China is going to take over the world.

2013-05-23T13:15:58-08:00

(Debating Period) This is, in a way a troll debate. I will be arguing in favor that china will be taking over the world in the near future. You will be arguing against this. I do not actually believe China will take over the world, this is merely for the sake of entertainment, and arguing.

America is NOT obese.

2013-05-23T04:41:17-08:00

(Voting Period) Everybody says that America is a country full of obese slobs, correct? I don't believe that to be true. I walk down the street every day, and through my school every day, and I hardly see any overweight people at all. Sure, there are some kids who could do with a diet, but that doesn't make all of America fat. Does it?

I like to keep my excrement. People think this is wrong

2013-05-22T14:04:36-08:00

(Debating Period) Many people of todays society seem to think that me keeping my poo after i've been to the toilet is wrong. I strongly disagree, it's something that I have created and If i want to keep it then I will certainly do so. I always walk the streets with poo in my pockets + in my hands. Ive actually had the police called on me one time, I was trying to buy a magazine, and i forgot to hide my poo, i almost placed a turd in his hand instead of money! oops! Getting back on track, I would love to debate with someone who thinks this is wrong as ive been bottling my feelings up now for a while nyam

I am more random than you

2013-05-19T00:48:44-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Thank you for accepting my debate. You may begin, but in round 4 just put "no argument will be posted here, as agreed" instead of an actual round. This debate is solely based off who can be more random. Rules: 1) Please keep it moderately clean. 2) You may only have 1 paragraph of randomness.. ( 5 sentences max)

Being a Fatty is Worse than Being a Ginger

2013-05-17T21:38:09-08:00

(Voting Period)

BRING. IT. ON.

I purposely challenged MassiveDump seeing that not only is he the most famous ginger on DDO but he would know what being a ginger is like more than most of us!

This is a troll debate!

Telling the truth is not required, but let's at least try to make it relative to being fat or being a ginger. No going, "EMEMGERD FAT PEOPLE ARE FLYING ALIENSFRFROM MARZ THEREFORE THEY ARE BETTER." Or anything like that! Let's keep it real bro.

Innapropriate language is also allowed!

First round is for acceptance.

Note to all viewers: this debate may be found offensive, especially to fat people and gingers. Viewer discretion is adviced. And don't say I didn't warn you.

We should modify beaches to make the sand lower in density so that the obese sink.

2013-05-22T18:50:24-08:00

(Voting Period)

There you are, sitting in your brand new deck chair with your robotic pet when all of a sudden this whale of a humanoid starts waddling along in a bikini that's three billion sizes too small. That's put you off food for a few years.

You wish you could get that chocolate-chasing boulder of blubber would get out of the way, because now you've forgotten what the sun even looks like. Is it square? Is it purple? Is it visibly in motion? You don't know. This crisp-crunching menace is blocking your view and has been doing said thing for about three years, because chocolate-chasers move about as fast as a dead tortoise.

In all that time you have to think, you get a great scientific and sophisticated idea! "Why not modify beaches to make the sand lower in density so that the obese sink?" You think to yourself. That would make everyone's life more pleasent.

So that's what I'd like to debate today,

Who would win in a fight, t-rex or batman?

2013-05-14T08:44:04-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Batman is the obvious choice to win in this cage match. Batman has countless numbers of different skills and tools that will help to overcome the challenge of the t-Rex. Batman can protect a whole city, a t-Rex is not that big of an obstacle compared to bane for example. Batman will always prevail in this battle!

Deadpool is a better superhero that Hawkeye

2013-05-13T11:34:19-08:00

In The Hunger Games , I, Noprisu, Would Win If Skrone was my only opponent.

2013-05-10T10:22:59-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

In this debate, I will argue my superiority in the skills required to survive and win the hunger games if, and only if, my opponent was only Skrone, a fellow DDO member.

The rules are as follows:
1. No false information
2. 4 Rounds, 1st is for acceptance.
3. We will use the 1st Arena used in the Hunger Games novels as the setting if the question arises.

