Well I am ready for a challenge I don't quite understand how this tournament is geared. But I am all set for this and look forward to a great debate with any of these fine members and also looking forward somewhat to a rematch with Semper.

I'm ready to make my closing statement, as soon as GUNSINWAR has made his post.

This is a bit out of my area, but I've done my best.

My debate with Sublime620 is done - I thoroughly enjoyed it and thank my opponent for a great debate.

I've finally given my Closing Statement to my debate with TLomon.

I've got to tell ya...Thank God it's over.

TLomon? Are you reading this?

I was very envious that TLomon got the 'Pro' side, as there was a HELLUVLOT of evidence to support his stance. Me? I got stuck with the 'piddlies'.

As well as the fact, that I support his stance.

It was hard for me to be forced in this way, to come out of one's shell, and support the other side.

I can hear ALOT of you saying to me: "Welcome to the wonderful world of Debating!" Thankyou kindly.

This has been an extremely learned basis on my part; forcing myself to see past 'biases' in every stretch.

I've learned to encompass 'alternative reasonings', and embrase my written critique with new-found desire. I've opened up a new can of worms....and I like it ALOT!

I have much to learn when debating in a positive constructive style, and I don't fault myself too much, at this point in time. This is however, my first debate 'ever', on ATS. Give me some slack.

You did a fine job Ducky...

You should be proud of your debate...

Semper

Spectacular debate...to both Tlomon and TheDuckster.....

...TheDuckster....you did a great job. I wish I could say more at this point, regarding my opinion of your style, but the verdict isn't in yet and I do not want to sway.......

Suffice to say....I would not want to face either of you in the tourney....

On a side note...this tournament is going to provide some of the best ATS reading...

Be patient Ducky...

Still nothing on Chissler and My debate yet,,,

We will give you lots of tips once the results are in...

Semper

I was hoping to get another quick practice match.

Sublime620 and I finished our debate on the 7th, and I was hoping for another match - but I couldn't.

Still, never mind - it should be looked at as a bonus, that we even have a debate forum and good people willing to run it.

anyone want a Just for fun practice Debate on

Kids and Violant games and how banning and ristricting them is a Bad thing

Finished with the debate between LDragonFire and myself. It was a great, fun debate. I am so looking forward to the results. I assume that it will take some time because of the list of debates. I have to congratulate my opponent LDragonFire for his part in this debate. Great stuff there LDragonFire I salute you.
