KKK and God

This প্রবন্ধ is basically about something i keep seeing around the বিতর্ক spot অথবা on other বিতর্ক ফোরাম and it is, in my opinion the rudest and most insulting thing আপনি can do in debate

no I am not talking about swearing

no I am not talking about denying the existence of someone's believes

no I am not even talking about flashing your opponent to distract them

I am talking about the one line comment

some of আপনি may be slightly confused as to why I get so annoyed দ্বারা this so let me clear things up

I have no issue with people bringing up a new point that they have just summed up in a short space, I...

I was going to call them the "Ten Commandments" but felt someone might be offended দ্বারা that (either a religious person thinking I'm blasphemous অথবা a secularist thinking I'm প্রদর্শিত হচ্ছে a bias towards religion. Lose, lose, আপনি see). Also, I couldn't come up with ten rules.

So instead, observe the Golden Rules of the বিতর্ক Spot.

1) RESPECT your fellow debaters. They believe what they do for a reason just like আপনি do. As opposed to simply trying to explain why they're wrong, explain your point of view and LISTEN to theirs. If আপনি find আপনি simply just cannot understand their views, অথবা that they will...

So, many of আপনি are aware of the rumor floating arround that the world will end tonight at 6:00 PM. I just have a few things to say about these "End of The World" theories, becasue they're really getting on my nervs.

I just want to say that first off, for those of আপনি who do belive the world will end tonight, অথবা in 2012, অথবা whatever, I mean no disrespect to you. I also don't mean any disrespect to people's religious beliefs that say the things I'm about to adress.



So, yesterday afternoon I heard that there is yet another prediction for the world ending. First it was the বছর 2000, then the...

This is a বিতর্ক seed, and was last edited on 8 April 2008.

As a অনুরাগী of debate, I've often railed at the absence of actual বিতর্ক in the বিতর্ক spot. Therefore I present a প্রশ্ন for debate:

Are mechanical pencils অথবা wooden pencils better?

Cinders has done a marvelous job of initiating a number of formal limited debates, so I propose a different type of বিতর্ক format for this one. For this, the Great Pencil Debate, the following বিতর্ক attributes will apply:

Non-judged

Open-ended

Participatory

Moderated

What these mean:

Non-judged is a বিতর্ক format wherein there are no judges...

In our world today, global warming is a growing issue. Global warming (according to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary) is an increase in the earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely predicted to occur due to an increase in the greenhouse effect resulting especially from pollution. This means we must take action. This is a method commonly known as "going green." We do this দ্বারা riding bikes, using public transportation, reycleing, and much more. This is common for big cities like New York City, New York অথবা Chicago, Illionois- but what about the smaller towns?



I live in Joplin,...
