The Marxist theory of natural State disintegration is false

socialpinko
Neuhaus1994

===Definitions===


The "Marxist theory of natural State disintegration" may be aptly summarized by Marx and Engels themselves from the Manifesto of the Communist Party:


Political power [the State], properly so called, is merely the organised power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat in its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by force of circumstances, to organise itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution it makes...

Homosexual acts are immoral

socialpinko
NewCreature

Pro will offer their opening arguments in support of the resolution in R1 and will not post in R4 so as to maintain equality in case length.


===Definitions===


Homosexual acts refer to consensual sex acts between two or more members of the same sex. To keep the debate focused I will obviously not be defending male on male or female on female rape. I will only be defending consensual gay sex against the charges of immorality.

Alcohol should be banned, and marijuana should be legalized.

JohnJuan
socialpinko

Alocohol causes hundreds/thousands of death's every year. Marjuana does not. Alcohol is simply a bad drug, it does not even give the user a good high from it. I should have never been legalized in the first place. Marijuana actually has good medical purposes for it's use, such as to stop pain such as with cancer patients. There are no benefits from consuming alcohol accept for the possibility of dying in a car crash or getting charged with a dui and getting slapped with a $3,000 or higher fine....

Terrorism can be justified

socialpinko
FourTrouble

In this debate I will be defending the thesis that terrorism can in some instances be justified and that there is nothing logically or definitionally prohibiting it from ever being a justifiable course of action. My burden will be to advance and defend an argument in support of my thesis. My opponent will take the opposite view and their burden in this debate will be to disprove my argument.


===Definitions===


There are a great deal of mutually incompatible...
