Type:
DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Apr 15, 2010I've recently begun reading the Twilight book series and although I was pretty skeptical about the whole thing at first, I must admit that it is pretty intriguing. And since I am on the 3rd book, "Eclipse" the raging question that every reader of the Twilight series must confront looms... Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

CompletedUpdated on Feb 27, 2010With soaring tutition costs, low acceptance rates, and pretentious students, is it worth it to go to an Ivy League school? You still get the name and connections, but is that enough to balance the negatives?
AOL Instant Messenger vs. Google Talk
Type:
DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Feb 26, 2010First, there was AOL Instant Messenger, and in August 2005, Google launched their native chat application called Google Talk.
Both services are pretty different but offer the same thing - web based chat. Now that we are in the year 2010, both services have grown and risen in popularity. While AIM is more popular, that does not necessarily make it the better service. On the other hand, Google may be a better company than AOL, but that does not make Google Talk better than AIM.
Google Buzz

DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Feb 25, 2010Google has added "Buzz" to their gmail/networking options. Basically, you can post a status for those that are "following" you to see and comment on. It seems to resemble a combination of Facebook and Twitter; however it is conveniently placed as another tab in Gmail. Is this a good or bad idea? Is it too late for Google Buzz to become popular?

Should government issue full body scans at U.S. airports as another preventative security measure?
Type:
DebatesStatus:
CompletedUpdated on Feb 11, 2010Amsterdam has already begun installing and using full body scans at airports as a way to ensure consumer protection against terrorist threats. These full body scans leave nothing to the imagination as each and every body part is fully shown to the airport security agent who is viewing the scan. The body scans are thought to be a much safer security device in that it will not be able to hide anything from security officers, thus enabling airport security to quickly identify any substances that may include explosives.
Are these body scans helpful or are they do they infringe upon our basic rights?
