water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.

parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."

gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA

I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"

christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."

If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."

gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.

gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.

gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.

water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."

They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"

creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water.

These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."

Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."

gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.

Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex.

Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world.

I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and

physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.

Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love.

I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would.

evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside

In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."

christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies?

They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"

Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.

parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough.

gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information.

water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better.

If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."

Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."

gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.

This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit.

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in.

There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.

Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve.

gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"

India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."

porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him.

creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good.

school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?""

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!

gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them.

The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"

school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"

Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.

books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others.

books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.

parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills

water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.

parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."

water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."

parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me. Any person that commits a murder should not get away with it because if they did it once they can do it again so it dangerous to have them out in the enviroment. Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim."
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.

Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."

Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!

tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."

water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."

porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?

creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms

christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."

porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."

water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because TV can make you blind. your eyes can also hurt alot if you watch to much.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder

christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."

evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school

water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."

I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!

gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."

People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."

porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."

I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings.

gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"

I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"

gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.

atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better.

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"

But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.

porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.

parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world.

I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do.

atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL.

christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and

physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.

parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost.

books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong.

water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault

books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."

atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?

porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.

evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.

But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."

water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."

India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice.

The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"

porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.

books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."

It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.

Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."

water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential

To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens

parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.

evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.

water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards!

gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."

tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.

gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me. Any person that commits a murder should not get away with it because if they did it once they can do it again so it dangerous to have them out in the enviroment. Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all

atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.

creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."

school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."

evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."

school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%.

Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.

I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."

gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.

India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment.

Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers.

India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not.

Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.

school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"There are plenty of students who don't like Physical Education, so, it should be an elective subject."
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!

India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"

Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential

Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."

""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"

physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.

evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"

And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment.

And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world.

I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."

gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?

evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in!

India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."

tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."

gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.

porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not.

Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?

When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up.

It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."

christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."

water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?

school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do.

I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously.

If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"

India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."

Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.

parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."

books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."

Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love.

parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody.

school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him.

creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."

Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."

gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."

India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce.

porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards!

I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.

If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well?

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.

gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?

water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"

school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people?

Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."

christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy.

Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."

evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because TV can make you blind. your eyes can also hurt alot if you watch to much.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."

It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.

water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."

porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.

India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!

Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND

Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."

India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.

If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."

porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"

parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."

That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run.

parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."

And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand?

I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself.

India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this.

If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her?

The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."

school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too.

It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing.

I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."

The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."

She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"

gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.

India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?

tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"

gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.

porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."

It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise.

school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do.

parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."

books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't

atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"

So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school

Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again.

books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you.

water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it.

school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."

water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.

parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far.

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."

gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."

gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."

This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."

But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"

gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.

parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?

porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."

To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"

tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."

tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true

The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"

creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"There are plenty of students who don't like Physical Education, so, it should be an elective subject."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."

porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.

To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."

books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."

India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."

school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."

Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this

creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
school uniform is a bad idea,It is in not comfortable when you sit for an hours in a classroom.
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
India has the potential to lead the world,"yes,India has potential to lead the world.So, many countries depends on scientists.most of employees in every country is Indians."
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because TV can make you blind. your eyes can also hurt alot if you watch to much.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them.

There is other techniques they can learn from."

One of those lives actually knew what life was."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power.

Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."

school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."

christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing.

In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons.

books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning.

gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!

porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."

An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"

If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."

christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits.

porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."

On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else.

porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.

water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."

India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."

parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy

gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?

atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.

I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."

parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational

school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't

atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."

books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well?

parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."

She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others.

porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."

Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."

evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok

Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."

To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"

tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender.

atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"

water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk

parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.

It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."

All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."

tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."

school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."

atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside

In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.

parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist.

school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."

porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."

Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
school uniform is a bad idea,It is in not comfortable when you sit for an hours in a classroom.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid

gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.

books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools

porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...

pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."

books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you.

school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."

tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read

I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid

Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."

water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."

atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."

gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"

porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."

creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing.

Besides, you can't miss what you never had."

India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"

christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."

creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."

Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different.""

gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly

gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."

water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now.

Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't

school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure

And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.

books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."

school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!

atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."

Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do.

I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"

""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?

water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
India has the potential to lead the world,"yes,India has potential to lead the world.So, many countries depends on scientists.most of employees in every country is Indians."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"

parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."

water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me.

And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.

parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
school uniform is a bad idea,It is in not comfortable when you sit for an hours in a classroom.
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable.

water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes.

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."

Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com

parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father.

My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.

evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."

gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."

books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"

India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."

gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."

gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"

creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."

school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."

christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think

water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations.

What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
school uniform is a bad idea,students should wear what they like and feel free about their clothes
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
school uniform is a bad idea,students should wear what they like and feel free about their clothes
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."

The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.

gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise.

school uniform is a bad idea,students should wear what they like and feel free about their clothes
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."

But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."

school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes

But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.

tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."

You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.

What's your point?"
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"

evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.

porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."

porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."

That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure

christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."

evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."

water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body

India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?

gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.

gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L

porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again

school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school

school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.

porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you.

creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because TV can make you blind. your eyes can also hurt alot if you watch to much.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.

tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.

books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things.

Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?

I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."

atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."

I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."

water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce.

This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
school uniform is a bad idea,students should wear what they like and feel free about their clothes
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch

porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion.

This will not help you win the debate by the way."

water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."

water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."

evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"

water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."

tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d

christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."

tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."

tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."

And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."

There is other techniques they can learn from."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."

Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."

I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control.

There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.

parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself.

In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."

If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."

gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."

gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"

christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.

books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........

school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"

gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."

The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"

physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html

Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"

There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)

gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."

school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."

In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."

gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."

books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness

water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world.

I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."

In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."

atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."

gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender.

If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.

He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."

The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
water bottles should not be banned,"""Bottled water is not our biggest problem when it comes to drinking habits. All other beverages consume huge amounts of water and energy during their production processes, which makes their ecological impact far more detrimental than that of bottled water."" http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address;=103x347180"
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.

gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water.

water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!

Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"

water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
school uniform is a bad idea,students should wear what they like and feel free about their clothes
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion.

porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
christianity is better than christianity,"You rather die believing in god,than not believing and finding out he exists!"
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.

parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."

tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.

parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"

water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.

gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
school uniform is a good idea,"it is good idea... children should be equal, and do not compare clothes of each other... if they see something new from their classmates, they want to buy it, even it is not necessary..."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because then they wont do what they did in fear of getting spanked again. Since they will know the consequence. Although, there is also a line a parent shouldn't cross such as the appropriate spanking and abuse line."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.

parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not.

Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."

school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."

water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better.

If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history

Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)

I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life.

It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."

school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils.

Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................

It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.

They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"

creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."

porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational

books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"

water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."

However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."

India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."

porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."

creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.

parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."

gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."

I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."

gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."

I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago.

tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read

And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.

Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.

creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see.

But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear.

So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."

porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
porn is wrong,"well, the people who watch porn,   i guess thats ok, its NORMAL.   but the people who are   IN the porn, that is not normal..   i read it in a abnormal psychology book,   that means they have a disorder"

porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
evolution is better than creationism,"There's no concrete evidence that supports that god exists.   Religion and the bible have too many contradictions and changes that I become less and less convinced in his existence...   Evolution makes more sense to me.   Animals adapt to their environment, and over huge amounts of time will evolve   to be able to survive through different climates and situations."
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..

I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
parents should spank their children,I believe some parents should spank their kids but only when nessasary because sometimes thats the only way some kids will learn the correct way and listen.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.

water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
India has the potential to lead the world,"yes,India has potential to lead the world.So, many countries depends on scientists.most of employees in every country is Indians."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."

atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."

books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."

I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"

school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."

gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."

gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."

I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."

books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"

school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning

gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!

water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"

gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life. Keeping the law pro-choice is allowing women to murder their own unborn human child.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.

water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?

parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."

christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!

school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.

water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."

Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniform cant save person out of cold or heat like special clothes.
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
books are better than tv,All TV shows are written down as scripts (a form of book) first...
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"

gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband murder someone I will turn him in , because is a crime and for every act, I have learn that there is a consequence for everything. And he will have to pay for the consequences of committing a crime."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?

gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was.

atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me.

Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in.

school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."

school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others.

parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect.

They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it?

I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."

Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."

school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."

Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes.

Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear.

There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father.

water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere.

But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."

Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy.

books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us .

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
parents should spank their children,"Sometimes that's what a kid needs to behave all those Nos, stops, don't do that, just don't work sometimes."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
India has the potential to lead the world,Do we have the potential?   Yes.   The only competition we have is China who has done a much better job for the long run.   But then again the way India runs.. it always makes order out of chaos.

water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
water bottles should be banned,The major water produceing companies are stealing water from our lakes in that case killing off habitats for criters that like water like platypus.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world. I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."

water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"

porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Well ""The Champ"" It is not the Woman's body we are talking about, it is a new life. And if you are going to be irresponsible dont let a new life die for it!"
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."

parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Is personhood absolute or is it predicated upon position?   If a premature baby is lying in an incubator or, let's say for the sake of argument, a 5 gallon pail, it is illegal to kill it. Why does the situation change so drastically just because the child is inside the womb?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
water bottles should not be banned,"plastic water bottles all day every day guys, without those we could comfortabley walk around the block with a safe suply of water in our hands"
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
school uniform is a bad idea,"because your own clothes are coolio hoolio, and if you get to wear what you want its coolio hoolio"
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If I do that, then who's going to cook and clean house? Who's gonna have sex with me? I'm too old to do the dating scene all over again. Besides, you don't specify who she killed or why. Maybe she had her reasons. Not everyone deserves to live, you know? ;)"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
parents should not spank their children,Because if the child is young they dont know whats wrong and whats right the parent needs to teach the child from whats wrong and from whats right
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
christianity is better than christianity,i am christian so i have to back up my religon and i also get to go to church.
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."

gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?

gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?

porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."

water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,india is is good adopter but a bad developer and leader should be a great developer
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."

tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum).

gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."

books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course India has the POTENTIAL to lead the world, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They have the knowledge, the manpower, and the resources to lead the world."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.

India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html

I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.

tv is better than books,"Yes I would say it has you relax in case your tired, but you can read to relax as well. Plus have you ever considered about the commercials and how annoying they are?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"

And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?

Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."

school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks.

Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator?

There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.

A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being.

The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be.

school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."

creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side

gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong.

I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."

People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."

gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."

Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water.

atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.

India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?

gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."

school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?

They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."

school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,some children simply cannot take pe. 4 example some r already in athletics and they are alreaddy training like crazy

water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.

evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."

gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
school uniform is a bad idea,It is in not comfortable when you sit for an hours in a classroom.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now

atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."

porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it.

Guy AND Girl!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In my personal opinion if you better yourself in the long run you can better the world.

If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.

tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."

gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"While striving to make advancements for the common good you can change the world forever.   Allot of people have succeded in doing so. Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
tv is better than books,BOOKZ SUCK BECAUSE it iz harder To SPELL lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollol
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.

Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"the one whom bestows life, is the one whom bestows death"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
creationism is better than evolution,Why do you assume that god needs to operate within the constraints of time when accusing him of wasting his time? :)
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
books are better than tv,I thick that book are better than TV is it is better i can put you in a whole norther wold and it is educational
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"

porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in.

atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."

It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."

Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!

christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.

tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."

creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity of course. Can't imagine life if I didn't believe in God. Actually I can, it would be hell."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."

Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first.

For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."

water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
atheism is better than christianity,Neither. Agnostic is the true answer. People can believe there is a God or they can believe there isn't- but they can never know. I personally believe there isn't a God but I can never prove this definitely.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I would not because i would have taken a vow say to stick by them in sickness and health. They might be sick in the head but she would be my wife. If anything id be trying to find a way to keep her from getting caught.
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
school uniform is a bad idea,It is in not comfortable when you sit for an hours in a classroom.
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."

water bottles should be banned,Sheep count him to fall asleep.    he won the 1995 world series of poker using uno cards.
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at.

gay marriage is fine,Gays are human beings just like we are. They should have the right to marriage just like we are.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Right Now, In My opinion to be fatherless. Trust me I Went through it. Sometimes I wish I Had a Lousy Father but Yet Not having A Father is so much better. It's been Eighteen Years since I've seen my Father but if he doesn't care then why should I? If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father. I would rather have a Father who want to pay attention to me and actually be supportive of me."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body

books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"

parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."

water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again.

school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school

physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."

porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.

christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."

school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read

atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."

India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"

tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
books are better than tv,books is well better than tv because it is cheaper to buy a book   if you wanted to buy a tv it would be really dear and you have to buy a tv licence   books can help you learn   a lot of the stuff on tv is either violent or not right for kids   so books are well better
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.

India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work.

Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,Kids are fat these days.. p.e. helps!!1!!!!!one!!!!   and itll help them relize heath is important for there lame ass futures lol
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????

gay marriage is wrong,Marriage evolved because of moral and religious grounds rather than a mere union approved by the state... To debase marriage just to accomodate base desires of gay couples in disguise if a right is simply stupid...
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters.

tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
evolution is better than creationism,Were we magically created in a few days or an outcome which was processed throughout billions of years?   Which is more realistic?   Which was more likely to happen?
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"

To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"

atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
christianity is better than christianity,"I assume everyone on this side of this argument was raised in a Christian home, grow a pair and ask yourself, why do I worship a scruffy sandal wearing cultist."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!

I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world.

I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
India has the potential to lead the world,"yes,India has potential to lead the world.So, many countries depends on scientists.most of employees in every country is Indians."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong.

porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
gay marriage is wrong,To me gay marriage is wrong. I respect other opinions but to me it is an unnatural way and against my moral law.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well.

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.

books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"

The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't always need to get spanked for everything they do. Their parents need to teach them different ways."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.

Our founding fathers, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Martin Luther King jr, and many more. These people made huge advances for the common good and they are honored for it."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all.

On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."

tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better.

What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"

gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!

gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him.

If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."

gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
India has the potential to lead the world,To say India can not lead the world is to say that a newborn child can never walk!!! I agree that there r so many problems that the rising India is facing 2day bt we r getting better day by day!!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
books are better than tv,"I think books are better as TV can cause obesity as many people just sit infront of it, it has been proven to cause violence and it reduces learning. Also, books increase someones imagination and creativity as they have to imagine things in the book for themselves.   I am not completely against TV but I do believe that TV is very bad in large amounts and books are very good for people   http://www.echoworld.com/B05/B0510/B0510TVBad.htm"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"

pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.

porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?

water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce.

evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."

porn is not wrong,"If pornography and the people who produce it were well respected by society, then no argument could be made that porn was degrading anyone.   Likewise, if, as a society we were to berate movie actors (for example), then the act of being an actor would become degrading.   It isn't the act of producing the porn that needs to change, but rather the acceptance of it in society."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."

water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I personally feel that it is better to be fatherless, rather than having a lousy father. I personally know what it is like . My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."
India has the potential to lead the world,aah...u r saying like that only india has this things.....other countries donot have this.....does the america which seems as leading the world doesnt have bad qualities.....it eats less and waste more.....the amount of food they waste can be utillised for feeding whole indian population...it produces more pollution and blame us...what about it !!!!!!!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Even though your father might not be the best or always there for you he is still your father. Every father has a certain connection with there children and thats what shapes and molds a son or daughters character and personality. I believe our parents play a major role in determining who we are even if they are lousy they are still our kin.
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
porn is wrong,"If one is in a relationship then yes porn is wrong. No one has the right to tell others what to do, we can only hope to influence. Porn is disgusting. Seriously. It exploits men and women. It is not realistic and can split up relationships.   If a man and a woman or a woman and a woman or man and a man are in a relationship then they should not need any other forms of sexual gratification other than their spouse. Out of love. And respect."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I understand some people are crazy in love, but for me that would be to crazy. Taking another persons life is never the solution or acceptable. Who knows if her next move is not towards me, who knows? If she was crazy enough to do it once, she is crazy enough to do it again."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Not to be glib, but are you stating that we should look to the government to assist us with our belief system.   Ever read T. Hobbes...?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Having a Lousy father would be better than being fatherless. If you have a Lousy father you can look at his mistakes, and avoid them. Also being fatherless would be hard on you and your mom. You would have no example or any kind of person to look up to. If you need help, at least you have your father there to lend you a hand, even if he is lousy."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good would be better in the long run. I mean sure you can worry about yourself, but put it like this, ""Your not the most important person in the world"". If everyone just thought about just them and not about other people where would we be. Its better to put others first and think about yourself later then to put yourself first."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
atheism is better than christianity,"we have scientific evidence that the flood of noah could not have happened. THINK ABOUT THIS : IF THE FLOOD OF NOAH HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND THE REMAINS OF LONG DEAD ANIMALS AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT WE DO NOT FIND THIS AT ALL. DINOSAUR BONES ARE FOUND IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT LAYERS OF ROCK STRATA, AT DIFFERENT DEPTHS. IF THE FLOOD HAD HAPPENED, WE SHOULD EXPECT TO FIND DINOSAURS AND ALL OTHERE REMAINS IN THE SAME LAYER OF ROCK BUT WE DONT."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
porn is not wrong,"it is not wrong, and if your talking about the actors doing the scene its theyre choice..they like doing it and its not degrading to women they wanna do it. we have freedom of expression you know. and it also helps some of us to be open about sex"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"

parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definetly turned her in. No matter what, it is murder. Nobody should commit murder, and plus she might be crazy and kill me, or kill someone else. I would have to live scared in my own house, because of her killing. because if I don't turn her in, someone eventually would find out about it, and I could be arrested too because of not telling. But it would be sad because she's your spouse, and you love her, so I rather preffer her never telling anyone, that makes my life easier."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.

atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"If a woman is raped and left with the bastard child of the man who raped her and severely emotionally traumatized her, she should have the decision to give up that baby. Certain circumstances call for desperate decisions and this is one, the choice should be her's to make and she should be allowed to make it."
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Murder under any circumstance is not right. A person who commits the act knows the consequences, and they know that they are guilty. I wouldn't be able to look at my spouse the same ever again. I would not be able to live with the secret of a murder.   So yea, i would turn them in."
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
water bottles should not be banned,Most Americans on average recycle 86-88% of there bottle waters. That is more than half! So stop complaining that we dont recycle because we do!   http://www.treehugger.com/culture/23-percent-of-americans-donatmt-recycle.html
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
school uniform is a good idea,"i think it's a good idea. so the student don't have to worry about what would they wear. they'll become more concentrate with their study so it's more efficient. if other says they can't express them self, oh please, there's so many things you can do to express yourself. and i think, uniform indirectly give thought how to dress correctly. if we let them dress theirself, they could wear Inappropriate clothes such as hot pants, rebel jeans or sexy clothes. that's not good for their mind."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."

parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?

school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.) I know that I have a lousy father, and there are times that he gets me mad, but then again there are times where he does the dumbest things, and makes me laugh. I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."

porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
evolution is better than creationism,"Just a note to the creationists. Please use the ""Convinced me"" link correctly.   You're supposed to click this if the person's argument convinced you that Creationism is true. Some of you seem to be clicking anything and everything on the right hand side.   This will not help you win the debate by the way."
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"

tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear.

evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."

porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."

India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i think with this growing condition Idia cannot replace other developed countries like USA LONDON AND other countries.   Because most of the people are illitrate here so i think india cant.
gay marriage is wrong,its just unnatural because all sexual creatures mate with the opposite sex.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I would have to pick having a lousy father than not having a father at all because, there will be a point where you may need his help. (It may not help but at least you tried.)

