1-Round debates should not be allowed.

I am advocating that the minimum number of rounds allowed to a debate be 2. One-round "debates" defeat the actual purpose of a debate, because all that is done is the establishment of both sides. Nobody has a real chance to refute each other (except the contender, but then his arguments cannot be refuted). One-round "debates" are not really debates, they are just rounds. As you can see, this "debate" is one round. So you may see the evils of a one-round "debate" (See above if you didn't catch...

Resolution TBA.

Gonna take an idea from some other people and do this, because I'm bored and don't know what to debate about. As you can see, this debate is 5 rounds. In the contender's round 1, he/she will propose 3 different topics of debate that COVER VARIOUS FIELDS. (I don't want 3 debates about abortion but worded differently, for example. Then in my round 2, I will choose one of the debates to well...debate on. In the contender's round 2, he/she will choose a stance on the choice (PRO or CON) and...

The right to bear arms.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." This is the exact wording of the Second Amendment. Obviously there are disputes among what the meaning of it is, otherwise this debate wouldn't be here. My stance is that the definition of the Second Amendment is this: "The people in a militia [the National Guard, for example] have the right to own and/or carry weapons." It should not apply...

The United States federal government should provide universal health care to its citizens.

First, parameters. Universal Health care: any system of health care that the federal government pays for for all citizens Other than that, I think we're fine. If you feel other parameters are necessary, let me know. My case: The question that is important in this situation is: "What is the purpose of a government?" The answer to this question is that a government is supposed to protect the rights of the people. The people form governments to escape the so-called state of nature, in whic...

Posting all of one's arguments in their opening round provides for a more fair debate.

Argument: A contention or point made as evidence for PRO or CON. Opening Round: The round where a debater's first argument is made. Fair: free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice; without irregularity or unevenness (from dictionary.com) Point 1: When a contender accepts a debate, it is instinct to assume that the arguments provided by instigator in his opening round are all the evidence that is being used to either be in support or disapproval of the resolution. If this is true, both de...

Nancy Pelosi is a traitor (and treasonous).

"Asked if she saw any evidence of the surge's positive impact on her May 17 trip to Iraq she responded: Well, the purpose of the surge was to provide a secure space, a time for the political change to occur to accomplish the reconciliation. That didn't happen. Whatever the military success, and progress that may have been made, the surge didn't accomplish its goal. And some of the success of the surge is that the goodwill of the Iranians-they decided in Basra when the fighting would end, they...
