Chuckles' Debates

DDRPscyho is Jesus.

I affirm the above resolution stating that DDRPsycho (my opponent) is Jesus. and no, Jesus, I'm not a crackhead and i am not currently on weed. Here are my reasons for this belief. 1. He has long hair 2. He has some facial hair going on. (not a lot, look close at his picture) 3. His screen name, though unable to fool me, actually gives me a vital clue to my case: DDR. Otherwise commonly known as Dance Dance Revolution. We know from the internet that Jesus is a skilled and ad...

Marijuana should be legalized in the US

I already posted this debate but my opponent was unable to post argu First off i'll start by saying under a government that allows the use of tobacco (specifically cigarettes) and alcohol, that same government should also allow marijuana (for recreational and medicinal purposes). I'll start with showing that marijuana is safer than cigarettes: Many say a marijuana is worse because it has no filter. But they do not realize that when you cigarette you smoke the whole thing down, whereas with m...

Separation of Church and State Should Be Absolute

For any state to be truly free, especially in a functioning democracy, we must have the absolute separation of church and state. Without the separation of any sort of religious influence from state affairs it not only hurts the state but also puts religions under government influence. There are many empirical examples of how interference with state by the church and visa versa have harmed both....

Resolved:In a democracy, civil disobedience is an appropriate weapon in the fight for justice.

basically i want to see what people will say to this. it is the National Forensics League's January topic for Public forum Debate. I chose Con. I negate this resolution because: 1. Civil Disobedience (CD) is not within the parameters of a democracy, as the people's voice is already heard. 2. CD can cause threat to personal security due to the breach of the social contract. 1. in a true democracy, all people's views and voice would already be heard. A democracy, by definition, represents ...

Iran presents a real threat to the welfare of the United states and the world

I believe Iran presents a true threat to the welfare of the united states and in fact the world. The reasons i present to support this statement are: 1. Nuclear Capability 2. Terrorist Funds 3. Religion 1. While there was a report that said Iran stopped pursuing nuclear weapons in 2003, there are other reports (notice it's plural) from both the US and Israel and more, that estimate Iran will have the capability to produce Nuclear Weapons (NWs) ranging from as early as 2009 to almost 2020. ...

About Me

"I am a junior at Sky View High. I love debate and music too. I play the bass and a tiny bit of guitar (like 5 chords). I am on my Debate team and we've taken state the last 5 years in a row. I have competed in Congress (blegh), Impromptu, and Public Forum. I've gotten a few trophies of my own, though not nearly as many as some of my friends. As for music i like tons of stuff ranging from Norah Jones and Matt Costa to Jimi Hendrix to Behemoth and Lamb of God, basically tons of bands and artists in genres anywhere between Easy Listening and Death Metal. Just message me or something if you wanna know anything more!"

What I Believe

"I don't know what i believe on most topics. I was raised Mormon but i'm not involved with that church anymore, although i do know plenty about it, if you have a question about it, ask, cuz i still highly respect the religion. I go to Sky View High, live in Cache valley which you could rename Mormon Central. I support legalization of marijuana but either oppose legalization of "harder" drugs or haven't researched that drug. And i fucking hate election season."
