Theoretically, two objects that are not touching can always get closer.
This is meant to just be a simple theoretical debate. I am in support of the following theory... Two objects that are not touching can always get closer. To prove my theory, I want you to imagine a line and a wall. This line stretches to the wall but never touches it. BUT, it can always get closer. Let's just begin it with the line stretching so it gets as close as human eye's will allow it to get. Now I want you to add a "theoretical" microscope that can zoom in on anything. Zoom in so it...
An teleological and ontological question
Following the train of logic, does the summary below indicate that the universes' existence have a purpose and does it uncover intent? If so, what are some of its philosophical implications? "1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence. 2. The universe began to exist. 2.1 Argument based on the impossibility of an actual infinite. 2.11 An actual infinite cannot exist. 2.12 An infinite temporal regress of events is an actual infinite. 2.13 Therefore, an infinite temp...
Girls should "make the first move" more than they currently do now.
First I will elaborate on the proposition, so we can clearly understand the terms of this debate. The phrase "make the first move" will be defined by me as: 1. Asking a person out 2. Telling a person you have feelings (romantic, do you like me check yes or no , you get the idea) for them. NOT THE FIRST MOVE SEXUALLY, at least not in this debate. This debate will concern more with a girl proclaiming her like of the guy, rather than the social norm of the guy asking out the girl. By tak...
Sex is unhealthy and immoral
Sex is unhealthy and immoral. People who engage in random and emotionless sex are poisoning the world by spreading disease and sins of the flesh. God will smite thee who has sex! I look forward to debating an opponent who agrees....
Resolved: Debate.com should feature a catagory of debate called 'debate.com'
To make this perfectly clear, the catagories I am talking about are under the 'debate' tab at the top of your screen. The catagories currently are: All Arts Business Education Entertainment Health News Politics Regional Science Sports Technology There are few reasons why this should be added. 1. There are numerous amounts of debates on this site, about this site, but there is no clear place to put these debates. It would be clear where to put it, and would not create any confus...
Suicide should be legal.
I would first like to wish my opponent good luck. Unfortunately, this topic seems to me a bit harder to argue from my opponent's stance than my own, but I have faith that he will find some way to do it. Now, I will begin by defining some key terms. Suicide: the action of killing oneself intentionally. (source: Oxford) Legal: permitted by law. (source: Oxford) Based on these definitions, which are the most context relevant and apparent ones, suicide would have to be specifically prohibi...
Bi-lingual, bi-cultural education of the Deaf.
http://jimspoliticalthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/02/north-carolina-school-for-deaf.html This Sunday, as students arrived at the North Carolina School for the Deaf, instead of allowing them to go to the dining hall for dinner, as was required, students were detained to the campus chapel, held for 3-3 1/2 hours (for 2 hours with no food). The entire time, the Dorm Representatives, all of whom were Deaf, were not allowed into the chapel building, and there was not a single Deaf person to communica...
Bill O'Reilly is neither fair nor balanced.
I started this debate with another member and he never posted an argument. I am a conservative, yet I am fair minded and believe that Bill O'Reilly is a hippocrite when he attacks other networks for being biased. He is neither fair nor balanced....
existentialism is the preferred way
The reason why I refuse to take existentialism as just another French fashion or historical curiosity is that I think it has something very important to offer us for the new century. I'm afraid we're losing the real virtues of living life passionately, sense of taking responsibility for who you are, the ability to make something of yourself and feeling good about life. Existentialism is often discussed as if it's a philosophy of despair. But I think the truth is just the opposite. Sartre once in...
Kindergaten was better than High School.
In kindergarten there was no peer pressure like there was in high school. And there was NAPS!!!!!! There was virtually no bad influence in Kindergarten an no one was there to make you feel like crap 'cause everyone was new to the game called school....
