The Atlanta Falcons Won't Win A Playoff Game This Year
The Atlanta Falcons have the best record in the NFC and are tied with the best record in the NFL. That typically means the team will at the very least wind up winning at least one playoff game. However, I believe the Falcons will be one and done....
Should The U.S. Give Amnesty to Illegal Mexicans?
There are many reasons why the United States should not give amnesty to current illegal Mexican immigrants. I have 3 main points to back up my argument. (1) Jobs (2)Welfare and food stamps (3) Votes For my first main point I would like to point out how hard it is to find a job these days. Unemployment has skyrocketed the last 12 years.

North Korea does not pose a threat as most people believe; more notoriety should be pointed towards direct, clear thr...
Catholic Christianity's beliefs are false
I don't really think definitions are necessary. A couple of arguments to start off with: 1. Catholic beliefs are absurd. For example, the concept of believing a man was born of a virgin is unrealistic. 2. Pretty much every Catholic response to an Atheist argument as as well questionable. For example, "evil in the world comes from Satan from when evil triumphed over good." To that I'd say prove it. 3. I don't believe in your god for the same reasons you don't believe in other religion...

The Cato Institute does not deserve respect or credibility
The Cato Institute (www.cato.org) is a influential American think tank, headquartered in Washington D.C. According to the 2011 Global Go To Think Tank Index, Cato is the 6th most influential US based think tank, ranking 3rd in Economic Policy and 2nd in Social Policy. It was founded in 1974 by Murray Rothbard, Ed Crane, and Charles Koch. In this debate I will argue against the widespread respect it garners from the academic and policy communities and instead portray it as a bastion of simple pro...
