(Post Voting Period)

For the longest, people have decided to for believe that someone has been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. But I has find this statement are irrelevant.

Let's take for a closer at then this and am decide for yourself:

1. I Can't Even Science

You've gotta be kidding me. I try to went as far even once, as had my friends all go. Logically, can't I go even decide to go want do look more like, how anyone would?

Prostitution should be legalized

2013-05-10T11:24:51-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

This is the first debate that I posted. I am new to this side but looking forward to debating this topic. As shown above, I am arguing in favor of legalizing prostitution.

Just for you information, I am not used to this debating format and so I will almost inevetibely make some sort of mistake. I do know how to make a point however and so don't expect the debate to be a pushover. Finally, have fun. This is a serious topic but some light-heartedness goes a long way.

Good Luck.

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!

Individualism is societally destructive

2013-05-04T14:14:09-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

I've made this impossible for anyone to accept, if anyone wants to debate this comment or PM me.

Individualism is defined by Merriam Webster as: "a doctrine that the interests of the individual are or ought to be ethically paramount"

Destruction is synonymous with ruinous. My advocacy will essentially be that the individualism that has sweeped the world, particularly the West, since the enlightenment is responsible for many of society's current ills, along with showing sociologically the inevitable effects of such an individualistic state of mind.

No semantics, I have no interest arguing over what societally destructive means. If my opponent tries to make this an issue, they forfeit the debate. First round is for acceptance and no new arguments in the last round.

The Most Reliable Basis For Determining Morality Is Via Secular Means

2013-04-17T09:36:30-08:00
(Post Voting Period) I would like to start my time here at DDO with a subject that is very close to my heart, the nature of where we derive our morality from. In my view, it is via secularist means. I am issuing this as an open challenge to anyone with interest in arguing from a different position. Before we begin, I would like to clarify the terms, namely that: Morality - What we consider to be right or wrong Secularism - actions and thinking that are derived from a non-religious standpoint. Whoever decides to take up the role of "Con" in this debate, Pro requests of Con that that the debate follow this format: Round 1 - Acceptance, as well as Con briefly clarifying their position, as well as, if they deem it necessary, adding any further definitions to other terms Con may wish to include within the debate as part of their arguments. Round 2 - Opening arguments with no clash Rounds 3 and 4 - Clash Round 5 - Clash and Conclusion The Burden of Proof is shared

Don't you think the Boston Bombing was over hyped?

2013-04-28T16:40:08-08:00
(Post Voting Period) First of all, I understand and acknowledge that the Boston bombing was a terrible event which never should have occurred. But don't you ever stop and think that a big deal is being made out of something substantially smaller? People were even thinking this could be compared to 9/11. On the same day 42 people die in an earthquake in Iraq. But does that receive even a tenth of what the Boston bombings received. No. This can't be defended.

2013-04-24T11:39:42-08:00
