http://www.habboxwiki.com/wiki/images/1/16/Debatestransparent.gif (http://www.habboxwiki.com/Debates_Leader)


If you have any debate ideas, please post them in this thread! The debates leader will then evaluate whether he thinks the debate is a good one and it may then be used in one of our future official debates.

Please use the following format:

Your topic name:
Debate Question:
Brief Description

The best debates are those that are current and of interest to the forum demographic, something that can appeal to teenagers between the age range of 11-20. Please only post real world ideas for debates, not anything specifically related to Habbo and / or the forum.

Any posts that do not suggest an idea for a debate will be removed, and you will receive a polite PM asking you not to do it again. The thread will also get cleared every now and again by the debates leader, so that more fresh ideas can get posted!

If you make a particularly good suggestion, or your debate gets used - you will receive a 20 reputation points!

Happy Debating :)!

Brief Description: there has been a lot focus in the press about the role of social networking and technology in the recent riots. do you think these mediums helped the criminal rioters/looters group together, organise activity and find the easiest places to loot or did they hinder them: allowing the police to communicate effectively with large regions instantly.

[ShaunDreclin]

Your topic name:Striking and Unions
Debate Question/Any other questions you'd like to raise:Should people be allowed to strike without getting fired? Whats your opinion on unions in general?
Brief Description:Just something I've always found interesting. A union is basically the boss of the employer, able to refuse working whenever they want more money.I've seen the power abused in many places and I'm surprised they're still allowed to strike like this.Quoting my mum, "You can't fire a teacher."

[Andii]

Adoption for gay couples

should adoption be for gay couples aswell as straight ones???

[Samantha]

Not sure if you've done one of these before and Andii; will agree:

Is it right to kill animals for your own benefit?
Basically, is it right to kill animals purely for materials, food etc (put your own benefit as I didn't know how to word it).

[Andii]

O I do agree is it right for some animals to die where others can live on as pets

[Chippiewill]

- Is there such thing as objective morality? (E.g. is there an objective moral code we all ought to follow)
- The problem of free will: Do we have free will or are we casually determined?
- Is there objective knowledge?

[Kardan]

I'd like a free will debate as well, I got given a leaflet today about a lecture taking place on free will and religion.

I've been thinking of those top two lately as the first debates, I have the day off tommorow in which i'll write something up. I think from the gay marriage thread in Current Affairs it'd be quite interesting to delve into the morality question first.

Cheers. :)

[Chippiewill]

I've been thinking of those top two lately as the first debates, I have the day off tommorow in which i'll write something up. I think from the gay marriage thread in Current Affairs it'd be quite interesting to delve into the morality question first.
I'd be wary of taking a specific gay / gay marriage focus on the morality question (If that is what you are planning to do, I'm not sure) as it could end up being a very one-sided debate, I don't think we want a macrocosm of current affairs certainly. It would be an understatement to say that the general population of habboxforum has a bias in that sort of area.

One thing that did resonate with me was your mention of philosophical debates in the other thread, it'd be nice to see a philosophical approach to any morality debate as opposed to an emotionally or instinct driven debate. e.g. for abortion someone might say a women should have control of her body, which is a wholly unphilosophical approach, whereas someone else might say that for an abortion to be morally impermissible a fetus must have personhood. Fetuses don't have personhood therefore abortions are ok. I think it is pretty apparent which is a better answer to an abortion debate and philosophical type responses in my opinion should be heavily encouraged particularly in any morality related debates.

I don't mean taking it towards the gay question specificially, I meant that as gay marriage is a topic that involves peoples concepts of morality that the question of where we get morality from that you suggested would be a good philosophical one to pick up on as it's a hot topic at the moment in the news - and obviously members can bring in gay marriage if they want, along with a whole host of other issues. Much better in the Debates if we have philosophical answers sometimes backed up with political, social or cultural points - as opposed to purely political answers that we usually see in Current Affairs.

It's like when a hostage situation comes up, a good one would be (I can't think of the exact wording at the moment) those philosophical dilemmas where you have to decide whether X, Y and Z lives are worth more than A, B, and C's lives. That sort of thing.

The three questions I'm interested in! It'd be interesting to see if there is a clear divide (therefore a good debate) but I have a feeling - well more from personal experience of religious studies + philosophy modules - that it's very rare to find someone who is passionate enough against the norm answers. Not really much of a debate if everyone is in agreement. Got to try I suppose so any of these three will do me :D

[Kardan]

I'd be quite interested to hear the 'You don't have free will' argument, so hopefully some people feel that way :P

As a hard determinist I would be very happy to tell you it.

[Kardan]

As a hard determinist I would be very happy to tell you it.

I've got a feeling that when the debate does come around, I'm not going to have much to stand on other than "But I can do anything if I wanted too..." :P

[Inseriousity.]

high five for another hard determinist. hmm maybe not so bad after all then although it did make A Level RE lessons really awkward being the only one lol.

