I will probably lose my first debate on DDO

Chrysippus

First, my thanks to whomever takes me up on this, my first debate on this site. Second, my contention: I will lose my first debate on this site. My opening arguments are: a) As I have never debated on this site before, I am relatively inexperienced at formal debate, at least in this setting. Having read many of the past debates on this site, it is clear that the kind of reasoner who may be reasonably expected to take me up on a debate of this nature are the experienced logic enthusiasts; er...

Avatar the Last Airbender: Zutara and Azulaang should have happened

Logical-Master

I believe that the series should have been written differently; Aang's love interest should have ultimately been Azula (commonly phrased as Azulaang) and Katara's love interest should have ultimately been Zuko (commonly phrased as Zutara). Who will challenge me? This first round shall be my greeting round; I should post arguments in the following rounds. My opponent is free to do the same or start arguing immediately. I reserve the right to challenge any interpretation of the topic which m...

It's Time to Establish a Fashion Police Force

brian_eggleston

"Buy the best quality you can afford" has always been a worthy maxim. Of course, you pay for what you get and items produced by manufacturers that have a reputation for superior quality and flair, generically described as ‘designer goods', naturally command a premium price. Unfortunately, however, these manufacturer's logos are sometimes prominently displayed on the exterior of their products. By purchasing such an item, the owner is saying: "Look at me. I am vulgar and pretentious and hav...

Blogger Threats

arkwrightman

Is Hal Turner guilty of threatening three federal judges? Yes, I say! This article caught my attention the other day. http://www.twincities.com/ci_13131966?IADID=Search-www.twincities.com-www.twincities.com After some research, I concluded that the case is debatable. Below my initial argument you will find (1) the criminal statute allegedly violated by the defendant, and (2) a statement of the facts (see Complaint and Affidavit). Initial Argument: On June 2, 2009, Turner post...

Dance Dance Revolution ought to be included in High-School . . .

Logical-Master
bsufan101

FULL TOPIC: Dance Dance Revolution ought to be included in High-School and/or Middle School Physical Education classes for schools that can afford it. I am in favor of this suggestion. I fully uphold the notion that DDR ought to be included and invite anyone who wishes to argue in favor of the topic. Like my most recent debate challenge, I shall begin argumentation in the second round and shall merely let this round serve as the greeting round. PRO is more than free to follow suit and begin a...

If I were to say a something offensive and then forfeit the last three rounds, I would lose.

bearsfan

If I were to say a something offensive and then forfeit the last three rounds, I would lose. By accepting this debate, my opponent agrees that in this case, the word "lose" means to have less points at the end of the voting period. This way, whoever my opponent can not immediately vote for me, making it a win on my profile, then change their vote later, making them win. The time to argue is one day so it move move quickly as I will be forfeiting the last three rounds of this....

Giygas is the Hands-down Most Disturbing Boss In a Non-Horror Video Game

lillunchboxbandit

I think that Giygas from the game Earthbound for SNES is the most disturbing boss ever to be in a non-horror video game. There is really nothing to say until an opponent arrives, so I will wait....
