+Paranoid Android Posted May 18, 2006 #576 Share Posted May 18, 2006 (edited) A couple more suggestions: Are our lives/society getting faster? Is technology invading our lives? Should children own mobile phones? This next one, I'm not really sure how to word it, so here's the bestI've been able to come up with: The ethics of Cyborg technology - Should cyborg technology research (pacemakers, artificial limbs, cochlear implants, etc) be expanded to enhance the lives of healthy people (better hearing/sight/intelligence for example), or should it be restricted to helping the sick and disabled only. And a similar question to the one above: Eugenics - should we engingeer/create "super-humans"? Edited May 18, 2006 by Paranoid Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tengu Posted May 18, 2006 #578 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Not sure if this one has been done or not... I'd love to see a debate on the tactics the government is using in the Patriot Act to keep us 'safe'. I had this discussion the other day with a friend of mine. Reading our emails, listening in on telephone conversations....Should this be used to protects us from terrorism or is it just the government's way of spying on American Citizens? Are we losing our freedom or is it worth giving it up to keep another 9/11 from happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted May 19, 2006 #579 Share Posted May 19, 2006 just saying... there haven't been any new debates on the board now for quite a while. We have been setting up new debates but we just aren`t getting people signing up and many of the current debates are ending with one of the participants either pulling out or just not bothering to post at all. Anyway many of these suggestions are very good and I shall go about setting a couple of them up as debate topics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know much about the details, and we don't want to get caught in the middle of one debate when the comp starts.

the14u2cee Posted May 20, 2006 #581 Share Posted May 20, 2006 KEITH RICHARDS: dead and don't know it? or just naturally dead looking... LOL Ok, being serious, i have seen a couple good one's some of us have put up so i'll just add a couple more: What is the nature of reality? Should murder's be executed on live T.V? Creation VS evolution? Cloning VS God's will? Immigration- let them in VS keep them out? There's a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecInca Posted May 20, 2006 #582 Share Posted May 20, 2006 A lot of the regular debators are waiting for the Tournament. We don't know much about the details, and we don't want to get caught in the middle of one debate when the comp starts. Well, I don't at least I came to that conclusion myself PA and I assure you that the tournament will be set-up as soon as possible. We were firstly just waiting for all the debate league debates to be completed which did take awhile. Secondly Jen and I are just completing our first semester of University and had to finish up all of our assignments. I`m on my final one before exams and will be finished within a day or two. Onec that is completed I shall go talk to Saruman about setting up this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamboIII Posted June 1, 2006 #590 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Yes I was just about to suggest the Da Vinci Code... But I think you should debate factors of the code, not the actual movie/book's events and conclusions. Also, how deeply have you debated evolution? I think debates over where humans came from or whether evolution even exists or not would be interesting topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyclive Posted June 3, 2006 #593 Share Posted June 3, 2006 How about something to do with the rise of China? Maybe something like: China's rise cause for concern or celebration? (NB Although my profile says Country China I'm not Chinese I'm just living here at the moment. In other words I'm not suggesting this because of a strange patriotic urge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinowawa1 Posted June 15, 2006 #594 Share Posted June 15, 2006 1. Nature Vs. Nurture (we have probably had it already) 2. Do the benefits of animal experiments outweigh the stress we put them under? 3. Is Psychology scientific or not? 4. Was Sigmund Freud 'insane' or was he just really clever?