I know that I don't have the father I want, but I still love him no matter how lousy he is."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I feel like it's better to have a lousy father than to not have one at all. If someone is bad at something, it means that there's always a possibility that one day they may be good at it. To be fatherless, there's not even a chance of having a good father. So to have a lousy father would be better."
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.

school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Im all about the no snitching saying but when it comes to murder thats when the line is drawn. Yea at first I probably wouldn't do anything about it. Then I think about there is few reasons why someone would be drove to kill but I don't think the act should be committed. In saying that i would turn my wife in if she ever killed somebody.
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I strongly believe that helping yourself is not a selfish thing to do. If everyone took care of themselves and tried to make themselves better people then there would be no use of common good. You are the only person that knows what you feel, think and believe if you want change you would do change to yourself."
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."

school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it

school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
books are better than tv,books even reduce our electricity bills! which uses much of our spending money
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,This is a rather simple choice for me. I choose pro-choice because I have the option to choose pro life. If I choose pro-life I have no choice.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
India has the potential to lead the world,India will grow faster than any country of the world after 2012.
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a biological standpoint, men and women were ""engineered"" to be together. This idea was corrupted by the morals and society of our time."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."

There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
parents should not spank their children,I think parents should not spank because there's other way to make them behave.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
parents should spank their children,I think parents should use spanking as an option to discipline but there is also a limit for everything so they shouldn't use it every time the kids do something wrong.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think is better to have a lousy Father than to be Fatherless, maybe having one is not that bad, other than living with the idea you didn't had one or with the doubt of how could it be to have one."
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
tv is better than books,Television uses electricity and books such as harry potter are made of trees so it causes more damage to the environment.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
porn is not wrong,Some people say God is against porn. But we won't know that because the bible does not mench porn because it did not exist during biblical times. So how do we know it is a sin?
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
school uniform is a bad idea,"people cant be forced to wear school uniforms, i mean each person has theri own wish whether they want to or dont want to wear school uniforms. I think each principal should think once again regarding the uniforms"
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
porn is not wrong,Porn isn't inherently wrong because It really can't substantially harm anyone who isn't involved in it by choice.It really is just as simple as that.
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Hi all of u.................. dis is a new gal joining da prsns who r in favor of dis argue...... those who are in oppose of dis topic..... may i request u one thing dat plz think before u tell about India""s potential bcoz the wealth which the foreigners are enjoying nw are the looted one 4m India........ The other foreign countries are more developed den us bcoz it is da Indian people who are using their brain and making the foreign countries develop.........."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
books are better than tv,"I love books, I love getting lost in them. They also improve your literature (so my English teacher said :P)"
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In my opinion, i think that advancing the common good is better because when helping others, not only is it appreciated by that person or people, but it makes you feel better as well. It doesn't mean that I won't spend time on myself, but if I have the opportunity to help others, I'll do my best to accomplish that."
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn them in, because it would be to weird for me to turn them in to the police. I would probably wouldn't tell anybody. I would hope that the police catch them but I would not say anything. I would tell them to turn their self in."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
gay marriage is fine,"honestly who cares - if people want to be together so be it.   it isn't like marriage is some high holy thing - we sell it on tv, in drive throughs, etc. and that is fake love.   If people really want to be together then who are you to tell them no. If you don't like what they do, don't be their friend.   plus what will you do when you kids are gay?"
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"

parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a good country to live in...   it has diverse culture but still it unites as one.   Saare jagah se achcha...   Hindustan hamara...
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
creationism is better than evolution,"Believing ""Evolution"" as in Darwinism and the like, is like believing the puzzle can be solved by pouring the pieces out because two pieces kind of stuck together."
water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster. To help people in need and not pollute in the environment and harm habitats by dumping in the ocean or in landfills. Plastic doesn't decompose so in that case do not use on for emergencies.
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
porn is wrong,jarman:   porn is wrong because it sholud be in 4-D with surround sound and special effects :) it would make it much more pleasurable btw im a girl........
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."

tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"There are plenty of students who don't like Physical Education, so, it should be an elective subject."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"

evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
gay marriage is fine,I have lots of gay friends. I'm all for it!   People should stop being so against it. People can't help it. I've watched shows about it and I can really see how gay people feel.. when people are looking at them and some of them feel like they are being watched. It is just not right. We are all human.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
water bottles should not be banned,"When the most interesting man on the world is not drinking Dos equis, hes drinking bottled water."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
gay marriage is wrong,Why are you arguing about a U.S. decision when you are in Canada?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be ""fatherless"" then having a ""lousy father"", because a ""father"" is supposed to be the man of the house and set a good example so the rest of the family can look up to him. So if I look up at a lousy father I might then be a lousy person, but if I had no father then I'll set the standards for my own self and step up and be the man of the house especially if I had younger brothers or sisters."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"

water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!

porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense. Where atheists have nothing to back themselves up with, when Christians do. And the thing they have to back themselves up with is the Bible, what do the atheists have? Evolution? Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I rather be fatherless then having a lousy father because of this is that I wouldn't want to know how lousy he is and how bad he is of being a father. Being alone with just a mother is fine with me. It's just how I am. I wouldn't want to have a alcohlic father who drinks on the couch all day and curses my mother. It's just plain and simple, I have a good father or don't have a father at all even though he his still in the house, I wouldn't call him my father at all."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my husband had committed a murder I think I would not turn him in because my feelings would be stronger that the fear of having a bad husband, I am not sure of my exact answer but I am sure that I couldn't look at him everyday and act like nothing happened, I believe that feeling are stronger than anything and I would not like the fact that he would probably be sentenced to death or spend the rest of his life in prison."

Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time.

atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)

But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.

porn is not wrong,whatever ?   porn is a f**king way of life ?   i bet yous any money that all the people on the yes argument on how porn is wrong are virgins :L
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"

The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.

evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."

Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in.

I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in.

I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all.

On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."

tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups

school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable.

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would have to turn them in, because I don't think I could go on with life knowing that they've murdered someone. The relationship wouldn't be the same it would change because now you view the person as somebody else, you don't see them as your spouse any more, you just see them as a bad person, and they could be crazy enough to do something to you."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
christianity is better than christianity,Definitely Christianity :) and i am blessed to go to a christian school where i get to learn more about our amazing god :)
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
tv is better than books,"I'm not sayin this cuz I love the tube, but you get more imformation than you think in the tube.   EX) News, Baseball, Spongebob, etc."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways.

It is more scientific, and I like that."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity, because I always root for the underdog. The membership of the atheist here is way bigger. Just look at the congregations of both."
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I say this because if you have a lousy father than you have to deal with him and be ashamed of him. You would have to go day by day and know he is never going to be anything special, especially for you. But if you don't have a father you can always look up to someone else for that father figure."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"it is better to help yourself before you can help others. for instance, if you don't have your life together how are you going to help someone else with theirs. if your still living at home with your mother and you don't have a job and one want to help out by giving to an organization you couldn't do it. so basically you have to help yourself before you can help others."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,nope last time i checked rags were for scrubbing toilets not fricken headgear. Whooo! USA
water bottles should be banned,"The growth in bottled water production has increased water extraction in areas near bottling plants, leading to water shortages that affect nearby consumers and farmers. In addition to the millions of gallons of water used in the plastic-making process, two gallons of water are wasted in the purification process for every gallon that goes into the bottles."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
creationism is better than evolution,*   If evolution is true....   How come people aren't still evolving?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."

gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
porn is not wrong,"Porn is entertainment. Is it wrong and evil to have swear words in songs, because some people don't like it? Of course not. Should sex scenes in movies or TV shows be illegal? Nope. If you do not like porn, don't watch it. If you like it, it is your right to watch it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
school uniform is a good idea,I believe that the wearing of the school uniform should be encouraged because it reminds each child that they are equal (at least in school). It also shows unity and children feel included and it helps them to work as a team.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
water bottles should be banned,"Over 1.5 million barrels of oil were used to make the plastic bottles consumed in the US last year-and that doesn't include the petroleum used to transport them. That's enough petroleum to power 100,000 automobiles for a year."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"In order to help advance a common good, you must first realize what is your common good. You have to know when you are that better person to then spread your good to other people. You can't just assume that you are a great person if you don't have anything to show it. If you desire to see a world full of all this goodness, YOU have to be that spark that starts the fire."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'm Christian and very religious, but if the description of this argument is the qualifying factor, I'm going with Atheism. God isn't Christian."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because one must themselves happy before they can go out into the world and try to make everyone else happy. If you try to make everyone else happy and you leave no time for you, then you become a wreak and then you have no happiness in your life. Some people find that helping others is their own pursuit of happiness."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont believe i would turn them in because of love.But i certainly would not stay with her; i would move away from her as far as i could.For the simple reason i wouldnt want to be involed with the crime, because i knew about it."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
christianity is better than christianity,Christianity does offer hope in the world. Christianity does tell others to help the poor.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
porn is wrong,depending on your beleifs   because im christian i beleave it is   but to someone eles whos not christian it may be completly ok
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
gay marriage is wrong,Basing the bible it's definitely wrong and realistically marriage is intended for man and a woman it's one way of saying to reproduce.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I would want a good role model to look up to and to talk to. Not someone who is never there.
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
christianity is better than christianity,God helps those who help themselves! So i will go and healp myself to school laptops then god will help me?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
tv is better than books,"you can get the ""Foxtel Go"" app on your Ipad so you can watch TV where ever and whenever you want."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me. Any person that commits a murder should not get away with it because if they did it once they can do it again so it dangerous to have them out in the enviroment. Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
tv is better than books,TV is better because you can just explore the world while sitting on a couch
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Yeah, try to enforce that! It is actually not illegal to commit suicide everywhere (ever been to Oregon?).   Being pro-choice and keeping abortion legal leaves the decision with the woman and her God instead of with the government. The government has enough power without forcing the views of one religion on others."
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think that spanking should be necessary,spanking would last just a minute, but punishing could last up to 2 or 3 weeks or maybe more."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
atheism is better than christianity,"This debate presents a false dichotomy in which the only options are christian or atheism. Shouldn't it be ""theism or atheism or other""?"
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
parents should not spank their children,The child is young and doesn't know what is wrong and what is right.
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
parents should spank their children,"In my opinion, I strongly agree that parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children because the spankings are painful enough for children to learn to avoid doing the wrong things."
parents should not spank their children,Because spanking is mostly out of anger and can be for more then what your kid had done like if some one else made thm mad thy let it all out on thm
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
parents should spank their children,I support this because... I got spanked and I turned out to be a good daughter ..spanking teaches you not to do it again and be scared of doing it again.
porn is wrong,"It is wrong. Porn is wrong because you are being lustful: it's even more wrong when you're married because you're looking at another person in a preverted way that's not your wife or husband, which believe it or not, counts as cheating on them. But all of us have been lustful before, right? I'm not judging you, but it is wrong and you should stop."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
tv is better than books,can people say some points on TV is better than books because at our school were doing a debate can you please help!!!
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
creationism is better than evolution,Evolution is as likely as a tornado going through a junkyard and putting together a 747 Airplane.
water bottles should be banned,He doesn't give high fives; only high sixes    He is the Godfather's Godfather    He once taught a german shepherd to bark in spanish..
water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution. Also some people sell water battles that have bacteria in it depending on were they get the water. Water bottles also cost more than tap water. Water systems are aging and remains hundreds of chemical contaminants in the water.
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
tv is better than books,I think TV is better if you are watching an informational channel and it is better than books because you can switch to different informational channels an search documentaries on different subjects and when you are done learning and ready to relax you can switch to a funny show or what ever you want to watch.
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
school uniform is a good idea,"With uniforms there will be less of oh you dont wear this and you wear that. Then everyone is wearing the same thing and 1. it looks nicer 2. You dont have to spend forever trying to figure out what you are going to wear and 3. less drama, everyones wearing the same thing."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
India has the potential to lead the world,"yes,India has potential to lead the world.So, many countries depends on scientists.most of employees in every country is Indians."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
porn is not wrong,"hmm, yess there either all virgins or still live at home with there mothers and cant have porn LOL"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No, I wouldn't turn my spouse in I would just be like. You told me I had know part in it. And we are just going to go our separate ways. But truthfully I wouldn't want to know in the first place."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
gay marriage is fine,"If straights are allowed to get married and do whatever they want, why cant gays?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
christianity is better than christianity,"I was raised in a Freewill Baptist Church and was lucky to encounter a church full of people who were actually kind and practiced what they preached. Now, I consider myself a non-denominational who still wholly believes in the beliefs and teachings of the Christians, only now I see it like this: I believe in God, not religion."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking children will bad for their development. We always teach children not to hurt others, but we do it on our children . It is not make sense."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."
creationism is better than evolution,Then according to your theory the fruit flies would have adapted and survived   So I'm not really sure how that argument works...
christianity is better than christianity,I found more peace in my belief and will continue to seek the Lord until the day I die.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I think in any case its better to have no father then to have a lousy father either way you still lose. When you have a father you want him to be the best he can be so you can learn from him as you grow up. If you were to have a lousy father then whats the point of having a father at all if he's just going to be lousy and he wouldn't teach you anything. It's always better to have a respectable father figure in your life then to have a lousy father figure.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none. A father to me plays a huge role in a childs life he keeps thing stable throughout your childhood. My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
India has the potential to lead the world,i remember the only country by whose fear alexander's army was afraid   it was INDIA   after just sixty years of independence INDIA is looked as the country to become the sixth member of security council of UN   and it is also the country with a great development rate   And i know that none of us are unknown to the great contribution of INDIA in the discovery of god partical   then from where the matter comes from that INDIA is not having the pottential
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it's better to be fatherless because having someone to look up to, I'd rather choose no father than having a uncaring and lousy father there to be a stain in my life. I wouldn't look up to him and he doesn't necessarily have to be the fatherly figure I have to look up to."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think the common good is a better endeavor, because it's better to give then to receive. It's better to give other people you're hand out in help then you holding your own hand."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction."
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottles can easily be made into long term fiber materials, like clothing or carpet. It is easy to just fill cup with water and re use it."
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
parents should not spank their children,"No, i don't think they should be spanked because in my opinion i don't think it works, maybe it will once, but as they grow up it's not a good technique to do, because then y'all wont have a good relationship and the relationship will not grow. There is other techniques they can learn from."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
atheism is better than christianity,"religious people are always using the same argument: you cant prove he doesn't exist!!!!you CANNOT disprove a negative. meaning, you cant prove something is not there,which already is not there."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."

creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught.

water bottles should not be banned,"it is true that bottled water is a waste, but bottles can be reused!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
gay marriage is wrong,"I did not propose ""separate but equal."" I proposed ""distinct and different."" Man/woman relationships, especially in the aggregate, have a very different set of implications than man/man and woman/woman relationships. If the law is to contemplate man/woman relationships intelligently, it has to be able to isolate them.   A law requiring separate schools and public accomodations for homosexual people would violate ""separate but equal."" Law defining marriage as a man/woman relationship does not."
India has the potential to lead the world,"ooooooooh really David then why people from your country knock their doors in India for gaining peace and get rid of depression,why does most of the named firms of the world have highest no. of Indian employees cuz we are genius,and we are actually intellectually superior.in past we have lead the world and we'll surely lead the world again in near future wait and watch"

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"

physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"The ability to do both would be awesome, but since I have to choose I'd rather help others in any way I can. Even a little thing can impact someone's life, like being a friend or helping them with getting their needs to survive life."
water bottles should be banned,this is a load of bull excrament. These arguments are not factual and make your team seem like a bunch of foolish fools.

So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"

gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has sex, so making a profit on it isn't wrong it's genius"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
porn is not wrong,"I note that whenever someone starts in on the ""Porn is ebil 'n' degrading"" spiel, they focus exclusively on women.   As if there's no such thing as porn *actors*. (What, men don't count?)   Porn is a form of entertainment. No more. No less. Any arguement otherwise is just ""Feminist"" bullsh*t."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."

christianity is better than christianity,"Atheists rely on proof even though they have none... So if my religion has no proof so that gives your religion proof atheists? Makes no sense.

Everyone knows evolution is a load of crap."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
India has the potential to lead the world,India surely has the potential to lead the world.........Dr Manmohan Singh is considered as the most qualified prime minister all over the world.........India has proved its potential in various fields and aspects............
water bottles should not be banned,bottled water is not bad for the world because after youre done drinking your bottle of water you can re-use it several times to have serval bottles of water using less plastic. plastic is also recyclable and can make new objects such as more plastic bottles so technically you can re-use and re-use the same plastic bottle over and over again. it will not be bad for the economy if we figure out how to reuse properly.
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Schools should not create dress codes.   On one hand, yes, uniforms help student focus more on thier work. On another, uniforms also help with keeping order in a school(kids are highly impressionable... etc.....). But kids are allowed ot have thier own creativity.   Just like any other law or code, they can have specific rules to prevent wearing certain things."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."

India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?

