Wars contribute to progress.
Wars do not contribute to progress and I am going to prove it. At first, wars destroy buildings, statues and libraries. For example, the great Gothic cathedrals and buildings were destroyed in the 2nd World War. (1) The government buildings in York (now Toronto), the then capital of Upper Canada were also burned down by the Americans in April, 1813. The Burning of Washington in 1814 was an incident during the War of 1812. During World War II, Japanese military forces destroyed or partly destr...

A "good investment" gets more money back than was spent in the beginning, but if you spend in a lost cause, all you do is lose money. This is the very definition of a BAD investment, and therefore stimulus is a BAD policy. The only reasonable vote is Con....
Has President Obama done a decent job despite the curveballs that have been thrown his way?
I will be arguing the affirmative for the case, "Has President Obama done a decent job despite the curve balls he's been thrown?". Please forgive me if I'm a little rusty, its been awhile.. Here goes. On November 12th, 2008.. President Obama shattered over 150 years of history by becoming the first black president to hold office in the United States, despite the odds against him. He has since done what everyone believed that he could never do including, but not limited too, decreasing the une...
Should high schools assign summer homework?
I will argue that summer homework is detrimental to students, while my opponent will argue that it is beneficial. This debate will not focus on legality, but rather what is better for the students.

They make way better decisions. Third, women can do a better job then men because they will make their responsibilities with more...