[-:Undertaker:-]

A new debate will be opening over the next day or two, any suggestions? the philosophy angle didn't go as well as i'd hoped, so we might have to aim for something a little more mainstream. Any suggestions?

[Lewis]

I'm not sure whether to post here.. I don't have an idea for a specific debate.
I really think when you post your three debates every month, each debate should have an age group for it. For example:

Debate 1: 13-15 year olds (recommended)
Debate 2: 16-18 year olds (recommended)
Debate 3: 18+ (recommended)

Or at least something along those lines so that the entire community can join in the debates, and not only a specific age group or intelligence. lols

[David]

not politics

[David]

id like lots of vip for suggesting the following

can terrorism be justified

with minimum politics if possible

[CaptainAce]

Due to the recent crash of a plane at an air show the debate is - Should airshows still go on despite the high risk that involves flying these aircraft?

[Empired]

I thought something like "Is feminism sexist?". I know we had "Does feminism have its place in modern cultures anymore?" but they're two pretty different topics, just focused on the same thing.

[MKR&*42]

I thought something like "Is feminism sexist?". I know we had "Does feminism have its place in modern cultures anymore?" but they're two pretty different topics, just focused on the same thing.

I would strongly support this and I see the difference between the two. I would be surprised if anyone on this forum does strongly support feminism though.

It's a teenage forum, we have some right weirdos on here cough @Maria (http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=90418);

Oh I had another one I'd just thought of but it's gone again. HAYDEN THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT

[CaptainAce]

Online bullying on forums, should we accept it or should we actually start to take action.

[lemons]

Online bullying on forums, should we accept it or should we actually start to take action.

No form of bullying should be accepted.

[CaptainAce]

No form of bullying should be accepted.

You'd think that but if you take a look around this forum and Habbo. You'll see something different.

I have another idea for a debate, full of ideas tonight!
Should contact sports be banned?

[Kardan]

I think debates should go for controversial opinions and make you think about topics rather than just generic questions such as 'Should contact sports be banned'. For example, the current terrorism debate is actually quite good, so kudos to whoever suggested that one.

[Aiden]

Your topic name: Caring about others
Debate Question: Should people be expected to give sympathy?
Brief Description: Should people have to feel for others? Like if someone dies at a school, should the whole school have to hear about it and be quiet in respect (I mean like walking around school and in general, not like at a funeral or something). I know that's what is expected. Also, should people give sympathy to people who have bad lives (lost money betting now live on street, beat wife/husband and single drunk now, etc)? It might be a nice thing to care, but should the people who don't care that much be called selfish? If ya get meh :L

[-:Undertaker:-]

Opening new debates soon, any ideas before I do? +rep for any interesting or sensible ones!

[Kardan]

Opening new debates soon, any ideas before I do? +rep for any interesting or sensible ones!

Should the new proposed 'Habbox Answers' feature go to the news department or the content department? :P

On a serious note, just a few ideas, not sure if they've been brought up before:

Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt?
Should parents be able to choose the sex of their child?
Should fat people be charged more? (Plane seats, clothing etc.)
Is smacking your children allowed?
Should the government do more about the illegal downloading of music?
Should polygamy be made legal?
Should the drinking age limit in the UK be raised to 21?

Just a few ideas, most of them are pretty common debates I guess.

[Phil]

Something to do with Men in Childcare would be interesting. When I posted my survey about it for college it seemed like it could spark a good debate

[Empired]

Not sure if we've had this before and I cba to go back looking for something like it.

We could have some sort of debate on whether aliens are real? We were just talking about it in HxHD and I had no idea people had such strong views on it (including myself).

[AgnesIO]

Your topic name: Global Poverty
Debate Question: How should Global Poverty be tackled?
Brief Description: Just looking at what peoples views are on the approaches taken to reduce global poverty, for example through aid, education etc

[Munex]

There're many ideas I can think of, but this is the most original:

Your topic name: Cataloguing From Birth
Debate Question: Should newborns undergo a quick and painless DNA swab to match them to crimes they may commit in the future?
Brief Description: Many people have told me that they would refuse to have their DNA taken. Others argue that the innocent shouldn't have anything to hide.

[-:Undertaker:-]

Thanks for the suggestions, i'll open them up tonight.

I'll go with the suggestions from Munex, Marketing and undecided about others for now.

+rep to all for the suggestions!

[Negativities]

Your topic name: Is abortion murder?
Debate Question: At what point during pregnancy is abortion considered murder?
Brief Description: Daily debates on whether abortion is murder or not. A woman should be able to make decisions of the baby if the baby is incapable of making it's own decisions. At what point do you believe abortion would be considered murder and when is a fetus considered a human? There are many ways people define what a human is, but their are no definite answers due to the diversity of religion and cultures.