I look forward to this Debate

I would be more harmed than you if we broke up.

2013-02-22T22:02:25-08:00

(Post Voting Period) Resolution: I would be more harmed than you if we broke up Both parties share burden of proof. We can only use quoted song lyrics to make our case (sentence fragments are ok but complete sentences are better) and must cite the song and artist for each lyric. We can't use a lyric from a song already used. Opening arguments: If things should ever turn out wrong and all the love we have is gone, it won't be easy on that day. [1] Do you remember when we met? Thats the day I knew you were my pet. I want to tell you how much I love you. [2] My heart was wrapped in clover the night I looked at you. And I found a dream that I could speak to- a dream to call my own. I found a thrill to press my cheek to- a thrill that I have never known. You smile and the spell was cast and here we are in heaven. [3] You're my world, my heart, my soul. If you ever leave, baby you would take away everything good in my life. Without you there'd be no sun in my sky. There would be n

My opponent is better than I am

2013-04-30T17:57:42-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I will be debating that my opponent (whoever that may be) is better than I am. My opponent is arguing that they are not indeed better than me, and maybe even that I am better. This is NOT a serious debate!! "Better" can mean a numerous amount of things, such as debating, or even just at life. We will both have the burden of proof here. Better: That which has greater excellence or is preferable or wiser: the better of two choices. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/better My opponent and I will each be trying to prove that the other is superior. It doesn't matter who actually is, just who debates it better. First round acceptance. It won't count towards the voting. Good luck and I look forward to this fun debate!

You can never teach a llama to drive

(Post Voting Period)

2. No forfeiting
3. Forfeiture results in a loss for the side that forfeited
4. This is a troll debate, so it is supposed to be funny; it is OK to not tell the truth

The user known as Danielle used dishonest tactics in her same-sex parenting debate.

2012-12-17T16:56:57-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

Many people on this site know about me and Danielle's same-sex parenting debate, in which she won by a large margin and I accused her of using dishonest arguments (lawyering, strawmen, etc) in order to gain victory.

In case you haven't, here's the link: [http://debate.org/debates/Homosexual-couples-can-raise-children-just-as-well-as-heterosexual-couples./1/]

I accuse her of avoiding the resolution, misinterpreting my arguments, lying about my burden of proof, repeating arguments that had no bearing on the debate, and assigning absurd burdens of proof on things that should require none. Think of this as an unofficial trial of sorts, albeit one where only honor is at stake.

She has just agreed debate me so that this can be answered once and for all. Obviously there will be no law

should schools have security guards?

2013-03-14T07:32:49-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I think that schools should have security for various reasons, like to prevent bullying, or for more safety like in case an emergency, there are more people to help

Evolution is the wrong idea

2013-04-10T20:15:38-08:00

(Post Voting Period) evolution is the theory of how we are created. I think this argument should be about why evolution is the wrong idea. my argument is that evolution is wrong because God created us and I am against what other people think. we get the wrong idea of how we are made and we say what what other people thought. it is wrong to say that we are made from monkeys and that the earth is billions of years old. the bible even solves the question before the argument is raised and I quote "In the beginning God" and that's all you need to know. In the beginning God created us, crafted us, made the earth, and everything else in our universe. but people look to the answer and say that its too simple we need something that makes sense. the problem is the sense is right in front of them and they pass on and keep looking. my argument is that god made us and everything anyone else says is not in my life.

It is preferred to live in a zombie apocalypse then an alien invasion apocalypse

2013-04-10T22:23:59-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I will argue that it is better off to live in a world being ravaged by a zombie apocalypse then a world being ravaged by an alien invasion. - It's a given that the aliens and zombies are hostile and want to kill us all - Zombies are similar to those featured in "The Walking Dead" - Aliens are similar to those of 'Independence Day', 'Falling Skies', and 'War of the Worlds' where they possess technology and weapons far superior to those of Humans First round is acceptance only, 6000 character limit Begin :D
