At least bite off something chewy... the designated hitter rule? There's more wrong with baseball than that!

How about: "Professional baseball players should play every position in every game, rotating between innings."

Now that would get rid of some of the primadonnas!

*scratches Head*

I'm wondering when Jamie's gonna show back up for our debate...




Coven

Thought I'd stop on by this thread for a spell. I have my first debate going, and I've noticed that I haven't really been posting anywhere the last few days. I find this forum to be the most interesting on this site, and that is actually saying alot. Some of you I would find it hard to challenge on but a few topics.

Actually, I think that the topic I accepted for my first challenge became phrased a little different than I would have preferred it. (And I would have loved to have gone second) The truth is, I am not the typical Christian, and definitely loathe the typical doctrine of the organized churches. Maybe if I can keep the debate going in the direction of my second post, I will finally be able to move forward the way I would prefer, you know? But my opponent has made this interesting, and I love a good learning experience. (even on a TNT topic, lol)

Either way, my schedule doesn't really make for good debate time, but when I am done with this first learning experience, I look forward to some other debates with you ATSers!

And I will talk smack for fun if anyone needs it, lol. Later all, Jason

edit to add that I appreciate all of you who set this forum and matches up. that's greaat of you all to help facilitate this kind of forum!

Sure, how 'bout something nice and patriotic, for the 4th? Such as "there was no legal basis for the Colonies declaring their independence from Great Britain"?

Of course, that one was debated hotly enough 230 years ago..

Hello guys im back, short story i was in hospital, sent Vagabond a U2U explaining everything. If you want the long story just U2U me.

So who wants a fight?
