I laughed when I saw this one. laugh.gif


Good ideas you guys, I will definitely be using some of them!
Walken
How about some more historical debates? Like...

Was The Great War inevitable by 1914?

The Treaty of Versailles, Right or wrong?

Hitler: Genius or mad-man?

laugh.gif
Mr Ed
They sound good, however I don't think anyone want would to argue for the last one, saying that he was a genius that is. I don't think they would be able to put up much of a fight.
Walken
Mr. Ed, I'd gladly argue that he was a genius against you.
Mr Ed
Walken, you know that I would love the chance to argue with you. However I am prepared to be realistic. For debating you need to research. I am too lazy. Example: At the moment I am doing AS exams and I have only revised for one subject. I am lazy, this is not good I know. However, if you were to start a normal thread saying 'was hitler a genius?' then I would most certainly comment. I don't expect you to do this, I am just saying I am too lazy. Sad I know.
Walken
Okay thumbsup.gif
Mr. Fahrenheit
Did Atlantis Exist?
Cloning: Beneficial or potentially dangerous?
Right to Bear Arms: Should this ammendment still be in Place?*
Does Freedom of Religion exist in Schools?
Do extra-terrestrials exist?
Tupac...Is he dead?laugh.gif

Heres one-

Freedom- A right or a Privalage?
Fox Lupine
Just expanding on this for my buddies in charge

Freedom- a right or a privalage?

Do we/SHOULD we have the RIGHT to freedom? or must the freedom of human beings be carefully controlled? ie- privalage

I'd like to take part, but put it up for everyone- I'm alredy in one and it is my first, so lets see how that goes thumbsup.gif
Walken
I contribute happy.gif

Communism - The path to peace or a threat to freedom?
Stellar
Hey, I got some inspiration from the gender specific society thread... how about a debate on whether to standardise certain genders with certain jobs?
Ziggy Stardust
OBEs - Fact or fiction?

Religion - Counterpart for conflict or bringer of hope?

Kurt Cobain - Murder or Suicide?

Genetic Engineering - good or bad?

Bhuddism or Christianity?

Just my two cents. Some of them may have been done.
Mr Ed
QUOTE

I take it you would be arguing in favour of that then.
Pinowawa1
I know this one is kinda sickening already as it lasted for WEEKSS .. why not start a debate on 'whether MJ is really innocent or not' even though it has been done already.. just for those that are still unsatisied and need to burn some anger out and lay down their judgements ...
LucidElement
im lost, so anyone can make up a Discussion rather a topic on a good debate, and then someone uses it in a debate?? hows it work.
AuntieBigfoot
I'm unsure whether these have been suggested before as I did not want to read through 22 pages of replies..
Here are a few debates that I would find interesting:
1. Should gays/lesbians be allowed to adopt children?
2. Is it unfair to raise cigarette prices since it is our "freedom" to smoke?
And on the animal front..
3. Should Pitbulls be kept as pets?
4. Exotic animals: Pets or wildlife?
I'm sure I can think up some more eventually tongue.gif
Walken
Me and Star Child would like to debate on the subject of George Bush, Anti or Pro.

I will be Pro, she will be anti.

Thank you original.gif
Disinterested
Heya Walken,

The debate is set up. You can start whenever you're ready. thumbsup.gif
Walken
Alrighty, thank you very much original.gif
Ziggy Stardust
How on earth could you be pro for george bush?? he is a very dangerous man.
Mr. Fahrenheit
The patriot act: wrong or right?
Should we still allow hunting/fishing/trapping?
Stem cell research-Wrong/right blah?
Walken

See, this is exactly what I was talking about in the Sufferage for Children thread - They are too easily influenced by propaganda.
Mr. Fahrenheit
I haven't seen him do anything good so far.
Hirotho
9/11: Terrorist v Government Planned (stupid idea, but would be interesting!)

War in Iraq: Right v Wrong

Tutankhamun's Curse: Fiction or Fact?

Should we still be eating meat?

And one for luck:

GM Foods: For better or for worse?
firefemme1202
What's more effective, public or private schools?

Can human's alone destroy the Earth in time, or would we develop ways to live here forever (if no outside force of any kind could harm us).
Hirotho
I'm surprised nobody had done this debate yet:

Life on mars?

Lottie

Do some people take patriotism too far?

Should there be animal testing?

Has science really affected religion?

Should there be greater cencorship of free-to air television shows?
Ashley-Star*Child
I'm still waiting on someone to debate whether textual (or scriptual) evidence supports Heaven being in space.
Hirotho
btw AztecInca the animal testing debate is already going on.

And one debate I'd like to participate in would be 'Should we still be eating meat?', on the 'NO' side, i.t.o

Hirotho

How about : are Age Ratings for Films and T.V programs too loosly regulated and should be more strict? Or are Age regulations perfectly fine?
Mr Ed
I have one:

Are children being sexualised too early on in life, or is it part of cutlure changing? (something like that)
about:blank
I would like to debate with someone the legalization of marijuana in the USA. I would be on the "for legalization" side.

If anyone is serious about this and can give some good evidence yada yada than if you would like this to become a debate I don't see any reason why it couldn't happen.

Let me know, Lottie
AztecInca
Well as I know many people on this site are into video games, there could be many debates, some debates could include.....................

Does Nintendo have a future in the video-games industry?

Are the quality of games still as high as they once were?

Is there enough innovation in todays consoles and games?

etc...........
TaintedDoughnuts
Here's one! Sorry if it's been mentioned/ done before happy.gif

Michael Jackson: was he really innocent, or guilty?
JohnnyBoyC
I would like to debate with Tainted Doughnuts about the Michael Jackson Case. I dont care what side I am on
JohnnyBoyC
I guess that debate might not happen since TaintedDoughnuts is going to Florida for 3 weeks.

Does TaintedDoughnuts want to do this debate? We can sort it out for you when TD gets back thats no problem. Alternatively we can set the debate up and find someone else to debate against you. Let me know. thumbsup.gif
aLiEn_GuY
If TD says he cannot, i will gladly still debate on either side because I am not totally decided whether the jurisdiction of the Case against Michael Jackson was legitimate, so I can easily fill in any part of that debate!
JohnnyBoyC
Excuse me, the post above by aLiEn_GuY was really me,

My brother left his name logged on and i didnt notice. So the above post was not alien_guy
