The sword is mightier than the pen.

"The pen is mightier than the sword" is a proverb indicating that communication (particularly written language), or in some interpretations, administrative power or advocacy of an independent press, is a more effective tool than direct violence and military prowess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_pen_is_mightier_than_the_sword In the upcoming rounds, I will be arguing that the sword is more effective. I will begin the discussion in Round Two upon my opponent's acceptance....

Optimism vs. Pessimism

Introduction An optimist is a person with a positive outlook on life. A pessimist is a person with a negative outlook on life. Dispositional optimism and pessimism are typically assessed by asking people whether they expect future outcomes to be beneficial or negative. In this debate, I will be arguing that it is overall better to be an optimist than a pessimist.Upon my opponent's acceptance, I will begin the debate in Round 2. I look forward to a thought provoking and fruitful discussion....

Nursey Rhyme Rap Battle

This is going to be a rap battle based off of nursery rhymes. The raps will be based off of them. You can only base them of rhymes from this page: http://www.nurseryrhymes.org/nursery-rhymes.html , to avoid sematics or whatever. If it isn't on there don't use it. So.... this is pretty self explanatory. First round is acceptance so you'll see what i mean in round 2. Only refer and base your rap off of one per round. Voters, if one of us breaks a rule vote-nuke the one who did so. I set a...

Creationism is more Logical than the Theory of Evolution

I will be arguing that Creationism makes more sense and is backed by more evidence than the Theory of Evolution. Creationism: the belief that the universe and living organisms originate from specific acts of divine creation, as in the biblical account, rather than by natural processes such as evolution. Evolution: the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. I will be arguing for the existence of a creator, and more specifically the Judeo-Christ...

•	Abortion	ProComments I'm pro-choice, not pro-abortion. I don't believe fetuses have rights.
•	Affirmative Action	N/OComments People get ahead due to their connections and networks all the time, yet ironically don't consider that an advantage. AA tries to give certain groups other advantages. There are pros and cons. I don't really care about it.
•	Animal Rights	ConComments I appreciate animals and I value their conscious experience, but considering I'm not a vegan or at least vegetarian, I'm not so sure how highly I place that value.
•	Barack Obama	N/OComments I'm not liberal, but I prefer him to both Clintons, GWB, Romney and pretty much all of his political opponents with the exception of Ron and maybe Rand Paul.
•	Border Fence	ConComments It is a very expensive endeavor that introduces new forms of corruption. It would also not protect against terrorism, and I am for amnesty so don't care much about hindering "illegal" immigrants.
•	Capitalism	ProComments I support free and voluntary markets, but a more democratic workplace in many cases. I'm currently analyzing UBI.
•	Civil Unions	N/SComments All legal marriages should be civil unions.
•	Death Penalty	UndComments I think it would be most beneficial and perhaps a more moral endeavor to find other ways to punish criminals and protect society.
•	Drug Legalization	ProComments I'm 100% for the total legalization of all drugs.
•	Electoral College	Con
•	Environmental Protection	ProComments I am for some incentives to be environmentally conscious, but the current cap and trade standard are bunk.
•	Estate Tax	Con
•	European Union	N/OComments I don't know anything about it. I should.
•	Euthanasia	ProComments Your own life is your own property. If you want to destroy it, then by all means, go ahead. Of course morality comes into play when one's mental health and stability is in question.
•	Federal Reserve	ConComments Inflation. Corruption. Rinse and repeat.
•	Flat Tax	N/SComments Theoretically I support it, but other things would have to be in place such as more free market principles.
•	Free Trade	ProComments Why not?
•	Gay Marriage	ProComments Marriage is a social/spiritual contract that should carry with it no legal bearing outside of power of attorney discrepancies. But so long as heterosexual marriage enjoys legal privileges, then gay marriage = righteous.
•	Global Warming Exists	ProComments Global warming is real. It's probably man-made, but I haven't researched it enough to form a strong opinion.
•	Globalization	ProComments I don't support a single-state world controlled by the Illuminati though :P
•	Gold Standard	Und
•	Gun Rights	ProComments Owning a gun is a right. Hold people accountable for their own actions; don't restrict rights. Plus, owning a gun has been known to successfully deter crime, and I don't believe in government tyranny. Criminalizing guns would be astronomically unsucc
•	Homeschooling	ProComments I would love to home-school my kids, and think there are significant benefits.
•	Internet Censorship	ConComments What's the point?
•	Iran-Iraq War	ConComments Uh, fuck no. At the VERY least - not yet.
•	Labor Union	N/SComments I hate the union status quo, but I think they could be used as a force for good -- especially if more places were unionized and government influence (jobs) were reduced.
•	Legalized Prostitution	ProComments There's no good reason to criminalize it. Doing so would be harmful in addition to immoral.
•	Medicaid & Medicare	N/SComments Only for the time being until we can figure out how to cut health care costs. The qualifications for these programs should be limited, obviously, and subject to change.
•	Medical Marijuana	ProComments I'm 100% for medical and recreational marijuana.
•	Military Intervention	ConComments It should obviously be decided on a case by case basis, but usually no.
•	Minimum Wage	ConComments It's good in theory but counter-productive.
•	National Health Care	N/SComments Long story. Ask me sometime.
•	National Retail Sales Tax	N/SComments I'm opposed to the concept of taxing sales, but I would favor higher sales tax in lieu if income tax.
•	Occupy Movement	N/SComments I agree with the majority's collective goals: accountability for the banking industry and cronyism on Wall Street. But most of their hypocritical anti capitalist rhetoric is really dumb.
•	Progressive Tax	N/SComments A progressive tax system doesn't deter people from wanting to make a profit, but I think it's unfair and unnecessarily complicated.
•	Racial Profiling	ConComments This term is too non-specific. I'm okay with profiling for looking for known criminals, obviously, but in most cases racial profiling is really fail - especially when it comes to terrorism.
•	Redistribution	ConComments This term is misleading. I'm mostly Pro, but this can be taken out of context.
•	Smoking Ban	ConComments Let private establishments choose whether or not they'd allow smoking. However, I'm opposed to smoking in public places.
•	Social Programs	N/SComments In this society, I believe in some social programs but not all, and most need reform.
•	Social Security	ConComments It's a Ponzi Scheme.
•	Socialism	ConComments Immoral failure.
•	Stimulus Spending	Con
•	Term Limits	ProComments Who cares. Politicians are all full of shit.
•	Torture	ConComments In most cases it's useless and ineffective.
•	United Nations	N/SComments Again. Politicians are all full of shit. These people don't know wtf they're doing, and it's all political anyway. It's also not helping much (globally) and certainly working against the U.S. in terms of funding.
•	War in Afghanistan	ConComments Al Qaeda wasn't in Afghanistan for a long time. It was just a clusterfuck and gigantic waste of time, money and innocent lives.
•	War on Terror	ConComments The U.S. should invest Intelligence into fighting and avoiding terrorism; however, I do not support the "War on Terror" that is meant to use fear tactics to manipulate Americans in supporting false pretenses for war and violates our civil liberties.
•	Welfare	ConComments We provided for each other before relying on the state to do it for us.
