Opinion #1
Debater: paraquat99
What about the physically and mentally disabled? Who do they turn to?
OK, fine, no Social Security for elderly folks who are still able-bodied or, even, didn't save for their "golden years". But what about Social Security for people born with lifelong disabilities that prevent them from ever working? What about parapalegics, the retarded, the limbless, broken veterans who served in wars like Iraq? How about children whose parents have died but who paid into the system while they were alive and working. Forget hobos, deadbeats, slackers and apathetics who don't want to work and save for their own retirements. What about those who never had a chance to do so because of mental and/or physical limitations? Who assists them financially when family, friends and charities cannot? Do we send them into the streets or pay taxpayer funds to throw them in asylums and institutions like the "good 'ol days"? You tell me...
Opinion #2
Debater: Jtaylor1
We should not let the disabled steal money from the Treasury
Social Security hurts the US Dollar and we should suspend it until the Treasury gets back on it's feet. People with disabilities who take a chunk of money out of the treasury is considered stealing and forgery. If the disabled who is unable to get a job, they should be locked up in prison or in a mental institute. Social Security and democracy is a disgrace. America should have became a socialist state like the People's Republic of China after WWII. Socialism will help regain the Dollar and eliminate Social Security.

Welcome to YouDebateIt.com
This is the place for debate with an added element of friendly competition. This is a debating and essay resource and practice tool, not a debating society or club. There are no complicated rules, but these debates have structure. Each debate consists of a topic with two opposing views.

These are short essays limited to about 150-165 words. Present your strongest argument the first time, since you can't go back to change it--as with the National Forensic League and other speech and debate formats. Read these debates, then vote for your favorite arguments.

These debates are fun, informative and give exposure to all sides of the issues. Most debates will be archived (arguments that are obscene or offensive may be deleted). The better and more interesting debates will be featured.