school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
parents should not spank their children,"Some kids don't learn by spanking them..So why waste your time on that, when you can always take something valuable away from them."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"There are plenty of students who don't like Physical Education, so, it should be an elective subject."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
gay marriage is fine,How can anyone say that Gay Marriage is Wrong. It is a personal choice that is made from personal beliefs so who are we to say that gay couples do not have the right to enjoy all of the benefits that straight couples do?
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
water bottles should be banned,"Take, for instance, Pepsi's Aquafina or Coca-Cola's Dasani bottled water. Both are sold in 20 ounce sizes and can be purchased from vending machines alongside soft drinks - and at the same price. Assuming you can find a $1 machine, that works out to 5 cents an ounce. These two brands are essentially filtered tap water, bottled close to their distribution point. Most municipal water costs less than 1 cent per gallon.   So why would you pay for something that comes out of your sink."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't turn in my spouse. Just because the girl that i married killed someone doesn't make them a terrible person. People make mistakes.
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
tv is better than books,I think that TV is good because it is faster and some people cant read
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
porn is wrong,"hells yeah porn is wrong. i mean wtf. film naked girls to publicly distribute it on the internet so jerk off's can jack off to them. porn is only here because it makes so much money and stupid people are buying into it. if it's not wrong then try watching it in front of your family, friends or the younger youth. yeah you would feel uncomfortable and you know why? because of common f**king sense and our conscience deep inside we know it's wrong."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Ha ha, no.   India was most successful when it was ruled by other empires, they cant even lead themselves."
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
porn is wrong,I become suicidal thinking of the one i love most getting off on other women.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"You are mixing topics thereby creating fallacy in your argument. The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."
porn is not wrong,It is no more wrong than any other form of expression that is used for exploitation.
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would not turn him in unless he killed a more than one because there is no way it could be an accident more than once. I think if i loved the person enough i could hide the facts and act like it never happened.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
parents should spank their children,Yes I believe you should spank a child only when they know they are wrong. The child will understand more if he is scared to do the same mistake. Actions speak louder than words.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
school uniform is a good idea,"Wearing school uniform U can be sure that you go to school to study, not showing how fashionable you are"
gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."
gay marriage is fine,Just beacuse there gay does not mean that they dont have a right to be happy! how would u feel if you were denied! we live in the 21st centry! everyone else is allowed to get married so why should not they!
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I believe its better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless. I myself know what's its like to not have a father, so to me it would be better to have a lousy father than no father at all. For some people, to have a lousy father is like having no father. But in reality you don't really know how good your father is or how good you really have it until he is gone and never coming back."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
tv is better than books,Because it is a source of entertainment also its help people that cant read :)
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i think, the india is not ready to lead the world because of many reasons..   1.) the politians of our country are involved in black money cases. they try to gain or earn money as possible.   2.) they always try to make a big issue of useless topics. e.g., if a politian says something about another politian, they try to make it a big issue ."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
porn is wrong,porn is wrong.............. unless it has smoken hot lesbians in it   in fact i am downloading porn even as i type
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."
water bottles should be banned,Yes it is creating SIERIOUS issues to the envirnment. When people finally realize that is in turn hurting us to as humans maybe they won't want that plastic after all!
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,Children have two role models; mom and dad. Parents affect their child's behavior and personality so if that relationship is damaged then the child's character can be damaged as well. I would prefer to be fatherless because the damage of a lousy father would scar my personality far greater than being fatherless.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"advancing the common good is better to me because, If i were to pursue my own personal pursuit, it wouldn't be all that good, because most of them would be selfish choices that woulld end up hurting someone else, i dont like hurting people. It would be a much better world if we thought about everyone else well being before we think about our selves."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Id rather be fatherless than to have a lousy father. Having a lousy father who tires to tell me what to but doesn't do anything with his life would just make me mad. Id rather be raised by my mother who is caring, loving, and actually does something with her life and works everyday to make money to put food on the table."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all. I would rather be fatherless, than to have to deal with someone who on a daily basis would frustrate me. At least when you have no knowledge of a father, you only ponder on it from time to time. On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."
porn is not wrong,"No porn is not wrong. As an abstract noun, it cannot be wrong."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
parents should spank their children,I say yes because children are getting more and more violent and they need to get discipline if they decide to act up.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!"
India has the potential to lead the world,India is in my personal list of countries to keep an eye on over the next thirty years. I think they're a good contender for superpower status before the end of this century.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
tv is better than books,you can just sit on the couch with some crisps or a burger or sweets and watch tv when you cant be botherd to to anything else
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
evolution is better than creationism,"Radiometric dating can be done in many ways. Today there are over 40 different techniques to do it. It is the fact they are independent, observable, and falsifiable that makes it scientific rigor. I would recommend going tohttp://www.asa3.org/aSA/resources/Wiens.html for more information on radiometric dating."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"stupid india they actually really suck. so, BOO INDIA BOO!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
evolution is better than creationism,"I have to contradict phro and say that the peppered moths do show evidence of evolution. The data may have been insufficient, but evolution did occur.   When different alleles are expressed due to external factors, this is evolution."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will not lead the world because the gap between the rich and poor is too great and they still heavily believe in the caste system.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in because he murdered someone. Don't get me worng I would try to persuade him first to turn himself in but if that didn't happen I would have to take reponsiblity for him. Plus I wouldn't want to feel the guilt of always knowing that I didn't turn that murder in. If he truly loved me I wouldn't have killed someone.
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i m student of class 11 .I have to take part in dbt. that' s why asked you,plz.give me more datas.i will be highly obliged to you"
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
christianity is better than christianity,"Atheism is based on science, but faith is based on the soul. An atheist is always looking for the absence of God, but religious person just believes. Atheism should be constantly fed, but faith shouldn't be.   Although I'm religious person, I think atheist can stand to hear besause everyone is indepent and everyone has to have his own opinion."
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
parents should not spank their children,"No, because they don't really understand what they are doing since they are barely growing up and still trying to understand the world."
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
creationism is better than evolution,"k, I believe that 'God' created and then tweaked via evolution?   we all find out within 100 years anyways...."
christianity is better than christianity,"False Dichotomy.   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   I would also like to point that atheism predates Christianity, destroying your ""test of time"" argument (which was bullshit to begin with- argumentum ad populum). In fact, by definition, atheism predates religion."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like it is better to do both, but in order to help others you need to help yourself. It all starts with your personal goals before you can help others."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, parents should use spanking as an option to discipline their children, but it should be the last option."
school uniform is a bad idea,When there young and trying to find them selves there is no need to get rid of there independence. I vote bad
parents should not spank their children,"Parents should not rely on spanking their children when they are misbehaving. Although, it may sometimes seem necessary to spank your children, in my opinion it should always be the last resort."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I Think It's better to try a different option besides spanking that can affect a child's way of thinking and may get depressed"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
gay marriage is wrong,"there is no such thing as ""gay marriage"". Marriage can only be between a man and a woman."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
tv is better than books,TV is WAY better than reading books from the blimem OLDEN DAYS!!!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,What does legalizing drugs have to do with saving lives? Keeping abortion legal will help save lives by eliminating the need to have to illegaly abort a child and kill themselves at the same time.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"i strongly believe that India cannot lead . u people talk about the 7th , 3rd , 2nd rank of India in area defense and arable land respectively but here we r talking about the supreme power we cant rely on 2nd or 3rd. moreover the people r lazy they don't have the time 2 think about country's development they r happy at their home"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
water bottles should be banned,Yeah I have a bottle of water next to me its no bid deal!
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
christianity is better than christianity,"If God doesn't exist, how come there are loads of predictions, sent by God, written thousands of years before Jesus saying exactly what happened to Jesus?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
porn is wrong,PORN iS WRONG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX!! MAYBE EVERYONE FEEL DIFFERENT BUT STILL IF YU WANNA WATCH PEOPLE HAVE SEX GET A MIRROR AND HAVE SEX AND LOOK AT YUR SELF...CUZ KIDS OUT HERE R WATCHIN IT AND DOIN THE WRONG THINGS!
evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument. You fail to recognize the significance of self replicating systems within a naturally selecting environment. A good read: ""The Selfish Gene"" by Richard Dawkins. Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."
christianity is better than christianity,This is just wrong we should not insult who we believe in we do not need to know what you people think
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"You don't know these girl's/women's stories, who are you to judge what they can or can't do? Until you've walked a mile in these girl's/women's shoes, than you may have the opportunity to speak on their behalf. Until then, you may not have to like it and may stand firm with your opinion, but at least have the audacity to respect other's opinions on the subject matter."
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
water bottles should not be banned,The water bottles are a safe source of water and is garentee safety
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Physical Ed causes many problems. Also, we shouldnt need Phys Ed to graduate school."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, if the person I loved and lived with murdered someone then I would definitely turn them in. Murder is premeditated and intentional so you never know if later on down the line they will turn on you."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."

evolution is better than creationism,"""How come people aren't still evolving?""   How are you so sure we are not?   Could you please show some evidence that we are NOT evolving? And dont say, because we would notice if we were.   Solid varifiable evidence if your key to proving your point."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society."

tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
school uniform is a bad idea,"i dont think its a good idea to keep restrictions becoz thats just going to make students especialy teens more hungry for fashion .its better 2 feed them than keeping them hungry.and once they r away from these restrictions,we will c d othr side of them which is way worse with no morals.so alow people 2 b free with their personalities instead of stoping them."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."

school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Expensive, embarrassing for some, unfair for AP students that aren't in varsity sports because varsity athletes can waive the class."
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."

gay marriage is wrong,"For anyone who tries to follow these threads of arguments and rebuttals, it looks like chasbas' argument which I rebutted on Feb 07, 2007 07:09 has been deleted, presumably by chasbas. I wish the argument/rebuttal system on the site were better."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.

school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."

evolution is better than creationism,"Define ""order and detail."" Existence isn't a BMW. You are falling for the old 'watch maker' argument.

Not as aggressive as his more recent ""The God Dilusion,"" and equally well written."

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises.

He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst.

We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
parents should spank their children,It shouldn't be used constantly but it should be used to get the message across to the child
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"if a woman gets raped and is left with the chil, she should put it up for adoption. if someone murders a pregnant women, they get charged for killing the woman and the fetus. People have the stupid excuss that it's not a baby, it's a fetus. if you look it up in the dictionary, it says that a fetus is an unborn baby."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce..

tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
gay marriage is wrong,Two men/women together does not seem natural. Although we know the world is changing and there are new ideas the purpose of two humans being together is to reproduce and make new life. Marriage is in front of God and the words are taken from the Bible but it is obvious that God does not approve of this so doesn't it seem ironic in a way?

gay marriage is fine,"I believe that everyone has a right to be happy. I have two best friends who are gay, one is female and the other is male. I have no problem being around them as well as when they are with their partners. I believe that gay people have every right to get married just as I had the right to get married to my husband. EVERYONE has the right to love who they want to love and even if they are gay they should be able to get married just like people who are straight."

school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
school uniform is a bad idea,Kids don't want to wear the same clothes every day I know I would hate it.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
gay marriage is wrong,"I am a christian. The bible says plain out that homosexuality is wrong. Call me pathetic, weak, or whatever you want to call me, but I know for sure that the bible is the TRUTH, the WHOLE truth, and the ONLY truth."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
parents should spank their children,"Yes , because if they are afraid of getting spanked then they won't do it again . The parent should only spank them and not go over board and keep hitting them ."

tv is better than books,"People who are against tv keep on saying that it causes obesity.   I'm not going to go for a run and bring a book to read on the way. I think it is much easier to exercise watching tv then reading a book.   In gyms people do not have books infront of them, instead they have telvisions.   Studies have shown that telivision is even more stimulating than books."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
water bottles should not be banned,"If bottled water did not exist, more people would be drinking sweetened liquids becasue it would be the only portable drinks! People would become fat!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I Believe that its better to have a lously father than no father; because growing up being fatherless would have a major impact on your childhood.Meaning, wondering about who your father was and what he was lousy at or good at. Also growing up without a lously father would mean you cant prove to your father that there is greatness in him; meaning the son he made turns out to become a bright and better person in society."
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"No matter what circumstance a woman is in SHE got herself pregnant! When rape occurs why is it the poor, defenceless baby who gets no choice and dies? The baby is innocent, yes it wasnt the mothers fault but why is she more important than a child?   Women have become selfish where there bodies are concerned. They believe they have the right to get pregnant and then get rid of the baby because they feel like it and made a mistake. These are childrens lives we are talking about"
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
gay marriage is wrong,"I'm an avid christian and I believe that gay marriage is wrong beyond belief. This country was founded on christian beliefs, and we should adhere to the belifs used to make us what we are today."
christianity is better than christianity,I have a personal relationship with Christ. I do believe.
school uniform is a good idea,This is very. Bad as the uniforms are also cost effective
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
parents should spank their children,I think you should hit you kids because if they did something really bad like crash your car or steal you need to hit them so they know that they should not be doing that.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
tv is better than books,"TV ,,!! because you can get information from different resources in a short time ,,, but Books you must read a lot to get that much of information !!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong. I made a commitment to stay whit her through rough times and I will. Murder is a unforgivable mistake but love is not.
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
porn is not wrong,"i LIKE porn, jerking off is always a good time"
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?

pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
water bottles should be banned,I don't ever wanna be here   Like punching in a dream breathing life into my nightmare   If it falls apart I would surely wake it   Bright lights turn me clean   This is worse than it seems
tv is better than books,Without TV actors/actresses wouldn't have jobs.   Without TV you wouldn't know what's happening around the world. I mean the newspapers can't fit all that in.   Books and newspapers can't give you emergency warnings or updates or new flashes
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
gay marriage is wrong,"the last comment was put on the wrong side, my bad"
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
christianity is better than christianity,"all this debate proves is that the internet is full of conceded, stuck up, narcissistic, atheists who are totally bigoted and intolerant of other peoples beliefs and cant leave people alone to worship or not worship as they chose athieists are biggots plain and simple"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.

atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
christianity is better than christianity,"i'm not a Christianity but i mean if your a Christianity, you really can't argue with them at all unless your argument is base on on the same subject. kinda of like Street fighting and UFC. different platform."
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
water bottles should not be banned,"U.S. alone grew by over 13%. According to research and consulting done by the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the global bottled water industry has exploded to over $35 billion. Americans alone paid $7.7 billion for bottled water in 2002. In 2001, for example globally bottled water companies produced over 130,000 million liters of water. This produced roughly 35,000 million dollars in revenue for the world's thousands of bottled water companies in 2001."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."
evolution is better than creationism,"I like to think both are true.   1. God created the first things (i don't think adam and ever were really human, maybe single celled. but man had a hard time believing that so we made the first creatures Man)   2. Those things God created Evolved to fit their surroundings. (there is proof of this, you can not deny this. i do not know if we came from monkeys or not.)   I believe in God and Evolution."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
books are better than tv,"If those who have actually read a book, then there is really no debate."
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
gay marriage is wrong,Is incestual marriage right or wrong? Does gay marriage include incestual homosexual marriage?   Which country legalized homosexual unions which lead to a lower marriage rate?
pro-life is better than pro-choice,for everyone who is talking about RAPE in this subject let me ask you one thing!!!! if you got in a huge fight with someone and ended up breaking your hand or arm... would you cut it off just because it would REMIND you of that expirience???   if your actualy SANE you would say no and if you say yes you need to see a Physiatrist!!!!
parents should not spank their children,No because if we hit our children their gonna think that we don't love them.
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,There once was a rapper who said he was the people's Champ. When wanting to be successful sometimes you need to worry about the common good because that's what people want. I believe that advancing the common good is a better endeavor. Because when always thinking about your self and your personal pursuits you tend to become conceited and become an A hole. And an A jerk is a person that's not liked and when alone and not liked by others becomes lonely.
atheism is better than christianity,I am an atheist because i believe that we all have one life that we should enjoy and preserve for all future generations
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
parents should not spank their children,There's some parents that spank their children for every little thing. And that is not right. They will always be scared of them.
school uniform is a bad idea,"uniform sucks. wearing uniform doesn't mean better learning at school (students go to school to learn to prepare for their future, not to waste money to buy uniform ).. NO CONNECTION BETWEEN UNIFORM WORN N SCHOOL RESULTS..."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"As human beings, we are selfish and have been fabricated with a survival mechanism that tell is to do whatever whenever to protect the ones that we love. I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
water bottles should be banned,"In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Why should India lead the world???!!!   Kill all the politicians first and India will be developed tomorrow.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"First of, India does NOT have the potential to ""rule"" the world because have you seen the people? Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
school uniform is a good idea,Means you don't have to worry about what you hve to wear!   Less awkward when people say wear school uniform and you wear mufti...
evolution is better than creationism,"think about it, it's impossible for evolution to NOT happen. the weak die, the strong continue to breed. this strengthens the species. argument over.   however, creationism and evolution are not exclusionary. i don't believe in a god simply because of the unbelievably minute chance of a god (or gods) existing"
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
gay marriage is wrong,Gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying."
parents should spank their children,"Parents should use spanking as an option to discipline only when it's needed. If the child doesn't follow the correct behavior that they should follow after several times being warned, then that is when the child deserves a spanking."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"we did not create the baby, we are not the ones who gave it life, why should we be the ones who put it to death, we have no authority to do such a thing."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,That situation is very rare and can usually be countered with a contraceptive drug if the woman seeks medical attention after the assault

water bottles should not be banned,"AS long as people recycle the evironment, the water bottles are thrown and poluted. Its not the water companies fault."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
evolution is better than creationism,"Unfortunately, most of what sabrejimmy says is a load of crap.   This is what makes these kinds of debates pointless. You have some idiot creationists, who don't understand anything about science.   sabrejimmy hasn't attempted to learn anything from this debate. He continues to ask ridiculous questions.   Personally, I think I will have to ignore his future posts. Intelligent debate is satisfying, but this isn't."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,people can make the choice for themselves. it is not up to us or the government to decide to add more unwanted children to this world.
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
gay marriage is fine,"Religion, lifestyle etc is a personal choice. If your religion or culture disallows gay marriage, that's fine. It means you don't want to marry a person of the same gender. But then why should it extend to other religions or cultures? Gay people marrying in no way affects your marriage to the opposite gender either, they simply get married and get on with it just like you do."
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,So then you're saying the if the woman were to get an abortion right after than t would be fine?
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
gay marriage is fine,"Why does it matter? If two people regardless of gender love each other to the point of which the two marry, shouldn't that follow what the bible really teaches us.   All you bible nutjobes by the way are making me sick. The bible teaches love and forgiveness, and lets not forget dont judge others before you judge yourself."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I volunteer at Irving Cares, and when I do I feel so great that I can help the community. To me when I help advance the common good I am helping myself. When people do something for the good of others it helps them out in the long run. Whether it is a favor in return or anything else. In a personal pursuit you are just helping yourself. If we all just helped ourselves where would our world be? We all depend on others for help at some point. This world should be about others, not just me."
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
porn is not wrong,"The question is: who has the right to prohibit it? Government? Why would there be any pressing need at all for the state to outlaw pornography? Look at Europe- they're cool with pretty much everything. I don't see any moral depravity in Europe, do you?"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in.

But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear.

And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."

christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing.

I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true.

Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink.

The debate is not to determine under what circumstances may murder be morally acceptable, rather, the legal (some may say moral) foundation on which one can state that an individual has the right to terminate pregnancy.   In addition, you may want to brush up on your etymology and vary your sources rather than simply paraphrasing definitions that fit your point of view."

gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".

No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"your argument doesn't hold validity since in the cases you sited, the mental stability and ability to reason are completely compromised. The state intervenes in the cases in instances of mental illness.   You will need to find a better answer. Sorry. Try again."

I mean you have to focus on yourself before you can take on the problems of the world and trying to fix them, or you will end up having a break down or something."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life.

The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."

Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."

gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
tv is better than books,If you can only understand or speak a specific language but you move to another country then most of the books are not in your language but TV comes in all different languages and you can also hear how the words are pronounced in a different language.
school uniform is a good idea,"year,i support this view. when i was studying in the school,for me wasn't a problem what to wear . In the university....i spend too much time in choosing clothes. firstly, it is wasting a time. secondly, when all students wear one uniform, there wouldn't be any discrimination, dividing into social status groups. A uniform shows students equality."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
parents should spank their children,"yea, because even though there are many other different ways to discipline kids, sometimes it won't work so they need a little spank, just to make them learn they were wrong. don't always be spanking them for no reason, that's bad"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,I HATE P.E. I have to run so much and I hate it soooo much!!!!!
parents should not spank their children,Physical abuse towards children causes them to fear their parents and may cause a stutter.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
India has the potential to lead the world,ndians has always been powerful why r u forgeting about its ancient glory history
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because TV can make you blind. your eyes can also hurt alot if you watch to much.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Well for me its a kind of a 50/50. I think that evryone should be less selfish and do things that are ""advancing the common good"", but then again on the other hand we live in the real world and we are going to things that better benifit us. For example in your job your not going to try to make another employe, your going to try to make yourself look good so that you will get more money."
books are better than tv,"Books r like cool! TV is not! Books are for nerds, Tv is for weirdos, I think Black ops is better! ROFL!"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"My one question...   Why is it we argue for the ""right"" to kill the unborn when the government is taking away our real rights?"
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"At the moment, I would have to choose a Personal Pursuit, I have goals set and would like to have them accomplished before I can begin to help others. Although I do enjoy helping others, it is ""I"" who I must help first."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,I choose life   Reagan once said something like this   Notice that everyone who is pro choice has been born
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that i would turn them in because i don't think that's right, killing someone and getting away with it, and also i wouldn't want to be next to a murderer on my bed."
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,Actually the government does tell women what they can and can't do with their bodies   It's illegal to commit suicide   If a person is caught trying to hack themselves to peices they could be placed in a mental institute   So the government actually does limit what a woman can do with her body
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes definately i will turn him in to the police because he has commited a murder and its a sin. Maybe if he gets arrested,he can feel guilty for what he has done and try not to repeat it again. And also how can i trust a murderer?He can even be telling a lie to me and maybe can kill me for someone else in the future.so Just by confiding to me does not make him clean and innocent."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I rather have a lousy father then not have a father at all. Having a lousy father you have a father that cares for you and loves you. You can fix if he's lousy you can talk to him and knock some sense into him. I think it would hurt me not knowing who my father is and would want to know who he is. As long as you have a second parent that you can talk to when you can't talk to your mom about. I don't know how it would be if it was only my mom raising me.
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
school uniform is a bad idea,"I truly believe that wearing uniform is bad, because it is not helping to student to express his/her individuality. It is also very uncomfortable , and during winter time might very cold as well. That is why schools shouldn't force students to wear uniform."
parents should not spank their children,No because hitting your child could mentally scar them for life. also it can make them think hitting their kids is alright.
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
parents should not spank their children,"Honestly, I believe that spanking shouldn't be accepted to discipline a child. There are many options that parents can take. That's why we have a mouth to speak and say what's right from wrong and wrong from right."
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
creationism is better than evolution,Could a unproven higher power have created a perfect world that appeared to have existed for more than 10 million years when really it is only 1 hundred thousand years old?
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think common good is better than personal pursuit because its better to help other people. I feel good when i help people because it makes me feel happy that im doing something good in life.
books are better than tv,Books will be always great whatever the new technological developments emerges books has its fixed place in every humans heart
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,Russell Peters is a master at making fun of these people.
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
atheism is better than christianity,It is ignorant and idiotic to think that god exist. Any other argument is completely invalid.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
school uniform is a good idea,"yes, i believe it's nice to have a school uniform. Each school 's uniform signifies its goal for instant i wore white shirt and blue skirt in my school days, white color is an indication of peace and blue of fidelity in relationships moreover identical uniform also removes the wall of status. it also depicts that whether a child comes from high or low class they all are treated equally under one roof ."
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
atheism is better than christianity,Atheism; I need at least some evidence before I can believe in magic.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
evolution is better than creationism,"I used to think that belief in God was reasonable before the theory of evolution. However, the ""who created the creator"" argument seems to apply here. An all-knowing all-powerful loving, merciful, personal God is as complex a creature as I can imagine, so complex life cannot be explained by a complex creator."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
water bottles should not be banned,craig is a hypocryte with bottled water and should not be taken seriously
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
atheism is better than christianity,"As humans, we cannot know exactly if there is a higher force or not. Christianity however is not it. Firstly because it is not one belief that every Christian shares, it lacks solidarity. I compare it to a road with all different kinds of sideways. Ask a question about religion, and lots of people will find one of those sideways to adjust their religion to their personal beliefs.   With Atheïsm, the concept is pretty clear. It is more scientific, and I like that."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personally i think that if you are not helping yourself you cant help no one else. If you try to help every person that needs your help, they will just slow you down. Don't get me wrong helping people is always right. In the big picture if you pursuit your dreams and get rich, fame, and power you will be able to help the people that matter to you."
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Helping others for the common good can give you a feeling of pride but you have to have the means to be able to help the other person. To have those means you first have to have personal pursuit. I don't think one is better than the other but you first have to have personal pursuit before you can have common good. However for some people their personal pursuit can be the advancement of the common good.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Hitler's mother wanted to have him aborted. Needless to say they should have let her.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is not wrong. If it is really wrong, then Porn should be ""Illegal"". Porn supplies the ""Erotic"" needs of people who doesn't have a partner. :)"
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Advancing the common good is much better. From the very first day our parents or our teachers have taught us about team work.   The whole point of doing community service is about the common good. We have to help others in order to help our selves.
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
school uniform is a bad idea,"Another reason argued against school uniforms is that they deprive the children of their individuality. The stress on a uniform dress code in school opposes the spirit of unity in diversity and its celebration. It is even claimed to restrict socialization, a vital aspect of human nature."
creationism is better than evolution,Our world could be a giant hologram   http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20126911.300-our-world-may-be-a-giant-hologram.html   It is exceedingly likely that we live in a simulated universe
India has the potential to lead the world,"we should not forget lord rama, krishna, vishvamitr etc which give far view that india will be the vishvguru in future"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
India has the potential to lead the world,"indian culture,,and languages are established 2000yrs ago where other countries are finding there languags"
porn is not wrong,me and my wife share an exciting and passionate love life. we love the porn. we pop it on and use it to kick it up a notch. set the room on fire. for us itt is a way to share and expand the love we enjoy together in the bedroom.   so as long as it is legal and everyone is of age then there should be no problem.
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water consumption has grown exponentially over the past ten to fifteen years. This growth has taken place globally, but particularly in Europe and North America. The bottled water industry has literally created its own water culture which is good for american industries."
water bottles should be banned,"The high price of bottled water is not the water but, in actuality, the cost of the bottling, packaging, shipping, marketing, retailing and transporting it all over the globe"
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I wouldn't turn my wife in because I love her and married her for a reason. I would trust my wife that she killed someone for a good reason, relatively because murder is still murder. Gene hackman killed the guy her wife was cheating with."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"There are plenty of students who don't like Physical Education, so, it should be an elective subject."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
porn is wrong,"porn is wrong.....   it's wrong 'cause it's not any good.   if it were REALLY good, then it would REALLY be wrong."
creationism is better than evolution,"There has to have been a creator. If you believe in 'The Big Bang', then that's fine. But what caused it? And if it was caused by certain gases reacting with each other, then where did those gases come from? It doesn't matter how you think this universe came to be. The point is that it can't have just appeared. There must have been a creator."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the common good is always better than personal pursuit. If every person decided to advance the common good, then every person would see the effects of it. Of course, most people chose personal pursuit because they will benefit from it."
gay marriage is fine,"let me start by saying i feel marriage as an institution is ridiculous and needn't exist, however thats another debate entirely. To me who wishes to get married is wholly irrelevant. Hell i think animals should be allowed to join in holy matrimony as well, it would certainley be an entertaining ceremony. Far more so then any wedding i have ever attended."
parents should not spank their children,"Not everything begins with violence, parents shouldn't hit kids for discipline, only if its necessary ."
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"As we know that India is fully filled with corruption. Each and every person have no time to help others, his only aim is to earn money in any way.Our manners and civilization are reducing and reducing every day."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
evolution is better than creationism,"What - is God coming in the year 2100 to judge us then? Not in 2000?   Why would God have to tweak anyhow. The guy is all-powerful. So he created some single-celled organisms billions of years ago, and then said to himself ""I'm going to set this thing called evolution going and see what happens. Yes, I'll tweak these tiny organisms a bit. Then maybe humans will evolve some day and I can make Mary give birth to Jesus.""   Yes, that all makes a lot of sense. A good use of God's time."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"when people condemned consensual-cannibalism in africa, did they think of these people's right to their bodies? no. why should abortion be any different?"
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"More than likely I would not turn in my spouse, because there is that love that binds us together. But on the flip side, if it was just down right cold blooded murder, yes I would turn them in."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is more important to me, because every person is responsible for themselves and their own actions. Advancing the common good would just mean that one or two people may not have to work as hard as you would for the same thing because of something you may have done. A personal pursuit can never be inequal. You'll always be able to dig yourself as deep into a hole as you want to, but standing as one person rather than many, you could probably dig faster if you were alone."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I fell like advancing the common goods is better than personal pursuit because most people will look out for themselves rather than look out for others. Looking out for yourself before lookin out for others won't do alot of good in the long run. I believe in the what goes around comes around thing so when you do something for other people before you try to please yourself, not only does it help them but something good will also come back to you helping you better yourself."
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils. As a rule, As a rule, it often occurs between the girls, although it is not rare between the boys. that's why school uniform liquidates all conflicts."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes I would be happy and relieved to turn my spouse in for murder. Killing someone is the one number one crime in this world. I don't want to stay married to a crazy woman who commits murder. I wouldn't feel safe if we have children in the house or sleeping next to her. I wouldn't be able to sleep or think right for months, maybe years."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"In my opinion, I believe it is better to be fatherless then to have a lousy father. I wouldnt know how it feel to have a lousy father but I have friends that there fathers are always drunk and never do anything to help them. They sometimes tell me they wish there dad wasn't around. Now if my dad was like that I would think the same because at least by not having a father you wouldnt know how it feels to be dissapointed by a father."
gay marriage is fine,AS LONG AS IT IS NOT DISEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE FINE WITH ITT ITS NOT OUR BUSINESS!!!
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
creationism is better than evolution,If evealution is real find me someone/something that is half way
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it.

I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.

Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
christianity is better than christianity,"Well though I behave as an atheist certainly I don't forget the principles and norms of Christianity;As this argument has heated up,Its better to conclude that this trend of atheism has not really gained that much ground and it would be anomalous to conceal our religion and say we support atheism."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,One word: Adoption   There is absolutley no reason to receive an abortion when you could continue through to birth and then put the child up for adoption.   This is a commonly ignored fact in the abortion debate. But I think it is by far the best choice.

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."

India has the potential to lead the world,"India and China could redefine what third world country means because in the future, both will be first and third world countries simultaneously."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that focusing on a personal persuit comes first, going to college, having a career, and reaching a position of power. I don't think there really is a day when you will announce to the world that your going to advance the common good, but you can help people here and there, donating a little bit of time, donating a little money, but in the end if your ever in the position of power and have money you could truly advance the common good."
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."

water bottles should be banned,Water bottles are bad. Water bottles are bad because it causes pollution.

parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.

Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Don't kid yourself: the vast majority of abortions in this country are for reasons of convenience. If I was allowed to kill someone anytime they were inconvenient to me, I would be leaving a trail of bodies behind me when I walked down the street."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."

Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
atheism is better than christianity,I'm sad to see the way this turned out. With not so little respect and so much spamming. I choose atheism over a Christianity because their is not enough evidence to soothe my curiosity. Christianity raises too many questions that it never answers.
parents should spank their children,"because depending on the punishment you give a child it doesn't always work, some kids need need that. because just sitting them in punishment its a possibility they will do it again."

water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I believe that both are bad but I would rather go fatherless. What is the point of having someone in your life that is lousy? A father should set a good example for their children. If the dad is lousy then he is teaching his kids that it is okay to be that way and not do anything with their life. If I got married and my husband was a lousy father, I would tell him he better step up and be the dad I know he can be or get out the house a never come back."
gay marriage is fine,It might be against the teachings of the bible etc... but only because a gay relationship bears no offspring which is why it was banned.   Also it was seen to weaken the position of men.   Time have changed... its time to accept.

India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
water bottles should not be banned,there aint no sunshine without plastic water bottles. only darkness everyday.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think i will go with personal persuit because no matter what we do we think of ourself first. I think its the human nature.But personal pursuit does not mean being selfish and only caring about oneself.I need to think about me first,success and then think of others. Everyone does think of themselves before thinking about others. First i need to make me happy to make others happy. This way i can make my life better and be who i am."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"A women and she alone is the one who should determine if she wants an abortion or not, at any stage of her pregnancy. Why is that it is mostly older white men who are attempting to establish anti-abortion laws for women? Why is it that most anit-abortionists are pro-death penalty?   Jon Jax 71"

books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."

I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being.

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils.

gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Although being fatherless is probably one of the biggest hardships, undesired by all.

On the other hand, a lousy father would be with you in your thoughts forever."

atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"

Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.

India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races.

If he wanted to be in My life he could've been in my life. But being Fatherless is not bad because I have My Mother and To me that's My Father.

physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I wouldnt turn her in becuase she is my wife. She made a mistake that we can get over it. If she trusted me by telling me what she did then I couldn't do that to her.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Ahora en mi querido idioma, lo diré   Eso a lo que llaman un ""bebé, un ser humano"" no es más que una planta, menos, me atrevería a decir   Lo único que hace es chupar recursos, al igual que la planta, aunque las plantas nos dan oxígeno...   Nadie niega que sea una vida, pero no puede sentir ni pensar, que es lo que suelen decir que hace más a los humanos que a los animales   El aborto es matar a un parásito"
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill. It can't possibly be a mistake if I stab some one in the leg with a sharp object, and say that it wasn't my intention to make him bleed.   My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Even though people make mistakes, a murder is always commited with the best of intentions to kill.

My point is that I wouldn't want to live under the same roof with a woman that could possibly be schizophrenic."
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I would not turn my spouse in. I would try to convince him to do the right thing and turn his own self in. But i dont see it as my place to go and turn him in. but it also depends on the reason behind him killing someone. it just cant be some random killing because i would turn him in for that for the fact that i would think that i would be next to get killed.
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
school uniform is a good idea,Uniforms allow an equal and fair social status only based on personality and not looks. I do half to admit wearing what you want is fun and creative but its only fun if everyone can do it and for some children thats not the case and they cant afford to live up to their peers standards so uniforms would make social life much easier and it would give a more mature look to the school.
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
parents should spank their children,"Yes because that way the child can learn not to do it again because it really hurt, and i know this from experience."
tv is better than books,i believe books are better(i believe i can fly...)   So true
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."

India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India... where they have like a whole class of opressed people and a huge wealth differences? And with a language that the majority of the world can't understand and doesn't want to understand? India's education quality has nothing compared to Western education and it's the superpowers that control the world's economy.   I highly doubt India will ever lead the world, and it doesn't even have the potential to. It should leave that to the superpowers."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught.

tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I thing personal pursuit because i believe that you have to help yourself first to accomplish your goals because how can you help someone if you dont help yourself. Helping yourself first would make you a better person and i think that after you achieve your goals and becoming a better person you would be able to help the common good.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This argument could go both ways but I would have to agree with being fatherless because to me a lousy father is a father who is never there when you need him to be there or, he is never there to listen to what you have to say that's why being fatherless is better in my opinion because you can imagine your father to be whatever you want him to be and, it makes you a better person and a better father."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
porn is wrong,"in the past, children could walk around as they pleased, to and from the candy store, to and from school. now there are child pornographors, sexual predators online. porn has opened the doors to new crimes."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4.

I would do everything in my power to protect my love, even if that means taking this horrible secret to the grave."
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because they need to learn in a way that they remember that if they do something bad. They will get hit."

gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Advancing the Common good is a better endeavor than a personal pursuit. For example there are those who want to help others. A personal pursuit however is only for those selfish people who only care about themselves. The common good happens to some from a loan for college, to a charity for an orphanage, a school, etc"
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"Nobody has the right to tell you what to do with your body, but if that which you are trying to rid off moves away at the first sign of pain, without you feeling it, then ""that"" is no longer yours, since it feels outside your own."
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."

Good Indian people with good minds are in some foreign country getting a Nobel prize while the others are just stuck ups who don't do anything and push the people who come up, down. Nobody actually lets anyone succeed. That's why!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"Nah, they can't even organize their damned streets! They bathe in the same river in which they bury their dead and defecate in - the Ganges! They're extremely poor - they can't even manage their own budget, much less a planet!   I'm going to get down-voted and insulted, but everything I have written is the truth."

physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
parents should spank their children,"Yes, because 1 getting hit helps you be stronger and grow up and 2 it makes you listen , it's not ABUSE it's getting spanked."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons.

gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Giving up a child has to be one of the most responsible decisions a woman can make in her life. Have you any idea the responsibility and maturity it takes to make such an important decision?   If a woman can not support a child(Either emotionally, physically, or financially) she should have right to choose to give up that child."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear.

it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"This is just my opinion, but I think it would be better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. I mean i was always tought that a true man should be someone respectable, honest, nd hard working, if he's not a that kind of man then he doesn't deserve to be a father in the first place. Besides just because you don't have a father that doesn't mean you can't have aa father figuer in you life."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
books are better than tv,Books offer improvement with grammar and spelling skills. Plus it's more creative. With TV everything is done for you. With books you can imagine the characters looks and the setting with your own little creativity in it.   Plus you can take books anywhere and everywhere without disrupting anyone.
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,i would turn in my wife because its wrong to kill someone. it could have been an accident but it was still wrong and besides the police are going to find out who killed that person but i don't want her to leave me for a long period of time so i would tell but then again i wouldn't.

it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would have to choose a lousy father. I think having a father figure around even though he might not do much for you or the family is better than none.

My father is pretty lousy but he does support me and helps out sometimes I would rather have a father than none.

A uniform shows students equality."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn them in whether it was self-defense or an act of rage. If it was self-defense they would most likely get away with it but if it were an act of rage I would not want to spend the rest of my life with that person. My conscience would eat at me and I could not live knowing that there's a family that is mourning because of my spouse's actions.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No. I couldn't imagine turning on my spouse like that. I know if i were to do something like that she will be right there next to me not saying a word. Plus if she were to kill someone it would be for a good reason.

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe that Personal pursuit is better because its more about you then it is about other people. if you cant focus on you personally how can you focus or help others around you. I'm not saying advancing the common good is bad at all. I'm just saying that its better to focus on yourself.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."

My father was very lousy. The last time I saw him was when I was thirteen, and i havn't heard from him since. It doesn't bother me because I don't know him, and because he's not around I am never set up for any disapointment. So I think that to be fatherless is much better."

