What would be a good debate question?

Currently, I’m thinking about doing ‘should a family be allowed to have 17 children?’ but I can’t really find any information on that… Anyone have another idea?

It can be in any category that is controversial.

Thanks in advance.

I’ll suggest a couple. Some of which I have debated at high school tournaments at both national and local levels. Others are just classroom topics that can be both engaging and fun to debate about.

1. What is a policy better pursued by the United States: unilateralism or multilateralism?

2. Should Americans be limited on how much credit they spend?

3. (A Classic Controversial Topic) Should Gay Marriage Be Allowed?

4. Should freedom of speech be compromised if someone has the potential to get hurt?

5. Should the United States Federal government be allowed to eaves drop on its citizens in order to search for threats to National Security?

I have lots of ideas, NOT ones I agree with! Here goes:

Resolved:

That abortion should be freely allowed throughout the US, for women of any age, at any time.

That all felons should be executed their third time in prison.

That all persons with severe disabilities should be sterilized.

That any person over 21 requesting a painless death should be granted it, by a licensed physician, within 24 hours.

That any illegal immigrant into the US should be deported immediately, with no excuses accepted.

That only felons earning over $50,000 per year should be given the death penalty.

That any person convicted of rape, or of spreading AIDS, should be shot by a firing squad within 24 hours.

That condoms should be distributed freely by all schools, to all students over the age of 13.

Well here’s a couple of different controversial debate topics that pop into my mind… Abortion, Gay Marriage, and the War. Good luck with that.
