It is probable that God exists
I thank my opponent for his willingness to debate me on this topic, hopefully we will have a nice discussion. As the affirmative, I will accept the burden of proof in proving the existence of God. My opponent can present his own arguments if he pleases, but he is under no obligation to do so. He is obligated however to attack my arguments in the 2nd round. My advocacy will be defending the conception of God as the powerful, sentient creator of the Universe, by showing that both scientificall...
Conservatism and Libertarianism
I am Affirming. The burden of proof is shared, my opponent needs to show that on balance, the goals of Libertarianism and Conservatism are too far apart to be treated as actual allies.
What exactly defines a Libertarian and Conservative will be a point of contention between my opponent and myself, but my opponent acknowledges upon accepting that the definitions need...
God isn't real
If anyone wants to take this, go for it....

The Pro will have the primary burden of proof in formulating and defending an argument against the existence of an afterlife. Con's burden will be to deconstruct and refute Pro's case.

God: The divine author of all things; the creator of the universe and the laws thereof. An omniscient, and omnipotent being.
At no point can this definition be questioned or altered by either side in the course of this debate.
5000 character limit, Round 1 is for acceptance.
Resolved: The Death Penalty Should be Removed
Justification through economical, moral, political and/or legal are all legitimate, regardless of if both opponents argue differently (I may argue through legal and moral while my opponent justifies through economical and political for example). Thus both parties involved may choose what they will justify through what means. Death penalty: "Capital punishment, the death penalty, death sentence, or execution is a legal process whereby a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for...
Dueling should be legalized
This debate was inspired by this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuBnlNjZq24 A duel is a scheduled, consensual, and organized fight between 2 or more individuals, to the death or otherwise. Many states in the United States have prohibited the practice, and it is that that I will argue against. There is no need for a duel to have specific steps taken in order to be legitimate, although most duels would follow the old method in which the challenged had the choice of weapons and second...
In this scenario, Darth Vader would defeat Batman
SCENARIO:
As part of his Jedi extermination victory tour, Lord Vader traveled the galaxy, and made a scheduled landing on Earth where he visited Gotham city. Lacking Jedi to kill, Vader was very thirsty for a fight.
On the subway, he saw a man in a really stupid outfit trying to court a pretty girl, and he brushed...
