This is to continue Waterphoenix's debate. I think pineapples should be allowed to be on pizza even if I don't like it and I hate it.

Virtuoso approached me about doing a live debate. We settled on the topic of compulsory national service. I will be taking the Pro position. I believe this will be DART's first-ever live format debate. Acceptance of this debate constitutes acceptance of all the rules and conditions in the full description.

A lot of celebrities in the west have resorted to cosmetic surgery to enhance their body parts in the most un-natural way(Eg:-breast and buttocks enhancement in females and penis enlargement surgeries in males). Main streaming of such un-natural practises poses a great threat to socities across the globe and should be banned.

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.
