Resolved: In the United States, Minor Jail Time Ought to be Replaced with Significant Rehabilitation
Good afternoon ladies and gentleman. In today's case, I shall prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Minor US Jail time ought to be replaced with significant rehabilitation. Although I'm well aware that this is an LD resolution, I simply don't care for the practices involved in value debate as much as I used to. Thus, I hope you managed to bare with me in my attempts to keep this as a general debate. So without further ado, let us proceed: I'm going to run this case in stylized form of Probl...
Having bad table manners makes you a less liked person.
Round 3: (23) Having bad table manners makes you a less liked person. PRO: girr29 (vs) CON: Zakkuchan Alright, I look forward to a good round and I look for a good discusion about why having bad table manners makes you a less liked person. I will first start off by defining a few key terms from the Funk dictionary. Table Manners: conventional behavior expected of people while dining. Less: to a smaller extent, amount, or degree. Liked: to regard with favor; respect of charac...
Education is a human right.
(Please note: I believe the general deadline for the PRO to challenge for Round 2 passed a few hours ago. However, my Round 1 debate took longer than most, and the decision was just posted yesterday. I was given an extension on the deadline, so this challenge is not actually late. I'm sorry for any inconvenience.) This debate is for Round 2 of Tournament 1 of the Facebook group "Online Debate Tournaments". The resolution is, "Education is a human right." I am advocating the PRO stance. A "...
Hillary Clinton is incomparable to Barack Obama. Barack Obama is a much better candidate.
I am not a Democrat or a Republican. In fact, I am a Libertarian but would like to express that Barack Obama is a better candidate for the president of the United States than Hillary Clinton. There are many reasons to vote for Hillary Clinton that Barack surpasses her on and are many aspects that Mrs. Clinton is incomparable to him on. - It is rumored that Hillary Clinton has more political experience than Barack Obama. However, this is untrue. She claims 35 years of experience, however, she...
The United States should develop a missile defense system.
This debate is for Round 1 of Tournament 1 of the Facebook group "Online Debate Tournaments." It is over topic #7, "The United States should develop a missile defense system." I am advocating the PRO stance. Clarification: Missile defense systems are any systems designed to protect a nation against incoming Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), which typically are designed to carry nuclear warheads across large distances through sub-orbital spaceflight. The idea of defending against...

War in Iraq
Many People are against the War in Iraq. I hope to change their mind on it. Many people think that its all for nothing. I believe they are wrong it isn't. We as the great and powerful country that we are should help other country's so that they can start to grow. When I think of this topic I think of a child on a playground getting bullied and all the other children standing there watching him not offering any assistance whatsoever....
Flag Burning Should be Allowed
In the United States of America (who i don't agree with now, but agree with the foundations) every person is granted the right to protest and freedom of expression. though many may consider flag burning unpatriotic many people don't believe what their country is doing. i don't believe in what the US is doing in a multitude of area's and no, i myself do not burn flags, but all people should have the right to express the way that they feel. How would you feel if you were no longer allowed to be in...
Police profiling
How can you be for police profiling? What if they were to start profiling white teenage males? You could end up with a life sentence for a crime that you didn't commit simply because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Think about all of the racial prejudices there are - we are living in the "enlightened" 21st century! Aren't we supposed to be able to figure out who committed crimes without regressing to the Dark Ages of "let's hang him because it's convient"? This society, which is i...
McCain is not a conservative
John McCain is not a conservative and should barely be considered a republican. I'm so sick of him crying out for my support just because he has an R after his name. McCain is continually and extremely liberal on all of the major issues that conservatives care about with the exception of life. On amnesty, McCain-Kennedy took one of the most liberal positions possible on the issue, allowing over 20 million illegal immigrants safe passage to easy citizenship. On tax cuts, McCain is the only...
