December Eminent Domain debate: CON - Opening.

posted by Sappp

Let us debate!

Should projects involving eminent domain require citizen approval?

No, projects involving eminent domain should NOT require citizen approval.

Let me first state that eminent domain is not a nice rule. I understand that people would want a say in that.

However, that law is there to do things for the public good. People hardly think about the public good when it is about their own property.

Allowing some form of citizen approval would slow down the governments plans, which cost money that the citizens pay. A government should be able to work as efficient as possible with the laws that are in place.

Sappp I apologize this is a bit short. (for those of you who have no idea what this is about read [url=http://www.fanpop.com/spots/debate/articles/7516]this[/url].)

ShadowFlame Are we going to be writing a soapbox for every "come-back"? My schedule for this holiday break won't allow me to do that...in the least. Now I don't know what to say... ...

Cinders It's the twenty-fourth and unfortunately our side hasn't posted anything. Does Sappp win by default?

Sappp Shadowflame: You're come-backs should be in the counter-arguments rounds I think. Cinders: This is from Harold's explanation: 'Forfeiting If the statement, argument or counter-argument is not posted by the mutually agreed-upon deadline, that team will have forfeited that round and must cover for that error with the other rounds (if any remain). Note that this may not mean that your team will lose the debate, if the other rounds are compelling enough to the debate audience. Winning is determined by the fiat of the mob.' So, you now must incorporate the opening in round 1, I guess. :( Too bad you weren't able to post your opening.

BLACK RACISM. (And the other types no one cares about.)

posted by pandawinx

Hate these guys- then why act like them?

Racism is terrible, on a par with sexism and homophobia, fifty years yang lalu (and sometimes now!) the country anda where born in could effect the quality of your education, your chances of promotion atau even employment, weather anda would be allowed on TV and even who your allowed to marry.

Luckily though thanks to Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and a whole host of protesters, African-Americans have a lot lebih rights than they did 50 years ago, along with any other discriminated races.
But somehow, i think people are abusing the rights Ms.Park and thousands of others have fought for after she sat on...

I just cinta this clip because it's true. They cut him off mid-sentence, so the last line is: "It's scary because sadly, you're all racist."

On Religion and debat

posted by Cinders

It's been berkata that those who don't accept Biblical atau Koranic atau whatever support in a non-religious argument are being close-minded and intolerant of their beliefs. I've stated many times why I do not accept religious arguments, and it has nothing to do with being intolerant of those beliefs. So I decided I'd state here once and for all why I feel religious reasons do not belong in a debat (unless that debat is about religions).

First of all, I'd just like to state that obviously religion is a major thing in the lives of a lot of people in the world. I agree with Obama in that I don't believe...

Against Gay Marriage? I Hear You. I Understand. But Here Is Where anda Lose Me.

posted by Cinders

I respect most religious beliefs, mostly because I have a deep respect for the grounds they stand on. Those are very sacred grounds, with roots in history, culture, and philosophy. And these beautiful things are nothing to sneer at. People forget sometimes that this is where religion comes from, that we are religion as much as we are history.

I will always fight for a person's right to practice and believe in anything that feels right to them in their soul, so long as in practicing that religion, they do not infringe upon the rights of others to do the same. In my time, both on fanpop and off...

Teach For America and iPads

posted by Cinders

This is quite possibly the first in a series of rants on my part concerning the organization, link and its place in the current education debat in the US. So, anda know, keep an eye out, if only so anda can avoid those rants when anda see them in your updates.

I want to start with an anecdote. A fellow baru saja Masters in Teaching grad and I were going to one of our favorit restaurants in the city. On the same block is an apel, apple store. I saw some Teach For America (TFA) sign in the window, rolled my eyes, and followed my friend into the restaurant. I should note that when I saw this, my University...

An Analysis of the Development of Women’s Education in Afghanistan

posted by Cinders

Preface: This was my final paper for one of my college courses at the universitas of Washington. Considering baru saja conversations on this spot, I decided to share it. I take no offense if no one reads it completely - it's an academic paper, not a tweet atau a facebook status update, so I know it's long and wordy. Lastly (and this should go without saying) Plagiarism rules apply, and this is easily searchable on the Interwebs so, anda know, be smart.

Why is the education of women important to development?

According to the UN Arab Human Development laporan from 2005, “an Arab renaissance cannot be...

Various kutipan on the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict

posted by Cinders

"For a long time I've been operating from a certain core assumption that we are all essentially the same inside, and that our differences are oleh and large situational. That goes for everybody— Bush, Bin Laden, Tony Blair, me, you… Palestinians, everybody of any particular religion. I know there is a good chance that this assumption actually is false. But it's convenient, because it always leads to pertanyaan about the way privilege shelters people from the consequences of their actions. It's also convenient because it leads to some level of forgiveness, whether justified atau not."
