The Right to Own , Keep, and Bear Arms

2012-03-17T20:48:28-08:00

(Post Voting Period) The Right to Own, Keep, and Bear Arms is an individual right, and one that law abiding citizens should be free to exercise without fear of the government restricting this right. That the right to self defense is a basic human right, and should not be infringed upon. That his right actually makes society safer, not more dangerous, to live in. The first round will just be for acceptance, the following three will be for the actual debate. I accept any challenger, but please keep this a respectful debate.

Dogs Are Better Than Cats

2012-02-25T21:39:41-08:00

(Post Voting Period) This ought to be fun... Rules: first round is case, second round rebuttal, third round defense and conclusion (no new rebuttals) ............................................................................................................................ Point one: Dogs are capable of compassion, along with other traits It is a well known fact that dogs love people. Cats, on the other hand are selfish (and haters), and couldn't care less about you, provided they get their cat food; which is arguably the only reason cats don't ditch you. Dogs, however, will not intentionally leave you. Dogs are faithful,compassionate and better than cats. Why do you think the dogs chase the cats? Point two: Cats are heartless and hold grudges for the first part(cats are heartless) my proof is with science. Since dogs are loving, compassionate, and benevolent, and cats are the opposite of dogs, cats are hateful, selfish, and malevolent. And since dogs have hearts, cats don'

Altruism does not exist.

2012-02-25T16:25:29-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Before accepting this debate, please read over the following notes. My Position aims to attack not Altruism(The idea), but how we as human beings look at it(How we describe certain ideas as altruistic when in reality they are not). I believe Altruism does not exist in our Moral Society. Definitions- Exist- To occur Altruism- The principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others After the following rules and definitions are accepted, the first round will be for acceptance. This will be a 1 Round Debate (not including the first round), where I as Pro will State my case, then the negative will proceed to refute the arguments. IF the negative successfully refutes the arguments, they win (not just stating a case for why it exists, instead look towards why i am wrong) If any points are left up by the affirmative, or are not successfully refuted by the negative, then the affirmative wins.

Life is a prerequisite to all other rights.

(Post Voting Period) I stand in affirmation. First round is for acceptance.

IPhone VS Android

2012-02-27T21:02:32-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Apple Iphone is a far better software than any android out on the market. The facts to prove this entails; Apple is the sole provider of the IPhone, whereas the android market is flooded with multiple carriers who have a different say in the software. The Iphone is much more user friendly; due to many suppliers for the android software, each phone is developed differently in operating per provider. The reliability of the IPhone shatters any credibility to any Android operator because of many software issues that come up on a day to day basis with them

kobe bryant vs Lebron James

2012-09-28T16:58:23-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I would just like my opponent to take into consideration that while stats are important they are not everything. In this debate I am breaking every aspect of each players games which means it might be unsettled but just two of us voicing our opinions. This includes there athleticism and advantages/disadvantages. With that being said, I'd like this to be very unbiased, and a good intelligent debate. I'd also invite my opponent and any other user to watch this video first on Kobe Bryant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyKgaeAoa-g And this video on Lebron James http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST9YW4pjXvY&list=FLEebD1KbW_-e5U-1_D9ayzQ&index=79&feature=plpp_video Lets begin. Kobe vs Lebron(scoring overall) Well Lebron statistically speaking does average more points, more rebounds and assists then Kobe does. BUT like I said there is more to is then stats. Lets take into consideration that Kobe's first few seasons he didn't start which hurt his career
