de ja vu a glimpse into the future or something more sinister

you name it I'll debate it

How about moral issues like:

-Abortion
-Capital punishment (I know we've had this kind of discussion before, but it would be interesting to see it in a form of a proper debate)
-Euthanasia

Hmmmm (scratches chin)....

how about:

Are mediums fake or genuine?

Do or did faeries/little people exist or can they be explained by some other means?

Nessie: real pleisiosaur in the loch or illusions/hoaxes/tourist propaganda?

El Chupacabra - Monster or Hysteria

Are ghosts sentient or just replayed events

I would really, really love to see that.
Now what would they debate... hmm.

coincidence vs fate

which came first
or
do they exist separately ?

Rhetorical/Unexplained based Topics VS Answerable/Explained Based Topics (Which topics are worth wasting time on?)




*Edit: I'm sure you'll felt lost as to what I meant. I basically meant, Is it a waste of time to debate on a topic that has no factual grounds over a topic that does?


I even confuse myself at times. No, really.

how about:

should the military retain the right to censor mail to the troops, to keep them in good morale?

guns for civilians: good or bad

should people have the right to drive motorcycles, despite the huge risk to others?

and of course, i couldnt resist:

tyrannosaurus: predator or scavenger?

Man_in_mudboots, the last one is the best.

Umm... how 'bout...

Does the human soul exist? Yes vs. No

Near Death Experiences: real or just neurochemical changes in the brain?

ones moe would like to see:


nature vs. nurture in human development

the separation of church and state.


american feminism vs. middle eastern feminism. Is one less justified than the other?

The Bible: Fact or Fiction.

eeeeeeeeeeekkk!

ahhhhhhhhhh


nooooooooooo


please dont go there!!

Yeah you're probably right, that may start a civil war or something.

[COLOR=red] is vivisection right vs is it wrong?????


i think that it's right as long as animals are treated with as much kindness as possible![COLOR=red]

A debate about why or why not drugs should be legal.

Come on you know it would be fun.

BIG BANG THEORY: TRUE OR FALSE

SKEPTICS VS. PSYCHICS

DO UFO'S EXIST?

DO MONKEYS EAT CHICKEN? (lol) no im jus playing with you all on that one...)

how exactly, would you debate skeptics versus psychics???

well......


i meant like that they are both always debating if ESP or PSI exists.
In one corner there's the freakin skeptics. And in the other corner there's those awesome psychics.

WHAT! its not like im taking sides or anything! Come on!

The very point of a debate is the skeptic point of view versus the believers point of view.

A debate in your favour would be:
Psychic Ability, Real or Fake?

I think that's what you're getting at.

How about crop circles real vs. fake how are they made and what do they mean?

1. The legalization of Drugs vs. The War on Drugs

2. Homosexuality and Prostitution vs. The United States Constition and The Holy Bible

3. The Sword vs. The Pen

4. Space vs. Cyberspace ( Which one will eventually hold the most capacity )

5. Bush vs. Kerry

6. Lies vs. The Truth ( Which one is always the best alternative )

7. Fate vs. Free Will vs. Randomness

8. The Death Penalty vs. Morality and Virtue

9. Magick vs. Faith ( Which one is more powerful )

10. Anarchy vs. Government

Nellis AFB v. s-4 v. Area 51 v. Groom Lake

Now if we did that debate, it would not be pretty.

lol

Gaia Hypothesis: is it feasible or not?

I like that one MoonBaby. Props.


How the pyramids were built: Aliens or Hard labour.

Or kites.

And gracias Burn dude.

Seriously?
I'm on my way!!

What about:

Is the String Theory feasible?

We should vote on what topics we would like to see debated.

lookie, somebody used my suggestion! i contributed! i contributed! **runs to mother screaming "hey maw! lookie, i tole you i was doing good stuff on this here computer!" at the top of his lungs**

boots, you are a strange bird.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, we need to do the war on drugs one. I will so debate in that. It should be a 2 on 2.

Gun control, and violations to the second amendment.

edit: If anyone wants to hit this 1-1 with me, PM me.

judging from my signature, it's obvious what side i'm on =P

Hmm...

U.S. Prostitution should be legal vs Keep Illegal (its one my friends and I fight about all the time)

Bible Code- Real vs Wishful thinking

Fairy Folk- Myth vs Real

Avalon- Real place once vs Fiction

If all you guys wish to participate in a debate we dont have running yet drop me a PM .

Only though , if you have enough competitors lined up to take the places. We have debates running just now feel free to put your name forward

As I'm already a debater, I thought about:
Brains versus Brawns
Logic: Good or Bad
After life: Dose it exist or is it just a big, fat rumour?
Money: root of all evil or just a necessity?
Computers: path way to he future or road to destruction?

Hope one of these gets picked, but if not, I'll still be angery! lol

how about:
should we colonize the universe or stay at home?
should we grant the right to commit suicide?
should we end the taboo agianst incest?

What about going to mars- worthwhile or waste of money?
