Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

Another one of my past debate topics.
 Resolved: As a general principle, individuals have an obligation to value the common good above their own interests. I haven't completely chosen a side for this just yet. Even if you do help the community, for example, contributing to stopping a flood, you are still helping yourself for survival. I think I just decided to take the individual side on this. Sometimes if you take everyone into consideration, you get off track, or get pulled down. Haha I hope no one thinks I'm selfish for saying this, though. |
