Hello my name is Karishma and I am on the proposition side of this debate. That means that I support the idea that European nations should be required to accept refugees from Africa and the Middle East.

Hello. My name is Karishma and I am on the opposition side of this debate. I support that European nations should not be required to accept refugees from Africa and the Middle East.

Assertion: Europe would become very overcrowded.

Reasoning: In some places where the refugees are going, there is not a lot of land to hold thousands of refugees.

Evidence: Many refugees are trying to settle in Hungary. Hungary is a very small country. It is not able to hold such a large amount of people.

Assertion: The refugees can bring diseases to Europe.

Evidence:Refugees can give Europeans by accidentally bumping into them or touching something that other Europeans touch.

Hello my name is Karishma and I am on the proposition side of this debate.

Assertion: It costs around double the penny's worth to make a penny.

Reasoning: In 2011, 5 billion pennies were produced. The U.S. spent around $120 million to produce less than $50 million of circulating currency.

Evidence: The penny drains around $900 million from the national economy each year.

Assertion: The penny does not have any use.

Reasoning: In the earlier times, things were cheaper. Now they are not.

Evidence: Before, you could buy a piece of candy like bubble gum for a penny. (These things were called penny candy.) Now, you can not. Things cost more than just a penny.

Assertion: There will not be an economical breakdown.

Reasoning: Pennies are worth very little. People may lose some money but they can always get money from their jobs.

Evidence: Canada abolished the penny and they did not have an economical breakdown.

Pennies should be abolished because the cost to make a penny is double it's worth, the penny does not have any use, and there will not be an economical breakdown.
