The Debate Forum

[Maxmars]

Debating conspiracy is the most challenging of all....

Mostly because conspiracy implies complexity (usually)...

It's usually best to pick a point of common contention for debate... not 'the whole shebang.'

The best debate series span a topic in many forms, without dependence on a previous debate... unless agreed otherwise beforehand... but the real challenge is making a debate happen that doesn't require other debates to stand on.

There is an infinity of possibilities here... just waiting for us...

Since folks can't respond to my challenge in the debate thread itself, apparently you need the Fighter tag, I'll revitalize this thread for everyone.

Not on the evil left but as an adherent to the "None of the above" tendency, may I respectfully advance the opinion that anyone who wants to run for high office should be despised?

I would encourage you to reconsider....

If anyone can pull off a defense of the left's most attacked fronts, you can.

All true debate is never about "who is right and who is wrong"
but the crafting of a dialogue... pertinent and true...
(No personal punches, no aspersions and intimations about the person
you are debating... it's pointless...

In my opinion, debaters must disengage their egos to make an argument...
ego's are neither a useful  target nor fruitful point of attack.

I know you can do it....

Not that I'm eager to wrangle new debaters for our future...

NAW... I am doing just that!

No. Now quiet, or we'll dump your tea in the harbour again.

Oops.

Absolutely!

Looks like the debate is on. We want a clean debate. When the bell rings, come out typing. No copy and pasting below the belt.

I would be interested in a debate.

But I think that the regurgitation of pithy slogans does not qualify as debate.
