How do you fagholes feel about having 2 person political debates. We can set up pairings from random picks and have challenges as well.

I'm not too aware of US politics, but debating could help me get a better grasp of politics in general, so I'm in.

Tadao

Well, we can skip the politics then and just make them debates about anything.

I say we DON'T do debates :eek

Tadao
May 11th, 2010, 05:25 PM
I'll debate you on that. :eek

If Sacks could draw a picture of Norman Bates throwing gang signs, that'd be just fantastic.

Colonel Flagg

It could be amusing. Mock Wars, but with a little (mis)information thrown in.

Zhukov

I refused to be on the debate team in high school for political reasons. The same political reasons that managed to keep me out of most extra curricular activities, actually.

I'm interested.

I'm in.
I would prefer if both the topics and the sides were chosen for us, so we would have very limited time to prepare for something that we might not know much about, or actually endorse. This would show your true rethorics skills, and not just how obsessed you are with a certain topic.

Zhukov
May 12th, 2010, 08:33 AM
Yes. I want there to be a trophy, too.

I'm liking this idea more and more. :bestthread

Count me in.

I can't participate because I get into semantic arguments too often.

The Leader
May 12th, 2010, 12:05 PM
Isn't this what we already do?

On occasion?

Sometimes?

Tadao
May 12th, 2010, 12:06 PM
no

Dimnos
May 12th, 2010, 12:07 PM
I think this is more aimed at one on one as opposed to the battle royale we do now.

The Leader
May 12th, 2010, 12:10 PM
no
Maybe?

Tadao
May 12th, 2010, 12:24 PM
Perhaps not

Tadao
May 12th, 2010, 01:22 PM
So I guess each person participating should throw a subject into the hat of choosing upon sign up. Like,

Tadao - Abortion

Donuts? That's just silly.

Donuts versus donut holes however is a serious debate

Zhukov

Let's get some exciting topics rather than just the same old ones. >:

Debate:

Why did New York State make everyone get new license plates that are awful to look at.

Point in question: (spoilers used because the pics are big)

They are a cross between the most recent ones:

Some people don't like it, but I think it's a pretty good album. Train of Consequences is a great song.

Zhukov

Something regarding allowing more refugees/immigrants into first world countries?

Religion taught in schools?

Xbox 360 vs PS3?

10,000 Volt Ghost
May 15th, 2010, 10:58 AM
XBOX 360 is better because my roommate bought one. I use it therefore it is better. Might need to unban Microshock or only allow him to post in this thread and only regarding why PS3 is better.

Zhukov
May 15th, 2010, 11:47 AM
I think it would be more fitting if he were to come in on the opposing side, and if he could successfully argue that the 360 was better, then he would be unbanned.

Chojin
May 15th, 2010, 12:48 PM
microshock got banned?

Tadao
May 15th, 2010, 12:50 PM
I think it was for like a week. Ages ago.

10,000 Volt Ghost
May 15th, 2010, 01:37 PM
I thought he was dust for good.

Grislygus

Wasn't Chojin the one who actually banned him :lol real memorable guy, that

srsly. why are you guys acting like i don't run this

ALLOW ME TO BREAK THE ICE

micro gets a 1-week time out.

MAYBE HE SHOULD CHILL OUT

More smacktard behavior will lead to a 1-month ban and then a permaban. It's up to the event coordinators who to allow to participate and it's pretty obvious that we don't want him.

HE'S BEEN SENT TO THE COOLER

IT WAS ICE TO MEET HIM

:lol

In all seriousness I assumed it was a week but he gave himself an "I'm really really butthurt" vacation

Zhukov
May 16th, 2010, 04:24 AM
I think I should go against Rankeri, since he's always online when I am.

Sam
May 16th, 2010, 05:11 AM
RANKERI AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE GREATEST DEBATE THIS BOARD HAD SEEN.

I REFER ALL OF YOU GENTLEMEN TO THE "PISSING IN A PLATE AND FREEZING IT" DEBATE OF 2009 IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD
