Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I don't really see the additional value of buying "organic". I think that the regulation around what is considered to be "organic" is so lax that it is primarily a way for companies to charge more for food that has no real additional value. As Loudacris mentioned, I think it is primarily a yuppie movement that people try to attach to such as being green by driving a hybrid Lexus or wearing Crocs. Not that I have a problem with any of those things, just not for me.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: Yes, don't mind paying more.

Do you have any evidence for the regulation about organic food? The Soil Association is the biggest UK organic certifier, and their list of industry standards seems fairly stringent. There's a massive PDF on their website (labelled "Farming and Growing Industry Standards" in the evidence link). An random example from the 240 pages of detail:  "you must not: •wash organic fruit and vegetables in water with more chlorine than allowed in drinking water (5ppm) •use wax coatings directly onto fruit or vegetables."Seems pretty stringent to me. And associating organic food with yuppies doesn't devalue it. Maybe some people consider 'green' a fashion statement, but that doesn't mean have to react against them instead of making your own decisions about whether the environment's worth it.

i dissagree you should gho and buy some GM mangos they look pretty with their green flurecent glow
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

No, I don't really see the value of buying organic foods, especially when companies are still being caught lying about their organic labels.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

In line with this, the word Organic is just a huge buzz word that gets thrown around by advertisers and a reason to mark up prices. However... real organic food from a farmers market is pretty tasty.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Nope - it's too expensive. My relatives are all farmers and we get a freezer-full of fresh sweet corn and cucumbers right off the vine. Talk about flavor! You don't know what you're missing until you've had fresh-picked veggies. Grocery store stuff (organic or not) doesn't come close.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

No, because it costs so much more, and does not offer any extra nutritional value. I know that is most cases it is better for the environment, so to make up for it, I try to buy local foods!
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

no i dont want to pay the extra dollars for just fruit and vegetables grown from the ground.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Half the time I could care lesswhat I eat.An argument requires a minimum of 50 characters. This is included to meet that requirement.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I agree. I buy local and/or organic whenever possible simply to avoid pesticides, antibiotics, and genetically altered food as much as I can.http://www.sbuckinghams.com/categories/Bags/Laptop-Bags/Caribee-Laptop-Bags/
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I refuse to pay 6.99$ for ONE freakin' pepper! So, no, I don't buy organic food. Unfortunately, it costs too much and is way out of my budget.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I have never eaten organic food and I'm not fat, I don't have any illnesses and I'm actually quite fit - so fuck that :)
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

No .............................No I am not ........It's weird because although organic food is NATURAL , its expensive ! It seems as though the faker the food is , the more .........idk.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I don;t buy organic food, even if I wanted, I wouldn't have a opportunity, because in our country it is not a common thing.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

It might sound very shallow but I don't really believe in its value. Like it is so expensive and for the most time I see no difference. It depends on the country/region you live, of course.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

I don't see any necessity with buying any organic food for myself.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Ha, talk about a slanted debate! I don't regularly buy organic food but I wouldn't consider myself cheap! I buy a variety of healthy foods but I don't necessarily think the word organic means that its better or better for you.Unless you are buying locally from the producer, organic food basically just yuppie-food grown by the same corporations that grow regular food.Check out this graphic for a great peek at who really produces organic food.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: Yes, don't mind paying more.

OK, fixed the slant for you (from 'No, I'm cheap' to 'No, I don't).But I don't buy your argument.Just because many Organic Producers are "the same corporations that grow regular food" that doesn't say anything about the quality.If they grow the Organic stuff without chemicals that is preferable to me.But of course, I'm buying locally from our Farmers Market as much as I can - but most of that stuff is also Organic.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Organic stuff just means that you have to wash off the manure before you eat it instead of wash off the chemicals. BTW, H2O is a chemical used on food and you don't hear people complaining about that.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Organic foods are a niche market, which have unfortunately made it into the mainstream. I don't see the point in paying more for less. There are people who like to buy organic foods, but for the same reason they buy an ipod over say, a zune, It is more of a marginalised market, with an overpriced product, trying to make it inot the mainstream.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

That is so true! It is a food trend! What is "hot" right now!
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

No I'm not, yet I do care.... just not enough to find out why I should go Organic. :-?
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

There is no such thing as organic foodAll food is grown in water. Water is not an organic substance.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: Yes, don't mind paying more.

