Still looking for that third debate of mine.

My reply is also up.

Your response was nicely done, btw!

Thank you!

I very much like your statement also.

I have just entered my second statement.

My opening in the Federation is a Communist Utopia? Debate is up.

I believe I have perhaps watched more ST than you, vkey08. Just MHO.

The closing statement from me is up on "Challenge Match; beezzer vs Daaskapital Performance enhancing drugs in sports"

Welcome Aboard okiecowboy ! The debate I'm in right now will soon come to a close and I will then be available for a new one. If you're interested, it'd be fun to have a match with you.

Just came back from reading the current debates. Awesome fun folks. The Reincarnation Debate is spectacular. The Star Trek debate is hilarious. And the others are great too. Support these debaters, go in and star and flag their debates if you like them. Link to them in ATS threads if they match the topic.

Debate Ideas – Up to date List

As new Fighters are joining the ranks (waves hand at daaskapital and okiecowboy) I thought it might be a good idea to bring back the numerous debate ideas that were proposed by members – within this thread.

Here is a recap:

The US space program needs more funding.

There is no proof of Sasquatch.

God does not exist.

The issue of Same-Sex Marriage Equality should be a Federal Legislation.

The decision to enter into a war should be determined by national general election.

Congressional lobbying should be prohibited.

The celibacy requirement for the Catholic Church's Clergy should be lifted.

The NWO. Really here to take over and enslave us, or the undeniable future of mankind?

Is the afterlife/heaven/hell real?

Are sports and entertainment just created to distract us from fixing the true problems of the world?

Is the world really overpopulated?

Canada cutting ties with Iran was the right decision.

The weather is not normal.

Animal die-offs are normal.

NASA is a disinformation agency.

Physics trumps Philosophy.

Some beliefs are so dangerous that it may be ethical to kill people for believing them.

The portrayal of the modern male hero has improved in the last few decades of modern cinema.

Modern super hero vigilantes are positive role models

Violence in the media does not influence our youth negatively.

Homosexuality should not be on free to access television before 9pm.

Hyper masculine portrayals of male action heroes are just as sexist as sexualised portrayals of women.

The music industry is run by [insert secret org here].

Pop and rock stars should not be involved in politics.

Super hero films are a direct reflection of changing gender roles in society.

Tyler Durden was 'right' about society in the film Fight Club.

Celebrity actors are less powerful today than they were 20 years ago.

The comedy channel is more powerful in the sphere of politics than the news media.

The global media has reached such a pervasive size that humans can no longer know what is real.

Is atheism a religion? Yay or nay?

It is unethical to wear fur.

A child's behaviour is influenced negatively by video games.

We are responsible for our own sexuality.

Religion and science do not oppose one another.

Trying to communicate with distant aliens is irresponsible.

Smoking should be banned.

We need more male high school and primary school teachers.

Pyramids: End result of normal cultural evolution or worldwide proof of ET visitation?

I weep for the utter beauty of this debate!
