Let's take the following as given, shall we? 1 - Being obese is unhealthy. 2 - The items on the menus of fast food restaurants are generally high in calories. 3 – Most obese people are overweight because they are greedy and lazy. 3 - Watching the obese scoff down their grub like pigs with their snouts in the trough is unpleasant and puts normal people off their meals. I have deliberately limited the parameter of this debate to fast food restaurants as I understand that obese people sti...

I would like to say in my first arguement that the death penilty, can be avioded, and should be. First arguement, my religion's role: God does not want man to punish one another, thus the death penelty is unjust, in that case. After the person in question dies, [s]he is at the mercy of God. (personal example) If my 6 year old brothe hits my 3 year old brother, if I yell, or pull him away, Xera and/or Lorca will not punish him, because he was already punished, by someone less powerful. s...

Definition: 1. opposite day- a whole day in which everything said takes opposite connontation 2. make a day- declare oa day to be something in such fashion that it can legally be referred to as such 3. legally- simply means that the name stands without argument. Ex. If you say Dec. 25 is Christmas, then it is legally Christmas because there is no reason in itself on why Dec. 25 would not be Christmas (And no you can't just say its not Christmas to make it not Christmas. I mean there is no contra...

Simply put, it should be legal. I can find no compelling argument as to why it shouldn't be legal. So, I will ramble a bit. This must get to 100 words. I like words. Words are wordsy. Words, words, words. Sentences too. Also, two. Sentences are collections of words put together, often beginning with a capital letter and ending with a punctuation mark....

padfo0t Solarman1969
Hi , During a debate concerning the sport of swimming, Solarman1969 and I got into a verbal arguement that may still now be going on. Nevertheless, he will probably make a comment on this debate (if accepted) on how I am a 'scared mouse', or another common 'little boy-girl'. Either this, or a cheek remark of the opposite that oozes sarcasm. Solarman1969- yes you!- feels the need to maintain his reputation as a rood jerk who can never win a debate. He is probably not that bad a person in real l...

Ill start by defining the topic Military Conscription is known as the draft where the military forces teens and older to join the military. Contention 1 It has been realized by people 30 years ago that this is a bad idea. During the Vietnam war hundreds of people skipped out because they did not want to give their life for something they did not believe in. A few years later our president Jimmy Carter had the common sense to grant these people amnesty. This an example of how Military Co...

I am against the death penalty for many reasons, mainly because the logic "lets kill to show that killing is wrong" doesn't make much sense to me, it also somewhat encourages "you do wrong to me, i do the same back to you" but yeah this argument can have a lot of views based on religious beliefs, etc. so vote on who has better debating skills mainly....

i am against all types of abortion, however, I blieve late term abortion is worse than normal abortion. In late term abortion the fetus can be born, and will most likely live. Also anybody who is capable of going through the first two trimesters, without an abortion does not need one in the third trimester. By giving the late term abortion the pain will be the same whether the child is born or murdered. If the child is unwanted adoption is always open. Even if you don't believe abortion is mu...

Debate.com v3.0
Dear Debaters...As many of you may have noticed, version 3.0 was not launched in June. This has been primarily due to some server issues as well as extra suggested content that we felt was necessary to implement. Fear Not! Despite these setbacks version 3.0 will be launched by the end of July. Thank you for your patience, the new version is amazing! We cannot wait to launch!

We're Growing Fast
Welcome new members! That's pretty much everyone, since we're not yet 2-months old. When we launched the first version, we weren't sure if people would use it. Now we know better, and are in the process of building version 3. We can't share all of the new features; let's just say it's going to be awesome. But, it's going to take a few months to finish the project because it's so big. Keep your suggestions coming.
