Is therapy helpful?

It seems everywhere you look there are people in therapy. But is it a good thing, or does talking about your problems only make them last longer?more...

bros before hos.

The trials and tribulations of the human heart are at once universal and universally boring. Almost every relationship endures the same set of problems, which is why it is so curious that no one has found the map for definitively navigating the most nagging gripe of the modern S.O. -- me...or you...more...

A new top level domain for global good

Can introducing a new top level domain with all websites using the domain either contributing to a social/enviro fund or committing a percent of revenues to good causes help solve converging global challenges? more...

Is adding new Top Level Domains good for the future of the internet?

Is the introduction of many new web addresses ending in names such as .newyork or .travel good or bad news for the Internet's future?more...

The internet should not be traffic neutral

Ten percent of internet users hog 75% of internet bandwidth, leading to slower download speeds for everyone else. Those uploading videos and high-resolution photos to multimedia sharing sites like Flickr and YouTube effectively slow down the speed at which everyone else can check their e-mail. So...more...

Belief in Freewill is essential for a functional society

Even if we find it impossible to prove freewill scientifically, like altruism it is a essential concept for us to believe in, as paradoxically, if we did not believe we have a choice, I,m sure it would effect our behaviour in a negative way and deminish hope in people.more...

The Large Hadron Collider is a fantastic step forward for the human race

At CERN just outside Geneva in Switzerland, a very large (28km) experiment is underway to replicate the big bang and find out what happened at the beginning of time. Assuming it's successful this experiment will answer the big question of how life began, a great leap in knowledge for the human ...more...

Selflessness Is Selfish

Everyone is selfish no matter what. This is because selflessness isn’t even possible. The choice to ever be “selfless” will always be driven by a form of serving one’s self? No person chooses to be selfless because THEY absolutely hate it or are against doing it. People choose to be selfless beca...more...

Vegetarianism can save the world from global warming and poverty

If everyone stopped eating meat or cut down considerably we would....... 1. cut CO2 emmisions which means global warming will be reduced. 2. reduce land degredation this means that land would not be destroyed beyond repair. 3. Reduce water pollution, through run-off i.e hormones getting into...more...

Alcohol and drugs are an integral part of student life.

Arguably this question is irrelevant, as people who want to indulge will always find a way to indulge; this debate seeks more to explore the advantages and disadvantages that a hedonistic lifestyle can bring at university.more...

Macs are better than PCs

They're shiny, expensive and have something of a cult following, but are they actually any better than PCs?more...

The minimum driving age should be raised to 18

Young drivers cause many fatal accidents; raising the minimum age at which people can drive will reduce this and be a benefit to society.more...

Basic income tax should be abolished

It is time to scrap the entire system of income tax and more to a sales taxed system, the more you buy the more tax you pay.more...

Girls are better than Boys

This is a topic which has challenged all the great philosophers, scientists, doctors, and great thinkers alike. Girls are better than boys.more...

Civil disobedience can be justified

There are times when breaking the law is justified. more...

Celebrities who commit drug-related offences should be punished more harshly than non-celebrities.

Celebrities are everywhere in modern society, and this cannot be denied. Their antics, be it drink-driving or drug-taking, make the front pages of newspapers and are discussed on the Web. But should we punish them more harshly for drug (legal and illegal) abuse?more...

Debatewise users can't use the website properly

Are users using this site to its full potential - people are writing in the 'for' column, when their argument is against the motion. Is this a design flaw or a flaw in the brains of the website's demographic?more...

Adult incest should be legalised

Though still a highly taboo subject throughout many cultures, it is unfair and narrow minded to discriminate against, and prohibit, consenting adults from practising incest, just as it is unfair and narrow minded to discriminate against or prohibit those who practise homosexual relationships.more...

Britain should introduce a new Bank Holiday

Bank holidays - everybody loves them don't they? Let's have more then! The UK currently has 8 bank holidays each year. We would actually stand to benefit from an extra day off; it is not just an unfeasible dreammore...

"men who have had sex with men" should be allowed to give blood

The phrase "men who have had sex with men" is used by the National Blood Service, who bar men who have ever had sex with another man from giving blood. Are they right in doing this?more...

Basic income tax should be abolished

It is time to scrap the entire system of income tax and more to a sales taxed system, the more you buy the more tax you pay.more...

Capital Punishment should be used in the UK

Repeat offender murderers. "Life sentence" convicts released after six years. There is little deterrent for severe crime in the UK, this has to change.more...

There should be more restrictions for males on 'going topless' in pulic.

As the summer months role around we will all be seeing more and more of it; men wandering around towns with their shirts off. Is it unsightly or a celebration of masculinity? Is it an expression of freedom or of vanity? Should it even be allowed?more...

Everyone should automatically be opted into an organ donation scheme

more...

I believe Parapsychology makes a valuable contribution to Science

I believe Parapsychology makes a valuable contribution to Science as it looks at some of the difficult and interesting questions other areas of science may find too embarrassing to take on.more...

Means-tested tuition fees should be introduced for state schools

Many reasonably wealthy parents send their children to state schools on principle. Maybe this is admirable, but it means that families who would be prepared to pay more for their child's education end up paying little. If they sent their children to private school, on the other hand, they would b...more...

University education needs to be capped and more selective

With thousands more students graduating from university every year, Britain has more graduates than ever before, and it is becoming harder for potential employers to distinguish candidates by education alone, meaning a degree has less and less value in the workplace.more...

Obesity is a symptom of various medical/psychological conditions

Many people believe that Obesity is a result of the human race getting lazier and eating too much junk food. I will argue that it is far more insidious than that. There are many, varied causes of obesity and each should be treated differently.more...

Will improving access to contraception lower the number of teenage pregnancies?

more...

Parents of obese children be prosecuted with neglect.

If a child is malnourished it is classed as child abuse but if I child is obese the parents are rarely blamed. This discrepancy makes little sense when the health risks faced by obesity are indisputable. Researchers claim that being over weight greatly increases the risk of heart attack and strok...more...
