All the explanation needed.Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
POSITION: Yes, they were a social crime. I do not mean that in terms of the architects being put in prison or something silly like that, but I would certainly contend that they were instrumental in forging a large percentage of the recreant youth of today.

"Muscovy", as its rulers have previously called it, is a sleeping giant, with age-old traditions and ways of doing things. Here, the feudal way of life has become so entrenched that the serfs are as tied to the land as cattle, and with almost as few rights. It is a vast, deeply conservative and religious country: Mother Russia and the Orthodox Church are the two pillars of national belief. The Tsar may be the father of his people, but by tradition and practice he is a stern parent. Ivan the Terrible was well named, and he has not been the only ruler with an iron will. Russia is the "Third Rome". The last bastion of Orthodox Christianity.

A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.
A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga- The pranks played on the knight Jean de Joinville, 1249, 7th crusade.I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.

Topic: The Holodomor - Genocide, or a colossal accident?
Detail: A number of countries across the world, including the USA officially consider the Ukrainian famine of the 1930s a genuine attempt at genocide - in that the Soviet regime selectively sought to eliminate the Ukrainian race.
Position: I believe the Holodomor was not an act of Genocide, and furthermore its impact has been grossly exaggerated.

Re: CHALLENGE THREAD -- Issue a challenge here
Due to an untimely forfeiture in the Freedom of Speech debate, I am looking for another opponent. Of course, should my honorable opponent change his mind, then you'll have to find someone else.
I'm sure that most, if not all of us, support freedom of expression. It is a fundamental element of human freedom. But freedom, of natural necessity, has limits. To what extent should people be able to express themselves? Should this freedom extend to repulsive, discriminatory, and even blatantly false opinions? If these are to be forbidden, who decides whether an opinion is legal or not, and how do they reach this decision?
We have all seen the extremes. On the one hand history shows brutal police states, where dissent is forbidden and people must choose their words carefully. On the other hand, we also have seen those who abuse others with their rights, take the most extreme and unsupportable opinions, and provoke their fellow men.
Where do we draw the line? Is there a line at all?
My position is that of complete freedom from restraint, on principle.

Topic: Should the sentencing for non-violent crimes be much more lenient?
Details: It's a very controversial issue, and should crimes that are non-violent in nature have a decrease in jail penalty or less severity on sentences?
Position:I am for the leniency of sentencing for non-violent crimes.
Topic: Should there be ANY mandatory minimum sentences?
Details: The mandatory minimum sentences are sentences that are mandatory to give on the ones who break laws.
Position:I believe that mandatory minimum sentences lower the discretion of the judge, so I am against.

Re: CHALLENGE THREAD -- Issue a challenge here
I may as well try this out.
I would like to challenge anyone on one of the following:
The role of religion in schools or should the USA spend so much money in military spending or what to do with Iran or that nulcear weapons are or aren't obsolete.
TOPIC: Role Of Religion In Western Education Systems.
DETAILS: Different schools teach different things in regards to religion.
POSITION: I believe that schools should teach about all the major religions today + atheism, their role in society and history and inform kiddies about the different belief systems to help kids make their own choice.
TOPIC: USA Military Spending In Comparison to The Rest Of The World.
DETAILS: At present, the USA accounts for roughly 41% of military spending in the world, yet has roughly 5% of the world's population.
POSITION: I believe this level of expenditure is justified and that the US deserves to be in this position.
TOPIC: What Should Be Done With Iran?
DETAILS: Iran is classified as a rogue state and has made clear it's hate for Israel, the West and the UN fear that Iran is developing nuclear weapons, which may cause a 2nd Holocaust and/or a Middle-East arms race.
POSITION: I believe that the USA and her allies should covertly destroy/steal any nukes held by Iran and that the West and their supporters should help de-stabilise the Tehran regime.
TOPIC: Should Nuclear Weapons Be Forbidden
DETAILS: The world posses countless nuclear weapons and that an increasing amount of nations are either obtaining them or are planning to. Not all nations are stable and cool-heaed.
POSITION: I believe that nuclear weapons shouldn't be banned, merely their use should be placed to a handful of responsible powers.
