Pokémon Battle: Kyogre vs. Groudon
This will be a one-on-one battle between two legendary Pokémon. I will use Kyogre, and my opponent will use Groudon. Each turn, we will each choose one attack to use from our respective Pokémon's movesets. We will each declare all information of our Pokémon before the battle begins.

Species: Kyogre Type: Wa...

The war will take place on Isle Delfino, the sunny vacation...
Sweatshops are ethical
I would like to thank my opponent for taking this debate. Contention 1: It improves lives Sweatshops don't cause harm. They provide better job options than the average job in these third-world countries [1]. They are also voluntary contracts between the employer and the employee. Nobody is forcing them to take these jobs. Now, the source mentions a possiblity of the Chinese government forcing people to work in sweatshops. If this is true, then these are not the core idea of sweatshops, and t...
