Why is it humane to euthanize a pet that is suffering yet humans are required by law to suffer til they die. | |

f5670653-2019-04-18T11:06:37Z-00004-000 | Well yeah, I couldn't rebuttal you without you making a point first. Duh. 1: Yes they do 2: As proven as humanly possible Yes. 3. I would be inclined to agree. 4. Never knew that was a thing, But sure, Why not. 5. They have side effects, What you mean is serious side effects, But I get the point. 6. Well I wouldn't car... | |
573179be-2019-04-18T16:24:09Z-00002-000 | Refutation to your arguments: 1. Not wearing a uniform will let the student express who they want to be, thus increasing their self-esteem. I see what you mean by others who cannot afford uniform, but no one wants to wear them. 2. If school wasn't as boring as it is, then teachers shouldn't have to worry about their st... | |
94b67e8-2019-04-18T16:15:54Z-00004-000 | Prostitution is the oldest profession. It is not exactly the noblest or most favorable occupation but I think that it should be legalized for the sake of making it safer and taxable. One only needs to look back at alcohol prohibition to see the negative implications that the criminalization of prostitution or any other... | |
9117c1e6-2019-04-18T19:55:18Z-00000-000 | "No one really gives girls a chance because they think they are going to suck." Really. Where is it you aren't being given a chance? Title IX ensures that in high schools (at least the public ones, the vast majority) have at least as many athletic programs (often more) for females as males. In college, much the same oc... | |
9117c1e6-2019-04-18T19:55:18Z-00002-000 | The fact that some males take steroids is not a factor the adjustment of which will have consequences for our argument. After all, some females take steroids too (see Marion Jones), and the documented differences predate the steroid era. I don't know who gets "humongous muscles" in "two days," so you have an anecdote w... | |
3749d168-2019-04-18T15:18:34Z-00006-000 | I accept. My arguing skills may be a lot rusty, since I have debated in like half of a year ago. But anyway, I wish the best of luck to my opponent to this debate topic. I also hope that this topic will not turn out to be a flame war. | |
1bdb82e-2019-04-18T19:33:32Z-00003-000 | To a degree he is correct, this is a major function of the EC, but not the only one. The United States is a Federal Republic. A Federal Republic is a collection of sovereign states that give up certain aspects of their autonomy to form a larger 'union', or 'Federation'. [1] Therefore, when electing the Head of State fo... | |
10fc577b-2019-04-18T13:19:46Z-00001-000 | It is unfortunate to see that my worthy opposition had not posted any response to my arguments almost implying that he/she has nothing to say. Therefore, I have got nothing to refute. Because of this I shall just state some of the possible situations that could arise if the government does indeed give benefits to paren... | |
e8143261-2019-04-18T11:47:16Z-00000-000 | Thanks for letting me fulfill my position.Here is my stance in this debate."1) It's extremely addictive for some people: If you don't want to take my word for it, listen to Dr. Drew Pinsky who has been working with addicts for decades. It would be malpractice to say that cannabis isn't addictive. Anybody who's experien... | |
6e08c139-2019-04-18T17:29:42Z-00000-000 | I will now summarize this debate and make a closing statement. Con has presented arguments that are self-contradicting: Should spanking "be banned from everywhere," including children's own homes, or is it "the parents [sic] choice" whether or not to spank their children? I have shown that spanking should not be banned... | |
6e08c139-2019-04-18T17:29:42Z-00001-000 | Thank you for your rebuttal as well as your compliment. You are a very courteous individual--to the voters: please take this into account for the conduct vote. Before I write my argument, I must make a small amendment to my rebuttal that has no bearing on its integrity. I wrote "capital punishment" in the very first pa... | |
cafa2ea5-2019-04-18T11:28:58Z-00000-000 | I will be arguing that teachers should be allowed to carry, but not forced to, given that they have valid CHL licenses in the states which they reside. | |
cafa2ea5-2019-04-18T11:28:58Z-00001-000 | No they should not. Teachers should wield pens, not guns. | |
