• Please excuse my absence, I have been busy doing more important things than debating strangers over the internet I said there was no use of nuclear weaponry because it is not used to defend one's property or self, it is used to destroy an area of interest, I would be killing…
• And so you see, this is where my opponent likes to put words in my mouth, I never said anything about nuclear weapons, firearms are about precision, accuracy, and about hitting a specific target, a nuclear weapon is used to demolish a large mass of a population, no one ever…

• My opponent dropped all of my arguments. Please extend them.
• FrameworkThere are two reasons to accept my burdens analysis.The first is a textual link to the resolution. If Nazism proves to be at any point on the spectrum besides far-left, then it is not far-left and the resolution is true. It does not matter is Nazism is moderate,…

• As my opponent has already conceded my proposition, I extend all arguments. Please remember that since my opponent affirms that obama does in fact have views contradictory to libertarianism, I won the debate, as his duty was to argue CON- that obama does not have views…
• My oponent affirmed my proposition by stating "Of course, Barack Obama has views that differ from Libertarianism" I will continue to argue why Libertarians should not support a socialist like Obama, however, him having a single issue contradictory to Libertarianism is enough to…

• Americans and the American government choose to limit immigration to the United States strictly out of greed and racism. Individuals in other countries face horrible conditions and only enter the United States with the wish to help their families. The extreme courage and…
• There should be no such thing as illegal immigration and those individuals already in the country that are labeled as illegal immigrants should be granted amnesty. Immigrants fuel the economy, whether or not they have entered the country legally. By entering the country,…

• Thats okay.Might as well finish what I had typed on word.... The report also made mention of extensive US funding behind Hariri's faction, led then by Fouad Siniora, augmenting the creation of this militant force: "The United States has also given clandestine support to the…

• "if God wanted it out he would of not made the pledge with it in there" First of all, you are switching your points every round. Please stay with the same one(s). Anyway, this is very, very subjective. How do you know what God wants? As an example, take drug dealers. Does God…
• Sorry, but your belief in God has absolutely no relevance to this issue. Also, I note that you have dropped all of your "contentions" in favor of only one. Again you say that there is no reason the government should take it out, but I feel that I have sufficiently demonstrated…

• I guess that's all...
• I'd like to debate this with you, but i can't really do that until you clarify your position.

For

• I think that you are right and that it is immoral to stand by and let this happen when we can help. At this time I think that it would be wise to pull aid out of these countries because though the render aid law was passed the people in the Middle East don't have many laws…
• You are right even though it took a tremendous amount of time we did find Osama Bin Laden and guess where? In Pakistan where they harbored the terrorist for all that time. And yes I do believe that we should help ourselves before we help these other countries because it is…

• Citizens should be allowed to own guns. I am for the right to own firearms. The con of this debate must prove why we should not own firearms.
• I also realize that you are pro firearms. I will use logic to reason with you. First I would like to point out the fact the guns can protect Innocent people for being killed as we see in this case here. . http://www.wsbtv.com... Also I would like to point out the fact that guns…

• Again, con has used the false equivalancy between religion and morality to enforce his belief that religion should be present in our national government. There is no direct proof that those who are religious have better social and moral development, in fact, as can be seen in…
• My counterpart has made a false equivalency between morality and religiosity. To say that religion is the only thing stopping people from killing each other is absurd. In fact, countries that are more religious in general have more problems with morality than those who are non…

• Yes, I'm focusing on homicides in my discussions, and I'm using several official unbiased sources to pull the numbers from while you are using sites which have an agenda against guns and are twisting the data or just lie on the data to fit their narrative. This is my point,…
• The answer to your question is yes they do have an impact on deaths per year. A positive one. There are less deaths, and violent crime because we have guns. (as shown by the CDC, FBI, and England) Now let me respond with a question back to you. Do vehicles have an impact on the…

• Thanks for the opportunity to debate this topic. And sorry for the late response; life happens.First of all, I'd like to see a source on your "0 attacks" statement. That just seems too negative to be true, but I'll be the first to admit it if you have a legitimate source.…

• No, those sources were not there in round 2, you came up with them now, go see round 2. Also, even if you could prove that Ronald Reagan said that, it is irrelevant, just because Reagan thought something doesn't mean that I have to, or that he is necessarily right. It's like if…
• No, you did not cite any sources, besides, even if you did, your source needs to provide a place and time where Reagan said that. In response to your first argument, you assume that it is the government's job to decide what rights the people should have, and that the government…

• ----- Con:Not some progressives, not most progressives, "Progressives" which must mean "ALL" progressives. ----- Not actually. Seeing tha Con wants semantics rather than to try & defend an indefensable position of the left in general, let's play semantics. Technically, I didn't…

• Well, this is my third time I debated this, and it is the third times my oppentent has forfeited. " I strongly disagree with you and no one has been able to argue coherently against you, which is disappointing." This is the best because you say you won't forfeit, but you don't…
• Hello Thank you for the challenge and please no forfeiting. IN your argument, you just say that Iran has no need for war, because their economy relies on foreign oil. That doesn't mean anything. President Ahmadinejad isn't looking for war. He has said "death to Israel."…

• Yes some old rules do still apply such as no murder and thievery but some laws are out dated such as right to bare arms so I think that the U.S. should change some of it's laws, also several reported cases show that people DO protest in residential areas as well as they do make…
• Well we should be able to change the constitution because in is out dated but that was off topic, still back to the topic i was talking about, would you like it if a bunch of people were protesting right in front of your house at midnight, or would you like a bunch of…

• To clarify what I said was "The cost in lives of the war exceeds the number of people killed on 9/11". See I said people. The use of "people" is generic and includes all lives both civilian, military, firemen, and police. When I later said, "To justify that high number of…

• "Do you realize how unethical drugs and prostitution is?" Yes I do. I also think adultery is unethical. I think swingers are a bizarre bunch too. I'll admit I don't enjoy seeing two gay people kiss in public (not because I consider it unethical, but because I'm not used to it).…

• Initially, I would like to point out the obvious flaws of my opponents case. Duplicity is completely irrelevant to this debate. As cruel as it may be, the US government has no obligation to the Egyptian or Uzebekistani people. The social contract obligates that the US…
