Gun Control

Hey guys,

So I havent been posting in a while. But dont judge me! Its only because I thought it wasn't too popular. But then, I saw the overwhelming number of pageviews, and was amazed. So I decided to really devote some time towards this debate blog. So Here is the next topic:

Gun Control

Now this topic has been widely debated all across America, so you can be sure to find some great pieces of evidence on this topic. Now the two basic sides are, Limit gun control, or expand gun control.

Some basic arguments that can be made on both sides include second amendment, self-defense, and abilities of people getting hurt. As we can see, Gun control has an every day effect on people's lives. When debating this topic, it would be great to not only cite evidence, but also make a connection with the judge on an emotional level. For example, how gun control has affected you, how it can be helpful or harmful etc.

Thats all, for now!

New debate topic

Hey guys,

Sorry for not posting in such a long time. I just joined a pretty tough class at school, and it is really killing me. But luckily, this class teaches me all about debate so I can impart my rough knowledge to you. Now what you all have been waiting for: a new debate topic! So the question is this: Should the Federal government expand research and exploration beyond the earth's atmosphere? A question like this can be debate for hours upon hours with 100's of affirmative and negative cases to run. For now here are a few affirmative and negative points for each side.

Affirmative
  • We can avoid space debris crashing into satellites.
  • We can start colonizing the moon.
  • We can direct solar energy from outer space to earth.
  • We can use weapons in space to have an advantage over other countries
But along with these affirmative points, comes many negative points. For example, how much money will this cost? How likely is space debris colliding with sattelites? Is such a powerful weapon too much power for one country? Debate among yourselves!

,Thanks
Kevin