ad85c0b0-2019-04-18T11:16:16Z-00001-000 | First, I am not sure if you are educated or if you were forced to be, But if you were, It obviously is not being implemented in your life, As evidenced by your atrocious spelling and grammar (this system even has spell check). Of course, If English is not your native language, This is forgivable. Second, What I inferre... | |
ef6663ee-2019-04-18T12:09:49Z-00000-000 | Faith schools in England are academically "little or no better than any other schools", and pushing for their expansion is unlikely to boost social mobility, an education think tank has warned. Recent government reports have hailed faith schools as some of the best performing and most desirable schools in the country. ... | |

be8af927-2019-04-18T17:50:03Z-00003-000 | Im doing this topic for a school essay and want to know other peoples opinions on it. I promise I will not accredit anything without your ok. I just want an argument against this. If you could do this that would be great thanks:) | |
77198a86-2019-04-18T17:38:38Z-00003-000 | Saying that gun control legislation does not deter crime is simply ignorant. My opponent could never logically argue the fact that if rocket launchers were legal for citizens to own that they wouldn't be used in criminal activity. While his point is accurate in that everything the shooter in Newtown, Connecticut did wa... | |
b21e001c-2019-04-18T17:10:18Z-00002-000 | http://www.youtube.com... Here's another video. It isn't necessarily about childhood obesity, but it is a good video on obesity in America (and is somewhat entertaining). Child abuse is the physical, sexual, or emotional maltreatment or neglect of a child(ren). By neglecting to feed a child nutritious foods and allowin... | |
8d834d48-2019-04-18T20:01:52Z-00004-000 | I think that teens should get birth control because then they would be even more irresponsible than before now knowing that they can do whatever they what without parents consent and know they have a backup. That is very sick and really disgraceful to show that teens can get anything they want. Soon they'll be debating... | |
8160cfd9-2019-04-18T18:44:31Z-00000-000 | Marijuana is just like a step toward harder drugs like heroin, cocaine etc. Stoned driving and other drangers would defiinatly increase. With it legalized would increase the chances of drug use falling into the hands of kids. Physical damages will be done to user who abuse it. There would be and increase in secondhand ... | |
34496b7c-2019-04-18T18:15:34Z-00004-000 | First off, I'd like to point a couple reason why your specific plan would fail. 1. It seems to me that you're main argument for reasons as to why minorities are not voiced and racism is growing is simply b/c of ACCESS to broadband networks. Your specific plan only outlines to action by the FCC to increase investment in... | |
bda53b78-2019-04-18T15:58:35Z-00005-000 | People younger than 18 years old should be able to vote in the United States of America. This will be a short debate. Round 1 for con is acceptance. | |
603ee756-2019-04-18T11:22:47Z-00005-000 | The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. Most of the warming occurred in the past 35 years, with the five warmest years on re... | |
603ee756-2019-04-18T11:22:47Z-00006-000 | I will begin with a few statistics and quotes from experts showing, unequivocally, that global warming has occurred. I will then move on to show that this effect is largely a result of human actions, technology, and the like. Next, I will provide quotes and sources specifically stating that the current level(s) of glob... | |
a82d5461-2019-04-18T11:23:44Z-00000-000 | Response to your round 1:You are committing an Argumentum ad Naturam fallacy because you are arguing that a vegetarian diet is bad as it is "not even natural".You are committing a Strawman Fallacy because you are vastly distorting, exaggerating and misrepresenting my view. I clearly stated that this debate will be abou... | |
88e262a3-2019-04-18T19:07:44Z-00002-000 | Since Pro has failed to present any new points in this debate so far, i will spend this argument refuting what Pro has said. Pro starts his argument with saying that " what kid wants to smoke and drink? " Well what kid wants to vote and worry about the government? thats "adult stuff" and for those that DO read about th... |
