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...
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 "...
the dalai lama should be allowed to be in tibet

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...
Barack Obama would NOT be the first black president.
"Barack Obama would be the great black hope in the next presidential race -- if he were actually black." ~Debra J. Dickerson~ Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. (born in Nyanza Province, Kenya)and Ann Dunham, a white American (born in Wichita, Kansas). Now, let me make it clear that I am not opposed to having an African-American president, but I will give credit when credit is due. Being of mixed ethnicity, white mother and black father, Barack Obama is...
Can you believe in evolution and the bible?
The bible states that god created man. Evolution theory states we evolved from apes. I don't see how a person can seriously believe in the bible and also respect the science of evolution. In my opinion you either believe the bible 100% or you believe science 100%. Some folks who cheery pick things to believe from the bible do not have 100% faith in the book and therefore are admitting flaws in there religious bible and showing cracks in their faith. I also don't see how one can believe in evolut...
Mike Huckabee is not a true conservative. He is the worst choice for the Republican nomination.
There are two big reasons Mike Huckabee has so much support right now. 1)He is very personable. 2)He is running as an evangelical. I understand that personality plays a big part in modern politics but it shouldn't. How funny or likable someone is should not overshadow their platform or their record. Governor Huckabee's record is anything but conservative. Pardoning criminals, expanding government, and raising taxes 92 times are not conservative ideals. This brings me to my second point. You...
