Universal health care nuts should also be in favor of universal food, shelter, clothing, etc.
If universal health care crowd were capable of being a little more consistent, they'd be communists. Despite the fact that nowhere in our founding documents is health care declared a "right," proponents who want to make it a right point to the fact that health care is a human necessity. But there is a huge problem with this argument. If the degree of necessity is the criteria for converting a private service into a public entitlement, why isn't universal food, clothing, water, shelter, transport...
Resolved: free family pigeons kept for racing.

The United States Federal Government should help to modernize third-world countries.
"Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant." -- Elie Wiesel Clarification: A common misconception regarding third-world countries is that "the poverty of the developing nations can be attributed to their failure to innovate, resulting in technological and therefore economic deficit" [1]. That is simply untrue. Western civilizations were able to expand and modernize through our coloni...
THIS HOUSE WOULD LEGALLY RECOGNIZE HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGES
okay. basically homosexuals are those we call as "gays, lesbians, etc" in the other hand, marriage is a sacred sacrament that needs to be respected. if we would allow this homosexuals to marry, we would actually deprive the culture of the society with which, they are used to men-women marriages. with the given explanations. i believe that it's best set in the Philippines since homosexual marriages here are not yet allowed...
Resolved: A corrupt girlfriend/boyfriend is better than no boyfriend/girlfriend
Good day to you all, ladies and gentleman. In today's case, I shall prove the resolution which states "Resolved: A corrupt girlfriend/boyfriend is better than no boyfriend/girlfriend" is false beyond the notion of a doubt. Before starting, I'd like to thank my opponent (whomever that may be) for taking up this debate and I'd ask that the voters vote based on who debated better rather than their own personal opinion. With all of that being said, let us proceed. =================== CONTEXT:...
Freedom of expression should not be supressed by accusations of sexism.
I would like to invite a fellow debater to demonstrate that I am wrong when I contend that freedom of expression should not be suppressed by accusations of sexism and that the controversial comments I may make in the course of my arguments should be kept to myself. I would welcome a challenge from a male or female but I suspect I am more likely to receive a rebuttal from a man, as there appears to be far more male members of debate.com than there are female members. Interestingly, this mirro...
Saudi women should have the same rights as men
In 2006, a Saudi woman was alone in a car with a man who was not related to her, and a gang of seven men found them and raped them. They were given 10 months in jail. She was given six months and 200 lashes. Now I understand that Saudi Arabia is predominately a muslim state, and their government can be theocratic, but if their beliefs get in the way of justice, then that's simply not right. All over Saudi Arabia, women are crying out for help from oppression and injustices. They should have...
Minimum Wage should be abolished.
1. The vast majority of economists believe the minimum wage law costs the economy thousands of jobs. 2. Teenagers, workers in training, college students, interns, and part-time workers all have their options and opportunities limited by the minimum wage. 3. A low-paying job remains an entry point for those with few marketable skills. 4. Abolishing the minimum wage will allow businesses to achieve greater efficiency and lower prices. 5. When you force American companies to pay a certain w...
