As China rises on the global stage, worries grow that the Asian autocracy will assert itself militarily by forcefully 'unifying' Taiwan with the mainland. For decades, the United States has maintained a policy of support for Taiwan, a policy which may one day bring us into direct conflict with China. The purpose of this debate is to investigate just how far US support for Taiwan's independence should go.

My position is that LGBT people should have the same adoption rights as non-LGBT people. The con would be that LGBT people should not have the same rights.

My position is that radical left-wing politics is both only a recent, modern phenomena and its current iteration in the United States is not as harmful as radical left-wing movements of the 20th century; and, more importantly, it is less dangerous, long-term, than religious fundamentalism is.

This is for the February debate tournament, please do not accept unless your name is Benjamin Recently Whoopi Goldberg has caught shit for saying the holocaust is not about race. Should she though? This debate is about whether she is right about whether the holocaust was about race. I contend that she is. Let's keep the debate on topic

"Defund the police" became a popular outcry in June 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. Defund means “to withdraw financial support from.” It does not necessarily mean to take away all funding. I will argue in favor of lowering police budgets than what was allocated for fiscal year 2020 (the budget that was agreed upon in 2019) by 5% or more before all the social unrest. In this debate I will be focusing on mid size to large cities across the U.S.

John Bolton, current National Security Adviser and former UN Ambassador, famously argued that international law does not exist, insofar as the doctrines and treaties we often call "law" do not qualify as such. This question has serious implications for how nations can and should act internationally. For the full debate topic and the debate's rules, consult the "full description." Acceptance of this debate constitutes acceptance of these rules. I will argue against Bolton's position.
