It is allowed in most US states to be purchased after the age of 18 legally; in others from 21 and above. Mostly its allowed.

'Does the Internet bring more good than harm?' (typed)
Participants: Yes: @Therider, vs. No: @Tiny1031, @tiger_of_malaysia
Neutral: @Remaine, @GoldRock
Winner: Yes (@Therider, supported by )
Chairman's statement:

Chairmen's verdict - overall, we feel rider's team were the victors in that battle. Therider, in particular, absolutely dominated that debate, putting forward valid points left, right and center, complete with a valid source toward the end to back it all up. Tiger, we feel could've expanded on his arguments a tad bit more - most of what he said were one-liners; however, what he said mostly had validity in them. We acknowledge that there's been a substantial improvement in his debating since earlier today. As for Tiny, there were times in which she couldn't get a word in. This was due to Rider dominating the debate. However, toward the end, she certainly put up a fight. Lapsa12, we think still miscontrued the motion despite us establishing it during a debate pause. There were also times when he switched sides of the argument which supported Tiger's team. However, when he argued for his initial side, his points were pretty top-notch, despite the lack of consistency. It was a great debate overall, but to conclude, we do feel the 'Yes' side prevailed.

 

Summary of the discussion topic, by :

 

I'd like to make the point that bad people will use the internet for bad things, and good people will use the internet for good things. Whether it contains badness or not, doesn't make it bad. Its like the debate as to whether or not guns kill people, or if people kill people. The internet doesn't cause harm itself. Its the way people use it. The internet is not a human being, it cannot make decisions. If we want to make better use of the internet, its not a matter of changing hardware, software, applications, etc, but a matter of increasing the moral values of the people who have access to it.

'Should immunisations be mandatory?' (typed)

Participants: Yes: , @AnuBoi vs. No: @Therider

Neutral: @Remaine

Winner: Yes ( and @AnuBoi)

Top Debater: @AnuBoi

Chairman's statement:

 

Chairman's verdict - overall, I find that Ali's team are the winners of the debate; however, it was by a very small margin. I would also like to point out that if not for Anu being a supporter, it would be Rider's win. Anu controlled the debate whenever he chimed in, making Ali's one-liners nice elaborative points. At times, Rider wasn't able to respond to his points. That's not to say Rider didn't do well. He was in charge of the debate before Anu came in. His points were also very much backed up. But it almost seemed like he didn't comprehend the content of his source, for when a response against it was made, his response did have that element of irrelevance to it. But otherwise, his points were portrayed well along with sources to back it up.

 

Ali's arguing intrinsically consisted of one-liners and questions. Whilst the points did have validity in them, he didn't expand on them very well. This is why it really was Anu that resulted in him winning. Also, he treated it like it was a Q&A - whilst I acknowledge it was to prove a point, he responded to rider's answer with another question, of which doesn't respond to his answer or with a one-liner, of which wasn't expanded very well. It was a great debate and the winners won by a small margin but I decree Ali's team prevailed.
