Homosexual marriage
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, today I will share with you and my opponent the reasons why I believe homosexual marriage (and all homosexual rights alike) should be allowed. My opponent brian_eggleston , is a good debater whom I respect. Now Ladies and Gentlemen, I will begin debating. 1. Homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexual (straight) Men and women. As the 9th amendment states "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or dispara...
It's time to crackdown on canoodling cretins that conspicuously cavort in crowded carriages.
We've all been there, haven't we? Standing in a jam-packed underground train with hardly enough room to breath, never mind move, when the aesthetically-challenged couple next to you decide to demonstrate that they aren't too hideously ugly to get a sexual partner by going at each other hammer and tongs - right in your face. Yes, there they are, these two freaks of nature, his hand up her blouse, her hand down his trousers, slobbering all over each other like a bitch on heat being taken by a...
Chinese colonisation of sub-Saharan Africa would be beneficial to all concerned
China has the military capability to simultaneously land massive numbers of ground forces on the Atlantic coast of Democratic Republic of Congo and the Red Sea coast of Sudan and move through both countries, occupying Kinshasa and Khartoum, meeting at the border and branching out into Rwanda, Central African Republic and Chad en route. This would secure China huge reserves of desperately needed natural resources. Furthermore, Chinese investment in the public infrastructure of the region would...
School Uniforms
Ok, people tell me that public schools should have schoolwide uniforms, and I was wondering why. I would like to see if someone can convince me that they would actually help a school teach people, as that is their job....
It's time for the Government to crackdown hard on greedy fat scroungers
You see them all the time, don't you? Big, fat, sweating piles of flab sitting in fast food restaurants, gorging themselves on super-sized burgers while everybody else is out earning the money to pay for them. "No, I'm to fat to work" they say, "I'm morbidly obese and I get out of breath just walking to my Government-subsidised car". So, instead of going out and earning an honest wage like everybody else, they slob about in junk food outlets. And when they haven't got their snouts in the...
The State of Massachusetts should be ceded in order to create a homeland for Roma people
For centuries, Roma people (otherwise known as Gypsies) have travelled far and wide and have faced prejudice and persecution wherever they have gone. In many ways, their experience mirrors that of the Jewish people. However, whereas the Jews were granted their own homeland when the State of Israel was created after World War II, even though the Nazi's exterminated over 600,000 Roma people in the Holocaust, the Roma still have nowhere to call "home". http://www.romani.org/ The Jewish people...
It's time we set the moon alight.
Most people have seen footage of the lunar landings, but how many people have wondered why the astronauts didn't celebrate their safe arrival by lighting up a well-deserved cigarette? Well, here's the reason: the moon's surface is highly flammable. A carelessly discarded cigarette could easily set the lunar soil alight. That's because it's composed of large amounts of oxygen (42%), aluminium (7%) and magnesium (6%), which as every chemistry student knows, makes a highly volatile combination o...
Shops that broadcast Christmas adverts in October must be boycotted.
It's not even Halloween yet and already there are Christmas adverts on the telly. They get earlier and earlier every year. By time Christmas finally arrives, everybody is thoroughly sick and tired of the sight of tinsel and the sound of sleigh bells. The kids are already looking forward to it and traditional celebrations such as Halloween on 31st October and Guy Fawkes' Night on 5th November are getting increasingly overlooked in the premature Yuletide excitement. Harrods is a prime example o...
It's time for the Government to crackdown hard on Elton John.
The man has gone too far and it's time he was stopped. Whether you hate and despise him, or merely loathe him with a passion, you have to admit that this over-rated celebrity singer-songwriter is at least one sandwich short of a picnic. Let's look at the facts: He's a married man. Nothing wrong with that, you might say, until you discover he's married…TO ANOTHER MAN! http://www.flickr.com/photos/tobyvs/76700691/ It doesn't matter that he's gay, obviously, and I know that same-sex ma...
Same-sex Marriage Should Be Legalized Throughout the United States of America
Though not drawn much attention to at this point in time, gay rights in general are constantly under debate. Though most people believe off the top of their heads that homosexuals should have the same rights as heterosexuals, as soon as the topic of marriage comes up, most jump to say 'no'. I've been pondering the matter myself for a while, and I hope I'll have a good opponent in that case. You may start....
