• It took you a while to respond to the arguement lol. "Just no to anarchy. That means no government. That means no social security. No laws. No enforcement of laws. No social services. Anarchy opens up and allows dictators etc. etc. to take over. We would become totalitarian…
• Anarchy is very misunderstood! As most people would have you believe the opposite, Anarchy does not mean chaos, nihilism, or any other term of the sort. It is in fact quite the contrary, Anarchism implies a society that is governed neither by rules or rulers, but rather by…

• My text was not merely a speech but it was a good review over everything we have wrong in this country. I was just telling the facts, without a bias. Times change, and the framers even said the Constitution will need change. Our constitution has been amended a total of 27…
• If America does not watch where it is headed it will stumble miserably. We need a reality check. Our founding fathers gave us a gift of freedom, and they set up an excellent way to run this country. In the way they set it up, people get to be free, no one gets too much power,…

• A strategic missile defense shield will be an effective defense against ballistic missile attacks targeted at the United States and its allies
• A robust missile defense shield will provide the protection previously afforded by the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction, allowing the US to dismantle much of its dangerous nuclear arsenal

• Government does not fund vending machines they fund the schools so they can buy food for the lunches and since junk food doesn't cost as much there Is more junk food if government supplied more money to schools they could buy healthier food

• Are Guys seriously any Stronger than Women? Physically sometimes, but women can be just as strong and physically fit as guys. Mentally not at all, might be considered even although it has been proven that on average women are more mentally "fit" then men. Emotionally not even…
• The women of this country have earned the right to be equal to men. There is absolutely no good reason why they shouldn't be allowed to be in the special forces or anything else that is currently "closed" to women in the military. I think men are just afraid that the women are…

• Their presence there is that of an empire and imperialism. They should leave and grant Inuits their independence.
• OK here me out, I never said revolt. No former colony of any power is in that stage anymore. Countries like England and Denmark have given their countries self-government, but I think they should grant them independence. I'm suggesting an independent Greenland receiving…

• There is no reason for it not to become a state. There wouldn't be a language barrier, they would become wealthier, they might even be able to pay of their huge debt. They would receive approximately $20,000,000 a year if they were a state. If they remain a commonwealth, they…
• If Puerto Rico became a state, some people worry that it will be hard for them to learn English. Learning English would benefit them in many ways. They would be able to achieve higher ranking jobs and earn more money to feed their families. It would be hard in the beginning but…

• US Aid as a Bribe: Con argues that a lot of other people agree with him, so therefore he is correct. However, the whole idea that Egypt would attack Israel if US cut aid is ridiculous. Indeed, Egypt and Israel are quite close. (1) The Wall Street Journal reports: "Nowadays, the…
• Thank you for your argument. Well done, sir! Now, I would first like to apologize for failing to mention the Yom Kippur War. It completely slipped my mind, and con is correct, that Egypt and its Arab coalition lost two major wars in reasonable quick succession, adding to their…

• Yeah, well I think the arguments (or lack thereof) speak for themselves. I urge you to consider that my contentions have been untouched, and therefore deserve the votes. I do appreciate the honesty though, Thoreau.

• I think that television propaganda should be banned because it affects how people live. Also it leads to patriotism. Finally, it leads to people dying for no reason. I think these reasons are the biggest cause why we have to start banning politics propaganda.
• My final reason why we should ban propaganda is because propaganda leads to patriotism. According to google definitions patriotism is vigorous support for one's country. In other words the person wants to die for your country but make it the best. Love it like your mother and…

• Thanks for your interesting response, Cody. Sorry about that "wall of text"-won't happen again, I'm not used to debating on here yet. First of all, thanks for concentrating on the issue of whether fascism is on the rise or not, instead of it's justice. Your definitions of…

• I thank CON for offering his comments this final round. I will do my best to address everything that is relevant, since I have been accused of not doing so. Agenda 21 CON has accused me of not addressing Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is a document prepared by the United Nations which…

• My first argument is simply that the British voting system of first past the post is extremely unrepresentative of the views of the British people. For instance in the 2015 General Election the UK independence party got 12.6% of the vote. However they only received 1 out of 650…
