Overweight people should be made to pay their fair share on ‘planes.
The cost of an airline ticket should reflect the total weight of the passenger and luggage together, as this directly affects how much fuel the aircraft uses. Fat people should not expect normal people to subsidise them. If I have excess baggage, I don't organise a whip-round amongst my fellow passengers to cover the extra cost. To add insult to injury, once on the ‘plane, many obese people seem to think it is socially acceptable to invade other passengers' personal space by allowing their...
Is there such thing as freedom?
Is there a place on earth where I can build a shelter on a piece of land & grow my own vegetables. Raise my own livestock & live in peace without religion, war or polotics interfearing?...
People with AIDS should be shot into the space.
First, I'd like to ask that people vote off of better argumentation, rather than what they personally believe think, even if the PRO seems a bit totalitarian. AIDS is a big epidemic, yet we still have no cure. So, what is the best way to eliminate the disease? Complete eradication. Contentions: 1.) By shooting people with AIDS into the space, we will almost completely get rid off the disease. Of course, it will still lurk in the dark corners and such, but for the most part, people will no...
Lane hogs should be thrown to the wolves
The UK Highway Code states: You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear. If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past. Nevertheless, a large number of selfish motorists persist in crawling along the outside lanes at a mere 65-70mph even when the slow lane is empty, thus delaying people behind whose time is more important. The disruption these motoring miscreants create costs t...
George W. Bush is a bad president.
For all intensive purposes, I will define bad as: of poor quality; deficient; inadequate or below standard; not satisfactory; liable to cause harm; disreputable or dishonorable; displaying a lack of skill, talent, proficiency or judgment; causing distress; unfavorable; not suitable; disagreeable; not profitable or worth the price paid; disappointing -- These words and definitions were taken from Dictionary.com, and please, I don't want this debate to be about semantics. So I would prefer if some...
George Bush: Good Candidate...Bad Timing
George Bush... Not a day goes by when someone does not refer to him as the worst president in American History. Seriously??? Some people need to learn their history. How about Ulysses S. Grant, whose administration was the author of the greatest government scandals in US History. Then theres John Adams, who stiffened our economy and passed laws that made it illegal to talk badly about government leaders. When John Quincy Adams left office our country was in a serious recession and EVERYBODY...
this house believes that breaking a promise is aleays immoral
i say in my side that breaking a promise is always immoral because in the first place when you make a promise you are committing something and if that happens absolutely there is a responsibility and if there is a responsibility specially those which are committed by a person he should fulfill it no matter what. second , I strongly believe that if you make a promise it requires action but action does not require a promise so why make such a promise if you can make an action without it. Yes it is...
Religion's Immunity
Why should religion be immune to criticism from the atheist community? I'd like to challenge any real theist to this debate. For example, when the Danish Caricatures were drawn, the Danish government had to give a public apology (even though they shouldn't need to in a government where there is free press) about the cartoons. Even though the Muslim protestors killed hundreds over it, the Danish were the ones who had to apologies. Now, when say, Steven Colbert does a skit on President B...
Like Father Like Son: God's Relationship with Jesus Christ
I am completely dedicated to the idea that the Holy Trinity does not exist, being defined as follows: "trinity - the union of three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) in one Godhead, or the threefold personality of the one Divine Being." To be more specific, I do not believe that Jesus Christ is in incarnation of God, but an entirely seperate being who is literally the Son of God. 1. Jesus Christ throughout the new testament refers to himself as the Son of God, not god himself. Fur...
