Death penalty is wrong.
Im going to keep this short and simple why the death penalty? A few people have said... It gives an easy way out? How would anyone know what an individual wants , noone wants to die. The death penalty is established in many countries in different ways..hanging ..legal injection , etc. This is humane Ive seen statistically how many teenagers.. are waiting in Death row, its preety dispicable people need rehabilitation Not just death people may think its an easy way out for prisoners. But no...
Chuck Norris facts are overrated.
Ok, as you are all aware of, Chuck Norris jokes are popular on the Internet. Examples include "Chuck Norris can strangle you with a cordless phone" and "If you have 5 dollars and Chuck Norris has 5 dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you." You can't go on the internet for 2 seconds (overexaggeration) without bumping into one. They are claimed to be fact, but are impossible to preform in real life. He is just an actor. Why should he be a big joke? He has numerous website's about these s...

I thank my opponent for participating in this tournament. RESOLVED: Affirmative action should be practiced in college admissions. DEFINITIONS: Affirmative Action: The encouragement of increased representation of women and minority-group members, esp. in employment. Contention 1: Affirmative action reverses racism. Socially we are a white, male society. This has been true since our countries founding. Racism even starts at birth ( http://www.world-science.net/exclusives/060212_race...
D.A.R.E. successfully prevents drug use and violence in its graduates

There is no God
I will be the affirmative or be proving that there is no God. America, founded in secularism as a beacon of eighteenth century enlightenment, is becoming the victim of religious politics, a circumstance that would have horrified the Founding Fathers. The political ascendancy today values embryonic cells over adult people. It obsesses about gay marriage, ahead of genuinely important issues that actually make a difference to the world. It gains crucial electoral support from a religious const...
Children shouldn't be pressured or forced to accept their parents' religion
I stand in affirmation. Children should get to choose for themselves which religion, or none at all, that they wish to participate in. Parents should expose children to all different types of faith and ultimately let the kids decide instead of the parents deciding. Let's just say hypothetically that Christianity is the one true faith. Then the Christian parents seem to have done the right thing in forcing their kids to be Christian. They just saved the kids and ensured their place in hea...
Organic is better.
Organic" is a term that I would like to refer to as producing food without the employment of chemically formulated fertilizers, growth stimulants, antibiotics, or pesticides. Though organic foods may be pricey, overall they have great benefits. Not only benefits for your own self being, but benefits on your environment and your planet, Earth. Now in order to completely understand this debate, you should be aware of the history of organic food. Organic food (farming actually) was first introdu...
