2007 November/December Lincoln Financial Group/NFL LD Debate Topic

Resolved: In the United States, plea bargaining in exchange for testimony is unjust.

For future use... I like it so far... I think.

This is it, the one for September and October, apparently, which I saw when I went to check the November-December one (which hasn't come out).

Resolved: A just society ought not use the death penalty as a form of punishment.

WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!?!?!

This is just as skewed as eminent domain!!!!! They'd better not put such a crappy topic for us in Nov- ( Read more... )

Upon closer observation of the cover of the final Harry Potter book, I noticed that Harry's wearing a locket. I'm sure a lot of people have already noticed this, but what does this mean, exactly? Is the locket the real one of the fake one? If it IS the real one, has it been destroyed or is Harry somehow using it to negotiate with Voldemort? I think ( Read more... )

Ron will be killed. He will end up sacrificing himself for Harry, as his best friend.

Either Fred or George will die. More likely Fred, because it makes the ending more meaningful.

Harry's scar is a Horcrux, but Harry will NOT die at the end. He'll destroy Voldemort, but will either live with the scar or somehow get rid of it. The last word of the ( Read more... )

Capital punishment desensitizes our society.

Our justice system’s imperfections cause the innocent to be executed.

Hi, I’m Meredith.

Hedan: When we were little, our parents told us about the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus, and we believed it, partly because we trusted our parents, and partly because we liked the extra presents we got on Christmas and the money we got from our lost teeth. If we “knew” the truth, then good-bye presents and money…

I just got a flame. :D

sux, lily's completlley out of character

I just saw Saddam's hanging on youtube. I don't know what was wrong with me, but I just was "curious" (if that's the right word to use) about it. I heard so many people talk about it and wanted to see for myself. It was absolutely horrifying, and I know it happens in movies all the time, but as he was hung, it occurred to me that this was a real ( Read more... )
