Most of us can hold our own in a debate when the topic is something we strongly agree with. The question is, can you debate something you may not completely agree with.

For this contest, you will pick any topic that is debate worthy and choose the side that you agree with. Set that side somewhere to the side for some other day, because today you stand for the side you may not agree with.

For example, lets say you are for gay marriage. You are going to do a debate against gay marriage.

Any length, any topic, any rating is acceptable, but keep in mind this is a debate. Winners will be chosen by content. Your spelling and such may not be perfect, but in this contest what truly matter is the content. How well can you debate a topic you don't agree with.

Here's a few suggestions for topics. Use one of these or come up with one of your own. It can be something major, or even something minor, just back it up with facts. While your opinion matters, you need facts to prove your case.

Example topics are:

gay marriage

religious issues

sexism

abortion

dogs make better pets than cats (or vice versa)

anything that you can debate is allowed here, so lets see how well you can debate a topic you don't completely agree with. If I could do it a few years ago in a high school Honor's English class, you can do it now. Have fun.
