The police officers weren't justified in thier crowd control tactics at the rainbow gathering july 3
In July of this summer, during the annual rainbow gathering, law enforcement officers aggressively entered kid village to arrest someone. When a lady asked the officers to take their guns out of kid village, they violently detained her as well. Looking to instigate a riot, they prematurely began firing rubber bullets, pepper spray balls, and using tazers on the gatherers. People had welts all over their body from the close range barrage of pepper spray balls. They randomly shot with no discr...
The Internet: The Last True Example of Free Speech (Net Neutrality)
NOTE: DO NOT TAKE THIS DEBATE IF YOU ARE GOING TO DEBATE THAT THE INTERNET IS OUR LAST VESTAGE OF FREE SPEECH. THAT IS NOT THE TOPIC OF THIS DEBATE. NET NEUTRALITY IS. I believe that Net Neutrality should be spared, and should be kept away from Virgin Media's grubby, greedy hands. For those who don't know, I'll summarize net neutrality in a simple way. Net neutrality is what lets you sit at your computer, hop on the internet, and visit every site on the internet at the same speed. Now, gra...
The revenge of hoopla
Why were there no debates in the challenge period before I posted this one? I demand to know! If i don't find out within an hour I shall convert to Pacific/Islander religous beliefs. Yeah. Youkilis.

The media isn't liberal
Media will be all forms of print (newspapers, magazines, etc), TV news, radio, and the internet. You all should know the definitions of liberal and conservative. Anyway along with the opening: I would argue that the media isn't liberal. In this I contend that their is a wide range of philosophies of reporters and news stations but the media IS NOT overhelmingly liberal. Conservatives have just said "the liberal media" so many times without any evidence that it has become a fact. A...

Fox News is not only Bias, but Deceitful
deceitful: having a tendency or disposition to deceive: a: not honest, b: deceptive, misleading (http://www.merriam-webster.com/) I hope that whoever accepts this debate will accept the fact that Fox News is bias to the right-wing. This debate is not about MSNBC, CNN, ABC, ect. Fox is the network on trial here, and I wish to refrain from bringing in other networks to this discussion. This debate is only seeking an answer to the question "Is Fox News a deceitful source for 'news'?" To...
There should not be any type of ban on Abortion
First of all, I'd like to welcome dxpilot to this debate. I would first like to state that, there are many reasons there should not be a ban on abortion. First of all, it is the mother's choice, and the mother's choice alone. Simple as that. Post-abortion guilt. These effects do not always take place. Suppose a woman got raped, and she was worried about the child she was to have. She could, very easily, feel relief in getting an abortion, knowing that there will not be any other long-term...

Women are being oppressed by society
BOOBS!!! BODY!!! SEXY!!! That is all that our younger generations are being taught today. When women gained suffrage in the early 1900s, they gained freedoms. But it seems that instead of being politically and governmentally oppressed, women are now being oppressed by society. Young girls and women of all ages are told that they MUST look a certain way or else there will be horrible ramifications. 1) Your man will leave you. (he wasn't worth it in the first place if that's the case.) 2) I...
