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...

Topic #13: Limiting EI ought to be a more important social goal than increasing EF.
Limiting economic inequality ought to be a more important social goal than increasing economic freedom. Laymans Terms Economic Inequality (EI): Rich and Poor, aka, not having the same finacial staus Economic Freedom (EF): Being able to send your money however you want, and inversly, varying pay whether high or low.

Topic #29: Plea Bargaining should be Banned. (Attempt 2)
Topic 29 of Round 2. Darth_Grievous_42 vs PublicForumG-d. To be judged by usernames Evan_MacIan, shaqdaddy34, and dmill2010. As Pro, I will be defending that Plea Bargaining should be banned, thus the polar opposite of my stance that PublicForumG-d will have to defend is that Plea Bargaining should NOT be banned. As I am not well versed in foreign court procedures, I will be arguing from an American Perspective. If my opponent wishes to bring up worldwide cases he is more than welcome to do so,...
War. HU! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing.
As Pro, I am going to be defending that war (the fighting killing kind) is good for absolutly nothing. I'm going to try something different, and take all my points from War's (the band) song "War". It will be up to my opponent to rebutte all of these points using logic and examples, not just subjective opinions, and if they are good they will also give reasons why war might actually be good for something. This isn't an attack on the current war, World War 2, the 7 years war (etc), directly; just...
I believe some people on this website are incompetent in making propositions.
I hold the belief that many people on this website simply do horribly when creating their propositions. Some of them are worded in such a way that they are not propositions, some of them are worded in such a way that the topic is confusing....
Palaeontology Is the most Controversial Scientific Field
Palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. My agreement is that it is the most controversial field of study on the planet. How can I say this? Because it challenges every religion on Earth to its own validity. Faith rules the world, like it or not. The most prominent is Christianity, followed by Muslims, then Hindu, and Buddhists as the top four. The Christian and Hindu creation stories can be found here: http://www.bible...
Humans have not advanced beyond their technology for its entire existence.
Is this an impossible idea? Seemingly so, but it's not. That is my position. People, primarily those of homo-sapien decent, like to imagine that they are the most advanced creature on the planet. The top predator, the best melder of the world around it, the most intelligent. But is this really so? Look at your body. Do you see claws? How about fangs? Poison quills? I sure don't. Odd, these traits are usually found in dangerous predators in the natural world. Well, we'll come back to that. I assu...
The police force is only around due to human stupidity.
Anyone can fall down a flight of stairs and break a wrist, thus the need for on public service: health care. As well, any stray spark form a number of sources can cause a fire, thus the need for the second utility: fire control. However, it is a person's choice to steal a TV. It is a person's choice to take a knife and stab someone. It is a person's choice to kidnap a girl and rape her. Thus, the police force is only around to manage mankind's inner corruptness and evil. It is therefore the one...