When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and

water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
water bottles should not be banned,"The American Water companies are Aquafina (Pepsi), Dasani (Coke), Perrier (Nestle) which provide jobs for the american citizens,"
christianity is better than christianity,"I am neither Christian nor Atheist , but despite I beleive that Christianity is better than Atheism.If there is no place for God in your life , it can not even be callad as a ""life""."
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,Personal pursuit is better in my opinion. How are you going to reach common good if you cant better yourself. People may see that as being selfish but you cant help others if you cant help yourself.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,Besides just a few people apply physical exercises in their life's!
atheism is better than christianity,"I find most religions absolutely ridiculous and illogical, the only people who follow them are those who were brainwashed in childhood and really have no individual thought process. Most of the followers at least. Then there are theists who will twist ANY logic to fit their views. They're intelligent ones that you have to watch out for ;)   I'm not an atheist by any means, but I'd rather call myself an atheist than a Christian.   It allows for more logic in my mind."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
creationism is better than evolution,"What I meant was that in the situation, both moths were present at the time of the observation - both colored moths were on the trees to begin with...   ""Then the darkness was selected for when the environment changed during the Industrial Revolution.""   -Who selects this mutation to occur? Does it just happen by good fortune?"
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
parents should spank their children,"I agree because they must understand they where wrong. For their actions, they will receive consequences, and from that they will learn to not do it again."
tv is better than books,tv is better than books because you learn easier by seeing not read
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
water bottles should be banned,"Estimates variously place worldwide bottled water sales at between $50 and $100 billion each year, with the market expanding at the startling annual rate of 7 percent. Bottled water is big business. But in terms of sustainability, bottled water is a dry well."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year. Plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce. And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown away."
school uniform is a good idea,it is good to follow to proper school code and the right to express emotions is right but not necessary as we have come school for learning
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
school uniform is a good idea,"It is a good thing because this shows that the school and everyone else accepts each other no matter where they come from, who they are or what religion they are."
porn is not wrong,Listen porn is not wrong because in schools that never give an accurate demonstration because of parents. Porn not only teaches but also gives prime examples.
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Well it all pretty much depends....Like if she killed someone that deserved it well it would still be scary to sleep with them so this a maybe / maybe not situation... So yeah im not to sure
books are better than tv,"I say books are better because It has you use your Imagination so the more you read the more your Imagination improves and It helps you to Improve reading, grammar, and it improves your writing skills!!!   Also I want to say I HATE commercials!!!   I hate Sponge bob!!! I would say PBS Kids, history channel, and the other Channels that help kids or adults get smarter I would say are good!"
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"All I want to say to the spouses of the people on this side of the debate, ""Don't confide in your spouse and tell them that you killed somebody; they'll turn you in! And if they find out on their own, take them out before they turn you in!"" ;)"
atheism is better than christianity,"I'd like to point out how few disputs there are on the Christian side, that's cuz free minded people dont need to convince other's. We know that there isn't a god, and that its up to us to make our lives."
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
water bottles should be banned,"Bottled water is not strictly regulated while tap water is, so you have no idea what you are drinking when you drink bottled water."
atheism is better than christianity,"The greatest reason to find any given deity unreasonable is that you can replace it with one who has lied to humanity about literally everything it says, and we wouldn't be the wiser.   What makes it even weaker is that you can also replace it with a series of lies of humans or hallucinations.   There is no a single prophecy in the Bible, and certainly none that have come true."
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
parents should not spank their children,"I say no because spanking doesn't really solve the problem, anyone can get over a spanking fast, and do whatever they did again. So its better to be a bit strict, than to abuse a kid."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I don't think a mother should have the choice to kill her child. But I think she does have the choice of whether a fetus should be considered a human being. A fetus with a nervous system much less developed than that of a cow should not have greater rights than a cow.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
creationism is better than evolution,it shouldnt be about how we got here but why are we here.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India does not have the potential to lead the world because the country is full of corruption, corruption in politicians ,numerous religion, fight between various religions, and a lot more............................"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"a common argument is, ""what if the baby was to be the next DaVinci?""   there is a simple counter to this:   what if this person who hets pregnant is to be a legendary figure in the world but never gets to because she has to raise a baby that she was unprepared for."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Usually my decision in the end is yes and no,or goes both ways. Today, however it is advancing for the common good. Making a decision to better suit yourself will help you for that moment, but in the long run who will it really help? Whereas, if you make an advancement for the common good you help yourself and other people. If you think about it we all want the world to be a ""better place"", and if you've noticed personal endeavors have gotten ""us"" into some not so happy predicaments."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would have to say yes. She committed murder, a thing that can get you in major trouble, even if you're an accompalice. I don't care what the reason was, it could have been accidental, there could have been someone trying to attack her, or whatever, she killed someone. The second she tells me, I wil call the police, just in case she either goes on another killing spree or decides to kill me"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"A lousy father would be able to teach you more than no one at all. Maybe he will be able to teach what not to be like, how not to act, how not to treat your family. That is better than no teaching at all I think. He could toughen you up. Also you will at least know who he was and never wonder if your father was a saint or lousy, you already know."
parents should spank their children,I believe spanking is a good option to punish a child if nothing else works
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
porn is not wrong,"Porn isn't wrong, as long as you aren't doing it behind your partner's back.   It's only degrading to the women who choose to pose."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
India does not have the potential to lead the world,India will never lead the world as long as no one can understand what they are saying with their freaking accent ;)
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well me personally I think advancement of the common good is better. I don't really know how to back this up, I just know its the way i feel about the topic. I guess because I'm not a selfish person at all when it comes to anything. I believe in sharing and helping others out. So if there's something i have to sacrifice personally for the advance of the common good, 9 times out of 10 I'm going to do it."
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I dont think i could turn my spouse in, or my family and friends if they committed a murder because those people are way to close to me and i couldnt picture my life without any of them. Why would anyone send away someone they love, i think that is wong especialy if you live with the person."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If my spouse committed murder I would not turn him in. I would do the exact opposite I will help him hide all evidence if any, I will move if we had to, and I will never bring it up to his attention again. If my husband killed someone, he knew what he was doing, so there or it was for a cost. It would be hard for me to turn in the one I love."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
evolution is better than creationism,all i have to say on this issue is that there is actual evidence to support evolution!!
water bottles should be banned,"well with our water bottle consumption on the planet earth, we could cover all of mexico 3 Times, of could that would be a lot of ""rich"" in their mind Mexicans."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
school uniform is a bad idea,the kids lose their individuality and it doesn't feel comfortable
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I think that personal pursuit is more important because in order to help others you have to help yourself first. At the time it may seem selfish but once that you get to a point that you are good at what your doing then you can help others do the same. So not only are you helping yourself but you are also helping others.
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, I would turn my spouse in. Who is to say that if they killed once that they wont kill again. Who is to say that you aren't there next target. If they were to ever become paranoid about being caught they might just blow out your brains because paranoia makes you do crazy things. It would be hard to turn them in because you have a deep connection with your spouse but it's something you have to do for your own safety."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
atheism is better than christianity,"this is my big problem with christianity: why is it about belief. there have been horrible people who are believers. what about wonderful people who do great things for the world and are atheists. is it fair to punish them for not knowing what the nature od reality is??? I AM an atheist and im a good person. the idea that a mere belief difference can seal ones fate is beyond preposterous, its madness!!"
creationism is better than evolution,1. why is creation not science?   2. why is this classified under the religion category?   3. you disillusioned ppl think you look like monkeys?
water bottles should not be banned,We will be able to ban water bottles until we get out of this recession!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"In this situation it depends whether you knew the victim or if it was a stranger. If my husband killed a random stranger, then YES I would definitely turn him in because that considers him a psycho and what if he kills me too. But if he killed a person that I knew and that was harming us then I would think about it. It's most likely that I would turn him in just because I would be afraid to leave with a person like that, and also what if he thinks I will say something and kills me too."
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,Who are we to judge what is right or wrong? Can we not just let people make decisions and live with the consequences?
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
gay marriage is wrong,"I vote ""Wrong"". It goes against human nature and, as other fellow voters have mentioned, the definition of ""Marriage"".   And you can't exclude religion from this argument, because thats what happened when people don't have faith or belief in any religion. Religion is there to act as guidelines to what is right and what is wrong. Religion is a way of life. Without it, we're lost."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
evolution is better than creationism,Really? What if I my opponent has ACTUALLY been brainwashed and indoctrinated since birth? Would that make your arguments any weaker?
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
water bottles should not be banned,"can be recycled to make other things. like more water bottles. it also makes the water companys rich. theyre not expensive, its like 3 bucks for one of those big packs at shaws. that will keep you un-thirsty for a couple weeks for pocket change."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
christianity is better than christianity,"Christianity strives to promote better morals and ethics. What does atheism contribute? Nothing. To believe that one should follow the ways of Christ, what harm is there. Real or not, Christ is still a better example to follow than any atheist. For a ideology to be better than any human must really piss off those that fall way short of it."
creationism is better than evolution,"For us to understand God, is like your cat or dog trying to understand your income tax report!   Evolution and Creation go hand in hand!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I say lousy, if by lousy you mean unemployed, distant, detached, overworked, unavailable, lazy, unintelligent, boring, uneducated, and other non-criminal versions of a bad dad.   However, if pops is a drug dealer, murderer, rapist, etc... Be satisfied with being alive and not knowing the sperm donor."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"When the U.S. fought the Brits for their independence, the Brits wore a red uniform. Every time the Americans saw a British soldier, they would yell, ""The red coats are coming, the red coats are coming.""   If India ever tried to take over the U.S., Americans would be forced to yell, ""The red dots are coming, the red dots are coming."" ;)"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"wow! syona i m very much impressed by your views. from where did you get these unique datas,i kindly request you to submit more pts. like all these plz. don't mind my words syona, but all these special datas are accurate?reply me soon!"
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
parents should spank their children,yes because if they fear getting hit than they wont do it again
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Many people struggle with being fatherless. It is a challenge but it allows them to be tough and dependant on themselves. Being fatherless is hard but when it comes down to it, it is better to be fatherless than to have a lousy father. If you had a lousy father, they teach you the wrong things and don't allow you to expand."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would support the fact of being fatherless then having a lousy father. Fathers most likely are supposed to be the provider for the household and solve the problems that comes in hand because his like the alpha male but if your lousy then what point is it for you to have around. Kids look towards their father as an example of how to be a man and to have responsibility's over the actions they make. so why not be fatherless when having a lousy father is the same thing.
books are better than tv,"One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest, East of Eden, Nabokov's Lolita, 1984, Martian Chronicles - I could go on and on. For real. There's very little that beats the world described in books."
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
school uniform is a good idea,Good idea for separate student from other people for at least increase garment job. Why we use soldier uniform? For separate from civil. Why terrorist not use soldier uniform? For harmonious with civil and easy to attack enemy.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,I support pro choice if nothing else because it is one of the last bastions that free people hold out against the government for.
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I am personally against the abortion, but I believe in the right of choice. What matters to a pregnant mother what I think or what most of the people thinks about it. She must decide what to do with her child."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
books are better than tv,"Well, Books is better than T.V. because T.V. makes you eyes bad is kills imagination dead! Read 'Television' by Roald Dhal you'll know it all!!! :) :) :) :)"
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"i believe they are diffenrent ways of feeling happy and proud of what you do, i feel happy helping others that doesnt means i help every person in front of me, i try to do what i think is best and good to make somebody happy."
gay marriage is wrong,"The Marriage issue should be out of politicians and lawmakers. Marriages are for the Church to decide, Congress have no power to pass a legislation forcing religious institutions about marriage. Maybe, if the courts were to allow gay marriage, it would be alright since it is not a religious institution, it doesn't break the Separation between Church and State ruled by the Supreme Court."
parents should spank their children,I think spanking should be used if it will teach thee child in the long run but each child responds differently to different punishments while one child just telling them no or grounding them will work on another child it may take a spanking to teach them right and wrong.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
water bottles should not be banned,"Banning bottled water would hurt the economy because it would leave hundreds of people without jobs and the big corporations like Dasani and Nestle would loose millions of dollars. It would hurt the economy severely. Millions of Americans use and purchase water bottle everyday so, banning them would only hurt big corporations.   http://www.nestlewaterscorporate.com/bottled_water_things_to_know/"
porn is wrong,What do you see in porn?   -> sex   What is sex for?   -> baby making   why should you watch others make baby?   -> pleasure   what causes pleasure?   -> temptation   what do you do to control temptation?   -> then do it...   conclusion: Porn is in a situation where there is temptation to increase the population of the next generation... wow.
parents should not spank their children,"No because spanking might effects the relationship between the child and parents. And Children can pick up on the parents attitude acting violent. There are better ways to solve problems, for example using the other techniques."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
water bottles should be banned,"Water bottle usage, although maybe a leading corporate industry, is not worth making the environment worse than it already is. These bottles will not start to decompose for another 700 years."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should not be an option to discipline a child, parents have a lot other options before spanking. Its better to talk to them about what they did wrong and solve the problem in a proper way."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better than personal pursuit. The reason for this is that it is better to help others than just to think about yourself. We need to improve our community first before we think about ourselves. If everyone tried to take care of their community then there would be no dangerous places.
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
parents should spank their children,I agree but it has to be used as the last source and not used constantly and of course not to hard.
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I put my argument on the side saying ""yes"" but in reality it really depends in my opinion. If my husband killed someone in self-defense, I'd rather them kill the person than my husband die, but if he just killed someone for no reason I probably would turn him in because love may be strong but it can also be blind. I would not want to be married to a murderer because what if one day he decided to kill me?"
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes. Physical education, if taught and encouraged properly and approached with the right attitude, will be rewarding for both student and teacher."
evolution is better than creationism,"its simple, how would we be able to adapt to different enviroments. Over time we adapted to what suited us best otherwise why arn't we one skin colour, why are there so many types of animals"
parents should not spank their children,"It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Surely if we are worried about the feelings of unborn children within the first few months of pregnancy, than we should first be worried about protecting the rights of far more conscious animals, such as fully-developed primates.   If its isn't their feelings we are worried about, then I guess I am very confused about the pro-life point of view."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes."
christianity is better than christianity,"Well, as an active Pastafarian, I am disappointed at the lack of recognition of our religion. Along with Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Norse mythology, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.   But seeing as I am a theist, I must be on this side.   Don't you wish there was a sarcasm feature on the internet?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my husband in because that's just plain wrong. I would explain ""How would you feel if somebody killed a family member or a close friend? Would you want them to be punished?"" So for doing a wrong and to become better you have to take your consequence's."
porn is not wrong,"Everyone has their own desires, and sure women are degraded by pornography but it's their choice to choose that career path. If they want to be in that business, it's their choice."
school uniform is a good idea,"If you want your kids to wear uniforms, go to a school that allows that. But don't go crying to me that your kids are underachieving, easily-distracted, derelicts that can't focus their attention for 5 minutes in class.   Maybe I'm exaggerating.   But my message is clear. Uniforms are here to prevent problems that not wearing uniforms would cause."
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
school uniform is a good idea,They prepare people for the clothes they may have to wear later on in life. They ensure that no unsuitable clothing is worn.
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
school uniform is a good idea,I think that such a policy is a good idea. Uniforms make students equal on an economic level This can be prevent envy and jealousy.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"In Nebraska, it's legal to have an abortion by killing the baby while it's coming out of the womb. How can you argue against that?"
atheism is better than christianity,christians are also fun to lawl at because they waste half of their sunday going to church. What a waste!!!! HAHAHA
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
books are better than tv,"Books are better than TV because books have each and every detail briefly . we get to read books like story books , fairy tales, ghost stories etc these books help us in bringing imaginary power in us . In TV only some points are explained and sometimes we cant remember it easily but in books if we forget anything we can now and then read it .At last I only want to tell that books are much and much better than TV ."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"no way! screw off! China will dominate, if not, US will. india will never get the chance to ruin the world!"
porn is not wrong,"NO. I am a female who watches porn.   It does not bother me if my boyfriend watches porn.   I think its natural for people to have sexual desires.   If people feel uncomfortable with the idea, just don't watch it.   But, people who love porn can watch all the videos they want and I see no wrong with that."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I really dont have an exact yes or no answer to this question depending on the situation. If It really got all out of hand and the police new it was my man that did it and they got all the evidence and witnesses that prove it was him that convicted the crime then yes I would turn him in. If they know its him then its just a matter of time.
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
India has the potential to lead the world,how can Indians say that india don not have the potential to lead the world???????????????   India is the heaven in the Earth and only India have the potential to lead the world..........   Believe yourself and hardwork.............   surely INDIA WILL BECOME POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD other-than any country!!!!!!!!!!!!   JAI HIND
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
parents should not spank their children,"no, spanking is not the solution to your problems...   u should talk to the kid with love and understanding, for them to be able to understand they are doing wrong.."
school uniform is a bad idea,"When yr out of college or High School or whatever, like in a office. You have to choose yr own clothing."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No. I wouldn't be able to turn them in. If you truly love someone you would do anything to help them. Especially if it was an accident.   Though, if he killed some one just because he felt like killing somone it may be a little different, because I wouldnt want him to go nuts and kill me too."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,i think we should have gym because kids get FAT and tubby! its not ok for kids to get fat and tubby!!!!!
creationism is better than evolution,"In the 21'st century, we have come to a point where the only way for us to evolve is to start to create. Creation is evolution just with more responsibility placed on mankind."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal pursuit its better, because its your job to decide what you want to do with your life. Your not always going to have someone by your side telling you whats right or wrong. Its all on you of reaching their goals. Its also a good thing to help other reach their succeed their goals."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"it is simply too tiring. simply. so that is the reason why physical education should not be compulsory.The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I rather have a lousy father than not have one at all, because a father is one of the most wonderful things it could happen to you. At least a lousy father would be there when you need someone. You can count on your father on anything. and i guess lousy fathers are like that because they love their child, and they want their son or doughter to be as perfect as posible."
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Yes! and yes and yes and definately a god damn bloody yes.   Lack of physical education is the reason why your aunt or uncle is in hospital.   Lack of physical education is the reason why millions of people are fat.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you cannot sleep properly at times.   Lack of physical education is the reason why you are not having super great sex with your girlfriend(s)
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
books are better than tv,Have any of you noticed that those who are against books are the ones who have terrible arguments. Like that person who just said TV is awesome with many exclamation marks and in capitals. That clearly proves that books are much better than TV because it TV rots the brain.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I argue for the rights of the child, who deserves the same right to life as the mother"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No way,   That's even better than a prenup :)   her: ""I'm leaving you and taking half your shit.""   me: ""Hope you like prison b*^#h"""
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
parents should spank their children,"I think that children should get spanked once in a while. I got spanked when I was little but I could definitely say that I did learn lessons. Don't spank your kids though with whatever you find, you don't want to kill them !!"
India does not have the potential to lead the world,i dont think soooo even as an indian citizen.........because of soo much unemployment i dont think the gdp of india will increase in the next 5 years....... they dont even have enough funds to feed all the poor..how can we even imagine them to lead the world...........
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,this does not even make sense no one country should lead the world we all started together and thats the way it should end and everyone has there ways this is just not logical at all
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"there isnt an excuse in the world to kill a fetus, a baby, a child, anyone.   if the woman was raped, it most certainly is Not the baby's fault. the woman with the baby whoever they are should speak For the baby, and know that the baby would want to live."
christianity is better than christianity,This is the most idiotic debate i have ever seen. HOW you tell me please hoe did we get so perfect were the earth and sun and moon is in the right spot and are bodys function perfectly are hands made distinctively. Cause we were made after his own image.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""

Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
atheism is better than christianity,"INTELLIGENT DESIGN THEORY IS MERELY CHRISTIANITY MASQUERADING AS SCIENCE, BUT THERE IS NO REAL SCIENCE BEHIND INTELLIGENT DESIGN."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
gay marriage is fine,"You cannot choose someone's lifestyle because you don't agree with it. You cannot call someone's lifestyle a ""choice"" when you are not that person and know that homosexuality was not a ""choice."""
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity is perhaps the most vile ideal to poison the minds of men. It's uses, motives, and fictional stories are quite plainly immoral.   (http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html)   (http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/whynotchristian.html)   (http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/ 3956.Christopher_Hitchens)"

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Love is much greater then any mistake. I know things happen but my wife will be able to confide in me no matter what goes wrong.

India has the potential to lead the world,"I believe that India is fast emerging as a hub for international trade and investment. India has provided a huge opportunity to enhance trade and investments in sectors such as mechanical and electrical engineering, food processing, automotive, tourism and banking among others. Almost every multinational company is focusing on India."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
creationism is better than evolution,I can prove to you that humans have not evolved since the beginning of recorded history
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
porn is not wrong,"Whoever said porn degrades women is idiotic. #1 They get compensated well, #2 they CHOSE to do it, #3 some girls actually like what they do, #4 without sex and porn, you may not have been born. Sex = life. =)"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,It is better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because you will have someone there to learn mistakes from and to give you motivation to do better. You'll never have that question in your mind of what it would've been like to have a father.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,I believe it is more important to have personal pursuit because if you even want to begin to help others you have to help yourself. It's not bad to want to help the common good but if you're always putting other people before yourself you may start to forget about your own needs and wants in life. But I do think that you can have a balance of both.
parents should spank their children,spanking is your decision kids can be bad but use it as a last resort
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"In a perfect world, everyone would not be selfish and would use their talents and abilities for the good of humanity, but we don't live in a perfect world nor will we ever. I think that everyone has a God-given talent that can be used to better the world. If everyone put a little effort into improving society, our life would run a lot smoother. You can also combine the two if advancing the common good doesnt sound appealing to you. Their are plenty of jobs that do just that."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
books are better than tv,1. Books don't ruin your eyes like TV. does.   2. Books allow your brain to imagine rather than doing it for you.   3. Reading books a lot can help you with spelling.   4. Reading books a lot can help you write better.   5. Reading books teaches you to read. Watching TV. doesn't

India does not have the potential to lead the world,Hahaha really?   This debate is ridiculous.   NO they don't.   They're practically a 3rd world country.
parents should not spank their children,"I don't think anybody would have liked to get spanked by there parents therefore , spanking shouldn't be an Option"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It really depends on what had happened, she would have to tell me the story and I would have to be able to sympathize with her and understand why she did what she did. If I truly felt that she was remorseful for what she did and I can sympathize with her about why she committed murder than maybe I could forgive her and not turn her in."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
creationism is better than evolution,"now tell me this evolution beleivers... how is it that evolution is true, and man kind is currently not evolving? and how is it (for those of you whom HAVE religion), that adam and eve were the first of the human race to walk on this very planet, the 'parents' of mankind? in arabic makind is 'bani adam' which literally means the tribe of adam..."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Abortion is ok because a fetus isn't a human. To be human, you must have both the following criteria (IMO)   You must be human (homosapien)   You must be able to contribute to society.   By this criterium, a fetus cannot be considered human, and therefore, abortion is not murder."
school uniform is a bad idea,"In comparison to civil dress, school uniforms prove to be futile and wasteful once the child is out of school."
books are better than tv,"TV is terrible. Except for Spongebob maybe. That's an alright show. Still, the majority of television is awful. So I'd have to say books based on that."
school uniform is a bad idea,it dose not show kids expressions and unforms dose not show is it
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It would be better to have a lousy father than to not a have a father at all. If you were to grow up with out a father you would always have that empty void feeling about it. And if your father is lousy it helps you strive to be better than him. It could also cause you to start being responsible faster because the father isn't taking care of business. Like me and my brother, my father is lousy but I'm still happy i know who he is. Just because i cant imagine wondering about it."
gay marriage is wrong,"Gay marriage is wrong. God made man and a woman to populate the earth. How can human species survive if they are only attracted to their same sex? Obviously, not."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
water bottles should be banned,Profits HA you want money or do you want to live Longer well without water have fun with that

