Should congress lift the off shore drilling ban?
Although not a total solution to our nations growing energy crisis, I believe we must still proceed with gathering what resources we can. In my hearts of hearts I feel that our great nation still has enough resources to provide our economy with enough resources to lessen our dependency on foreign oil. By lifting the ban on offshore drilling congress would take an important step in expanding our options for energy exploration. Estimates say we may be able to produce 1 million barrels a day fr...
April topic for POFOers only take if you are in POFO.
Practice for Nat Quals Resolved: That the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 will successfully mitigate economic slowdowns over the next year. Observation 1-The affirmative must prove that the economic stimulus act by itself will mitigate not any other corresponding policies such as Term Auction Facility Observation 2-The resolution is that the economic stimulus act will successfully mitigate the economic down turn in the next year. You do not win simply by showing that there was some mitigat...
"Does God Exist," Redux - A-ThiestSocialist has failed to prove that God exists
In the recent debate, "Does God Exist?", A-ThiestSocialist proposed to "prove" that God exists, through several supposedly logical arguments. He "won" that debate, by virtue of his opponent forfeiting all rounds - which was in my opinion unfortunate, as this meant that the arguments proposed were never really analyzed. I believe these arguments are all fatally flawed, and that in fact A-ThiestSocialist (hmmm...I need to ask about that name) failed to prove his point. Note that I am initially...
Does God exist?
I would first like to clarify exactly what my standard for this debate is, and provide some background for this discussion. 1st Observation: I am arguing for theism, that is to say a rational God does exist. But further I am arguing for an only for the Christian God, as revealed by the holy scriptures. 2nd Observation: The affirmative does not necessarily have the burden of proof, since a negative absolute is able to be proven in this debate by an analysis of the arguments current and pri...
Does God exist?
Before I begin, please only accept this debate if you will actually respond and debate. The last try I had at this, the guy never actually posted.

Ronald Reagan hurt America, more than he helped it.
Before I begin with my case, I ask that any members voting on the round put their personal political beliefs behind, and simply vote specifically on the round. I intend to prove the resolution though analysis of the actions of Reagan, and their impacts. First, I'd like to begin with the following observations. Observation 1: In this debate we simply can't compare all 43 Presidents, so let's not try. The weighing mechanism should be an overall look at his record, and weighing what he did....
weather or not the us would be justified in persuing military action aginst iran
here are three reasons why i dont support the resloution Brookings.edu. testomony/2005/0908iran_byman.aspx 1. Iran has no nuclear weapons. The UN weapons inspectors could not find them or any sign of them in the country that is 4% smaller size than that of Alaska. However, what they did find were nuclear power plants that were using uranium and plutonium to produce electricity for the ever growing population. There are currently around 70 million people in Iran. And they are slowly dwi...
