The Woman is Responsible for Putting the Seat Down, Not the Man.
As PRO, I will be affirming this resolution by arguing that making sure the seat is down is the woman's responsibility when she uses the washroom.
As CON, you will argue that the man bares that responsibility.

Obama Began His Presidency With an Apology Tour

Obviously, I disagree, and would like to continue this discussion with Roy Latham, or perhaps...

Don't troll or do anything like it, or else i will express my sympathy to you, and other than that, good luck! :D .......
