Looking for a Debate

I'm looking for a Challenging Debate...maybe with a mod or someone else. I want it to be a real nitty gritty debate civilized but as sharp as cheddar because you'll be needing some Chese with your whine!!!

Submit your topics to this poll and when we decide we'll inform Kano and hopefully begin asap!!!

(EDIT) the 'we' referred to will be the two of us..not a group debate, please don't be confused...I am looking for a challenging opponent and I want to use this forum thread topic or whatever you call it to make the selection...(/EDIT)

Maybe you should contact Kano first?

Me and shorty should be having a 'grudge match' soon, we wanted the match about a month ago but the debate tournement was on, so we've had to wait.

Being a mod I thought maybe you should know better about those one liners...And the content of your message should probably go into a U2U don't you think?? Take a look at what Zion mainframe posted...in BTS

In my understanding I am looking for a user to debate and once we've settled on an issue we will present it to Kano for approval as stated in my origional post...

So if you're feeling so up and ready for differences in opinions on the actual process of creating a debate...maybe you're just the person I'm looking for... Any suggestions for a topic?

For the tournements he does, not grudge matches


another idea for debate:

Which is better

Rice or Noodles?

From what I have seen, its the users who challenge eachother...then Kano will accept the debate and host it in his forums....to get a worthey opponent and great topic I hope this forum can help ensure I will have a debate underway here at ATS soon....I've been needin' sume butta to be spreadin' on me toast lately!

hmmmmmmmmmm

thats a hard one...

Before you respond in this thread...sit back..relax..and think about what you wan't to debate about...maybe I will introduce something about the debate to help you get an idea why the topic is a mutual decision.

1) I hope this debate can not just argue 2 different positions but explore the issue and create knowledge for ourselves the debaters and if you think about it maybe the community at large.

2) I hope this debate will be a slow paced debate with well thought out arguements with self reflection before posting. I will be writing all my posts by hand first and then combine it with my online research. Debate should be approached as a game of chess not as monday night football...

3) I hope this debate will be structured with structure within the arugment and the process. I would like to have values and critera supported by contentions with cross examinations and rebuttals...not just rants back and forth why the other is right...

To set up this debate lets first find the opponent I will debating. I am in China and maybe you will forumlate your topic around this interesting snack...I am an American, went to High School in Germany, College in the US and now live in China... Experience is key to understanding....lets battle!
