems. I am against the resolution that left side traffic is not better than right side traffic. In other words, I will attempt to prove that left side traffic is in fact better than right side traffic. Left side traffic is the system where we drive on the left side of the road (eg Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand). Right side traffic is the system where we drive on the right side of the road (eg France, Germany, USA). "Better" ----- we all shou...

Civil disobedience is an appropriate weapon in the fight for justice
This is a debate on CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE don't make into a debate about something else alright? I believe this for the following three reasons: 1. Bring stability to a society 2. Democratic governments accommodate civil disobedience 3. Civil disobedience brings immediate attention to an unjust law For my first point is that civil disobedience is a beneficial behavior in bringing about stability to a society. I would like to point out a few examples such as the Women's Suffrage movement...
The Cleaners
Everyone knows about vote bombing, which is the practice of a small group pouring all their votes with no justification onto one person. Purposes for doing so may range from just wanting to raise each others' percentages to purposely trashing another person's win rate. Whether or not CWO, as made infamous by the other debate, exists to vote bomb or not, one fact is clear: vote bombing exists. I myself have been victim to it several times. The first few by a single person who made several a...
Debators should not vote in his or her own debate...
In debate.org, there are hundreds of debates being made everyday. Many times, people can not view every debate. Most of the time, a debators vote will be what mostly affects the results of the debate. Therefore, debators will vote for themselves and most likely win. This is not morally correct. The debator who votes for himself just wants to win....