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's an interesting thought for those of you who believe ""life"" begins at conception rather than birth... America grants citizenship to people ""born"" in the United States, but not to those conceived here.   Perhaps if you truly believe life begins at conception and that is a full person with rights to life, then we should also grant citizenship to that person, no?"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
parents should not spank their children,I disagree on the parents use spaking as an option to dicipline because the childrens are not going to be scare of what their parents are going to them and also because if you do that to your childrens are learning what their parents show them and also because that is not going to help that much the childrens
parents should spank their children,spanking can be sometimes good for the child to understand but not to the point where you can hurt and should not be used repeatedly
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"A personal pursuit is a better endeavor because you are fulfilling something within yourself. It is important to help others but there is a time to do so. Achieving a personal goal is a journey to fulfillment where one is truly happy. Before helping others you must remember about yourself, but you must not forget about those who are really in need."
books are better than tv,"While there are benifits to TV, i think books are better overal for learning as they require more focus."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
books are better than tv,books make you more intelligent. they can also say what people are thinking.
gay marriage is fine,Dosen't it say in the declaration of independence that we have the right to life liberty and the purist of happiness
tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I think that personal pursuit is better because i think that helping yourself before others is natural. I think that no matter what you do everything comes back you even if your helping others, because you dont want your life to be out of whack helping others."
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
tv is better than books,GO TV!!!!!! GO TV!!!!   TV will win hopefully LOL   TV is great to watch anything
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"It is better to have a lousy father because; when it comes to a father he is not only a provider but also a protector.   Almost every father is lousy, because they go out and work without giving much time to their children. Some children grow up without a father thinking that they had a father, in any shape or form."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
school uniform is a good idea,"I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.   But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic."
christianity is better than christianity,"Science attests to the existence of God, its only a question of which one at this point."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe that personal pursuit is better because in order to help others you have to help yoursel first. I also think that if you are happy with yourself and enjoy helping others you have the confidence and strength to help the outside world while satisfying yourself. For example, someone wants to succeed in life and through that he achieves his goals, whenever he is already succesful and with money he decides to help others."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has the potential to lead because it has the second largest man power n third largest army in the world n it is a country full of hopes n aspirations n for Indians nothing is impossible, n we r proud to be Indians n we will lead the world n be the king of the world in every manner. even 34% scientists in NASA are Indians."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Benefiting yourself is always an assessable task but having a chance to better the common good only comes around once in a life time. You have to take into consideration that you can improve the lives or situations of the masses or just yourself. I believe that by advancing the common good you spread the wealth of nobility to others as well as yourself and that is the greatest benefit of all.
porn is not wrong,"All humans have sexual desires. Sometimes, one just isn't in the mood for sex, and would like simple release. Pornography facilitates this."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
school uniform is a bad idea,Bad. I'm too lazy to explain why so take my word for it. I had to wear one for 4 years at school.
gay marriage is wrong,Gay people are making a terrible mistake. I think they are living the life right now with not having to commit to anything. If it was like that for normal marriage life would be a whole lot better.
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
porn is wrong,Porn is wrong..   If people Watch it... We will want to do a free sex... Free Sex will bring a disease especially HIV...   In Morallity it is wrong...
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe personal persuit. Human nature is for someone to persue things for themselves, not for others."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I would rather be fatherless than have a father that is lousy and does absoultly nothing. Most kids look up to their dads, but if they aren't good fathers, then why have them around. It just means that the kid will want to be lousy like his dad. Besides, you can't miss what you never had."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
physical education should be mandatory in schools,yes! our kids are so out of shape for the most part and eat too much junk
christianity is better than christianity,"why are we fighting, right now those scientologists are running rampant. We need to come together to fight them"
school uniform is a good idea,Who in their right mind wants to get rid of Catholic school girl outfits?
gay marriage is wrong,"Is marriage really just about ""love?"" I think not. It's about societal norms. It's about legal rights. It's about families. It's about generations. It's about example. It's about commitment. It's about tax breaks. It's about parental roles. If it were just about ""love"" then I could marry my dog and two kids at the local middle-school could get married as well. It's not only about love."
tv is better than books,You can watch TV in one sitting where as a book takes all day to read. So no physical exercise will get done reading books. Exercise shows on TV make you move. SO TV IS WAY BETTER THEN BOOKS!!!!!!!
parents should spank their children,Humans have been raised for thousands of years with not near as much resentment towards spanking and today's kids are the unruliest there are...   There's a trend...   (I do admit it's not purely spanking that's the cause but it's a small part of the bigger picture)
creationism is better than evolution,"Was there a historical record of man evolving?   dang, I must have missed it"
school uniform is a good idea,"I believe that the school uniform is a good idea because school uniform improve student attendance and student doesn't spend a lot of time to choosing and buying clothes for school, espeacilly girls. That is why they can use more time to study."
creationism is better than evolution,"That's interesting because the burden of proof rests on you to prove that we are still evolving.   I don't know about anyone else but I haven't noticed mankind change form for a few thousand years....   Another question- With this whole ""big bang"" theory. It seems like everything should have blown apart in a big bang and not come together."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
gay marriage is wrong,"The real issue is - why is the government involved in this issue at all? We take a personal, religious institution and regulate it, then the government comes back and wants to redefine it.   It should not be a political issue, because my personal, religious things should be separate from government regulation.   Marriage and the government should not mix. That solves the ""problem""."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Our animal insctinc is survival, its what makes us flinch wen we see something coming at ous it makes us react faster, our mental state changes. In todays post modern world, our instinc have change into keep obtaining money to keep ous alive. times change but our desire to survive above other is still thier."

you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say that most likely I would turn my husband in because a murderer is not who I wanted to marry. And also, if my husband killed someone else, who knows if his next attack will be on me. Obviously he is messed up in the head if he committed murder and thats not who I want to spend the rest of my life with."
India has the potential to lead the world,i think there is no doubt on this that India has power to lead the world.
gay marriage is fine,This is not a commonly known fact - Can you point me to a reference?   Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which case gay marriage may help reduce the problem.
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
christianity is better than christianity,"I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHRISTIANITY NOR ATHEISM. I AM A MUSLIM, THATS THE BEST RELIGION..."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Fathers can sometimes be lousy, but it is through their mistakes that we can learn to become better parents. Dads are meant to be that icon that motivates you to surpass them. You can't have a healthy family without having two parents to guide you in life. No matter what, dads are the people you look up the most, no matter how tall you've grown."
parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband committed murder I wouldn't turn them in because I know he must have had a good reason to do it. Everybody makes mistakes in this world and this would be a wrong decision he took. I love him and I feel that in love we should be by your partner throught the thick and thin no matter what. I wouldn't want my husband to be in jail.
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"No I would not turn in my spouse because when you get married you promise to be there for eachother through good or through worse and I would anything to help her but, don't get me wrong though if my spouse were to get caught I will not go down with her because most likley I would have a family to take care of and would not leave them for anything."
porn is wrong,"Are you a Christian...or anything? If not, than hey who's to stop you! For the record, yeah it's wrong. Unfortunately, it's impossible to argue that, if you and the opposing individual refuse to share the same beliefs. Hence, my first point."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."

gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn my spouse in if they committed murder. I would not want my wife to turn on me and kill me. If I found out that she had killed someone I would be gone. You can't love a person if they are not the person that you fell in love with. And I wouldn't fall in love with a murderer.
school uniform is a bad idea,"I have always maintained that it is a good idea to wear a uniform to school. Why not? because it looks very nice and respectful. This shows the status of schools and students. I always liked to wear a uniform at my school, I felt like a schoolgirl, and brought up."
parents should spank their children,"After I was spanked, I never did the same thing twice.. So therefore I would spank my kids, out of love, and on the butt."
gay marriage is wrong,"Guys AND Girls were made for a reason. This reason is not so they can pair up with the same sex. It is so that they can pair up with opposite genders. Opposites Attract, Every where, wether its in magnets, electricity, atoms, or humans. Besides, it just doesnt work with two guys (genitals), thats why there are female reproductive systems and male reproductive systems. They only work together, so there is only one way to reproduce.. Guy AND Girl!"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"There is scientific evidence that shows having a mother and a father is the healthiest way for a child to progress physically and mentally.   So a lousy father is better than none.(that is of course assuming that he is not abusive in any way)   Also, people change. Who says that he will be lousy forever. There are family therapy sessions you can attend to help."
atheism is better than christianity,"If god loves everyone then y does he hate gays and the bible is just a book, have you ever wondered that the one cardinal who translated it changed some things to make ""god"" look good"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"of cz phys ed must be taught but mustn""t b compulsory coz sme of us are not fit 2 du the extensive exersises perfomed"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
school uniform is a bad idea,Another reason for wearing a school uniform is good is that the uniform will always be decent. It will cover every part of the body that the school doesnt want the children to show and the students would not be cauntious about what they are wearing.
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
tv is better than books,TV is important for communication. This is to cross the charector limit.
gay marriage is fine,"First of all, gays have the fundamental right of equal happiness. Second of all, they are still part of society. Third of all, the government would have a better image if we allow the third gender to have the equal right of marriage. Also, it only proves that racism, sexism and hatred is non existent."

personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because its easier to help yourself then it is to help others. Plus not all people want to be helped. A persons' need is more important then others need, you need to your personal pursuits first. In this world you have to fight for what you want."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
parents should not spank their children,Parents shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline it just makes the child get mad than to see what they did wrong.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It really depends the situation; if a girl/woman gets raped, it's not fair that she has to keep the child. If a young teen has unprotected sex and ends up with a child, that's her fault for not being prepared."
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I think advancing the common good is better, because it will eventually come back to you anyways. If you better the world somehow, it will also help you out in some way. Whether it is money, fame or just karma."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
parents should not spank their children,"A parent shouldn't use spanking as an option to discipline a child because they might grow up traumatized and they might feel unloved since they would get spanked a lot, that will cause a low self of esteem. Also spanking shouldn't be an option because at that moment the parent would be full with anger and they wouldn't be thinking logically."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,Well I'm kind of in the middle because i always think that helping people is a good thing and a way that you can get your blessings. But also sometime you have too help yourself be successful and make sure you can survive and provide. So to a certain extent it is good to help others but then its all about you.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this

tv is better than books,"Unless the brain is used no human being can understand any medium. Be it TV or books. By watching the television people can create a make believe situation and think. ""What if they would go left? They would be SAVED, wouldn't they?"" Even viewing tv requires brains. And moreover we can watch television in the dark. But to read a book you need the lights on. Which also wastes electricity."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I really don't know because i think it depends on who she murdered and how it happened. If it was self defense then no I wouldn't tell the police, but if she just went crazy and murdered someone then yes i would tell the police."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I thinks its better if you be a fatherless than a lousy father because your lousy father would give you bad influence. Maybe you might follow your father as he is. But if your a fatherless is gonna be ok but not good either because you might not like being a fatherless. As long as you a lousy father or fatherless so they can encourage you to success in life and also help you correct your msitake that you had made.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
porn is wrong,"Adrian Peterson? Are you my husband, seriously? If not then I'm sorry. Your name, along with your speech, have me convinced you are. Good one BTW."
parents should not spank their children,"Spanking should never be the answer. Spanking should be the LAST option.   Yes, I agree that if it gets to a certain point you can lightly spank the kid, but never to the point where you're beating the kid."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
evolution is better than creationism,Evolution is a science. All the refutes I have seen (which I will rebuttal after this) have nothing to do with science. Their claims are theological claims. Lets first know what science is. Science is known through the scientific method. The scientific method deals only with the natural world. Creationism tries to sneak the supernatural as a scientific explanation. This is called pseudo-science.
porn is not wrong,No porn is not wrong. Mabye some people thing it is wrong but really it is not. Come if their was no porn and sex how would we have babies.
school uniform is a good idea,"i think school uniform is really good idea!Yes i agree that a lot of pupils don't like it, but however it have a lot of benefits. As previous people said children at first don't have to think about what to wear!because it is very big problem for teenagers."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"This is planet Earth, shared by billions, not just you. If given the opportunity to advance the human race, every person alive should take it; choosing personal gain over advancing the common good is selfish. There's no other way around it. I don't want ot hear ""it's human nature to be selfish"" or any other lame excuse. The point is we all live together, and if your too greedy and self-centered to care about your surroundings and the individuals around you, your merely taking up space."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,it's the woman's choice. you cannot control her. (anyway how do u know she just wouldn't kill herself in attempt to kill her baby as well?)
school uniform is a good idea,"I actually believe that uniforms are good and in schools should be school uniforms. In this situation you don't have to constantly worry about what you're gonna wear every morning. And for it time you will be do any important thing which help to you in lessons. Yes, it might be a little boring putting on the same set of clothes but it's less costly this way, and you do not have to go on shopping trips so regularly."
parents should spank their children,I believe that spanking you child because it shows then that what they did was wrong and if they dont want the feeling of a but woppen then they wont make the same mistake twice.
parents should spank their children,It's ok for the parent to spank the child as long as it's not often or they don't use other things like a belt.
school uniform is a bad idea,I think that school uniform is a bad idea because its too much work to clean the uniform and its a pain if you have to put on a lot of stuff in the mmorning
school uniform is a bad idea,"Only in private schools and even there I would only agree with it because its a voluntary association. You see I think school uniforms supress free speech, and take away from a youth's individuality."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There are tons of ways to not get pregnant. There are condoms (99% effective) for men and women, there are morning-after pills (75% effective), the patch, pill, and other forms of ways not to get pregnant. It's the woman's fault that she didn't do it.   And maybe instead of Pro-choice vs. Pro-life, they (i don't know who ""they"" is) should have pro-life, but with exceptions (i.e. women that get raped) so that it's fair all-around."
gay marriage is fine,one reason is just because so many more people agree with this side now
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
gay marriage is wrong,"From a religious standpoint gay marriage isn't even possible. Let along right. But everyone isn't religious or adheres to specific religious guidance.   Marriage is defined as between a woman and a man. So the word ""marriage"" may be misused in this case. Civil unions, well that's a different matter."
porn is not wrong,I don't feel degraded by porn. You don't like it? Don't watch it. There are more importhant jobs in life than to be my personal morality police.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"I dont want to say i officially have a position, but i want someone on the other side to answer this because i honestly just dont know:   if a 14 year old is raped (which, we have established, happens), and she then gets pregnant, but because she is 14, she will die if she has the baby, what is the pro life decision? is it then pro-life to have an abortion?   i just dont know and i want an answer from someone on the other side"
creationism is better than evolution,"I am a nurse and the more I studied biology, the more I was in awe of the miracle of our bodies. Every tiny cell has it's own design that is even more complex than a computer. When you look at a computer do you question that there had to be a creator? Or do you need proof that this highly organized machine came to be about by a mere accident or order of circumstances? Evolutionists need more faith than Creationists."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,because today lots of students are playing computer games when the school finish. and than students can't get good health and also students can get serious dieases like cancer because of electromagnetic waves. this is true because computer have lots of electromagnetic waves.
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
parents should not spank their children,People should not hit there kids because the kid will think it is OK to hit someone else back like for an example at school they will end up fighting and abusive to others.

