"Human flatulence contributes to global warming"?

reply to post by intrepid


Ohh I can totally win that one. I believe Stan's dad proved it on South Park.

Howz about "The US should boycott the 2008 Olympics".

Or, on the theme of South Park - "A human being could potentially produce a load of 3.5 Courics".

Awesome Topic here or

"The World should boycott the 2008 Olympics" How about this one?

"Get used to it, food riots will be apart of our future?" or

"Are less tele-communication companies good for us?"

"Are less airline companies good for us?" or this

" Should the death penalty be used for child rape cases?"

let me present for those of us in the secondary tornament's

Pink Floyd

New Floyd? Here's one from a WAY back. Interesting?

reply to post by intrepid


Not as much as canine flatulence increases greenhouse gasses and with the added effect of clearing a room of all other life nearly instantaniously.

BTW loved the Floyd man, that is an old tune

heres NEW Pink Floyd for you

I guess me and Skyfloating are Still Waiting!! for the results from our debate.

Secondary Round 1. Skyfloating v LDragonFire: Supressing Energy

Waiting for the next round of 'Secondaries' to find out who I'll be pitted against.

Sharpening my claws

~Ducky~

Well I can't wait for the next round myself. I see that humor in a debate is bad. Can't be doing that, otherwise you run the risk of looking like your not serious.

Nothing wrong with humor.

I believe that debating should have it. 90% humor...the rest....10%

That's MY take; others may agree/disagree with those percentages.

The point of a debate is to 'stay on focus', 'stick to your guns', and do your research til the cows come home.

Should the cows produce 'chocolate milk', then go with the flow...enjoy.

Until then, know that your friends are your enemies...and vice versa, and bring your best stance/words forward with respect, lightheartedness, deliberation and just cause.

These are my little tidbits to all DEBATORS.

As Shakespeare said: "Take it in the sense that thou wilst."

****

I'm ready....

...ARE YOU?

~Ducky~

ok...90% education... the remaining 10% humor.

I goofed...so what...sue me....lololol

~Ducky~

I am ready for a bit of lighter fare....

"Chocodiles are a much better junk food than Ding Dongs."

Any snack food that gives you the impression of wrestling a croc and winning while offering a chocalatey after taste trumps a doorbell association...

My ISO suggested this as an idea:

"HUDs in cars will lead to more accidents"

That hardly counts as lighter fare, TLomon!!

*Sigh*

I would have to agree. Having a HUD is like having stickers on your windshield...it can be a distraction and obstruct view.

BTW, please excuse my ignorance, what does ISO mean?

ISO = in-significant other. Kind of a joke with my friends and I.

Actually, when you counterbalance it with computer gamers having an easier time using a HUD, it doesn't have to be 100% serious.

True....But gamers are using less of their sensory perception, imo. Somato Sense is being utilized heavily in a moving vehicle....along with the other senses. As well with gamers, their is a lot of 'at rest' stimulii being encountered.

I kind of guessed in-significant other...but I didn't want to assume that because you have mentioned that you do indeed have a significant other...
