This house applauds GMA attempts in fighting terrorism in Mindanao.
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo should continue in fighting terrorism in Mindanao because if the terrorists there will know that there is this someone that who is always willing to fight against them, it will not be easy for them to terrorize the whole country. Besides, terrorism is doing no good in our country.. so it is best just to fight them....
You slice the cake, I'll pick the first piece
The above is not the actual resolution I am debating, it is a metaphor that sets the terms of this challenge.. My opponent shall write the resolution, any resolution they please. I then choose which position on it I will argue (So I may or may not be the actual "Pro" in this debate). So, I advise you to only accept this debate if A. You are a traditional debate wonk who is willing to argue any position, or B. you are quite sure the resolution is one on which I'll actually disagree with you on (m...
I will not break a rule.
0. By accepting this debate, my opponent agrees to all the rulse already posted. This debate poses off of another debate that was quite comical to me. 1. Rules created hold power over all rules posted later, and no later rule can contradict an earlier rule. 2. Both players should still have the ability to post rules in their turn. 3. A violation of a rule that is not null and void will result in the rule-breaker losing this debate. 4. A player may only do something besides make rule...
The U.S. Constitution Should be Amended to Limit Judicial Activism
Currently, the Constitution does not specify how disputes over Constitutional rights should be resolved. It neither states the criteria for resolving them or the mechanism for the resolution. By tradition the Supreme Court resolves the issues using whatever criteria pleases them. The point of having a written constitution is to have laws prevail over men, so the ambiguity over the criteria and method is a serious defect that should be remedied. The Constitution should be amended to establish...
Should church owners be able to evade taxes?
I believe it's wrong. Opposition? Go first...
The Apocalypse will be seen in this life time
First I would like to explain the rules for this debate. each person will have 3 days to post. a very good amount of time to find anything they need to fight his/her argument. secondly, lets define Apocalypse, shall we? [Definition]#1 Great or total devastation; doom: the apocalypse of nuclear war. #2 A prophetic disclosure; a revelation. Thus meaning that humans do not need to be killed off for an Apocalypse to happen, and in no way am I saying(if humans are killed off) nothing else w...
Abortion is an inalienable right.
Abortion is an inalienable right. Abortion is not a violation of any right, because there is no such thing as the freedom to live inside (or outside) of another human being as a parasite, i.e., against the will of that person. This principle applies to both fetuses and adults. As a woman has a right to choose who she has sex with (as her body is her property), so is it a woman's right to choose what can and cannot remain inside her body (as her body is her property). As it is evil for someone...
Linux meets the needs of the average, adult computer user
Firstly, I'd like to present some ground work: -This debate is solely on the subject of "Linux meets the needs of the average computer user." Therefore, the refute can only be contained within the scope of "Linux does NOT meet the needs of the average computer user." This is not a debate of the merits of different operating systems (ie, Windows vs. Linux, Mac vs. Linux, etc) or why someone should or should not switch. -For simplicity, I'd like to limit the discussion to an opening statemen...
Left-side traffic is not better than right-side traffic
This debate is about road traffic systems. I am against the resolution that left side traffic is not better than right side traffic. In other words, I will attempt to prove that left side traffic is in fact better than right side traffic. Left side traffic is the system where we drive on the left side of the road (eg Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand). Right side traffic is the system where we drive on the right side of the road (eg France, Germany, USA). "Better" ----- we all shou...
