Pro vs. con view
Topic space viewKyoto Protocol is important symbol in climate fight
The Kyoto Protocol is the most important international environmental and global warming treaty ever created. Joining it, and making it succeed is a very important symbolic measure in the life of this environmental movement. Rejecting it, or letting it fail, damages the long-term viability of this movement.

Behavioral change is the key to environmental sustainability
Seeing as he has no intention of responding, I will simply extend my arguments once again
Behavioral change is the key to environmental sustainability
It is fairly clear that the con has no intention of responding. I extand all arguments, and will wait to see if he responds
Behavioral change is the key to environmental sustainability
I rest my case, seeing as the Con has failed to respond to any of my arguments and foreited every round, I can only see a Pro vote
it is not wrong for a catholic to vote for a prochoice president, in this political climate
they say it is wrong to vote for them, unless a "proportionate reason" exists to vote for them. do you contest this fact? i can find the quote from the former pope ratzinger that says this but i wouldn't assume i'd need to i thought it was common enough knowledge. you haven't said why what you describe would necessarily be proportionate reasons one way or the other.
The creation of the post of a High Representative marked an important change in the EU.
The creation of a post of High Representative and Vice President of the Commission (HRVP) marks an important change in the decision making process at the EU level with regards to foreign policy. Agreement on the post showed a clear commitment to the pursuit of a common EU foreign policy and to developing a unique cooperative model for foreign and defense policy decision making that goes beyond the nation state. Member states should now deliver on that commitment by seeking as much common ground as possible to ensure that the High Representative’s role is truly significant. The goal of a common foreign and security policy should thus be supported not only as a mechanism to streamline EU’s position and role in world politics, but also to reinforce notions of cooperation and consultation essential for maintaining a stable international system, in line with the stated goals of the EU.

Socialism poorly adapts to change.
Well, life is unpredictable. Socialism promises predictability - or what else is there to imagine under this "right to live"? But there is nobody who can tell what tomorrow will bring, nobody and nothing that can guarantee well being. The basic premise of socialism is therefore as realizable as perpetuum mobile. Sometimes, the crops may be bad, natural disasters can strike, new technologies can emerge so your knowledge or skill is no longer valuable. Capitalists usually quietly and peacefully (though, of course, not necessarily lightheartedly and easily) accept these changes or losses as a thing that life brings, and learns how to adapt to the new circumstances. Socialists, on the other hand, usually begin a fruitless and absurd search of whom to blame for (not predicting) these abrupt changes, with the "outcome" of this "search" usually being "the capitalist behaviour" of some individual or a group of people, against whom the aggressive anger of the "common people" is subsequently senselessly turned.