-------------------------------

An ex-husband tells his estranged pregnant wife he is going to "stomp it out of her." Is this a case of murder of an unborn child?In 1969, Teresa Keeler, eight months pregnant, was beaten unconscious by her jealous ex-husband, Robert Keeler, who told her during the attack that he was going to "stomp it out of her." Later, at the hospital, Keeler delivered her little girl, who was still born and suffered from a fractured skull.
Prosecutors attempted to charge Robert Keeler with the beating of his wife and for the murder of the fetus, "Baby Girl Vogt" named with her fathers last name.
The California Supreme Court dismissed the charges, saying that only someone born alive could be killed, and that the fetus was not a human being.

Due to public pressure the murder statute was eventually amended to say that murder charges can only apply to fetuses older than seven weeks, or beyond the embryonic stage.

-------------------------------

Do you agree with the court case? Who is to determine that at seven weeks is when they are considered a human being.



Please take into consideration in making this a debate topic. I feel that it will grab a lot of people's attention

[-:Undertaker:-]

I'll be posting some new debates soon over the next day or two, so any ideas? it'd be nice to hear some more unconventional ones rather than the same old of gay marriage, abortion, fostering and so on - although I realise there are only so many topics that will trigger a response from people. :P We've had a good number of responses to the last three debates posted so it'd be nice to have the same level of engagement repeated.

Any ideas for debates regarding recent news? death of Cory whatshisface and drugs etc? all reasonable ideas will get a +rep from me.

[AgnesIO]

Topic: Benefits
Question: Should teenage mothers have their benefits strictly controlled?
Description: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23309095

[Empired]

Um I was discussing this with my family a little while ago because my mum and grandma are Christians while I'm "firmly" agnostic. The question is: Assuming God does exist, is suffering and illness a punishment from Him? I suppose this could also branch out into whether or not this means God is all-loving and forgiving as well.

Not sure if this has been covered or semi-covered in a different debate to do with God but yeah..

[Daltron]

Any ideas for debates regarding recent news? death of Cory whatshisface and drugs etc? all reasonable ideas will get a +rep from me.

What about:

Should the punishment for those who use drugs be stricter and harsher for people we deem celebrity or highly visible in the public spectrum compared to say every day citizens who use drugs but wouldn't have such contact with large amounts of people? What can be done to counter drug use and it's influence on younger people when celebrities use them and pass away such as the case here with the Glee star?

[MKR&*42]

In regards to that slightly old story about Justin Bieber driving into someone wearing a white shirt and 'getting away with it'. Could do a question similar to "Do celebrities deserve exemption from certain aspects of the law/reduced sentences?". I know the vast majority would say no, but there are some deluded people on the forum (and all around the internet tbh) who were quite quick to say Bieber did nothing wrong and shouldn't be prosecuted etc.

[goldenRAINBOWxo]

Your topic name: Abortion
Debate Question: Is Abortion right or wrong?Why?
Brief Description: To express what everyone thinks about abortion.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I'll be posting new debates when I get back from holiday, so any suggestions are most welcome (with complimentary rep ofc). :)

[Samantha]

I don't think this has been brushed up on much, I'm not too sure.

Do video games reflect your actions in real life?

Games such as GTA, does it enhance speeding, stealing and violence, things like that.

Do diets actually work?

To expand on that you could say do slimming groups actually work?

[Samantha]

Should nursery proms be held?

I read a article today about how a few nurseries hold proms for 4 year olds, they drink mocktails and have a special slow dance with their partner. On the flip side, they get to have a buffet, play children's games and get entertained by a children's entertainer.

An expansion of this could be should proms be held at all?

[Aiden]

Your topic name: Has the human race taken over evolution?
Debate Question: ^
Brief Description: I found a study of when white people will effectively become extinct. They also said that black people will as well, only asian people with be left... if we was still pretty basic and not as intelligent nature would guide us, the 'fittest' race would survive but now we can support each other with tech and medicine and now survival of the fittest has changed a lot. So, has humans taken nature (evolution) and formed a new version?

Good one, i've been thinking of a Habbox one for a while. I'll for sure include this.

[GommeInc]

Should Habbox abandon V7?
How can you abandon something that doesn't even exist? :P It's like me abandoning my thousands of blocks of gold and chucking them off the side of my yacht with Beyonce tied to the bow as my figure head ;)

Reparation for countries who were abused by the salve trade might be a good debate. The Big Question recently debated it with my lecturer as a guest.

Are manned missions to other planets in the solar system viable given our current technological level and funding allocated to space exploration? And what incentives could be made to make you (forum users) agree to such a mission if the possibilites of returning to Earth are slim?

New debates coming this week as old ones have expired... any wacky ideas people have?

I am thinking of recovering the classic debates such as abortion, death penalty etc... what do people think?

Should men be allowed to decline fatherhood?
Is the LGBT movement ultimately harmful?
Is discrimination useful?
Is it worth going to university anymore?
Should we breed dogs as cattle in the west?
Should educational establishments censor certain texts to protect students?

some have prob been discussed *the leanings in some of these questions are not necessary my own views =]

you already did that a few months ago, didn't you? I'd prefer new debates that aren't that and aren't political, but I don't know what.

not much help but hey

Indeed, it is hard getting the balance though... like we tried some philosophy a while back but it was no use so they have to be generalistic.
