In the United States, the Estate Tax should be abolished
No semantics, first round for acceptance, and no new arguments in the last round.
Individualism is societally destructive
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...
The United States should establish a living wage
A living wage is a minimum wage that is above poverty and can sustain a person. Theoretically, different families and workers have different living wages. For example, I would set the living wage for one person sustaining only themselves at nine dollars and twenty cents. It would be higher for supporting kids, or a wife, or a husband, etc etc.
So, I will be saying this raise in min...
Abortion Should Get the Same Penalty As First Degree Murder
Rules: 1. You must argue against this stance BUT you must argue it from a pro-life perspective. You must defend the view that abortion is murder and should be illegal but argue that it should be treated definitely from ordinary murder. Argument: A woman who gets an abortion has made a plan, she planned for her baby to die and she knows he baby will die after the abortion. The doctor knows this too. The law should hold both liable for murder in the first degree and they should be sentenced t...

DDO OT Final: US hegemony is desirable.
Thanks to my opponent for accepting. To clear up a few general facts before the debate starts. My opponent agrees to these things when she accepts: -Hegemony in this debate means over all dominance economically, militarily, and culturally. It does not mean that the US has ultimate power or can do whatever it wants, but rather that the extent of its power is of a far greater scope than other nations. -In the status quo, the US has hegemony. -Desirable entails a real world applicati...

Most Important Battles Challenge (4)
Hello, this is 1Historygenius, the Master Historian of this website, and YOU have been challenged to my third most important battles challenge (well, really a redo of one)! Rules: We will debate battles for different wars and time periods. What happens is that every round a battle will be placed by each person. The voters will decide who has the more important battle for that round. Who ever has the most will get the most points from the votes and thus win. Sieges are not included in this....
Resolved: No government is preferable to an oppressive government
Thanks to Zaradi for agreeing to debate this with me for the semifinal round of the DDO tournament. Standard rules apply. No semantics, no new arguments in the last round, ect. As we're both experienced debaters I dont really think we need to worry about this coming down to a definitions or semantics war, but its always best to make sure. Round one is acceptance and I look forward to the debate....
