If you tried to vote on debate.org it wouldn't let you and list the requirements, here it lets you vote anyway and then mods come and remove your votes because you didn't follow the guidelines, talk about a lazy downgrade much.

I think it doesn't, basing on the studies that I found. Rules of the debate. 1. Don't troll or name call. 2. Don't use logically fallacies. 3. Don't waste anyone's time. 4. Bring good arguments. 5. Stay on topic. Benediximus! (Latin for good luck.)

Laws are not perfect if you make the drinking age 18 15 year olds will find a way to drink if you make it 21 18 year olds will sneak a drink many restrictions are onerous because they put a limit on a persona freedom but if you make something illegal you might not eliminate it but you will reduce it

Nordic nations are often referred to as Democratic Socialist , well a Rose by any other name, I will concede they are not Socialist , their economies are for the most part not state run , and are totally market friendly in some ways more than the USA economy , but they have generous welfare and labour measures and protect workers and emphasize a good quality of life, some call tis social democracy , but the term isn't important, what is important is that the Nordic Model makes capitalism work

Hello everyone! Today I would like to make the case for classical Theism, that is the case for God. This question has been debated throughout all of history and so it is quite an honor to continue this great conversation and build upon it in the present day. DO NOT join if you have an agnostic view of God/do not have evidence for the position that God does not exist. I have done these debates on debate.org, but It seems that site is plagued by trolls lately. To Truth! -logicae
