Would anyone be interested in Debating about GUN-CONTROL LAWS: Right to bear arms?
Or what about The American Presidency: Should it be scrapped?

I'd like to see a gun control debate, that would be swell. How about a nature vs nurture debate, as well?

Nature: some people are just born bad, no matter the circumstances
Nurture: environmental factors, such as parenting, education, economic status, are more important when it comes to factors causing criminal behavior.

Umm...i'm not quite sure how to do this, but i'd like to be assigned to a debate...i remember a couple months back i signed up and then i lost my internet access up until now, but i'm back, so i'd like to be able to debate now...how would i do this?
BurnSide
Oct 7 2004, 12:23 AM
Well the system has undergone some changes now mate. You're no longer assigned to debate, instead you browse the debates forum and see if there are any debates that are awaiting debaters that you may be interested in.
For example, right now there is a debate on abortion that has no debaters.
If you'd like to debate in one, simply post your interest, and you'll be signed up. Once two debaters have posted their interest a coin flip will most likely decide who is debating what side, and away you go!

-Should we use marie juana instead of ritalin for kids?
-Should Homeopathic medicine be used by modern doctors?
-Is plastic surgery a improvement or a degradation of the value of the human body?
-Should we modify DNA ? (welcome to Gataca)
-Should we test on animals (medicine, make up ...) ?
-Should we create a machine with a conscience?

I'm so happy my topic is going up...too bad I didn't notice until after two debators were chosen lol, I would have loved to debate that. I gotta stay on my toes around here

I like the debate idea Aztec put up, about a limit on the number of children we have. China has used that process and it directly affects us with our growing population.

Containment vs. preemptive strikes - Example, Colon Powell is for containment while Donald Rumsfeld is for preemptive strikes.
Star Wars project – First Reagan now Bush, does the US need a 400 billion dollar missile defense system?
Global warming - real vs. not real / real but how concerned should we be?
Health care - is it or is not a human right?

All fantastic suggestions, as always it's hard to choose between which i should use to create a debate.
But i've decided to start a new one, based on monkeymanz89 idea of banning videogames. This has been done before but i'd like to see a new approach to it.

Thank you for all the ideas. Keep them coming they're all so great!!

There was somthing on the news earlier...It was called Custom Baby or somthing like that. It's used to examine embryoes for disease but some people are against it because you can also choose gender but the rest are discarded, and those are the pro-life people. I would personally debate for it.

Good idea for a debate Vox!
How about, i set the debate up for you, with you already a participant, and then we'll wait and see if anyone else wants to sign up to debate against you, okay?
Send me a PM stating what side of the argument exactly you want to debate on, i'm a little confused on that. Then i'll get it set up for you.

Has there been any debates regarding Ghosts, UFO's or Psychic Phenomenons? Not that they are debatable, but just curious. I don't think they are debatable...no explained mystery can be debatable...
