6/8/2014 5:55:21 PM Posted: 4 years ago I'm trying to plan a few debates for later in the summer. I'll take almost any troll debate, perhaps even right now, but I'd like to plan some serious policy debates as well.
Things I want to Debate: "Unemployment is Primarily Structural (Pro) as opposed to Cyclical (Con)" (Con) "Market Monetarist's suggestion of NGDP targeting is, on balance, a "Volcker Moment." (Con) "On balance, raising the minimum wage is economically desirable." (Pro) "Solipsism is a valid theory of mind." (Con) "Taxes on the top 1 percent ought to be increased (Pro) as opposed to cut (Con)" (Pro) Other than that, there a myriad of economic and philosophy debates I'd probably be willing to take on at some point. Anyone interested? |

6/9/2014 11:44:02 AM Posted: 4 years ago Heh, I think we agree on too much. I'm not much of a philosophy debater, and it appears we're in the same line of thinking when it comes to most economic positions. I'd imagine our political bent is much the same, especially based on our Big Issues. Still, I'd like to debate at some point, just have to find the right area to do it.
