Did you know ATS has a Debate Forum?

I guess this is as good a forum as any.

Are there any challengers out there that would like to have a go at a soft little bunny in the arena of debate?

As the "master debater" here( superman) I would but just too busy. Why not PM someone you would like to debate with?

I can take some time to debate. I'd be more than happy to debate you on a topic. I most prefer health/medical topics; however, I'm open to other suggestions...

I have read a few debates and it sure does look like a lot of work...I have been sincerely impressed by the research done from competitors to increase value on their side of the argument. If I could afford the time when a new tournament arises, I think I would give it a shot.

The thing about a "debate" is....and think on this....(please)......

YOU CAN TAKE EITHER SIDE!!!!

*Point* of a "debate"....innit?

Much to ponder..........

I may have some free time to take part in a one-off debate and since I don't think I've ever debated over something I actually agree with yet I'd be interested in squaring off again. So If someone want's to debate me just send a PM or something I guess.

Now, we just need a *topic* to *debate*.....

How about Chemtrails?

Or Moon Hoax?

Oh wait... aren't all topics hotly debated in the threads? Isn't 'debate' the reason we never get a conclusion beyond your wrong and I am right?

Sounds great!
Although I think the mods get to choose the topic and which side we'd be on.
Cheers!

Challenge matches are left up to us to decide the topic and determine who is arguing which position. You're thinking of the tournaments.

Ahhh, my bad.

Almost any topic, congruent to the terms and conditions are allowed.

A couple of years ago, I had a debate as to whether or not clowns are the minions of Satan... With me taking the pro.

Politics, religion, Aliens, as long as the terms allow, you can debate it. Serious, or as in my case, not so much...as you and your opponent (in a challenge match) choose.

This is hilariously brilliant, thanks:

(I have an image of clowns in my head!! )

But as I see it, is the *point* of the "debate*. To hone skills....not necessarily to *argue* a *point* that you may personally espouse.....

There is a lovely turn of phrase that some who speak "British" use.

It is "taking the piss"


I know, I know....please accept it in context.

Oh and Happy (Last) Year!!

("2012", "apocalypse", etc and etc, what not....harrumph!!)

A debate forum? I'd say that's debatable.

Now please excuse me while I go ban myself for trolling.
