Debate Commentary Thread

The suspence is now officially taking its toll on me.

I to. I've emailed Kano with a query...

EDIT- did you notice that our debate has teh most views so far. It started like in 5th place or something. I guess quality rises to the top.

Not until you just mentioned it but yeah it does. I suppose there are more people than me and you that want to see the outcome.

I honestly think that the first round of this tourny was very well fought by everyone involved. Congrats to all the participants.

It was a helluva debate, damn shame one of you has to go. The reason it's taking so long is because it's damn hard to choose. You both did such an incredible job. This seemed like a final, not an opening round debate. You're right, a lot of people are awaiting this outcome.

*hoovers and dusts cobwebs away*

kano...this decade would be nice!!

Yeah you guys are being made to wait unfairly long, I imagine we'll have to peel you of the ceiling soon.

No, this is the new Iron-Balls debate system. The judges don't really exist, Kano's just having a few days off - but the first person to freak out and quit ATS in a hail of flames and warnings, loses. C'mon ktprktpr and BlackJackal, you can take the pressure!

I'm sorry guys. It's been a while and I now have kids and have to take them to daycare. My wife will get mad and at 43 my blood pressure just can't take it anymore...

psych!

I don't know ktprktpr seems to be doing better than me. I have started overdosing on Caffeine pills so that I can watch the thread every moment of every......hehehehehehe...um............yeah.....day...............hehhahahehahea

Dont' mind me. I'm just testing to see if my Avatar was successfully uploaded. I had to remove smut.

I dunno dude. I got freaking kids and I haven't even named them yet. I'll call one Forever and the other one Eternity. Seems fitting. Then I'll eat them in a fit of rage. *burp*

Maybe we'll both win?

Kids??? I thought that I had kids but ummmm I can't find them now. I think there still at daycare ummmmm maybe I was supposed to pick them up a few days ago....... No time for that have to monitor ATS cannot leave.

If we both win can we tag team on the next opponent??

I know that the debate is over but the real number on the terrorist attacks has just came out thought you would be interested in reading them.

www.abs-cbnnews.com...

Heheh you tricky bastard. I bet you some judges are reading this right now.

Actually even 725 people dead is nothing. I mean, come on, they're 16 billion people in the world or something.More people die from accidents than from terrorism. (hmm i dont want to start the debate over....)

Yes I know the debate is over but I don't think any judges are looking here I think they are all vacationing in Cancun.

OH and yes many more die from other things than from Terrorism

41,200 deaths related to motor vehicle accidents,
16,600 in falls at home and on the job,
4,100 from water in drowning,
9,400 from poisoning, in the same year,
3,700 due to fire or burns,
3,200 due to choking, and
900 from accidental gun discharges

but hey the debates over

Hey I got a proposition. After we both get kicked out of the debate tournemant would you be interested in the same debate but swaping sides?

Well, there's one positive, I found out that you are a year older than me. I'm not the senior cit. here.

Yes, I would like to see you debate this from the opposing side. Maybe the only way to break this deadlock. Honestly, if I had to pick a winner, I'd have to flip a coin, which isn't fair, you guys were just so damn good.

lmao, that might be fun. For those that don't know, during some back stage conferring, it turned out that BlackJackal somehow thinks the US is winning the War on Terror, while I think the opposite. I admit, by debating the other side, I changed my mind a little bit. But the evidence is overwhelming.

Let's see how things go, and I'll take it up if you're willing. (if my situation permits).

BTW interpid - I was joking I am 24, just like BlackJackal.
