Resolved: Opposites rarely attract and discourage romantic relationships for the most part.
Throughout life, you're bound to run into someone who'll claim that opposites attract. Enlightening as it may seem at the time you hear it, it is simply a phrase which the real world hardly supports. In today's round, the job of the affirmative side will be to prove the previous statement beyond the notion of a doubt. First, I'd like to cite a study provided by BBC news during the year of 2003: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3031396.stm. This source was conducted mostly through means of de...

People on debate.com need to get their resolutions/arguments straight.
A lot of people on debate.com make their arguments things such as double-negatives. It gets very confusing. For instance, consider this: "Income tax is not unconstitutional." The person who accepted this round thought he was debating that it was constitutional and 'Conceded' the round. Also, take a more simple one: The big bang theroy is not true. People, they give you a choice to be pro or con. On the description of 'Con' here, it says I am against the topic. So are you against the big bang o...
Palaeontology Is the most Controversial Scientific Field
Palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. My agreement is that it is the most controversial field of study on the planet. How can I say this? Because it challenges every religion on Earth to its own validity. Faith rules the world, like it or not. The most prominent is Christianity, followed by Muslims, then Hindu, and Buddhists as the top four. The Christian and Hindu creation stories can be found here: http://www.bible...
Should sex education be taught in grade schools?
Sex education should be taught in grade schools to students. Puberty begins at the age of twelve for females and thirteen for males. Puberty is a time of confusion, questioning, and self-examination, along with emotional and physical change. Alot of children and teens are uncomfortable talking to their parents about sexual behaviors and questions and are left feeling helpless. Sex education in grade schools allows a child to be able to freely express themselves emotionally, ask questions, ga...

Firefox is better than IE
Firefox is more standards-compliant than Internet Explorer. This means that properly-designed sites will look better in Firefox. For example, Internet Explorer continues not to support the XHTML 1.1 standard, which is several years old. Firefox also provides more methods of customization. Firefox is also more secure....
God is against gay marriage. God hates homosexuals. According to god, they should be put to death.
According to the believers of god and the "holy" bible, homosexuality is not only consider something bad but it's also considered a deadly sin. According to the bible, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -- Lev.20:13. Would you kill a gay person for being gay? According to god, you should. Leviticus is not the only book in the bible that deal with homosexuality....
The Playstation 3 is a bad system to own.
I believe the PS3 is a bad system to own. 1) The cost. It costs more to make a PS3 than it sells for. So, they have to make all their money on games. But their games SUCK. Which I'll get to later. The estimated cost before the release of the PS3 was $900, estimating based on the components that go into it. But, Sony released it for $600. Sony loses from $241 to $307 for each console they SELL. 2) Graphics + the CPU. Yes, I will admit that the CPU is better than the Xbox 360 or the Wii. But, th...
