Description
America's society, politics, and economy are flawed. The center of the world will soon be a landslide. America's current system will lead to the downfall of the country if the status quo continues.
Round 1
Hello and thank you for accepting this debate.
Burden of Proof
By listing bad things about America, or vise versa, you are supporting your side.
Contentions
America's messed up. With an outdated Constitution, laws prohibiting women to do what they want with their bodies, and frequent mass shootings that kill upwards of hundreds of people each year. This list goes on and on. In addition, America's president is a total bomb. He's offensive, racist, and overall just a terrible president.
Thank you.

Round 2
Let's jump right into it.
Contentions
Example: Guns
When the Constitution was made, guns shot 2-3 bullets a minute, and maybe they would hit something? Now a gun can easily empty a mag in under 5 seconds and kill many people at once.
I think this is pretty self explanatory. False claims about Obama, offensive comments/tweets about high ranking politicians and officials, the list goes on and on.
Thank you.

Round 3
Hello once again. Let's jump right into this...
Contentions
In 2016 alone, America experience over 37 000 deaths! Relating back to my previous contentions, this is because American's constitution hasn't been updated with today's terms. In fact, America right now has on average 1.2 guns per person!
Why can't we let a woman decide what she wants to do with her own body? If she isn't prepared to handle a child, then it'll only make matters worse for the child and the parent.
Thank you.

Round 4
My opponent has sadly forfeited most of the debate for unknown reasons. I trust that your judgement for the winner will need no further explanation. Thank you.
