Fair Tax can be implemented in such a way so that it is effectively progressive.
I've heard fairtax called regressive many many times before- I believe that a fairtax can be implemented in such a way so that it is basically progressive....
All drugs should be legal to sell, produce, distribute, and to be consumed by consenting adults.
I support the legalization of all drugs, (Or for them to be legal) be it Cannabis, Alcohol, Heroin, Cocaine, Vicodin, ETC ETC...
Agnostics are just atheists without balls.
First of all, I did not make up my topic sentence, I took it from the book "I am America (and so can you) by Stephen Colbert, just in case you all start yelling "plagiarist". But this debate is about whether that is just a joke or not. I think it isn't just a joke and that agnostics are in fact atheists with no courage to admit it. Believe it or not, studies show that atheists are the most discriminated minority at least in America. That's a perfect reason for someone who is really an atheist t...
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The irrationality of liberals over the years has made me come to the conclusion that liberalism is a mental disorder and I will largely support my claim from the book "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness" written by the acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Lyle Rossiter. The point of this is not to prove that liberalism is wrong, but that it is infact completely irrational and indeed a mental disorder....
Bestiality should be legal so long as permission is given by the owner of the pet or animal.
I beleive that animals, being slaves to humans, have no rights against sex acts- and therefore there should not be laws against sex acts between a man and his property, whatever that property might be....
Majority should decide whether or not a political policy is implemented.
I do not believe that majority should decide whether a policy is implemented, as majority is not necessarily correct- nor will majority generally maximize liberty. My opponent is asking me to hurry up on AIM so I'll keep my opening short....
Do non-human animals have rights?
Human beings are complex evolved creatures who are accorded rights on the basis that they are able to think and to feel pain. Many other animals are also able to think (to some extent) and are certainly able to feel pain. Therefore non-human animals should also be accorded rights, e.g. to a free and healthy life. And also, ever since the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859 we have known that human beings are related by common descent to all other animals. We owe a duty o...
9/11 was an 'inside' job, done by the government of the United States.
As this is a five round debate, I think I have some room for a simple opening argument. I have tried to follow the conspiracy theories as much as possible, and I have yet to come across one that really made sense when examined carefully....
Minumim Wage: Should it become a reality?
Minumum wage should become a reality simply because everyone with an occupation would be assured a good amount of money. Enough money to support a family and/or surviving in life (getting food, clothes, ect.). It's as simple as that....
There is no significant proof that GW Bush lied to get into Iraq.
The proposition is pretty clear, I have yet to see any real evidence that Bush lied, except maybe a few people claiming he did with no evidence....
