Sideline thread for debate conversations...

[Butterfly]

Bad news Butterfly! We were both so awful that someone who wasn't even in our debate thread won!

Hahaha indeed!! :24:




Seriously though, congrats!!!!

 

[HK]

Aw that's nice, people are nice.

Thanks Butterfly! You were a great opponent

Can't wait to see what our topic is.

Can't wait to see what our topic is.

I can tell you that it's the most controversial and divisive topic in the US since the abolition of slavery 150 years ago.

Problem is... I didn't count on a Brit and a Yank being the finals... so I may have to find something else.

Still debating...

The final debate topic will be posted by noon tomorrow.

I am happy to debate something on the basis of US law rather than UK if that makes it easier for you. I've seen every episode of Boston Legal, that makes me practically a lawyer in your country, right?

I'd hire you.

More like "LA Law" though... all the female attorneys where going into court in a micro-mini dress and 4" heels. :24:



And it just dawned on me that LA Law went off the air before you were born.


Never mind... kill me now.

LOL that tickles me :24:

I'm stuck on what this controversial issue is. I want to say either gay rights or abortion but they're a bit 90's.

It's not whether 9/11 was a government job is it? :ninja

Yeah... I'm rethinking this a lot more now.

Apparently the cultural divide is wider than I thought....

I remember watching some LA Law... of course, it went off the air when I was 11 :24:

Haha! Gee, thanks

Seriously, if it's easier for you to pick something that has to be argued using US legalities then I can handle that, google is a pal after all but I'm equally happy if you go for something with broader possibilities.

I figure Retro has been doing this here longer than I have so I'll be happy if I manage coherent sentences, let alone a shot at winning :willy_nilly:

Oh God, I'd need like a 2,500 word allowance per post :24:

I have coming up on 9 years worth of internet debating experience... but that doesn't really count for much :24:

it's the first time a debate tournament was organised so he is as new to it as you ... well the tournament part at least

Okay..... what I really need now is for Sam to pick a subject I know a lot about already, like Twilight, or menstruation.

:24::24::24::24: I LOVE you.

 

[USF Sam]

I had one topic in mind but I'm trying to figure out if I can make one for this pairing...

Like... "Were the colonists in the right for rebelling in 1776?" and assign HK to the NO side and Retro to the YES side...


Still thinking....

 

[HK]

Come on Sam, I was thinking more like 'Was Dumbledore right to keep Harry in the dark about his true destiny?'

Exactly. lol
