My motion is that I, MassiveDump, have a suckier life than he, jdog2016.

Telling the truth is not required.

I am providing round one to be for jdog to accept this challenge, and arguments will begin in round two.

If anybody cares... probably not...

Resolved: Hitler vs Justin Bieber

(Post Voting Period)

After doing thorough research I have failed to find a single debate that addresses the issue of who is more evil, Hitler or Justin Bieber? This is an issue that millions of people ask themselves every day, and it is apalling that this topic has not been debated here on DDO. After making this discovery I realized that as the head troll of the site it is my sworn duty to bring this legendary debate ready to happen into fruition, and I will be arguing that Bieber is indeed worse then Hitler.

This is a complete legit debate (that I intend to troll anyways) and I fully expect this to become the debate of the month here on DDO.

Haiku Battle

2013-06-16T13:01:54-08:00

(Post Voting Period) For this debate it does not matter whether you are con or pro. All that matters is who can write the best Haiku. Haiku- a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons. This debate will be 5 rounds. Since a Haiku is focused on seasons this is how the debate will be broken down to. Haiku must be original from writer no plagiary. Round 1- acceptance Round 2- Haiku about Summer Round 3- Haiku about Fall Round 4- Haiku about Winter Round 5- Haiku about Spring The voter will have to choose based on how well did the writer write about the season. If the writer was able to follow the 5 syllables 7 syllables 5 Syllables three line format. May the best Haiku win.

Writers debate: Fiction

(Post Voting Period)

The purpose of this debate will be to intellectually get around the challenges posed by your opponent with each plot twist. At the same time, both writers will focus their skills into making their prose interesting, legible, and well written. "Is this a debate?" some of you may ask. I personally believe a writers debate requires a great amount of skill as it shows a debaters confidence in their speech, and they have to overcome obstacles through the use of creativity, imagination, and wit.

RULES:

1. Each debater will set a plot twist, or a problem for the protagonist to overcome at the end of each round. The opponent will continue off of the story that was instigated, and do their best to make it interesting, and smake sense with the rest of the story. At the end of their round, they too will pose a challenge for the instigator to overcome.

2. This is a tournament debate, so a forfeit will conduct in t

The US Should Have Better Gun Control

2013-05-18T23:13:42-08:00

(Post Voting Period) I believe that the lack of gun control in the Unites States is a serious danger to the public, in nations with full gun control the homicide rate, armed robbery rate, and suicide rates are much lower. First Round is for acceptance Second Round is for initial arguments & rebuttals Third Round is for further arguments & rebuttals Fourth Round is final rebuttals & concluding statements only, no new arguments

You Just Lost The Game

(Post Voting Period)

I stand in affirmation that you, the contender, just lost the game.

What is the game, you might ask?

Rules of The Game:
1. Everyone is playing the game.
2. If someone thinks about the game, they lose the game.
3. If someone loses the game, they restart and continue to play the game.

Therefore, I instigate the following:

1. My opponent is playing the game.
2. My opponent has just thought about the game.
3. My opponent must still be playing the game, because if he lost prior, he still continues to play.

Therefore, my opponent just lost the game.

No One Has Ever Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to Do Look More Like

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?

Science proves no one has gone can for are to rock decide jump thus to from a jetpack. [http://www.dafk.net/what/]

If scientists can't decide whether destroy for look even, did he? No. I'm common sense.

2. Economic For To Behave

If the economy depends are for lift quickly, then where are we expect one going far even as to decide not to eat bank

For Religious people there is no Religious argument against homosexuality.

2013-06-11T03:28:41-08:00

(Post Voting Period) With most religious people that have a disagreement with homosexuality they say that there is a "choice" on what sexuality you can be. Or that the bible and god have told them that it is a sin for a man to lie with a man. I would like to debate someone on this matter someone that believes it is a choice and also believes that the bible and god have told them it is a sin.

In general, Sonic Customers should not feel obligated to tip Sonic servers

2013-06-08T18:04:35-08:00

(Post Voting Period)

For many years, customers in Western European cultures have felt inclined to tip their servers. We've reached a point in society where tips are expected; if not expected, then outright demanded. Some restaurants include an automatic gratuity fee. Some servers react harshly to not receiving what they believe is "owed." I'm sure I could provide countless examples of unjust behavior which many of you would be able to relate to.

Nonetheless, I'm here today to discuss the fast food restaurant officially known as "Sonic Drive-in." [1] Because I firmly believe that tipping servers at this restaurant is unjust and unwise, I strongly affirm the position that Sonic customers who eat at Sonic should not feel obligated to tip Sonic servers.

Same-Sex Marriage Will Lead to Marriage Involving Animals, Siblings, or Children

2013-06-16T19:45:47-08:00

(Post Voting Period) My opponent and I will be arguing one of the historic anti-gay marriage debates. The statement is that the allowance of gay marriage can serve as a "gateway" for the allowance of other types of relationships which go against the societal "norm", including animals, children, siblings, corpses, etc, etc. "Marriage" in this debate is defined as a legal and binding relationship recognized by United States government. No semantics arguments. First round is solely acceptance.

Skepticism Leads to Atheism

2013-06-13T17:47:56-08:00

(Post Voting Period) First of all, this is my first debate here. I have never been a fan of any formal debating format, but I'll do my best. It is my position that an application of skepticism necessarily leads to atheism. Con's position will be that an application of skepticism need not lead to atheism. Definitions: Skepticism: A position of doubt; a claim that the truth of a claim is uncertain [1] [2] Atheism: The lack of belief in a God or gods [3] [4] Sources: [1] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/skepticism [2] http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/skepticism?q=skepticism [3] http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheism [4] http://oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/atheism?q=atheism
