Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

NO! YOU MUSTN'T. A. Spanking has been shown as a one-time action correcter and later this might cause more rebellion and distrust from parent to kid. Dogs, primates, humans, all negatives become real after pain occurs by the one who needs to protect you. B. Four of the twelve Phychies(as you will) have been shown to come from spanking. You are not protecting your child, you are hurting them. Want you child to get a mental disease? GO SMACK EM'!C. Anger problems are set to a 160% percent higher setting for the possibility if you smack them often. This also increased the chances of developing a brain deformity or mental problem. It is abuse and can ruin your child's future. Stop it right now, please, for the children. I experienced this, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, LEARNING PROBLEMS, SPEECH PROBLEMS, AND ANGER PROBLEMS. All this happened from daily smacks. I have fought back, and won. I am turning my life better. My IQ has now increased from the successful re-storage of important brain cells that results in problems when losing them. SMACKING.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: YES

Are you talking smacking or spanking? HUGGGE difference there.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Both. Spanking= Emotion troubles and reasoning problems. Smacking= Damage to brain cells and reasoning.
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

Spanking teaches the child that when you're upset with someone you hit them. The American Psychological Association says, "Many studies have shown that physical punishment — including spanking, hitting and other means of causing pain — can lead to increased aggression, antisocial behavior, physical injury and mental health problems for children... Although it's true that a lot of spanked kids will never develop serious problems, why would you take the risk? There are healthier ways to raise a well-behaved child."Parents.com issues a strong warning about the dangers of spanking your child. "Parents tend to resort to spanking when they're angry, stressed, or tired, which makes carrying it out in a calm, controlled manner far more challenging. An estimated two thirds of child-abuse cases start off as disciplinary acts and then degrade into something far more menacing. In a survey published in Pediatrics and cited frequently by the AAP, half of the respondents who admitted to spanking their kids said they did so because they 'lost it.' And approximately one in four parents reported that they use an object -- a hairbrush, a wooden spoon, a belt -- to paddle their kids, an escalation of force that has been shown to raise the risk of child abuse nearly ninefold, according to a 2008 American Journal of Preventive Medicine study."SOURCES:http://www.apa.org/monitor/2012/04/spanking.aspx http://www.parents.com/toddlers-preschoolers/discipline/spanking/spanking-discipline-debate/
Debate: Human Growth and Development: Should parents use spanking as an option to discipline?
Side: NO

It is unnecessary, as well as being quite unrelated to how a child develops into an adult. There are children who were spanked growing up who grow up to be terrible adults, and children who were not spanked growing up who become good or even great adults.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

In my opinion I think weed should be legal. If we grow our own we won't be dependent on other countries weed. If we grow it we can industrialize it and make it into whatever we want like paper, clothes, wood, etc. Also alcohol and cigarettes are worse for you.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I so agree. I wanna be able to use weed at night to sleep if my meds don't work.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I so agree. :)
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Alcohol and cigarettes are FAR worse than weed. Alcohol causes drunk driving and kills more than 50 people yearly. Cigarettes only satisfies a need, they slowly eat away at your lungs until you get cancer and eventually die, they also harm the people around you. Cigarettes also eat at others lungs, you can get cancer from second hand smoking too, not just smoking itself. Cigarettes are addicting and very hard to get off to and alcohol is not as addicting but can become a habit. Weed has never killed anyone and you cant die from an overdose and I'm not some college kid wanting to get high, I think weed should have a legal age just like alcohol. Weed has saved lives especially people dealing with depression.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Alcohol causes drunk driving Imagine a bunch of high people driving that's just as bad as drink driving. I haven't smoked weed so I don't really know the effects but I know enough. From what I've heard it apparently makes you feel good and on top of the world like you can do anything, so what stupid stunts would you pull whilst high? Probably the same stunts you would be likely to do whilst drunk. Weed has never killed anyoneAre you sure of this? Can you give me evidence/statistics for this.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

You cant prove a negative. The burden for proof is on you. He is just saying that so far there are no reported deaths from weed.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

That is very inaccurate, thousands of people who died in car accidents were found positive in post-mortem drug tests.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Then the death was a car accident. Not weed. You just admitted it.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Caused by THC intoxication .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

No. His claim is that weed itself kills. The car killed those people. You havent heard an overdose on weed story. That is how you die by weed. In your claim the THC intoxication didnt kill them. They were intoxicated yes. That didnt kill them. The car accident end their lives.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Can say same about drunk people driving .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Yes. They died by the car accident. Drinking to much can kill you. The death was the car accident. He didnt die of alcohol. Same concept.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

So you don't see a connection between bottle of tequila and 5 dead in car accident? It's just a luck.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Luck no. The alcohol influenced them yes. The actual cause of death for the guys was the car accident.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

You know well what is my point .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Yep. The death was the car accident. The alcohol itself didnt even get to kill them. The car accident did. Because if they drank the same amount and didnt drive the car they wouldnt have died. The car accident killed them and alcohol influenced the decision.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

