Draco Straybyrn Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Whenever I try to start a debate, people don't read what's going on, spam it up, and make it impossible to debate. The ONLY exception to this is my debate with YCMaker. Actually, I take that back. Yankee interrupted. Thus, I'm setting up the first structured debate, an alternative to having a debate forum (For the time being). If you would like to join, you must PM me. I will accept or deny entrants from there. The resolution? Simple. Resolved: That women should not be allowed to run for president in the United States of America. If you know anything about debate, this is essentially policy debate. You have a short resolution, and you have to argue for your side. I need 2 people to each side, per each topic. If there are extras, you will simply rotate. You want the registration form? Okay. Affirmatrion/NegationDebate Experience-Intro Paragraph- Wait, you need to know what the Intro Paragraph? Well, it's simple. You need to type a paragraph in either the affirmation or negation, whichever you want to join during the debate. The resolution is as follows: Resolved: That the United States Government should convert to Socialism. I will consider you based upon the following: GrammarSpellingContentRedundancy (Lack of it)Structure This thread may be used for discussion, and to ask questions if you don't understand. DO NOT ASK A QUESTION IF IT HAS BEEN ASKED ALREADY. Go. ;) EDIT: If you plan to participate, please post here letting me know. ;) EDIT 2: Lists of reserved entries, and those locked in. If your name is in Italics, you have yet to send me a form.

HORUS Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I will join. I'm on the "Women can run for president" side. Because sexism in that situation is ridiculous beyond thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 See, I knew I'd chosen a good topic. For the rest of you, if you want a challenge, join the side that you don't agree with. =O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Static Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'm in. If that socialism one comes up, I will be against it (because better to see the US fall to the Russians than to see ignorant americans get a good system [there better off dead]), and I will take Kramers side in the Sexism Debate.

Parting Shot Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hmm, this seems like an interesting thread, and I may join in eventually, but I don't feel much like debating either of the presented topics :P Besides, it looks like a lot of people are gung-ho about those anyway ;) I'll add my two cents if a team is making a fool of themselves, but otherwise I'll wait until a topic I like more gets posted ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco Straybyrn Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Then get the form done. And this WILL require grammar, Cybernetic Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber Altair Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 ok, i will do that as soon as possible and don't worry about my grammar. Edit: Socialism refers to group of ideologies and political movements with the goal of a socio-economic system in which property and the distribution of wealth are subject to control by the community. To say the truth, USA Government should change to Socialism. We can't trust one person to take care of the country. USA, being one of the strongest powers today, can't be trusted to be controlled by one person. We gave Bush the power and look what has happened, the next president might be a women and you all know what will happen then. Women wont be able to take care of the country. Point is Socialism provides solutions to all the problems Democracy has, the whole population is in charge, is capable of handling the wealth and the property of a country. True, Socialism does have it's problems but it is better then Democracy in many aspects and therefore i do believe that the United States Government should convert to Socialism. because quoting wiki always get's you an A ;) and you said one paragraph so i didn't make it long ^_^.
