Quotes:	"A depraved taste for equality, which impels the weak to attempt to lower the powerful to their own level and reduces men to prefer equality in slavery to inequality with freedom." -Alexis de Tocqueville "The trouble with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people's money." -Margaret Thatcher "The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design." -F.A. Hayek "It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master." "Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter." -Ayn Rand

Objectivism is valid.

The concern of this debate shall be the validity of the philosophy of Objectivism. Objectivism is the philosophy that is intended for use as a guide in every day life and dictates four things: 1.There is an objective reality that exists independent of human perception and desires, i.e. facts are facts.2.The means by which this reality must be perceived is reason. This is because reason is the only means by which data input through our senses can be translated into meaningful information.3.One m...

Should the U.S. have created a single-payer health care system instead of Obamacare?

First round is for acceptance, second is for opening statements third and fourth are for rebuttals, and fifth is for closing statements. I will be arguing Pro (for) in this debate as I feel that the U.S. should have created a single-payer health care system instead of passing Obamacare. The opponent will have to argue that Obamacare is a better option than a single-payer health care system, however, they could also argue for an alternative system over single-payer or what was at the time the...

Was the Japanese Internment Camps Right or Wrong?

I think that it was right to put them into camps because it was for our safety. Of Course they didn't like it, but they also didn't have a problem with it because they were fed, had clothes, had shelter, kids could go to school, and the parents had the opportunity to work. Even if none of them were spies, it doesn't mean that we couldn't take precaution. Also if we didn't do that the Americans would have rebelled and tried to harm the Japanese Americans. So in a sense, we protected them....

Essential services should be socialized, and privatized services should be regulated.

I will begin by offering 3 main premises for my argument. 1. Most essential services that all human beings are entitled to as members of society should be socialized. Socialized, meaning owned and operated by the community as a whole, whether that means through the Government, or by general worker consensus. Essential services include healthcare, education, food/housing for the poor, roads, public transit, etc. I am now ready to hear from my opponent. 2. Other services (As in, cell phones...

•	Abortion	ConComments Biologically living before conception however sentience or even potential sentience is the cutoff. This means when even a simple nervous system begins to develop being somewhere around 2 weeks. If one is to abort however, the use of something similar to the morning after pill which can arrest fetal development before the zygote begins to divide rapidly would be preferable even to a 1 week abortion.

•	Animal Rights	N/O
•	Barack Obama	Con
•	Border Fence	Con
•	Capitalism	Pro
•	Civil Unions	Pro
•	Death Penalty	Pro
•	Drug Legalization	Pro
•	Electoral College	Pro
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments Environmental protection and free markets are not mutually exclusive and by free markets, I mean pure free markets.
•	Estate Tax	Con
•	European Union	Con
•	Euthanasia	Und
•	Federal Reserve	Con
•	Flat Tax	Con
•	Free Trade	Pro
•	Gay Marriage	Pro
•	Global Warming Exists	UndComments Pleas do no misconstrue this to mean I believe there is no way it can possibly exist, I just do not believe there is enough scientific evidence to prove it does exist and is anthropogenic or that even if it does exist that we can or should do something or that action will have a significant impact.
•	Globalization	Pro
•	Gold Standard	ConComments A gold standard, although superior to fiat money, is inferior to denationalized currency.
•	Gun Rights	Pro
•	Homeschooling	Pro
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments Censorship only by parents of what their children can use or see while they are still legally minors or by a private server of what can be posted on their site. Otherwise, no.
•	Iran-Iraq War	Con
•	Labor Union	ProComments So long as government does not give them special consideration they can organize as much as they want.
•	Legalized Prostitution	Pro
•	Medicaid & Medicare	Con
•	Medical Marijuana	Pro
•	Military Intervention	ConComments Only if the government of the nation in which we are intervening is posing a direct threat to the U.S. in which case we should not only topple the existing government but also admit the former nation as a U.S. territory whose citizens should have the rights of U.S. citizens. Otherwise I prefer a more economically based deterrent to potential threats and genocidal governments.
•	Minimum Wage	Con
•	National Health Care	Con
•	National Retail Sales Tax	Con
•	Occupy Movement	Con
•	Progressive Tax	Con
•	Racial Profiling	Con
•	Redistribution	ConComments Not much different from basic socialism. To each according to his needs, and from each according to his ability... problem is the needy will keep getting needier.
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments Partial bans of any narcotic or other mind influencing drugs are necessary to ensure that these people who do use do not infringe on the rights of others in society in the process. That's why there's no drinking and driving (protects right to life and personal safety on the road), and little to no smoking in most public places (protects your right to your personal health). However, I do not believe that regulation of privately owned establishments (restaurants, movie theaters, etc.) is necessary, the market will sort that out generally by scaring off potential customers who prefer clean air to that of smoke.

•	War in Afghanistan	Con
•	War on Terror	ConComments Necessary for national security but could be done a bit better. Fortunately, we are headed that way and technology can help make it better.
•	Welfare	Con
