It's time to bring back invalid carriages

2012-02-28T16:44:09-08:00

(Post Voting Period) The widespread abuse of disabled parking schemes by able-bodied motorists means that legitimate holders of handicapped badges and placards often can't find vacant designated disabled parking spaces and are thus forced to hobble, limp or stagger further than they otherwise would to get to the shops. This didn't happen in the olden days though - until the 1980's spastics were only allowed to drive special turquoise invalid carriages, or "cripple cars" as they were known, and because they weren't fast or desirable normal people didn't want to be seen in them so, in practice, only genuine mongs used handicapped parking bays. Bringing back invalid carriages would solve the problem of unscrupulous motorists using fake or borrowed handicapped badges and placards to deprive people with restricted mobility of their specially allocated parking spaces, and I therefore urge you to support this proposal by voting Pro. Thank you. For infrormation on the invavali

It is acceptable for the Polish government to house its current criminals in Auschwitz-Birkenau

2012-03-11T13:12:48-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

This debate must strictly adhere to the following hypothetical situation to ensure clairity and good quality.

Poland has been having a current wave of violent crime. All of its jails are full and it has no money to make more institutions for criminals and every viable building to keep them has been used. Despite that there are still 1000 violent criminals that have no place to be put; Poland can get no internal or external help on the matter and is on the verge of having to release these convicted violent criminals back into society.

Should Poland use its existing ex-Extermanation/Concentration camps to house these violent criminals? The only other viable option is for the prisoners to be sent to a island controled by Poland on the Baltic Sea, but they would have to walk and the journey would be extremely hazourdous, and most likely fatal to many of them, but that's not guaranteed

It's time for English-Americans to assert their ethnic identity

2012-04-06T20:46:39-08:00

(Post Voting Period) There are lots of Americans that self-identify themselves of belonging to a particular ethnic group, and they have established national associations to represent their interests. These include: The Cuban-American National Foundation (1); The Polish-American Association (2); National Italian-American Forum (3); The Irish-American Society (4); The Norwegian-American Foundation (5) and The German-American Heritage Foundation (6). I could go on, but you get the idea. However, so oppressed are English-Americans in the United States that they have not yet been emboldened enough to establish their own representative body. I say, enough is enough: it's time English-Americans made a stand against persecution and prejudice - they should be proud of their heritage and culture - and have the courage to establish an English-American society to promote their ethnic identity in the United States. Thank you. (1) http://www.canf.org/ (2) http://www.polish.org/en/ (3

What would be best would be to know

without knowing you know,

or not to know

without knowing that you do not know.

It's that second layer that kills you.

Zoos should be indefinitely banned.

2012-04-28T23:15:40-08:00

(Post Voting Period) In this debate, I will argue that zoos should not be indefinitely banned. My argument will comprise of four main points: the joy they bring, the protection to endangered species they offer, their benefits to society, and their rightful place in society. Simply put, zoos create memories. There is nothing more fascinating to children, adolescents, and adults alike than to see a variety of exotic and familiar animals. With visitations to zoos comes multifarious benefits, including revenue and traffic. However, perhaps the most significant benefit is the information it provides. With this information, people are more like to respect the environment and seek a stable and healthy ecosystem. Therefore, it is only logical to keep this very important component of society around for generations to come.

Specific faith schools should be banned.

2012-04-25T18:03:08-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I'm not saying that religion shouldn't be taught in schools, but any schools that only allow children of a certain faith should be banned. First round for acceptance... my opponent will be for faith schools and against their banning.

potential vampires who could logicaly exist would lose against ninjas

2012-03-31T20:51:29-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

I believe that vampires,(witch by accepting this debate it is agreed that vampires have heartbeats, weakness to garlic,sun weakness,regenerative properties,fangs,suck blood) would lose against ninjas in a fight modernly..

Also were only talking about vampires who's abilities have the potential to logically exist.

potential-having a latent possibility or likelihood of occurring, or of doing or becoming something.

logic-

system or instance of reasoning: any system of, or an instance of, reasoning and inference.

I plan for this to be alot of fun......kanpai!!!!!.....lol......

Public gyms ought to be forced to admit overweight children for free

2012-03-06T21:34:57-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

Today, I propose that Privately/Publicly owned gyms must be forced to admit overweight children for free on a case per case basis. That is to say the little cake scoffers be allowed to simply walk into a gym and use the facilities granted they are not occupied. This applies to all children from 0-16 years old, who are visibly overweight.

First round is strictly acceptance and the posting of a picture of sardines.

This 1 round debate will get 40,000,000 (40 MILLION) views before the voting begins

Islam on Jesus

2012-05-19T13:10:16-08:00

(Post Voting Period) The full resolution: Muslims should not view Jesus as "Just a good prophet but not the son of God". This view is flawed and it is wrong. I recognize not all Muslims interpret Jesus this way, they are excluded from this debate. It is to focus only on Muslims who view Jesus as a legitimate prophet but not the son of God. First round acceptance

Altering our body to be fit for society...

2012-04-02T16:25:01-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Throughout our lives, society has told us how we should look to be deemed beautiful. We try to reach an impossible goal, and waste effort in trying to achieve that goal. We look at these "picture perfect" people and envy their flawless beauty. However, in reality, they are just as imperfect as the people society criticizes. We are so insecure that we go as far as to alter ourselves entirely to achieve that desired flawless appearance. Billions of dollars are spent annually on cosmetic and hair products that promise to enhance physical beauty. Television commercials overly exaggerate the capabilities of their products with elaborate special effects, persuasive narrators, and "perfect" looking people. What we do not realize is how fictitious it all is. Models are fixed and professionally made beautiful, but even then they are not completely flawless. They are fixed digitally to give them the look that people continually strive to achieve. Some people dedicate t
