.9999 repeating = 1
As we all should know: .9 = 9/10 .99 = 99/100 .999 = 999/1000 etc. In this debate, I support the notion that an infinite number of 9's after the decimal place is simply a different notation for writing the number 1. My claim is simply that .99999... (where the "..." denotes repeating) = 1 exactly....

Congress should approve an extension of the Trade Promotion Authority
First I would like thank my opponent for accepting this debate. Next for the people judging this round I'm going to refer to the Trade Promotion Authority as TPA. Now for all the people that don't know what TPA is, it allows for the president to bypass congress in the creation of trade agreements. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_track_(trade) and last but not least I ask all the judges to vote on the information presented in this round not any outside influence. ===================== O...
Resolution TBA.

In the contender's round 1, he/she will propose 3 different topics of debate that COVER VARIOUS FIELDS. (I don't want 3 debates about abortion but worded differently, for example.

Morality can be mandated.
Round 3 - go! I affirm that morality can be mandated. The definition of morality as stated on dictionary.com is as follows - conformity to the rules of right conduct. The definition of mandated reads - a command or authorization to act in a particular way on a public issue. So in other words, the resolution states - You can command/authorize rules of right conduct to act in a particular way on a public issue. This statement obviously rings true because it is enacted in our society every s...

First I thank my opponent for accepting this debate and ask all who vote on this topic to vote on what is presented in the round not what you believe So to clarify this topic, what I am affirming is that the US government (though acts of congress) should have the right to limit citizens rights to freedom of speech and protest against a war if found that it put the US at a military disadvantage during a time of war. To define some words. All come from www.merriam-webster.com Limit- to rest...
