Obama will not be our next President
Obama will not be our next President. I have three arguments for this stance on this debate. 1.RACE-Unfortunately America is not ready for a African American President. Racism is not far enough in our past yet. I am a Union member. Out of the twenty seven people I work with there are three Republicans, including myself. The "dems" I work with were split, twenty for Clinton, four for Obama. When Clinton lost the nomination twenty of the "Dems" said they would NOT vote for Obama. Race was the m...
When Nothing hears a tree fall it makes no Sound - When Nothing sees an Orange it is not Orange!
Obviously debated in the Past, i ask you please do not to vote unless you have read the debate thoroughly. I hold that a sound only exists in so far as it is heard and that colors only exist in so far as they are seen. Sound defined: The sensation produced by stimulation of the organs of hearing by vibrations transmitted through the air or other medium. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sound A refute any claims about the identity of sound to the vibration itself. (i'm not defin...
The most important question about God is not whether he exists but whether he cares
I have found so often when the existence of God is challenged the most frequent objection to his existence is that there is suffering in the world, or a close relative died suddenly and therefore God cannot exist because if He did he wouldn't allow this suffering to continue. What does is matter to an atheist if God exists but has no interaction here on earth? Or if God exists and has no capability to intervene on mankinds behalf? It is the same as whether or not Pluto exists. It may matter t...
SHOULD THE BE A MINIMUM WAGE
This is my first on-line debate and I am glad to see that I have a worthy opponent. I want to discuss the the important topic of minimum wage in THE UNITED STATES ONLY . It is risky to oppose to something most people agree on but I believe it to be fun and challenging. In my opening Argument I have decided to to just refer to my basic argument without much detail and save the real debating for round 2 and 3. first of all minimum wage cost many jobs to the economy and workers of it especially...
A Proposal of Protocols (for those who care)
This debate is a means to an end. It is also probably in vain. I would like to include as many debaters as possible, so please, leave feedback. If you don't really care, or don't care at all, then do just that, please - don't participate in the debate in any way, shape, or form. Don't leave comments, don't vote, and above all - DO NOT TAKE THE TOPIC. This is really not so much a debate as an announcement of ideas for the benefit of the debating community. Thus, I request a co-debater of some ser...
Miley Cyrus
I am extremely sorry for not responding to your earlier posts on the other debate. I was unable to acess the computer most of this whole past week. I promise I will be better about this debate though! :) Pretty much, my earlier opening argument stands true: This is a debate on simply Miley Cyrus. Not on her show, just her as a person. I am totally against Miley. She is a horrible role model for the millions of young girls that look up to her. This is a short first argument I know, but I do ne...

This is a debate on simply Miley Cyrus. Not on her show, just her as a person. I am totally against Miley. She is a horrible role model for the millions of young girls that look up to her. This is a short first argument I know, but I do need something to rebut. Thanks so much! :)...
Story Challenge: Moat Maiden
I would like to introduce an exercise (story challenge) in which PRO and CON incrementally develop what, in the end, becomes an interactive short story. This is probably best explained through an example. After the example are a few parameters, to which compliance is implicit in accepting this "debate". Following that, I present the Round 1 opening to Moat Maiden. Note that the rounds can be brief. Think Groo meets MacGyver. -- Noel Leon /-------------------- Worked Example: PRO Rou...
Children should be lied to
The last time I did this debate I was a little unsatisfied with both the arguments and the results. Lying to children, whether in the form of perpetuating silly myths like the existence of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, or by withholding factual answers to their questions about subjects such as sex and death, is bad, primarily for the children themselves but also for society as a whole. Lying either directly or by omission is harmful because children eventually find...
Topic X (25 CHARACTERS)
I challenge anyone to give the the name of "one" let alone a 100 scientist who will put their reputations on the line and state categorically that "global warming" is caused by man. I fully expect samantics will be the only rebuttal to this question in order to avoid answering the substance of the question....