You seem to have trouble understanding, what everybody else is talking about.Why don't you read the Wikipedia introduction on organic food provided in the debate topic.And enjoy your inorganic breakfast tomorrow.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

MadeI read the article what does that have to do with what I said?No where in the wikipedia article does it say food grown without water. There is no such thing as organic food. Or you could say all food is organic. Choices?With so many adjectives why chose to call it call it 'organic' when the major growing medium is inorganic? You might as well call the Titanic unsinkable.Made I hope I get more then just water for breakfast.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

The word organic has different meanings in different contexts.The definition of Organic chemistry has nothing to do with the topic at hand. What everybody else is talking about is this meaning of Organic:"Organic foods are produced according to certain production standards, meaning they are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives. Livestock are reared without the routine use of antibiotics and without the use of growth hormones. In most countries, organic produce must not be genetically modified."
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: Yes, don't mind paying more.

I read the definition the first time.You fail to see the irony of calling organic food organic. Either all food is organic or none of it is because it is produced with water.Water is an inorganic substance.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?
Side: No, I don't.

Water is not an inorganic substance. Hydrogen, carbon and oxygen are the core of organic chemistry; guess where the hydrogen and the oxygen come from? In photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water get turned into sugars, in hydrolysis reactions water gets made from organic molecules. Not much water is made by organisms, some is, so it's arguably inorganic.
Debate: Are you buying Organic Food?

Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

Christmas tree is a spiritual symbol for Christmas. This Christmas tree symbolizes the hand pointing toward the heavens. The evergreens were thought to represent the ever-burning fire of life. Plus the smell of them is wonderful; it's fresh, sweet of pine, and the smell of spiritual of Christmas. Fake tree is different, it doesn't have any smell, any touching feelings, or even the Christmas spirits. like other comments above, the taste is different if we trying to replace the real tree with the tree can.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

I prefer a real tree, the smell of it reminds me of my childhood Christmases, kind of gives that Christmas feeling.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

You sound like your childhood was magical! So very Norman Rockwell. My childhood was the opposite, which is why I love real trees now; when I was a kid, my mom would string up garland in the shape of a Christmas tree on the wall. It was very disappointing because all my friends had real trees. When I was finally old enough to buy my own tree at 20, when I came back from Vietnam, I bought an 8 ft tree that barely fit into my tiny apartment...I haven't settled for anything less since!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

My childhood was far from magical, but to be fair to my parents, they always gave us a good Christmas, even though they were pretty broke.

Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

They also have cheese in a can, but that isn't really the same thing.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Fake

Cheese in a can is wonderful! It's better than normal cheese!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

The very concept of cheese in can is appalling. I had it when I was in New York, me and my wife bought one as we had seen it on American TV. It was one of the most vile things I'd ever tasted and that includes raw fish roe sack.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

What kind did you buy? Cheddar cheese in a can is good !
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

Can't really remember, it was about six years ago, I do however remember the taste.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

It tastes just like cheese spared, but in an convenient can!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

Sure real trees are more work, as well as more expensive. But come on. You really have to be deep in poverty to use this excuse, otherwise y'all are just Scrooges.

There's one reason I like the real ones, because they smell amazing. :3

Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

FUR REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

Real Christmas tree is only better because the fun is picking out a tree as a family and chopping it down yourself. However a plastic tree is better if you want to save money.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

Real is better. The fake tree might last longer, but it takes a few years to reach the price of a real tree. Also by that time the fake tree would had lost it's quality. And Real trees are cheaper anyway
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

real Christmas trees are better their presence makes you feel that Christmas is here!!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Fake

It is all about the finances. Bought a fake tree at $100 four years ago, and with real trees being $25, I will be saving $25 per year here and out.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Real

I'm not making accusations or judgments, but this statement sounds like something a cheap Scrooge would say.But honestly it doesn't really matter. Obviously if money is very important to you, you are making the right choice.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Fake

It is not a matter of being poor or caring about the environment, but it is a matter of being a penny pincher, I spend my money the most efficient and effective to avoid all waste. Buying a real Christmas tree is a waste based on its longevity to price relative to a fake tree.I even thought about going cheaper either a cardboard tree or a peanuts Christmas tree.

Side: Imitation not Fake

Real trees are good if you don't mind the risk of burning your house down. The USFA has released the following stats: "Christmas trees account for 240 fires annually, resulting in 13 deaths and more than $16.7 million in property damage".By the way, a plastic tree is not fake, it is imitation. Fake means it is set up to fool people into believing it's real.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake
Side: Fake

Fake, don't smell. They don't make you itch. They don't lose needles.It is good for a fake tree. I like real Christmas trees, but I wouldn't like to have one in my house. Outside would be nice though.
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

Do not go the long way just use a fake one. You can "reuse" the tree. SAVE MONEY!
Debate: What makes a better Christmas tree? Real or Fake

i think fake because they are smaller to fit into your home and also they don't make as much mess as a real one

With a fake Christmas tree, you don't have to worry about all those needles dropping all over the floor.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

If the service was good, and nothing went seriously wrong then HELL YES you should tip.I make 2.13 an hour at my waitress job. Sure, I have my other job, but I feel for the other waitress' who only wait. I've given great service to a customer and they walk out not leaving a single penny on the table. That is so annoying. THAT is how wait gets their money, through tips. And sure, the employer is supposed to make up for the minimum wage difference if you don't get enough tips. But that just gets you yelled at, or worse, fired.I personally don't want to get yelled at or fired just because you couldn't tip someone who gave you good service.-___- Serious rant here... Sorry. But it's so annoying.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: No

wait wait wait. 2 dollars and thirteen cents!!!? Really? Wow that is so low. I still don't think tipping should be mandatory but now i know that it is a right thing. Wow, so low. I am surprised.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Yeah. That's it. At least in my state. It depends on where you are, but 2.13, I think, is the lowest. Which is absolutely ridiculous because it's been that way forever, and it's about time for a change.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Some restaurants add a certain gratuity to the check. Food Servers don't make minimum wage, so, they depend on their tips.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Well, it is the polite thing to do. And, people should not be cheap when tipping. Food Servers work hard for their money.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

I have to say that in the US tipping is/should be mandatory because it is expected by both the employer and wait staff. Tipping can certainly be a way to weed out the bad wait staff, but is some cheap SOB works the hell out of their wait staff and then stiffs them, that is bad news!I believe that 20% is the expected (from the pre-tax amount), and if the person was really good I tip off of the tax amount or just throw in some additional to make them feel good. If the suck, but tried, then I will give them 18% off of the pretax check. If the suck (and I don't expect to go there again) i will give them 15%. If they were donwright rude, I will give them no more than 10% (understanding that this is a prime portion of their income). I don't beleive I have ever tipped less than 10%, even for really horrible service!
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

I so wish all customers were like you. I have this one group of women that come in ALL the time. They always make me think of a tornado. Because this is what they do. They come in, don't wait to be seated all though we have signs that clearly tell you to wait, then attack the salad bar about five times throughout their stay, making a mess of it and the table they're at, they ALWAYS complain about the plates on the salad bar being dirty, when we all know they're not, and they criticize nearly everything their waitress does.Then leave nothing.EVERY sing time. So we have to be away from other customers to hear them complain, and clean up their mess at the table and salad bar. And for what? nothing. Sorry about this little rant, but it seriously is annoying. And they're not the only regular customer that comes in and simply doesn't tip.During our buffet is a popular time people don't tip. Because they don't think we're doing anything. But their drink is full the whole time, their table is clear of all dirty plates and cups, and who do they think clears off their table once they leave? It's not much, but it's still something. And we make sure the visit is pleasant. >_< I'm going to stop now. Sorry.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

I do handle buffets differently. Generally if it is all self serve (including drinks etc.) I leave a $1/person. If it is semi-self serve, I leave $2/person. That normally ends up being 10% and 20% of the bill anyway.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Yeah, two dollars is usually what I'm left with, and that's understandable, the buffet is only six dollars. lol And there's a place with self-served drinks? O_o
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Unless an experience was terrible, it's shitty not to tip.If restaurants paid all their servers at least minimum wage or a lot more depending on the restaurant quality, restaurant owners wouldn't just shrug their shoulders and eat the extra cost. They would raise the price of the food. In America, the fact that you're expected to tip should not be a surprise to anyone. If someone doesn't want to tip a server, they should probably stay out of restaurants explicitly set up to function with servers who are supposed to get tipped.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

In my opinion, I believe that tipping is mandatory if you're paid in commission. If you think about it, these people are paid depending on how generous a person is. When you're paid on commission, you have to work much harder for your paycheck as opposed to working at a huge shopping chain like wal-mart where you can hide behind a rack of clothes for 7 hours and still get a nice paycheck.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: Yes

Servers make less than minimum wage because it's assumed that customers will tip. If you can't afford to tip, you go to a damned grocery store. 20% is the minimum. 15% for bad service.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: No

In Britain, it's mandatory to underpay. Seriously, you can just bitch and moan about the most pointless things, and not have to pay full price."Wah! I asked for Pepsi, not Coke. Take 20% off my bill!"Or something.I hear that in America, you can be beaten up for not tipping? Jesus Christ, I'd be a dead man walking.
Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?

That sounds awesome! I have to try that. Are you British or American?

Debate: Is Tipping In Restaurants Mandatory?
Side: No

I am a generous tipper... usually at least 20+%, but it's not mandatory... (Unless you are part of a large group where they add it on the bill, That's BS but a subject for another debate)However... I reserve my right to leave no tip at all if the service is that bad... I've done that about three or four times ever and I don't regret it.

You can tip if you want but you don't have too. You might as well give a hobo the money
