Is racism a naturally occurring feeling in humanity? Or is it only developed under certain circumstances? And if it is natural is the person then not at fault?
Medicine has been continually improving, with people living better, 'healthier' lives, but is this really a good thing? Is it good to live longer? Are we right in allowing people with illnesses to live?
Whether you are religious or not, would you convert to a different religion on threat of death? Would you be willing to die for what you believe in? Also, what if the threat of death was somebody else? Would you convert to save their life?
Whilst some drugs are more powerful and potentially harmful than others, does this truly give them the right to be banned? Should people be given the ability to do what they want with their bodies? But if they are allowed who sells them? Could it lead to an ineffecient workforce?
Fellow CreateDebate-ers, I come to you in a time of great peril. All around us, non-English spam debates are springing up from multiple accounts, clogging our feeds with repeated debate topics.
What should we do? How can we stop these tyrants before they ruin the site?
Many viewpoints try to explain how life began (life being living things), but are they correct? Are religious explanations more logical than secular ones? How did life begin?
Money obviously plays a large role in our lives, but is it a good thing or a bad thing? Does it do more harm than good? Would the world be a better place without it?
Are we to blame if we commit a crime? Or was it simply pre-determined that the crime would have been committed, and we were instead following the set plan of life?
For example, if you go to bed and see the time, would it be any different to if you slept *without* looking at the time? Can time be affected by knowledge of itself?
Does every crime deserve the same punishment, regardless of the person in question? Or should they be made proportional (ie two speeding men get charged a % of their income, rather than them both paying £30 regardless of their wealth)?
Everybody finds moral salvation in different forms, but how did you find yours? Were they from a religion, a philosopher or yourself? And more importantly WHY do you follow them? Is it for the benefit of others or yourself?
The a poor man being fined for £200 the same as a rich man being fined the same? Or a man with little fun in life being sentenced to death, in comparison to a man with a family to live for?
Smoking could be argued to be counter-productive, harmful to others (second hand smoking) and shorten one's life... but it is done out of choice. Should it be allowed or should it be banned?
From what I have seen, the majority of atheists continually go on about evolution and see it as the ultimate solution to a religion-free world. Is this justified? Or do they idolise it too much?
Assuming a superman-type person emerges and you have the chance to dispose of him (highly hypothetical) would you? Also assume there are no repercussions for the murder and you only have a day to decide so you can't see how the superman acts.
Would you kill it in order to save humanity from a potentially indestructible killing machine? Or instead hope it turns into a good guy and benefits the world?
The decision is yours... So what would you do?
Many people say their ideas define them, but how valuable are they really? Would you renounce a held belief in return for a billion dollars? Or to save a life?
Many people stigmatise terroists as pure evil, though in reality they are fighting for a cause they believe in. Does this garner respect? Or are they simply absent minded and undignified?
