Strict constructionist judges should not be appointed to the United States Supreme Court
Greetings, In this debate, I will be arguing that strict constructionist judges should not be appointed to the United States Supreme Court.

In this debate, here are my main arguments: By appointing strict constructionist judges to the United States Supreme Court, only the o...
The state is not necessary in a capitalist society
Capitalism can effectively substitute, if not exceed, any service the state provides, including a police force, fire control, judicial system, ect. I await my opponent's rebuttal, and wish him the best of luck....

Universal Health Care
America is the greatest nation in the World. As I am disappointed by the why our "leaders" have handle this country the past 8 years, and even beyond that, I can still say I love my country.

We are the only westeren civilized nation that uses profits as the main motivat...

Industrial Hemp could save our Economy
The problem: Our economy is in crisis. The US government over the span of the last 100 years has perverted the purpose and responsibility of the United States to meet their own selfish and greedy desires. It all started with the criminalization of Industrial Hemp i.e.: Reefer Madness, DuPont family, and corrupt elected officials.

If a president has an approval rating of 33% then they should honorably resign.

A few presidents that have achieved extremely low approval ratings are Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and both George Bush's. Since approval ratings vary, this debate will circle around th...
