"I think therefore I am," is fundamentally flawed.
i saw your debate against someone else on this same topic in which you won but it was unfair because your opponent had no freakin idea what the actual argument was about...basically im saying you had a free lunch and i would love to make you work for it... since you are the or "pro" i'll allow you to make the first opening statement...
Abortion: A Topic of Deadly Consequences
I myself am very passionatly anti-abortion. Very...very...passionatly so... the argument itself boils down to ethics and morality. By that I dont mean religion. I will not be discussing god, or the bible, but simple human ethics. It is an understood human ethic that murder is bad. This understanding exists among all forms of humanity as we know them. To take away an innocent human life is unforgiveable. So I start with this: Murder Is Bad Most everybody would agree with this stateme...
Moral Relativism is philosophically weak
Absolute and moral relativity seem to be a big topic here lately. Since I never seem to log in when anyone else starts a debate concerning this topic, I suppose making my own will have to suffice. A moral relativist is someone who applies relative ethics to a moral problem, and someone who denies that any thing has the ability to arbitrate what morals are indeed moral on an absolute level. Why is this? The answer is fairly simple. It is because that by believing something does arbitrate mora...
People who are obese by their own neglegence should not say how much they despise thin people.
Obese inviduals who are obese by their own laziness and negligence really have no business complaining about thin people who are fit and in shape. Please do not misunderstand. I understand that some heavy people can maintain a healthy weight and some cannot even help it. But is it really fair to beat down on normal sized people? You should not blame the person you envy because they are healthy and fit. It is not their fault. It is simply a feeble mind trying to express the fact that you let your...
Libertarians have it right on health care-not Barack, Hillary or Johnny.
Libertarians are considered heartless people who would let the poor suffer but this is untrue. We have a heath care plan that is simply the bee's knees. - Libertarians know that the only health care reforms that will make a real difference are those that draw on the strength of the free market. We propose to establish medical savings accounts to allow tax-free contributions in a medical savings program or 100% tax deductibility for all health care costs. - We propose to deregulate the he...
All elected and appointed government officials should be paid minimum wage.
This is just a different take on the minimum wage issue. This isn't about raising or lowering it, although this resolution could have that effect. Since this isn't about whether minimum wage is good or bad, I'll ask that my opponent not run a critique, saying that minimum wage shouldn't be used at all. That is not the point of this debate. The central idea of the PRO is that government officials are the ones who determine what the minimum wage is. The minimum wage is supposed to be the min...
An Atheist should not believe in moral absolutes.
First, let me tell you why I'm doing this debate. After reading the debate about "Atheists are more kind than Christians", it seemed to me that XsamacadoX is an Atheist that believes in moral absolutes (for example, he claims that people should do things that are right because they are the right things to do). I thought this would be an interesting topic for debate if I am right in his beliefs. If he accepts, I'll present my first argument after he makes his first statement (if he wants to po...
War memorials do more harm than good.
Greetings to my opponent and welcome to Round 2 -- Good luck! For the purpose of this debate, a war memorial will be defined as a building, monument, statue or other edifice to celebrate a war or victory, or (predominating in modern times) to commemorate those who died or were injured in war (Source: Wikipedia). If my opponent disagrees with the definition, I ask that he provide another relavent to the resolution as soon as possible. So without further ado (or is it adieu?), let's begin!...
Female priests.
The topic of this debate refers to the Roman Catholic faith. I don't know enough about any other religion to debate about it. If my opponent wishes to debate outside of the Roman Catholic faith, please do so elsewhere. Also, "clergy" in this debate will refer to priests, not nuns. My position in this debate is to recognize the male-only clergy rule as sexist and outdated. I was taught that priests have to be men because Jesus' apostles were all men. Even if that were true (there is some spec...
Samurai Jack ultimately fales in his mission to stop Aku
It's simple do to theoretical time mechanics and basic logic it can be deduced that even if he dose make it back to his time period he failed in his atempt to kill Aku all because of how the future is already. But I will give my opponent the opportunity to prove me wrong before I start on my argument I really only need two rounds. P.S. Please only except this debate if you know the series don't just go and research at the last minute you won't get the gist of the show from reading it. You...
