    Science is superior to truth -

    For- Science- Reorganization of knowledge based on things that can be verified


    and tested using a certain procedure. Truth remains subjective, and our
    understanding of truth changes, the more science teaches us. Our universal
    truths have constantly undergone change, while science provides rational
    explanations.

    Against -
    Science seeks to model the way the universe works. The way the universe works
    is the truth science seeks. Since science can at best only model this, and the
    model is not reality, the model must always remain inferior to the truth.

    Bigotry is worse than corruption:


    For-
    You are, in the end, going to end up doing at least something if you’re
    corrupt. You can’t sit back, relax with a martini and wait for your reelection
    campaign. Even if you relatively end up doing less than people who work
    hard and are truthful while using their post, you will end up doing
    something. What if you’re a bigot too? By not giving a damn about what the
    people think, if you choose to stick to your ideas and disregard whatever
    the people say, you’ll end up doing nothing that anyone approves of, and
    you’ll probably end up doing no good for the country, district, city, or
    whatever. Even if you’re not corrupt, you’ll end up focusing on your ideas
    without even considering what other people think, and you will do quite
    literally NOTHING for the good of us.

    Against -
    This really depends on the person. The person in question could be quite a
    huge bigot or not much of a bigot. Corrupt people too could have just made
    a few mistakes which didn’t affect the rest of us that much. And who says
    we’re talking about politicians? Even normal people at their work could be
    bigots, or they could’ve taken bribes and changed something. With the
    huge number of different situations, we really can’t tell if being a bigot or
    being corrupt is worse than the other, so we’d like to conclude by saying
    the statement is inaccurate, which leads us to disagree with it and stand
    against it.

    Acting is not a talent

    For - acting is ​the art or occupation of performing fictional roles in plays, films, or television.
    It quite literally, by definition, is an art. And to act well, you need talent, acting isn’t literally a
    talent. You might be born with the talent to act, but that does not make acting itself a talent ok
    help wtf

    Against - acting is the talent that the people is the born with
    Donald trump is a great world leader-
    For-
    Against-

    Silence is golden - eliminated

    You can gain respect with good English -


    For-
    Technically, even if most the people you know won’t care about your
    English accent or anything else, there are going to be people who end up
    judging you on first impressions when you speak really good English and
    you’re gonna get some respect from them because you know how to speak
    well.

    Against-

    The press has been unfair to Indian politicians - eliminated i don’t


    remember anything

    There is no need for a purpose in life -


    For-
    I’ve got this

    Against-
    Science is superior to truth - for. I’ve got against covered

    Logic is more important than intelligence

    Logic - ​Reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.


    Intelligence - The ability to acquire knowledge and skills

    For-
    Intelligence is quite literally the ability to acquire knowledge and skills.
    That’s all well and good, let’s say you do this pretty well, but how are you
    gonna use this knowledge without understanding logic? Without a basic
    level of reasoning being used, you won’t really be able to get any further -
    all you can do is quite literally become a walking talking encyclopedia and
    be unable to apply your knowledge or skills with some level of logic to help
    you out in life. I’ll give you the simplest example I can think of - the Indian
    education system. It’s built around the concept of rote memorization, as I’m
    sure you all can tell, and helps make our toppers a bunch of people who
    memorize and don’t apply - how in the world does this system help us? It’s
    rooted in acquiring knowledge, ie intelligence, and gives no importance at
    all to logic. ​If a visitor walks in the house with wet hair, it is logical for one to
    assume that it is raining outside, but all intelligence can tell you in this
    situation based on our definitions is that the visitor’s hair is wet.

    Against -
    The Webster dictionary defines intelligence as ​the skilled use of reason, and
    logic as reasoning used with strict principles of validity. With such similar
    definitions, there’s no way to say that logic is superior to intelligence. There
    are even cases where intelligence can be called superior to logic - take the
    example of a sidewalk being built. Designer A says it’s logical to build a path
    to the sidewalk directly from the house, while Designer B says it’s logical to
    build one at an angle facing the north while heading to the sidewalk, as
    everyone works in the north. Both plans are logical, yes, but it’s pretty clear
    that the second one is the intelligent one as it uses human experience and
    intellect to save some time.

    Practically, might is right


    For-
    Might Is Right​, or ​The Survival of the Fittest​, is a book by pseudonymous author Ragnar
    Redbeard. First published in 1890, it heavily advocates ​egoist anarchism​, ​amorality​,
    consequentialism​ and ​psychological hedonism​. In ​Might Is Right​, Redbeard rejects conventional
    ideas of ​human​ and ​natural rights​ and argues that only strength or physical might can establish
    moral right (à la ​Callicles​ or ​Thrasymachus​). The book also attacks ​Christianity​and ​Democracy​.
    Friedrich Nietzsche​'s theories of ​master–slave morality​ and ​herd mentality​ serve as a clear
    inspiration for Redbeard's book written contemporaneously. Practically, having the fittest survive in a
    bigger proportion does increase the amount of people in our population with favourable genes
    promoting stronger, fitter, smarter people, which would in the end help us, however morally
    ambiguous this is. So, might in the end is the winner, or the one that’s right, as the book tries to say.

    Against-
    Might could dominate, but is it right? Not exactly. You could exact your will on
    someone with your supposed might, but that, in no way, makes it right. What
    you’re doing might be right, too, but it’s not related to your might in any way at
    all. Might isn’t right. So if the team here against us can’t establish a definite
    relation between might and being right, I’m sure we all can end on the
    assumption that this statement is incorrect.

    For-
    Against-

    Secularism is a fallacy-
    For-
    Against-

    India should always be a welfare state-


    For-
    Against-

    Lying is not a sin-


    For-
    it's completely relative, even religious leaders have lied countless times
    after preaching about the truth. White lies too hold our society and
    social structures together and being truthful in many situations could
    hurt our entire society, which could be considered a huge sin. But lying
    in these situations holds our delicate social structure together which is
    a boon to all of us - that's not a sin, that's just necessary.
    Against-
    a sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine
    law.
    It doesn't matter if lying helps us or doesn't help us, according to the
    scriptures, in most cases, lying is in fact a sin. So, lying is in fact a sin
    by the very definition of a sin itself.
