Sideline thread for debate conversations...

[retro]

You're on the clock again zirc

 

[HK]

I'm interested to see what the topic is for the final, even if I'm not in it these are pretty cool already, I can't imagine what the big finale is going to be, unless it was one of the options on the poll.

I'm not going to lie, I'm having a hard time with this one. I'll try to post my rebuttal a little later this evening.

Yeah... I kinda figured that would be the case. That's why I was shocked you deffered.

Well, I don't mind playing devil's advocate. :ninja I need something to work off of. That's why I hate going first.

 

[retro]

Back to you Zirc

 

[freakofnature]

Well, that was interesting. Good game, retro! :thumbup

 

[retro]

Indeed... another good debate.

Good luck Butterfly, thanks for a good debate

I voted on the Zirc/Retro one already, pretty glad I didn't get that topic.

HART

Uhm, Sammy... Hart wasn't debating. It was HK vs. Butterfly

 

[HK]

Yeah. That confused the fuck outta me :ninja

 

[HK]

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

 

[USF Sam]

Fixed.

Sorry.... I mentioned I had food poisoning, right?


Anyway... congrats to HK. People felt that the debate between HK and Butterfly was the best one of the Tournament and that HK presented her arguments better, even if they didn't agree with her position.

Retro vs Zirc- all comments came down to "Zirc just seemed to lose heart. I get the feeling she is really anti death penalty and had no heart for the pro side of it. Retro in a walk."
