We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time." --T.S. Eliot |

Mind over Matter?
========= Introduction ========= This debate will be on the age-old clash in philosophy of mind over the issue of whether or not there is an immaterial element to, but not limited to, persons. This immaterial element is attributed to the mind or the soul. Of course, the question is whether or not this immaterial element even exists and that is what we are here to debate. To put it another way - is there more to persons than their material bodies? I will be answering "yes" to that question s...
Poetry Battle
I read that Vi wanted to see more Poetry battles on here so I thought I'd give it a go. I've made this 5 rounds long. The first round will merely be introduction since I feel its necessary and then the following rounds will contain the poems with mini specific intro's if necessary. I'm 19 and have been writing poems since I was about 6. My main influence is Spike Milligan and, as a consequence I tend to write short (ish), "light", playful poems which are intended to be mildly amusing. For thi...

Danielle should remain friends with Sadie.
== Introduction = I'd like to thank my gracious and esteemed opponent in advance for accepting this debate. Because DDO prides itself on being a platform to debate subjects of all varieties, I decided to bring a somewhat personal (though not touchy) scenario to a public forum for civil discussion. In other words, this challenge is for fun and simply for the sake of a friendly debate over an issue we've had differing views on. == Auxiliary Issues == Danielle = theLwerd Vi = Daniel...
