<title>Nickleback vs. U2</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Nickleback-vs.-U2/1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) &lt;div&gt;I would like to thank TDK for accepting this debate. Let's explain the rules. &lt;br /&gt;Pro= Nickleback&lt;br /&gt;Con= U2&lt;br /&gt;Must post 1 song a round and then must explain why it is better then the song posted by their opponet (except for pro round 1 for obvious reasons.)&lt;br /&gt;You must post why you like the song.&lt;br /&gt;You&amp;nbsp; must post song name and band.&lt;br /&gt;No cussing outside of the songs&lt;br /&gt;No insulting the other debater.&lt;br /&gt;If any rules are violated all 7 points go to the opponet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How You Remind Me- Nickleback&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cQh1ccqu8M&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cQh1ccqu8M&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this song, because it was introduced to me during my early childhood and that made me like this song. This song is also what got me to like Nickleback. The best part of the song, in my opinion, is the first verse, because those words are true for many people. The chorus comes in a quick second and that'</description>

<title>Trolling is a form of art.</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Trolling-is-a-form-of-art./1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) &lt;div&gt;Resolved: Trolling is a form of art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Definitions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trolling: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=internet&quot;&gt;internet&lt;/a&gt;, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny. Spam isn't trolling either; it pisses people off, but it's lame.&amp;nbsp;The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions, under the guise of help.&amp;nbsp;Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urbandictionary</description>

<title>Beyonc&quot; is generally better than Rihanna</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Beyonc-is-generally-better-than-Rihanna/1/</link>
<description>(Debating Period) It is obvious that as far as performing and singing Rihanna doesn't come close to Beyonc&quot;, but I have noticed that many people think otherwise. I'm curious too see people's reasoning for this.</description>

<title>Random Poetry Battle</title>
<link>http://www.debate.org/debates/Random-Poetry-Battle/1/</link>
<description>(Post Voting Period) You don't have to be good at this, as you will see by me; I suck. Just write what is on your mind and have fun. 
_______

Give me your best
To start off this test
Write what you will
Even if it's to shrill
I only bade a religous space
Oh, please, it doesn't belong in this place
This is a place for the brighest of ways
Or to write down your hardest of dismays
This battle is not to bash
That is a terrible behavior and belongs in the trash
This battle is to help you improve
To learn strageties that fit the way you move
So...have fun
Because the battle has just begun.</description>
