Men should be allowed into lesbian bars.
I have a number of lesbian friends and I would like to have more, so some of my mates and I went to the Candy Bar in Soho, which is a lesbian bar. http://www.thecandybar.co.uk/ However, we were refused entry on the grounds that we were men, even though I explained that our intentions were entirely honourable and we would be in now way offended by the sight of women engaging in sexual activity with one another. I believe that the refusal of the bar's management to grant admittance to men...
R: It is morally permissible to kill one innocent person to saves the lives of more innocent people.
As most people know, I have done this topic previously, but I was Aff., now I will be Neg. I would appreciate it if the person was familiar with LD style, however if you are tempted to debate this and you are not an LD debater, that's fine, but prepare to suffer technical consequences as the round advances. That is a warning. Anyway, good luck however accepts. Since this is LD, the Affirmative usually starts, so I will let him/her go first, I will simply state definitions. Thank you la...
Politicians often claim a Christian background, but American politics are rather unchristian.
I've heard many political conservatives invoke God's blessing on our nation and on our troops. Unfortunately, there's nothing Godly or Christian about the pro-war position conservatives often gravitate to. Many political liberals are also guilty of this same inconsistency, but I feel conservatives are more war-prone than liberals. Jesus instructed us to love our enemies and do good to them. Instead, we ask for God's blessing as we bomb and destroy our enemies -- actions that I believe no TRUE...
The jokers statement in the "Dark Knight" that "We are destined to do this forever" is true.
The Joker: You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever. I am an extreme fan of the Batman comic book. And i believe this statement to be true. 4 reasons will support me: 1.Batman is, as the joker states, truly in...
Justice delayed is justice denied
Obviously in a democracy, it takes a lot of time for a statement to be passeded, in such a situation, the case goes out of the mainstream and people forget the culprit and the depth of situation. so how can how think of justice in such a case?...
Military conscription is unjust.
I. INTRODUCTION I affirm the resolution 'Military conscription is unjust.' My definition of military conscription for this debate reads: a general term for involuntary labor demanded by some established authority. It is most often used in the specific sense of government policies that require citizens (often just males) to serve in the armed forces. It is known by various names — for example, the most recent conscription program in the United States was known colloquially as 'the draft' (Wiki...
Obese customers should pay more for flights.
With the rising price of gas and the growing costs of airfare, some airlines are starting to opt in programs that charge fees for passengers who are visibly over a certain weight. The reason for this is simple: 1) Obese customers cost more to insure. Those who are obese are more prone to high-altitudes medical situations, thus airline insurance for such scenarios go up. Since they currently don't charge insurance based on individual fliers, it seems unfair to charge everyone for the lifest...
Can you defend your definition of justice?
For any who have debated before, you will know that Justice is perhaps the most controversial issue faced by debaters in a round, and more often than not becomes the deciding factor in the resolution. So I am going to open up the floor to anyone who wishes to try me - I invite you to pick a definition of justice - any definition - and defend it to the best of your ability. This is not a resolution per se so much as a contest of argumentative skill. My opponent will take the floor and the first a...
Resolved: The Death Penalty is a just punishment for convicted murderers/killers.
I affirm: The Death Penalty is a just punishment for convicted murderers/killers. [Definitions] Death Penalty: execution; putting a condemned person to death. Just: in accordance with justice, i.e. giving each their due. Punishment: 1. the practice of imposing something unpleasant or aversive in response to an unwanted or disobedient behavior. 2. The act of punishing; penalty for wrongdoing, especially for crime. Convicted: declared guilty of a crime in a court of law....
"Mercy killing should be legalized."
euthanasia or mercy killing refers to the practise of painlessly ending a life. i am strongly against the legalization of mercy killing due to numerous reasons:first,it is very traumatizing for a family memeber to decide whether a person should live or not, i mean imagine a daughter whose father is in a critical condition and his chances of survival are bleak.Now the doctor comes over and tells the girl that there are two options;either they continue the treatment in which case the man will have...
