I’m not an incel in any way, but after doing a lot of research on the infamous community there’s a clear distinction on what we’ve been told about them and what they actually are.

Jury nullification is a fascinating phenomenon, and the significant level of controversy surrounding it makes it ripe for debate. Hence, this challenge--it should be fun. For the full debate topic, definitions, the debate's rules, consult the "full description." Acceptance of this debate constitutes acceptance of these rules and definitions.

This is an old LD topic that's more relevant now than ever. Medical issues like gender-affirming care and vaccinations split families, with the welfare of the child on the line. Should the child whose welfare is at stake have a say? Should we emphasize parental rights? How do we manage this schism?

Is religion harmful? Rules of the debate are: 1. Don't use logical fallacies. 2. No swearing or name calling. 3. Give evidence, and not feelings. 4. Stay on topic. 5. Give counter arguments. 6. Don't be stupid. 7. Don't be fool. Good luck.