atheism is better than christianity,Did i also mention that christianity condones slavery? If jot I'm sorry
India has the potential to lead the world,"INDIA has the potential to lead the world.   Full of natural resources, filled with highly spiritual people and country with diverse tounges and races. India has th potential to flourish.   Well, I cannot ignore the fact that Indian government seems pretty corrupt and poverty still exists.   But hey, China is communist, poverty is also seen in China..   So why not INDIA?   INDIA DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD THE WORLD"
porn is wrong,"This not only degrades morality, it also affects how women are treated in society today. This is against women empowerment in a sense that women are viewed merely as sex toys. Which at the end of the day affects how men perceive women which will in turn lead to a lot of disrespect and false perception.   Now, how about crime rates? Murders, Rape, and Sexual Abuse. According to studies, all these people who committed these grave crimes all had one thing in common: PORN."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india can speak english better than orginal english man..britishers and americans speech includes a lot of grammatical mistakes ..so who is better....indians !!!! ""truth is stranger than fiction""......."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife was to commit murder and told me about it. I wouldnt turn her in because if you really love her then you would have her back through anything good or bad.
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
porn is not wrong,"porn is not wrong unless its sick porn eg child,animal or rape but the other pornography is ok aslong as its viewed in a discreet manner."
porn is wrong,"Porn is Wrong.   mainly because they are Not   Doing it Right.   it should be Hi Def.   in three years, it will   be in 3-D."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I feel like a personal pursuit is better. You can't help others around you if you can't help yourself. If your personal pursuit is to make money for the needy or the common good, then it starts with you and your desire to make that money. A personal pursuit isn't always about money but it can also about happiness, love, and success."
christianity is better than christianity,I am a Christian for I believe there is a just God who will do ultimate justice for the good and bad deeds done here on earth.
atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"After watching many episodes of COPS and Cold Case Files; the individual that is always involved with the murderer and or is an acomplice is always caught. I dont want to be the acomplice and be caught. Plus, if my spouse killed someone, she would be too crazy for me so therefore I would break up with her."
evolution is better than creationism,You lost me--- 99% of what you say speaks IN FAVOR of evolution and AGAINST creationism   --- At most you point out that science doesn't have all the answers (no scientist would try to counter you on that one) and that there may easily be halfway point between faith/science where evolution and creationism can co-exist (a great many liberal theologians and even agnostics would have no real problem with that idea)
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-lifers want live babies so they can grow up to be dead soldiers, ironic eh?   Women are people too, and it should be their choice to what they bring into the world."
water bottles should be banned,The other side is only posting song lyrics! That has nothing to do with water!
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"HECK YES, I would turn her in with the QUICKNESS because if she did something like that then she is a little Crazy, loCo,insane in the brain, and Im not Trying to be her next victim. A murder is a murder and its illegal and not right."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Well, this is not an easy question to answer because both are kind of the same to me. But i would have to say fatherless because i'd rather have no man in my life than have somebody that isn't concerned about your life at all. To me that kind of is like being fatherless. I can always find another father figure or not even as much as a father figure, more like a male role model."
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,I would turn him in becasue it is wrong for any reason to kill someone. If he can kill one person what says that he will not kill me? Everyone wants to know what happened to their loved ones and that would give them the peace that the person that did it was paying for what he did. Love is not worth the risk of you getting caught for not telling what you know.
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
parents should spank their children,"I believe so, it should be used as a last resort at least because I being a sibling of three, was spanked along with my sister and turned out to be disciplined and on the other hand our youngest sister has never been spanked and she tends to make more mistakes even now that shes 10 than we did."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
water bottles should be banned,"It's costly, wasteful and distracts from the brass ring of public health: the construction and maintenance of safe municipal water systems."
parents should not spank their children,"does this make sense: you steal a candy bar from school then your parents steal your favorite toy. you stole something and were disciplined by getting something stolen. hm. same thing applies to this. you hit somebody then you get hit. you get told not to hit somebody, then told not to hit, then hit by the saame person"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"If someone is raped and ends up pregnant, they should have the choice to get an abortion or not. If people are being irresponsible and have unprotected sex, they should be held accountable for their actions. Have the baby and put them up for adoption. Otherwise people are going to abuse their power to chose and will be killing babies because they are too lazy or ignorant to use protection."
parents should not spank their children,Children should not be spanked because they should be treated as equals lol I wouldn't want my child to hit me.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Here's a story for you from a few years back. A nine year old girl living in poverty in South America was raped by her step dad, and got pregnant with twins. Her family knew that she would die in childbirth, but she was not allowed to get an abortion because they were devout catholics. Both her and her two children died. That's three lives lost. One of those lives actually knew what life was."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
water bottles should be banned,A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
parents should spank their children,"I have been spanked once in a while for worse deeds. I think it did more good than harm to be honest. It's like touching fire to be honest, but a lot of it depends on parents and kids. It may do its job it may not, but abuse is never good."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think it's better to have a lousy father than to be fatherless because, growing up without a father can be hard for some kids. For example, there are some children that need dads to teach them right from wrong, but as long as you have a father no matter how lousy he is, at least you have somebody their to support your decisions and encourage you."
creationism is better than evolution,"Oops, I meant to say creationist version of evolution. My apologies."
porn is not wrong,"Is porn wrong? Absolutley not!! Everyone has their own definition of morality. If you don't believe in it then don't look at it. The people who participate in it do it because they want to and they probably enjoy it. Whether your the person watching porn or participating in it, porn is a choice not a case of right or wrong."
creationism is better than evolution,Just because you think your opponent has been brainwashed one way or the other does not make your argument any stronger
porn is not wrong,"Porn is anything but wrong in most cases. Sometimes it's in very bad taste, but when it's giving equal gratification, etc. to all parties, there's nothing wrong, and I could even consider it an art form in some respects."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my wife confided in me than I wouldn't betray her trust. She trusted me to support and help her and I would. I would be extremely angry and maybe even divorce her depending on what type of murder whether it be like a self defence murder or she just thought it would be fun.
water bottles should be banned,"FISH ARE DROWNING, THE FISH ARE DROWNING.   Don't worryz potato U is not alone"
gay marriage is wrong,"gays are overrated. it is another ""look at me"" stunt. i think gays are the product of overly protective parents, abuse, or liberal wakoness (it should be a disease).   if you gays would stop calling attention to yourselves, nobody would really care what you do."
tv is better than books,I like tv tv is cool and tv is great tv is like the baby in my womb it is like the sun in the morning is is like the cool brisk air on your first day of school it is like the day you get diegnosedca with cancer it is like the day when you find out that you are lesbian it is like the day that you realize you just wasted your time reading this
parents should spank their children,After a spanking I made sure I never did it again to avoid being punished because the second time is always worst because you were told not to already.
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction."
gay marriage is wrong,"Same sex marrage can couse a lot of contriverse, it puts peoples life at risk in extrem cases gay marrage has caused so much trouble pepole has resulted in murder and sucied"
gay marriage is wrong,Of course its wrong.   Why do you think Aids exists?
porn is wrong,"Biblically, yes it is wrong. But aside from that, it can become an addiction that destroys lives just like drugs and alcohol. There is a reason why God tells us what to and what not to do."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think is better to have a lousy father than a fatherless because you can count on your father. No matter what your father is always going to be there for you in the good and bad times. If you don't have a father you don't really know what is right or wrong. If you don't have a father than you don't have nobody to count with or tell him your problems.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour."
India has the potential to lead the world,"Of course it has the potential, but right now the current religious tension between Muslims and Hindus would probably prevent this. I can't think of a leading nation that has had large scale internal conflict, it just doesn't work. To ""lead"" a country must have time and resources to worry about other countries and not itself."
tv is better than books,"tv is better than book dathu ihfej tijkjdrk xtklp09 guil09 sfjiiytg dh,lut457 p[];o;l"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
evolution is better than creationism,"You can actually see evolution happen. Fruit Flies are quite useful for this experiment since the breed, live, and die so quickly. You have to understand evolution happens because of mutations and they survive because those mutations have made it easier for the creature to survive then the others. ie. natural selection. Speciation is also an example of evolution... different species come about because they have adapted to a slightly different enviroment. If you look you can see evolution"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,what we are dealing with is indirect murder if a women decides to abort a child she just had killed a life that may have been a big contribution to society
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"To my knowledge people are able to change and make themselves better people. I would much rather have the hope that my father could be a good father, than know that I will never meet him. I would be too curious as to what kind of father he could of been."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Personal pursuit is better because people will be people and want to be the best they can be and they want to be on the top. I know I want to be a ""winner"". Which by this happening it means that someone has to be a loser. This is personal pursuit."
India has the potential to lead the world,i just know that i am an Indian and i don't want to show my country down and the person who thinks that only by debate they will solve all the problems is wrong.   because they also know that how is there country.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not yours, nor anyone else's but the person involved's decision as to whether or not they want an abortion. This is such an overblown issue that people on both sides are being killed over it--it's ridiculous, and this needs to be left alone."
evolution is better than creationism,Life has been around for billions of years. Any failure to recreate it in a laboratory is purely because researchers have failed to devote those same billions of years trying. :)
porn is wrong,"Even though humans have sexual desires, it doesn't mean people you don't even know should watch you in pornographic content. Have sexual desires to the one you love."
atheism is better than christianity,"Eh, Atheism is a pretty cool guy. Makes my logic work and doesn't afraid of anything."
pro-choice is better than pro-life,While I personally do not think that abortion is right in any way shape or form. I do not believe the government has the right to make that decision. This is a decision to be made by the parents of the unborn child. NOT the government.
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!

pro-life is better than pro-choice,"There is only one situation in which I believe abortion is okay.   If a mother is incapable of giving birth to the child, and attempting it might kill her, I believe abortion is sad, but necessary.   Otherwise, no one has the right to kill a child, born or unborn."
atheism is better than christianity,"Why do you think we can't stand that question?   ALso you forgot all the other choices. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto, Judaism one and on"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"Honestly I believe that both are good there is no better in this arguement, because they both have that significance and they balance each other out. Personal pursuit because you improve your self for others and the enviorment around you, and then advancing the common good, because the goods help you and others improve. Life isn't perfect and we don't live in a perfect world and I don't expect it to be that way. These two are no different nor are they the same but they are significant."
gay marriage is fine,"A person should be free to do as he or she pleases. So in my opinion i really dont care much about gay marriage. I think it is in a way wrong but it doesn't really make that much of a big difference in society. So if you want to do it go ahead, it is your life, you make the decisions and choices. In some religions it is frowned upon, and i in a way frown upon it myself but dont let that influence your thoughts, just an opinion.   Life is what you want it to be"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"Its better to have a lousy father then not have one at all. Even if you have a lousy father you can still learn from him. You can tell yourself, ""I'm not going to be like him, I'm going to be better"". Even if you have a lousy father his going to love you no matter what."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words ""peace out assholes"
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,Yes I would. Nobody should get away with murder. Not that I would ever marrie sombody that would muder anyone. But that's beside the point.
school uniform is a bad idea,in my own personal opinion i think that school uniforms are not a good idea. adults are always telling us to be our selfes and to express who we really are. but we cant do that while wearing a stupid uniform to school!!
books are better than tv,"When you read a book you economize your money. I would like to mention that when you read a book, you do not need to buy any devices for reading and it is not necessary to use electricity."
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
tv is better than books,tv because only tv can bring u live news at books u can't find also it's educational
gay marriage is wrong,"Here is a reason why gay marriage could be wrong. If gay marriage is ok, then sister and brother marriage is ok too? Whats the difference? Oh wait, the sex is the difference, so SISTER and SISTER or BROTHER and BROTHER is ok... right?"
gay marriage is fine,"The Bible is not the origin of marriage. Marriage is found in almost every society, including those that were never touched by Christianity (or Judaism) and societies that preceded Christianity (and Judaism). The Bible can only be argued to be the origin of Christian marriage, and even that is difficult to prove."
water bottles should not be banned,Plastic is good light weight and a good for ditrabutions.
school uniform is a good idea,i believe they are good! in this way all the girls out there would not tease each other about fashion issues and plus it makes all students look and feel equal which increases their attention on school work since they dont have to think if they are wearing the most expensive cloth is school or if they look the coolest and the prettiest and so..:D
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"It's not a question of what YOU choose, it's a question of ""who decides""?   A woman is not your property. Nor is she the property of your church, the state, or any fetus. You have no right to command her servitude."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
gay marriage is fine,"If you do not like gay marriage and thing it is wrong then do not watch a gay couple make out.   Who are you to tell people that their veiws are incorrect and that they must change there feelings and that apparently they are wrong. Meanwhile, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but keep them to yourself. Do not try to change others based on your beliefs. It is selfish and takes away self rights."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,No I wouldn't tell on him because you never know what the reason might be for him to kill that person or it could have been for self defense for all we know and if the people come question me about anything I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.....he have my trust and I wouldn't let him down for no reason plus his secret is safe with me...
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
tv is better than books,nowadayz no one can liv wdout t.v... its common to watch t.v to all... so......... t.v ix beter than bookxx.... evrybdy vot for t.v....
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity conflicts with historical, archaeological, astronomical, biological, and many other forms of evidence. It denies rational & impartial common sense. Its teachings, written by an all powerful, all knowing, creator of the universe, are filled with contradictions. The arguments for Christianity just don't hold ground (bar one or two, and those are close). Atheism is not perfect, but it is the more logical position of the two."

school uniform is a good idea,"School uniform is a great idea, just because it makes impossible to hold the race for the fashion among pupils. let it be, one pupil is richer than another. rich can begin to show off in front of those who are poorer. this action will create a negative atmosphere in the school and can start row between both pupils.

water bottles should be banned,Bottled water should be only used for emergencies weather it be natural or human disaster.

water bottles should be banned,If you don't save the bottled water for an emergency you are not thinking about later you are thinking about now. You are drinking bottled water when you don't even need to. Bottle water and tap water is the same thing. Bottled water-has more waste and you have to pay for it. Tap water-has all the same things as bottled except no price and no waste
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.

atheism is better than christianity,"Religion in the past has caused many wars. It encourages racism , sexism and homophobia. It is something that gives us prejudice. It makes us hate one another. the time has come to put a stop to it."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."

pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The right to abortion should not be abused,   however I do believe that the choice should be provided.   NOBODY should make decisions of what an individual should do with her body."
porn is wrong,"Porn is definitely wrong. Porn is like an addiction to some people which is unhealthy and can lead to guilt and lust. An addiction to porn gives an unhealthy image of real sex. Porn promotes the fact that sex is totally based on pleasure, but it is actually based on love and affection also. Porn inspired numerous crimes that sometimes abuse the rights and virginity of many people."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would say yes to that because my wife would be a murderer. A murderer as a spouse is not the happiest life you can bring upon your self, knowing that everyday you would have so much stress about when the cops might break in and take you for affiliating with a crime scene or even if your own life is in danger. So from these reasons I would turn my spouse in."
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"If i say that advencing the commen good is better then a personal pursuit, then i would be lieing to myself. Everyone wants to do good in the world, but the problem with that is that their is too many bad things happening in the world, and what you do wont really make a difference. A personal persuit does more for you then trying to advance the commen good in a world where you see very little good."
tv is better than books,I love TV sooooooo much I can watch what ever i want and it is just the best.   with TV you can watch DVDs and play on playstations.

physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
gay marriage is fine,"EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, has the right to be miserable. I say let gay people know the joys of divorce, splitting of assets, custody, alimony, child support, the whole nine yards! In fact, make civil unions illegal; it makes it too easy to ""walk away"" from a relationship and encourages roomates to be ""couples"" to help a buddy out with benefits.Civil Unions, gone, Gay marraige, IN!"

you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Of course not! Absolutely not! Its something that happened, a mistake she made, and something she would definitely learn from. She was strong enough to tell me about it, something not a lot of people of would done. I'm pretty sure that's not easy for someone to do. Anyone else would of just kept to themselves and not tell anyone. If that were to ever happen, which I strongly doubt, I would definitely support her and be with her, no matter what!"

advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Both endeavors are better to be part of.But I as an individual I would like to advance the common good in this society to become unpetty with each other,to do things way better than they use to.Everyone in this world knows what they want to be. To be alone pursuing their dreams without the help of others, but some other will help the community to make it safe and better.To teach them what they are capable of,to beleive in themselfs that they can do as the things wealthy people does."
creationism is better than evolution,you cannot argue with the theory of creatoinism without getting into an extreamly dumb argument because anybody who beleives in creatoinism who is arguing with anyone who doesn't can say that god makes them think what they think   TAKE A HINT EVERYBODY THIS ARGUMENT IS MORONIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evolution is better than creationism,"I just don't see why it matters so much. We're here. Whoop-de-doo. So go on and live your life! If you want to believe in creationism, that's great, good for you. If you want to believe in evolutionism, same thing. I understand that the point of debate is to get the opponent to be convinced of your side and everything, but I just don't see why even debating it is neccisary.   Yet with all that said... Maybe it was a little hypocritical of me to post this. xD sorry."
gay marriage is wrong,HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG!!!! And I like this website but I don't find it very clear. This one is better : theworlddebating.com
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I say yes i would because no matter what nothing should make you kill any one, How are you going to kill someone and say it was a mistake.thats not right I dont care what nobody say if it was a mistake or what."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Killing someone is wrong no matter what. If you kill someone then i think you should do the right thing and turn yourself in, instead of waiting and wondering if someone else would turn you in. I know it would be difficult for me to turn in my wife, but they commited a horrible crime and they should pay for it. No one is above the law basicly."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"A growing embryo is considered human with the heartbeats initiating as early as 21st day of conception. So what if we cannot see the human form, it does have the potential to gain one.   Around 60% of abortions are performed on never married women. Why can't women give the baby up for adoption instead, even if she is raped. If your raped does that give you the right to got out and kill someone?"
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
christianity is better than christianity,"I love Jesus, so I am on this side ."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"It all depends on the severity of the kill. Ofcourse I would be empathetic towards my husband and want him free, but if I knew it was a malicious deed instead of self defense, or to defend his family or belongings I would probably leave and want nothong to do with it."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"I believe its best advancing towards the common good, but it doesn't really exist in this world. Mostly everyone is greedy, selfish, only would care about what they want, and not caring about what others would want. I believe everyone have small feeling towards the common good, but most people think they are important than anyone else in the whole world."
school uniform is a good idea,"According to the legacy educational resources, as fashion and trends change, students become more concerned with how they look and how they are perceived than they do with their academic success and achievement. The fashion of low rise jeans, bagging jeans, large trench coats, low cut shirts, and many others contribute to behavior problems and safety issues in the classrooms and in the hallways of schools today."
porn is not wrong,"I also find it telling that there's (as of now) seven votes for ""Porn is wrong"", but no one is willing (able?) to say why."
tv is better than books,tv is far superior due to its wider variety of thing to do and some people say that tv is incontinent but now you can watch tv on a smart phone witch is very convenient
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour."
water bottles should not be banned,God created water bottles for a reason. Because its good.
tv is better than books,"I learned English through TV.   Technically, I learned English through interaction with native speakers, but TV helped a lot more than books."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
school uniform is a bad idea,"I want to mention about wearing school uniform by high school students. it really makes no sense, it's the opposite, it just makes troubles within students and teachers relations. People aged 16-18 do not like any limits and sometimes limiting their freedom can become very serious problem followed by misunderstandings with the rest of people like parents and teachers. What about the controlling person's behavior - it must be done in the childhood, but not in the age when students become adults."
gay marriage is fine,"The ""who gives a crap"" button was your browser's back button. No one said you had to read this or vote on this or post a comment. It always baffles me to see people take the time to post a comment to say they don't care and everyone should stop talking about it. And another thing... people who post comments like mine make me sick."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"having some choices are good. but if you were in charge of all the choices in your life, the world would be in total chaos. i have always been pro life. and yes i do believe abortions should be illegal."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually you must know nothing about debate because what I am doing is called   ""Cross Examining""   and it is a very common tactic for exposing holes in an opponent's position   Also, Calling names never won a debate   You just can't answer my questions and I'm sure that is frustrating for you"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well, I take the perspective of my parents, because of the way they try to make me, my brother, the rest of the family and friends happy. they would spend all of there money and time on others than themselves."
evolution is better than creationism,"Evolution does occur and it has been documented, and studied. i invite you to read this: http://www.dinosauria.com/jdp/evol/lizard.html   and give you your thoughts. thanks"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn them in, because that is just crazy. Why would you ever kill somebody? Whoever would do that shall be punished for their crime, I don't care who you are to me, or what you mean to me I would definitely turn you in. If you help that person you may also go to jail for the crime as well, and I'm not going to jail."
creationism is better than evolution,"Ah yes, the classic peppered moth argument   I'm very familiar with it   I'm not sure how that proves the evolutionary process   Both moth colors have always been there   Its just a matter of which is it easier for their prey to see. That's not evolution-   That's a diet plan"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
parents should not spank their children,No child should get hit. There are different punishments you could give your child.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,i do not see any difference in killing an embroyo or a 40 year old person. Murder....is murder
school uniform is a good idea,1. It makes everyone equal - if children can wear what they want some children will teased and feel less equal to their peers around them vs. uniforms   2. Okay Look school is for learning not how you look and dress but maybe in some levels it matters and most people that go to schools that don't have uniforms take like about 1 hr just to find their pants or shirt I mean really?? When you have a uniform it takes less than 10 min just to take it out and put it on and
evolution is better than creationism,"""So why don't we have talking monkeys?""   That's a red herring.   Monkeys haven't evolved to talk(by talk im guessing you mean speech) because they are incapable of speech.   We on the other hand have evolved to talk.   Yes if we are descended from monkeys that doesn't stop monkeys from existing. We are a BRANCH on the tree of life. Not a dead end."
school uniform is a good idea,"Student victimization is likely to be lowered and fights and gang activity should be decreased, as there is less competition in regard to wearing the most fashionable clothing."
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think it is better to be fatherless because a lousy father cannot do anything for the family.Imagine a father who is alcoholic and beats your mother, then you have no meaning of having a father.He creates violance and terror in the house and you alawys feel ashame to call him a father. It is better to be fatherless than to have a father who gives you a hard time."
evolution is better than creationism,"How can that be? How were you brought up? Did you go to church? Sunday school? Pray before meals? Pray at school? Pray at night?   I remember at the age of 7 when I started questioning the Lord's Prayer in school. And God. It didn't make sense. So I stopped assuming God was real, and stopped saying the Lord's Prayer (thankfully my public school system stopped that practice).   So please tell me where I have been brainwashed."
atheism is better than christianity,No one has ever waged a war in the name of atheism.
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"with the cream layer quota system i don't prefer india to be leading the world in near future.....   yes india have the potential.. but corruption , this quota system ( not helpful to anyone) , and the main reason brain drain , don't specialy help india in the matter...."
tv is better than books,"A picture is worth a thousand words. TV lets you see and hear a story, or information. Imagine just reading about the recent disasters in Japan, Alabama and Missouri vs. seeing them and seeing interviews with survivors. Much more powerful and immediate on TV.   Books take too much time. TV gives the info much faster."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,What i dont undertsand is how people rationalize taking life it just doesnt make any sense... idc the situation in america how is killing leagal?
India has the potential to lead the world,"Yes, that is true if they continue to manage the positive and effective economic agenda. The first thing they need is to promote their economic policy to every investors and their tourism.   Regards,   Jerwin   ""consultant of poster printing san francisco"""
school uniform is a bad idea,Their gay! Actually this is just experience... I'm not gay but all the kids that are at my h-school are trying to get a petition signed for uniforms
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I try to see things in both ways, but even though sometimes Ill rather have a fatherless father I think having a lousy father would be better for me because in order to grow up and be ready for life you have to learn about life and if you do not have an image or person to look up life could become harder or not good."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
India has the potential to lead the world,"I am an American, and I am ashamed to admit ""Merica is rich due to slavery. India never had slavery and used to be rich until the British came and took everything away. We were left in a bad state, but started developing quickly. India is much more competitive in education than America and soon when everyone has education (which will happen in our lifetime) India will excel.   India has the potential."
tv is better than books,TV is better than books because the educational programs on TV are much more convenient and easy to understand. It is also easy to use for people who cannot see or hear. Books are also likely to be not updated with latest information about a certain topic while information from TV can be much more accurate and useful.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"The murders of a person is a crime that cant be overlook, to sleep next to a person who has commited this crime, and you knowing about makes you as much responsible as that persons."
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
creationism is better than evolution,although i voted for evolution... creation is easier to accept due to the fact that someone somewhere had to change aspects of the universe in order for us to exist.
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"No one ever mentions that the cause of over 99% of all abortions is unwanted pregnancies. If you prevent those, you prevent abortions. Wouldn't that make both sides happy?"
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"Being fatherless would ensure that the only heartaches you have from him are his absence, and not knowing what he was like. A lousy father could come in gain your trust, and walk out on you. Some would like to believe that just knowing your father is there is enough. To me having a father who does nothing is in itself an absence because either way he knows nothing about you, and you nothing about him. I would rather him never exist than come in and out of my life."
water bottles should not be banned,why would we ban a product that more than a million people buy when we are in the middle of a recession?
christianity is better than christianity,"One of the key component to Christianity is FAITH. Just you because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Gravity, for example, you can't see it, feel it, or hear it, but you know it's there. Faith to Christians is the same way."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"I HAVE TO SAY BUT JUST 1 WORD: CORRUPTION, CORRUPTION & CORRUPTION........"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"The only other choices are, adoption or keep it.   And I know many children get adopted but many don't   and it might be better off to just have an abortion to   let them suffer.   That's the chance they take, I guess. But who are we to   decide one womans pregnancy."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"It can be either way, but I think being fatherless is better than having a lousy father because sometimes they get on your nerve and they make you do things you don't wanna do. But hey that's the way fathers' are. You still have other peoples to look up to even though your dad is not around.   I'm used to being alone with my mom without my dad there because he passed away when I was six. So, I really don't have a favorite side."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,As a young boy you grow hoping and that they have a father figure in there life to be there when he is needed. The last thing they need is someone who lives with you and doesn't do anything to help you learn the ways of life and answer questions you may need to know for life. As a young man it is important that you have someone in your life to support you and push you to be successful in life.
school uniform is a bad idea,Students have the right way to feel and express but it's wrong it's the learning which makes us smart
books are better than tv,because its better for young kids that have to do school work and its healthier for their eyes. When kids need to do their homework they need to do more reading than watching tv. :-)
water bottles should not be banned,"Western Europe consumes almost 50% of the world's bottled water. Many claim that this is due to European culture, since the continent has had very polluted waters due to agriculture and industry dating back to the Industrial Revolution. The water bottles they buy help us."
India has the potential to lead the world,"india is bound by water on 3 sides, some thing which most other nations do not have. this is a big advantage for india"
evolution is better than creationism,"Actually, we are evolving. Look this one up; every generation our small toe is becoming increasingly smaller. Eventually, we'll end up losing it.   I know it's a small, simple, seemingly useless appendage and who really cares about it, but it is evolution at work."
school uniform is a bad idea,i thik thier bad because i think ushould be free with out nobody telling u wat to do
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
evolution is better than creationism,"Why is this up for debate? I understand that people have religious beliefs and stuff, and thats fine by me people should be able to do what they without being judged on every move they make, but it's scientifically proven that the evolution is correct. What's your point?"
books are better than tv,"Television is almost the exact same thing as books, the only difference is, you actually have to move your eyes for books"
personal persuits are better than advancing the common good,"I believe a personal pursuit is better for me because I'm more of a selfish person. I rather do something that is going to better my life, but every once in a while I do have my giving moments, so I guess it depends on how I am feeling. Right now I am going to go for the personal pursuit."
school uniform is a bad idea,Very Very bad!!   Though I Know im going to miss the days to wear a uniform!!   So When IN a student I hate wearing uniforms   And   When Im a college student I MISS wearing their Uniform!!:d
water bottles should be banned,"There are direct links to drinking bottled water and certain types of disease, even cancer."
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Everybody has goals and things that they want to accomplish in life. However, a person that helps the community and puts other people in front of themselves will most surely live a better life. If you really think about it, advancing the common good is basically a win-win situation. You get the support of other people, and you can also get recognition for yourself as a reward for your help."
school uniform is a bad idea,i think we should not wear school cloths because their so weird and the good reason why is that no more bulling and also THERE DUMB STUPID AND GAY
school uniform is a good idea,"school uniform does no harm to students life emotions now as for the point of expressing oneself imagine one bully wearing shirt,tie,pant all neatly ironed and well polished shoes wont he look good.remember dressing sense also is a part of ur interveiw"
atheism is better than christianity,"No one ever said science is PERFECT. That's the difference between Religion and Science, Science admits it doesn't have all the answers while Religion is SO dogmatic enough to not even recognise FACTS. And even just what TRUTH really stands for."
atheism is better than christianity,"Even if there was a valid proof for the existence of god, there would be no valid proof that that god is Christian or not."
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"The increasing population means less land, and less land means a big crowd on every place. India is able to win gold medal of corrosion, terrorism , illeteracy, violence, etc."
school uniform is a good idea,I think that school uniform is a good idea. First it's make students look nice and tidy. Second we can know that who is study in which school or who is in a same school with us and finally it's convenient because we don't have to spend to much of time to choose clothes to school
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"In the United States of America, pro-choice is the only constitutional way to go. Elsewhere in the world, people will do whatever they want."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"""If a women is raped"" is a good argument. However why would you punish an innocent baby with the death penalty for some other man's crime. If the women does not want the child she could give it up for adoption. I just dont understand why you would kill the baby, the emotional trauma would happen without the baby as well."
physical education should be mandatory in schools,In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won't be obese anymore.
water bottles should be banned,Plastic can kill many types of fish species. There have been 26 pieces of fish found in one single fish. Fish are extremly vital to the environment as a food source for birds which eat bugs therfore the cycle of life.
parents should not spank their children,"I strongly believe parents should not use physical punishment like spanking to discipline their child. The child will obey if they have a strong healthy relationship with a parent, if they have gained their respect. The parents should have a friendly relationship with their child and the child will soon respect them and agree to what their parents decide although they may not like it. They will learn that the parents know whats best for them."
India has the potential to lead the world,yes it does with a rapidly growing population and a growing economy India is in line with china to become the greatest economic powers of the world
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,"I think that it is better to have a father who is lousy because I consider my father on a low level of lousy, and I think that I'm doing just fine.   I just think thats it better to know that you have a father. I think that not knowing him, or what he looks like would ( to me ) be a insecure topic in my life. So, in my opinion. Just to know he exist would be better to me."
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,I would rather be father less it might sound bad but I dont want to think of my father as a lousy one. I would love my dad but it just wouldn't be the same if you had a bad father that just keep bringing you problems. You dont have to have a father you can talk to someone else. Maybe its just because I am girl it would be easier for me to talk to my mother.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
creationism is better than evolution,You're just as much brainwashed as I am   except you're the other side
school uniform is a good idea,"THE SCHOOL UNIFORM IS A VERY GOOOOOOOOOD IDEA , WHY ??   becouse the school uniform makes pupils concentrated on their education than on their clothes and I believe that school uniform instills discipline among pupils it makes pupils with diferent material statuses more equal :)"
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,If my husband where to commit a murder I would most likely not turn him in. He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."
atheism is better than christianity,there is no god. Science has proven it. It was just an excuse made up so people from simplier times didnt have to think to hard on those big questions.
evolution is better than creationism,There is no argument need to be made.   The entire scientific community agrees: Evolution happened and is still happening.
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I think that advancing the common good is better because its helping out the community. But personal pursuit will be better because i know that if i dont go to college after high school then i wont go at all so i would choose my personal pursuit.
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
India does not have the potential to lead the world,"India has Strong Military Neighbors (China & Pakistan)...India has bad relation with Pakistan as they have territorial disputes and also fought 4 wars for this... and as far as china , India relation also become tense with china...due rise of territorial disputes and India interference in Pakistan....as Pakistan China has long term plans ....for example Pak China Economic Corridor and Gawadar Mega Oil City...."
parents should spank their children,"I think spanking should be an option. Although I believe it should be an option, I believe it should be a last option."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I am Pro-Life,   Here is a question for anyone who is Pro-Choice: Is the baby in the mother's stomach living and if not how do you know?"
India has the potential to lead the world,india international institute like nalanda where students of many countries came for studies.........discovery of decimal and 0
water bottles should not be banned,"jesus loves plastic water bottles, and you cant argue with that logic"
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork."
water bottles should not be banned,"I don't know about you guys but water bottles are so convenient to me. What happens when I'm at the beach on a hot summers day and I'm getting all dehydrated and my only option for water is the ocean that I wouldn't drink from..I have two options, pass out from the heat and lack of water and waste the rest of my day sick/in the hospital..or drink out of a WATER BOTTLEE"
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
gay marriage is fine,"Three of your links are from right wing/conservative groups. Especially against gay marriage. They are extremely biased. I did not even have to go to the sites to know that.   Those three are #2,#3, and #5 on your list.   #2 is a polling company, if I recall and 'try' to write intelligently, but don't have research behind their writings.   #1 has no real barring on the argument at hand."
India has the potential to lead the world,India is a secular state.people of all communities reside here so india has the knowledge of almost all countries and the way they live. so it can easily lead all the people of world without creating any nuissance among anyone.
porn is not wrong,Porn kills nobody. It's a profitable source of entertainment for some.   Can somebody really tell me what's wrong with it without injecting their moral standards into the argument?
gay marriage is fine,"Yes I believe gay marriage should be allowed. Mosy who do not want it to be allowed just dont like homosexuality all together, and therefore the opposing side tends to be prejudice. If two men or two women are happy together, love each other, and want to be with each other forever why shouldn't they be allowed to get married??"
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,"Well personally I think that personal pursuit is better. No reason really, I just feel that I can help the people I care about most if im looking out for myself instead of the whole world. If i focus on my goals then someday I may be able to give my family what they have always dreamed about in return helping me even more."
books are better than tv,"Books enlighten the soul. Books don't destroy the morals of children. Books throw the mind into a series of questions, they take the readers to mystical places, paradise, and even the kitchen sink. They change your perspective on life and often give the reader a sense of relativity. Television is like a drug. It's as bad as nicotine. Fahrenheit 451, the Night Circus, The Secret Garden, Inkheart... Do I have to further explain..?"
gay marriage is wrong,"""Or do you mean that gay _sex_ is helping spread AIDS? In which   case gay marriage may help reduce the problem. ""   What is 'gay sex'?   I think (and this is a wild guess) that the original argument the person was attempting to make was that UNPROTECTED ANAL sex can increase the liklihood of AIDS transmission. That might be true. But if it is, it really has nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the two people involved."
school uniform is a bad idea,"We talk about how schools destroy creativity and uniforms are a classic example of that destruction. In most schools with uniforms the students are given the occasional day to were their casual clothes but are then given strict guidelines as to what is acceptable. This is effectively turning ""casual clothes"" into a twisted ""causal"" uniform."
evolution is better than creationism,"Not it's not. But along your line of argument, believe in ""Creationism"" and ""God"" is like believing that a puzzle can be solved by waving a magic wand. I mean, God wouldn't actually touch the pieces with his godly fingers would he?   You clearly don't understand evolution. Read a book or two."
school uniform is a bad idea,The last thing which a school ought to do is attempt to hinder the creative expression - the individuality - of their still-developing children.
creationism is better than evolution,"That doesn't make much sense. Why are we still evolving and the monkeys aren't?   Why aren't fish jumping out of the water and growing legs?   I mean, if it happened billions of years ago than how come its not happening today?   Why can't we find psuedo-hybrid fish with legs forming?   What caused evolution to stop happening for a mysterious time of thousands of years?"
books are better than tv,books are better than TV because most of the TV kids watch add influences to them which are not good and most parents don't care what there children watch and I thank book are better because you learn more from books.
physical education should be mandatory in schools,"Yes, because...   1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but...   2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help!   3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................   I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!"
porn is not wrong,"Yeah, women are degraded by pornography, but if it's already done, why shouldn't we watch it? We can't stop something that has already happened, so let's just go for it :P"
India has the potential to lead the world,"India does have ptential to lead the world, but so does China! America continues to outsource good manufactoring jobs to these countries resulting in an economic boost for India and China!"
atheism is better than christianity,"Christianity: belief in rape, genocide, hell fire, unscientific claims, superstition, eternal torture, pedophilia, incest, matricide, infanticide, bestiality, talking donkeys, talking snakes, etc   Atheism: the rejection of these claims based on logic, observation, and common sense"
atheism is better than christianity,"god aint flipppin real, so get over it u dumb belivers of god"
water bottles should be banned,The next level thinks he is the next level.    Atlas would drop the world for a chance to shake his hand.
it is better to be fatherless than have a lousy father,"I think if i had a dad that did nothing for me i wouldnt want him around because odds are you and him arent going to be talking 5 years down the line anyway, so why try and make it work out if you already know what the outcome is."
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Yes, because who knows if they will turn on you and than one night that you less expect it they will try to kill you because its on their mind that you know the truth and the truth cant get out and they need to get rid of all types of clues even of those they love just incase they try to talk to someone."
porn is wrong,"Porn is wrong when it is not done in moderation. Porn addicts turn out to have intimacy issues in their relationships and mistreat and view women in a negative manner. Also people who are addicted to porn, expect all women to look like porn stars and act like porn stars, when in reality that is not what sex is about... But it tends to screw up their reality."

He's my husband and I'm going to be there for him for better or for worst. Yes he made a big mistake and he should pay for it I know that but i don't think I'll have the heart to turn in the man I love. We have to protect each other and be their for each other no matter how bad it is. Even if it makes me his accomplice.
school uniform is a bad idea,Students should be allowed to express them selves.. and with the uniform .. well they are all the same... thats boring.
water bottles should not be banned,"Bottled water is somewhat less likely to be found in developing countries, where public water is least safe to drink. Many government programs regularly disperse bottled water for various reasons. Distributing small bottles of water is much easier than distributing large bulk storages of water. Also contamination from large water storage containers is much more likely than from single 12-20 ounce bottles of water."
school uniform is a bad idea,School uniforms are a BAD idea. Kids won't be able to show their color.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would definately turned them in even if it hurst me. Any person that commits a murder should not get away with it because if they did it once they can do it again so it dangerous to have them out in the enviroment. Also, if i dont turn her in how do i know that later on in life i might be a victim."
creationism is better than evolution,"Actually, creationism is an argument that has been in existence since the beginning of recorded history   With the writing of the Old Testament   I think you are referring to a time of more recent Christianity   So the Biblical account is an argument which has been in existance much longer than your note"
gay marriage is fine,There is an argument of people saying is gay marriage acceptable or unacceptable. I would say most of the population of Britain would say it is wrong however I think anybody should be allowed to express there feelings to the one they love so I think it is acceptable. Because how come we can get married to the other secuality however a man can't express his feelings to a man or a woman and a woman as gay sexuality I think gays should be allowed to do what they like when they like !!
evolution is better than creationism,Why not both? Why can't God have created a way for evolution to happen.   Who says that God did it himself?   Who says that God didn't cause the Big Bang or evolution to occur?   FINAL ANSWER: EVOLUTION THROUGH CREATION
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"Well I definitely would stick by my vows of marriage through the good times and the bad but I mean some people get married without truly knowing who the person is. Hmmm that is a hard one. Well if I truly loved this person I would not turn them in because, I mean I made a promise to them that they could turn to me for help in thick and thin till death do us part. But there are divorces that happen all the time because for whatever reason, but I don't know this is a toughy."
you should not turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"If it was the person you truly love and want to spend the rest of your life with then it's a definitely no. People make mistakes but although it's a major crime to murder someone I would still not turn in the person I love the most. If I plan on staying with that person I love for the rest of my life then I would stick with them and never turn them in. And if that means that I am part of that murder by not saying anything, well then so be it."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible."
India has the potential to lead the world,"India certainly has d potentials 2 lead d world......   in our real world power and weapons doesn't work any more   maybe...................................   maybe USA,UK or such other contries are more powerful but India is economically more strong.it is d hub 4 many other companies."

parents should spank their children,Yes so they can give the kids a reason not to do it again.
atheism is better than christianity,"For reasons that should be totally obvious, and which I would assume have been thoroughly fleshed out by others involved."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
gay marriage is wrong,for the record - I am not gay. I'm married and have a little daughter.
tv is better than books,TV can be better than books because TV can show the characters' faces and the action can be displayed that is hard for one to decipher from a book.
porn is wrong,"I think it's wrong, It goes against women rights and those girls are under aged and abused. It's also really sick in a way, what freak would film people having sex?! I don't get it. I don't see what's so good about it, if you want sexual entertainment, masturbate or something."
school uniform is a bad idea,I think it is bad to wear school uniform because it makes you look unatrel and you cannot express yourself enough so band school uniform OK
porn is not wrong,"Easy access to porn may be the reason there has been an 85 percent decline in rapes over the last 25 years, according to a law professor at Northwestern University."
physical education should not be mandatory in schools,"I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything"
books are better than tv,some ppl cant read is absolutely idiotic to say   the ppl who cant read wud always run away frm dem   bt even den B for books nd B for best   so books r da best   i cant sleep if i wont read a chapter frm any novel each day   bt actually sometimes i feel reading books all day becomes boring (in schools textbooks nd at home novels) so only sometimes i watch tv nd dat 2 news channels   hence by reading books i can even pass my time nd even improve my speaking skills
porn is wrong,is it wrong? yes. unhealthy? yes. Addictive? yes. but so is smoking ciggarettes. just because its wrong doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
water bottles should be banned,People drink water every day and are oblivious to the fact that they are destroying are own planet
creationism is better than evolution,"The scientific rigor you mention is not present in evolutionary theory. Here's one example: In the 1800s, Charles Lyell and others came up with dates for the rock strata. Radiometric dating wasn't invented until the 1900s. When it was invented, the techniques were calibrated to match the dates Lyell came up with. To say that this proves the dates that Lyell came up with is a logical fallacy, and it sure doesn't sound like true scientific rigor to me."
pro-life is better than pro-choice,"I'm pro-life based on one major fact.... abortion being used the way it is today.. like a last minute form of birth control. If your too stupid to wear protection, get on the pill, just give the baby up, there are thousands of people who can't have children who'd love to have it."
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I would rather have a lousy father than being fatherless because I would at least have the tranquility of knowing who my father is than spending my whole life wondering who he was. If I was to grow up fatherless I would grow with an emptiness in me. I would prefer growing up with a lousy father and learn from his mistakes than not having a father at all.
books are better than tv,books are always better than tv coz. books give more knowledge than tv does.
pro-choice is better than pro-life,"Pro-Life means the problem of overpopulation is being directly supplied, as well as many more crack-addicted/poverty ridden babies are born. Pro-Choice ftw"
atheism is better than christianity,ever since recorded history weve believed in sky spirits for which no evidence exists at all.
it is better to have a lousy father than be fatherless,I think it would be better to have a lousy father because atleast you have someone there. Just because a father is lousy doesn't mean you can't change that. Maybe you could knock some sense into him and he would come around and be a good father. The fact that you would never even get a chance to know your father makes me believe that having a lousy father is better than no father.
evolution is better than creationism,There is not God. I just use him in my arguments to make sarcastic comments. Sorry.
you should turn your spouse in if they committed murder,"I would turn my spouse in if they told me they committed murder. Weather it was by accident or on purpose. If it was an accident than the police will figure that out. For example, what if my spouse murdered your spouse. Wouldn't you want to know who killed him/her? I would, I wouldn't allow my self to rest until I knew. Sometimes in life their is more to worry about than yourself."
tv is better than books,I like tv because you can watch all the porn you want with your family
tv is better than books,It Improves academic skills of a child .Television has made children enthusiastic and confident.   Children improve their academics and increase their ideas and innovations!!!
advancing the common good is better than personal persuits,I say the common good because of the type of forces that you can make as a whole group. like that person that says that by not voting they are not making a difference and when you look at the whole the population or percentage is bigger than of those who did vote. So if you want a good to be down and win you need more than yourself to win by looking for others with the same views.
gay marriage is fine,"What is wrong with it, if they want to marry let them. If were your child or adopted mother/father you'd accept it!!!"