So, why do you think that is illegal to drive drunk or high ?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Because your driving is impaired. You will die in a car accident most likely. It endangers other people.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Same with weed or Heroin .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I dont know about herion but nobody has died by the hands of weed.http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20030918/marijuana-smoking-doesnt-kill Azra gave me think link. I think they make ot clear
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Very few people died from THC overdose, some ends up as a brain dead zombies in coma, permanent brain damage, psychosis and so on, it's not a dandelion :D You should not drive anything, you cannot do maths (tried and failed) Long term use fucks you up.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Very few people died from THC overdoseCan you show me a link?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

I cannot. It was 2003¬2004, two boys that were from Vizovice, they died in Batova Nemocnice, Zlin. Four other end up really fucked up. I remember that from news and all those talks with my mother.... I'm sure it happen in other places.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

He doesnt understand that weed itself wont kill you. I did a paper on it. http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/news/20030918/marijuana-smoking-doesnt-kill
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Yes but it is a meer statement I was asking for some proof of this statement as there was none given. How on earth do you prove an ask for evidence? Not to mention I was stating the possibilities so there isn't much proof to back it up anyway.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

In a logical argument yes I cannot demand proof on your question. We just dont have deaths for weed.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Imagine a bunch of high people driving that's just as bad as drink driving.If weed is only as bad as alcohol, what would be the problem with legalizing it? It isn't more dangerous, so it should be ok.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

It's just another drug, why legalize meth? It's good for weight loss and it helps with concentration...
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

If we impose the same regulations on a drug that we have on alcohol, and the drug is just as bad as alcohol, it sounds like that is not a good reason to ban the drug up for consideration. We obviously allow some substances to be consumed. If it is similar enough, there should be other reasons to ban it. You have described those reasons elsewhere, so I see why you feel that way.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

If we have one legalized poison, why not have 4 of them... am I right.?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

If it was just legalized poison, I would disagree with you. Who cares if people are poisoning themselves. It's not my business.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Most of civilized countries has some kind of free healthcare service or hybrid system. SO if you are fucking up yourself some else has to pay for fixing you.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Wouldn't we also have to ban junk food and other "poison" items that would raise health care costs?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

Yes, why not? Or in least some age restriction would be nice :D
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

So, you want to ban stuff like hamburgers and cake?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

In least in schools .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Oh, I see what you meant by age restriction now. A lot of the times you have no choice but to eat from the schools, so they should have healthy stuff, yes.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Yeah something like that. I wouldn't ever gave my children some weird over fried stuff with unknown origin. Especially when I know that is actually harmful to them. Schools suppose to be teaching useful stuff and healthy eating habit is one of them.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Because it would make it worse. Each are bad as each other with both legalized you have nearly double the problems.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Thanks for clarifying. You are probably right, just more stuff to cause problems. Although, I think your assessment is incorrect. People can only cause so much trouble. I don't think the number of bad people will magically double because the people who are the problem are screwing things up using alcohol and would just switch to weed. I don't think we would get a giant group of solely potheads that wouldn't drink and drive now.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I think weed should be legal and alcohol and cigarettes illegal, if anything. The only weed related arrests I know of are due to possesion. Alcohol on the other hand can lead to DUI's, car accidents, violence, etc,. I've seen it ruin lives. Cigarettes should be illegal because they lead to cancer. Smoking cigarettes is basically a slow suicide.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Agree, one step closer to freedom.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Weed should be more legal than the other two. You can ingest marijuana in other ways than just smoking it, and it has killed on record only one person.Tobacco can be smoked or, if you really want it bad, chewed. The effects of doing that, are almost always cancer and pain and a horrible feeling in the afflicted area. It, due to cancer, has killed very numerous people, so many I won't even go into statistics.Alcohol, has killed so many freaking people it's not even funny. From either doing something stupid while under it's influence or from the consumption of too much of it.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

