Alright, for starters, the definition of the word poser means basically someone pretending like they can do something.Your not pretending to skateboard if you do. Next, all skaters start somewhere, even Tony Hawk had to learn to Skate board. If you saw him back then would you call him a poser if you knew what he was going to be.The lamest part about it is if you call skateboard beginner a poser, chances are your just trying to 1up yourself.WHAT THE HELL! Heres a definition from slangsite.com ...

Letting someone die is just as bad as killing them.

Yes, I know, this is a slightly confusing debate topic, but I couldn't really word it in 100 characters. To simplify things I will prevent a scenario. Scenario: Drowning child-Version 1 Person X is babysitting his 6 year old brother. X's father is an extremely rich widower, who although X is older has put the younger child as his heir. X drowns the child while he is bathing, and calls it an accident. Version 2 Person X is babysitting his 6 year old brother. X's father is an extremely ric...

The U.S. should build a fence on its southern border in order to reduce illegal immigration.

I think a border fence would be excellent in keeping illegals out of the U.S. There are already several cities in the U.S. where fences are put up (San Diego, Nogales, El Paso.) All have reduced illegal immigration. The problem is we don't have enough Border Patrol and a fence on the southern border would help immensely. Here are my reasons: 1. The fence will be hard to penetrate. This is a main controversy of the...anti-border fence people. What good is 6-foot high chicken wire? Well first,...

Resolved: The 2nd Amendment is unconstitutional.

Militia: Armed forces, AND a military unit made up of free-citizens to fight any oppressive regime if necessary.

They knew it would be necessary for the PEOPLE to protect their free state against a possible tyrant who controls the military.

feminism is marxism

The personal is political. http://scholar.alexanderstreet.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=2259 The paper, "The Personal Is Political," was originally published in Notes from the Second Year: Women's Liberation in 1970 and was widely reprinted and passed around the Movement and beyond in the next several years. I didn't know just how much it had gotten around until I did a Goggle search and found it being discussed in many different languages. I'd like to clarify for the record that I d...

Parameters: The right to bear arms: For PRO, I have to defend that it is an individual right of the people to keep and bear arms. CON must show that it is a militia-only right. Contention 1: The grammar of the second amendment strongly suggests that the right to bear arms is an individual right. The version of the Second Am...

The United States federal government should provide universal health care to its citizens.

First, parameters. Universal Health care: any system of health care that the federal government pays for for all citizens Other than that, I think we're fine. If you feel other parameters are necessary, let me know. My case: The question that is important in this situation is: "What is the purpose of a government?" The answer to this question is that a government is supposed to protect the rights of the people. The people form governments to escape the so-called state of nature, in whic...

About Me

"I have many interests. I like debating anything really, I joined this site because my debate season was over. I am very interested in philosophy, esp. ethics and metaphysics. I also like politics and political philosophy. I also am interested in nature, it's like a big system with everything coordinating perfectly, to me it is the biggest empirical evidence of an intelligent designer. I am, not however very religious, but I believe in God, that Jesus is his son and stuff, so you could call me a Christian. If you want to learn more, debate me, and you'll find out. (Whoa, that sounded a little weird didn't it?)"

What I Believe

"I believe that governments are meant to protect rights, and that the best way to do this is to have a strong market economy, and protection from threats and domestic crime. Other than that, I believe that government should keep its nose out of things that it shouldn't stick its nose into."
