CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.

When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
A hot dog is a sandwich because it is a piece of meat that lies between two rolls of bread. If i order a turkey sub from jimmy johns its the Same type of objects with different materials, both have bread, and meat. Therefore a hot dog is a sandwich so long as it is in between two pieces of bread otherwise its just a sausage.
This could go either way. But it seems to me the type of people who insist by definition it can't be a sandwich are also the type who would insist you must never ever put ketchup on a hotdog. Which bothers me. It bothers me enough I think I'll start a separate debate about it.
Hey. It's meat. It's in the middle of bread. It's a sandwich.
An open sandwich, also known as an open face/faced sandwich, bread baser, or tartine consists of a single slice of bread with one or more food items on top. Wikipedia
Want to add anything new to your argument? I showed you how it does, and an example of one. The definition of sandwich, is pressed between two.(basically). If food (namely a hotdog or some salami) is sandwiched between two halves of bread, to say it's not a sandwich is just denying the definition, and is wrong.
To be a sandwich, It has to consist of two slices pieces of bread. That means unconnected parts. If I take a piece of paper and then bend it in half, is it now two pieces? No.
The picture you showed me, was a singular item, so it is not a sandwich.
Congrats you proved that slices of bread make a sandwich. When do you plan on proving that food stuffed between two bread halves is not a sandwich. I am pretty certain (not using sarcasm, I didn't re read my own argument so I'm not 100% certain) that I asked, what rule of sandwiches states that the slices must be separate?
The sandwich part, is being pressed between two other people or things. It may be one solid slice, but it is pressed between the two halves that extend out. You can sandwich a hotdog between two halves of bun or bread.
Have you ever had a sub that is eaten as a light meal? Most subs are rather large, the reason one orders half a sub. Is half a sub a sandwich? I'm so confused. Thanks Uncle Joe.
When I hear the word 'hot dog', I automatically think of a sausage stuffed in a bun. When I hear the word 'sandwich', I automatically think of two pieces of bread with a little something in between them. There is CLEARLY a difference between a hot dog and a sandwich.
That's like saying, 'Let's call chicken 'fish' because they're both meat.'
