Censorship in the Media should be Abolished
As Pro, I will be defending the stance that all forms of media censorship (a.k.a. bleeping curse words, black barring sexual scenes, cutting violent scenes) must be abolished, thus, the polar opposite of my stance that my opponent must take is that all forms of media censorship must not be abolished (could be interpreted to mean "stay as they are"). This is not a purely American debate, thus, I will not discuss the First Amendment, and by accepting this debate, neither will my opponent. There...

The Big Issues
Someone who is willing to take up this debate will choose the topic. I am in the mood for a debate, but am not sure what it should be about.
