Would anyone be interested in Debating about GUN-CONTROL LAWS: Right to bear arms?

Or what about The American Presidency: Should it be scrapped?
snuffypuffer
I'd like to see a gun control debate, that would be swell. How about a nature vs nurture debate, as well?
BurnSide
Explain.
snuffypuffer
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.
BurnSide
Ah. Already have that debate going, sort of.

Psychopaths: Born that way or created by society.
snuffypuffer
Oh, thanks then. thumbsup.gif

BurnSide
That's not a bad idea.
PolkaTulk

AztecInca

How about abolish the UN and create a new body/council or keep the current council?
colorless
"Should English be made the official language of the United States?"
BurnSide
There's some great ideas comming up here. I'm gonna wait until the debates that are awaiting debaters get started before starting anymore tho. grin2.gif
jpalz
I don't know if this has been proposed, but the idea is good:

Should abortion be legal?
man_in_mudboots
i would just love to debate weather cannibalism should be grounds for leniency in murder cases. i would, of course, be debating for.

...
...
...

dont look at me like that......
AztecInca

How about a debate on whether the internet has improved our lives or made it worse!
BurnSide
Excellent. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

Currently i'm going to take jpalz 'Abortion' idea. thumbsup.gif
fearfulone
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? dontgetit.gif
BurnSide
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!

In light of our current voting polls, how about a debate concerning For Gay Marriage vs. Against Gay Marriage.
AztecInca
How about should we introduce a limit on how many children people can have, like a world population limit or not?!
Diebytheflyguy
I'm not sure if this was aready mentioned, but, should catholic priests be allowed to marry?
ChrisC098
I dont know if this has ever been done but how about Do Video Games lead to violence.

man_in_mudboots

Shadowsleet
While I'm sure it's already been done, or at least suggested....Fox hunting, for and against?
kikuchiyo
ok here some of my subjection:

-Should hockey players get what they ask for?
-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?

U.S. nuclear proliferation vs. nuclear disarmament - which one is more safe?

Sovereign rights vs. the UN international law - which sould be the true law of the world?
AztecInca

Are people trully aware of the world they live in and everything that is going on around them or not?
BurnSide
These are all fantastic ideas, thank you all for posting them. Keep them coming!

For now, i'm going to be using firefemme1202 suggestion, 'Gay Marriages'.
firefemme1202
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 original.gif

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?

Deimos
don't know if it's been done, but what about Death penalty for minors? and how about the rights of obese people to sue fast food restaurants? Those are some interesting debate topics.
Lochness_hunter
Cockfighting

I would personally like to debate anyone on this subject, because i am for it.
BurnSide
Ask around Loch Hunter, if you can find someone willing to debate against you about the subject, PM me and i'll set the debate up for you both. thumbsup.gif
Deimos
How about wheter or not Humans should be considered animals?
Q-La
Monetary system is the root of all evil?
MonkeyMan
I would definetly start a debate on Mcdonalds: Why should it still exist?

Video Games, why shouldn't they be banned?(I get to say why they shouldn't and you say why they should)
Fugu-Fish
Email v The mighty Pen................ disgust.gif
BurnSide
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. original.gif

Thank you for all the ideas. Keep them coming they're all so great!!
Dog Demon
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.
BurnSide
Well if you wanna find a debate partner and send me a PM i'll be more than happy to set it up personally for you. original.gif
Vox
I would like to debate for free health care. I am seeking an oppenent who will counter my arguments on the general principle that healthcare should not be free. Please drop me a line! I know that there are many of you that do not believe in free health care!!!
BurnSide
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. original.gif

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...

I want to join an interesting debate, still thinking of one...or maybe someone will post one soon...
Dancing_Dumplings
