A Crowbar is the best weapon to have during a Zombie Uprising.

2010-03-03T11:09:42-08:00

(Voting Period) My position is simple. During the Zombie uprising, the best weapon is a crowbar. Yes you should always have a good amount of reliable weapon and shouldn't depend on just one. But the argument here is which is the best. I will let Con choose a weapon they feel is better and we shall debate the matter at hand. Some things to keep in mind: -You can only kill a zombie by destroying the brain. -Real zombies (George Romero zombies) walk and shuffle. They don't run around. -Once you're bitten you will turn into one of them. hopefully this debate will help everyone when the zombies come. When discussing Zombies here we are talking about George Romero's zombies. Not "Left 4 Dead" zombies, "Dead Rising" zombies. Thanks.

The Ultimate Fight!!! Goku vs. Superman!! Goku wins!!

2010-06-16T12:12:31-08:00

(Voting Period) I have looked at countless debates of this topic, and I believe I have a fool-proof plan that is fair and reasonable! Send only your greatest debater. P.S The argument I use has worked twice so far. Rules are simple; they must remain in character, they are on the Earth, and they are going all out. Finally, please don't arrive and give liberal links, you know, that are missing a crucial point that may damage or refute your point

I will not break a rule

2009-12-07T16:42:20-08:00

(Voting Period) This is a copy of multiple other debates I've seen with similar rules. 0. By accepting this debate, my opponent agrees to all the rules already posted. 1. Rules created hold power over all rules posted later, and no later rule can contradict an earlier rule. 2. A forfeit results in a loss. 3. A violation of a rule that is not null and void will result in the rule-breaker losing this debate. 4. With the exception of my first round, a player may only do something besides make rules to discuss whether one has broken a rule, or whether a rule is null. 5. Not counting these foundation rules, each player can only create 3 rules per turn. 6. Each player must produce 3 rules per round. 7. Rules cannot result in an auto-win. Breaking a rule cannot result in the victory of the rule-breaker. Each player should have an opportunity to not break each rule. 8. A voter must default all categories to the victor of the debate. The loser is the first p

Polygamy should be legalized in the West

2010-07-25T20:36:03-08:00

(Voting Period) Definition: Polygamy is form of marriage in which a man is simultaneously married to more than one woman. I firmly believe in that polygamy should be legalized in the West for the following reasons: 1. Numerical superiority of females over males: By law of nature, males and females are born in equal proportions, meaning that for every male there is in this world, there should also be a female. However, due the fact that females are naturally more resistant against disease than males, the population of females exceed that of males. Just look at the life expectancy ratio anywhere in the world and you will see that females on average out live males by 5 years. If we also take into consideration all the deaths due to war, due to accidents, due to physical activity, due to suicides in which the majority of victims are males, we see that with the passing of time, the female population greatly outnumbers the male population. According to last year's glob

What do you think of this quote? "A womans place belongs in the kitchen."

2010-03-17T11:27:39-08:00

(Voting Period) This quote is probably the most sexist quote I've ever seen. I'm not exactly sure who came up with this quote & why, but I am appualled. Not only do I disagree with this quote I loathe this quote. Analogy 1: How do you explain all the man chefs in the world? Are men going to be considered badly because they think their place is in the kitchen? What about all the independent woman in the world who are in the business offices right at this moment, are there places at the office?

In "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess"...

2010-06-28T14:07:00-08:00

(Voting Period) Full resolution: In "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess," the Sacred Grove, Temple of Time, and all other things necessary for both the Master Sword quest and the Temple of Time quest would be better located in the Ordona Province, instead of the Faron Province. Everything should be definable here: http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Zeldapedia Contention 1+: The Temples If one looks at a map of Hyrule in Twilight Princess, every province has its own temple, with two exceptions: the Faron Province has two temples (Forest Temple, Temple of Time), while the Ordona Province has none. Things would seem much more balanced if every province had its own temple; the map would also seem more balanced and visually appealing. Contention 2+: The Swords The first sword that Link obtains, the Wooden Sword, comes from the Ordona Province. The second sword that Link obtains, the Ordon Sword, comes from the Ordona Province. Wouldn't it make sense, then, for the third s

The Pokemon TV Show should Follow the Exploits of Red, not Ash

2010-01-02T09:56:44-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I will attempt to affirm the resolution that the Pokémon anime should have followed the exploits of the character Red, and not those of Ash Ketchum. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the show here is a synopsis: Ash Ketchum is a boy who on his tenth birthday decided to be a Pokémon Trainer, one who raises and battles Pokémon. He began with a Pikachu and has gained many more since the show's beginning. He also has adventures with a myriad of other Pokémon Trainers. He does a lot of things that are impressive within the context of the show but there is little plot and he never accomplishes the goal set for him in the original American theme. It is a fairly reaction based show with little important interconnection between episodes. If one were to begin watching now you would understand the show only a few episodes later. The series has ran over 600 episodes since its conception. Contention 1: Red relies on himself alone to capture Pokémon. [1]

Post Nuclear War Survival

2009-12-14T16:08:46-08:00

(Post Voting Period) This is an assignment that I got as school yesterday that I thought would be a good subject for a debate. So here it is. The Situation: Three days ago, nuclear war broke out around the world with massive attacks in all heavily populated areas. For the first 24 hours, radio broadcasts reported tremendous damage and loss of life in all areas, including the total annihilation of most of the earth's population. For the past 48 hours there have been no broadcasts. Fortunately, the people listed below were able to reach a fallout shelter in time to take cover and survived the initial devastation. You must assume that those in the shelter are the only survivors on Earth. Here is the dilemma: there are 12 people in the fallout shelter, but there is not enough food, water, and other supplies to keep them alive until the atmosphere is safe. To survive, the people must stay inside the fallout shelter for at least three months. The problem is that if all of them stay
