(Post Voting Period) This debate is on whether homosexuality is 'good' or 'bad', acceptable or wrong, natural or unnatural. I am for homosexuality. You are born homosexual, it isn't something you can catch, and they are the same as straight people, just different sexual preferences. I look forward to this debate.

2013-01-14T17:27:50-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Hello, this is 1Historygenius, the Master Historian of this website, and YOU have been challenged to my third most important battles challenge (well, really a redo of one)! Rules: We will debate battles for different wars and time periods. What happens is that every round a battle will be placed by each person. The voters will decide who has the more important battle for that round. Who ever has the most will get the most points from the votes and thus win. Sieges are not included in this. Just land and naval battles. No semantics or trolling! Round 1 is for acceptance! No refutations! The Winner of the debate will simply be decided by the voters! Too avoid any further confusion, here is a previous debate I did that people can use as a guideline: http://debate.org/debates/Most-Important-Battles-Challenge-1/1/

The US Won the Vietnam War

2013-04-03T10:52:53-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

The Debate

Ever since I have taken the side that the United States actually won the Vietnam War rather than lose it, people on DDO have been attacking me because they say I am being entirely wrong. This is a dishonorable assault on my credibility. As the Master Historian of Debate.org, I hereby start this debate to clear everything up.

I will argue that the United States won the Vietnam War while it was there. My opponent must argue that the United States lost the Vietnam War.

Rules

Round 1 is for introduction.

No trolling or semantics.

Should the pledge of allegiance continue to be said after already being said once?

2013-04-01T21:16:30-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Hello all. This is my first debate on this website, and I would appreciate it if someone would challenge me. My rules are: arguments must be legible and coherent. I will start off with that if any legal U.S. citizen has already pledged their allegiance, why should they be asked to again? If an action is done, there is no point in redoing said action; with the exception of said action being previously revoked.