and it has killed on record only one person.Really? Can you show me where? I never knew.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I was watching a video that was showing a whole list of drugs and some information about those drugs, it showed alcohol, tobacco, lsd, and when it showed them it showed average users, average deaths per year, per lifetime etc. It was on there I saw marijuana had killed exactly one person directly. I couldn't rememebr the name of the video, but here's an article I think about that person.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Yeah, it should be, if we tax it a lot. Although it should still be illegal to grow it. Alcohol, cigarettes, weed... They're all unhealthy. We should make it legal at the age of 21 and tax it, not unlike alcohol. People will do weed if they want to. I don't think tossing them in jail for it is right. Sure weed is unhealthy... So double the punishment by putting a price tag on it and giving the government some funds.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Smoke weed 'erryday. Nyurr. Right anyways. I need you all to know that too much of anything is a bad thing, and that smoking ganja does have some negative side effects if you do it enough. The only ones I can personally be sure of is what prolonged and consistent usage'll do to your lungs though; Like tobacco, weed has tar in it, and inhaling the direct smoke from anything won't just fill your lungs with tar; it also brings carcinogens along with it. Carcinogens are categorized as anything that'll give you cancer. Hilariously, the natural THC in weed has been known to help cancer patients keep their condition at bay.But that's just the thing. Too many fatty foods'll make you fat. Too much alcohol will fuck up your liver, and you can die from exhaustion if you exercise too much.I think weed should be legal because it has the capacity to be just about as harmful as all of the other harmful and legal drugs we have out there.(Less so than cigarettes and other tobacco, but only because holy shit the things they mix into cigarettes.) If I had my way, alcohol'd be banned, too. If only because alcohol tends to make people violent and weed tends to make people mellow.Also. Marijuana should be regulated the fuck out of, and the punishments for selling without a license or to minors should be severe and merciless. That'll help dissuade people from dealing under the table in a heartbeat.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Smoke weed 'erryday.Same here. I am a practical pot head.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Weed has less of a phycological effect than smokeing more people have died of lung cancer brought on by smokeing than weed infact weed hasnt killed anyone its self some people who choose to do things nothing makes you do something you dont want to its already in your head it just leads you to do it
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I agree because weed just makes you really mellow and then you have the munchies and want some Cheeto's. There have been no reported deaths from just smoking weed, and i don't think that it is a gateway drug like people say. I have friends that smoke weed and are against things like heroin and crack. Cigarettes kill thousands of people each year, and I lost a family member from cigarettes. There have boon many deaths from it and cigarettes have other chemicals and substances like tar and cleaning products in them.Alcohol causes liver problems and bad reactions or side affects like anger and domestic abuse when people get wasted. No one wants an angry drunk. i really don't think that weed is that bad.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I definitely think that weed should be legal. I personally do not smoke it and don't nessacarily think people should. But if they want to then I feel it is their choice and they have every right to make it. Besides legalizing it will help make our economy better by giving us another scource of income, as well as it will give us access to the various uses that weed can supply.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

It looks that way. It seems marijuana will be legalized sometime in the future.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

May be the TAX control measures to be taken on weed would be something difficult to implement. Hence the government seems uninterested. Moreover weed gets you high in a way which might be harmful to the society .
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Moreover weed gets you high in a way which might be harmful to the societyWhen people get high they don't go and kill people, they usually just hangout with their friends and have a good time.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

I do agree with you, but I would like to draw attention towards the fact that I wrote "in a way " that pertains to rash driving, violence due to being stoned
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Driving while high isn't very common, its almost not even a problem.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Alcohol gets you buzzed in a way that has been completely detrimental to society. Look at all the DUIs and drunk accidents.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

If weed got you high in a way that would be dangerous to society, wouldn't there already be issues with it, since people are obviously getting high off of it?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

"Moreover weed gets you high in a way which might be harmful to the society."Have you actually got any first hand experience with people under the influence? If weed does anything it is to make people passive, while alcohol makes people aggressive. There's so many deaths attributed to alcohol that isn't a result of alcohol poisoning, accidents or the likes. A whole lot of people die from alcohol, because they are beaten to death by a drunk person. That doesn't happen with weed, so no. If the culture changed from one day to the next from drinking alcohol to smoking weed, we would actually have dealt with a significant problem in society. If everyone smoked weed instead of drinking alcohol I bet we would have a much more peaceful society.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

bet we would have a much more peaceful society also dumber :D
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Not really, no. The claim that weed makes you dumb has got to be the most ignorant thing one can say. Surely, doing any drug harms you in some way. But alcohol does irreversible damage to the brain; the damaged parts have to be replaced or remade. Weed only temporarily depresses the learning process, while making sugar taste kind of awesome. Also cannabinoids have been linked to increased neurogenesis, which potentially is the exact opposite of idiotizing. I doubt we will see a study claiming the same link with alcohol.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

One of the biggest issues is that the largest producer of marijuana is Afghanistan respective Taliban and Al Qaeda. So free access to it would result in legalizing their income. They wouldn't have to use complicated and expensive money laundering so in the end you would have legal weed and terrorists would have 10x more money. You would pretty much swapped your safety for little more of weed. Is it really worth it?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

So let's grow weed here instead.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

That does not helps too much. It will be similar to situation with so called "bloody diamonds" that are illegal. Common practice is that they simply mix them into the legal ones. With weed it would be same.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

Why can't we grow our own?
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

That does not helps too much. It will be similar to situation with so called "bloody diamonds" that are illegal. Common practice is that they simply mix them into the legal ones. With weed it would be same.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Agree

It will be similar to situation with so called "bloody diamonds" that are illegal.Umm no? Sorry that makes no sense to me. If the government grows its own weed for medical use and the public can grow it as well then how does that even relate to the blood diamonds story.  Common practice is that they simply mix them into the legal ones.Again. If you are growing your own weed then there is no worry for "mixing". You grow your own stuff. The government can even industrialize the weed. With weed it would be same.That is just completely false. Weed isnt diamonds. You cannot grow a diamond in your back yard and have it mature in 100 days or less. Also weed is a plant. It isn't that serious dude.
Debate: If alcohol and cigarettes are legal then so should weed.
Side: Disagree

You didn't get it. Ok, Imagine that you need sell/legalize a weed grown in Afghanistan. You just need a small legal weed farmer in US. Lets say he produces 200kg per batch. You add 100kg of smuggled Afghan and now you have 300Kg of totally legal weed.
