on a serious note what topics would you like to cover in the debate

i was thinking we can debate

D'oh... Guilty as charged. I got over-excited at seeing some action in the political arena outside partisan bashing.

I'm ready for anything. Education, Economy, Iraq, Gnomes, you name it.

Econemy

Let's do one first, see how it goes, and then go from there. We can start the list off with Education first, and use it as a testing ground.

Errr... well we can start it off then, but I wasn't thinking in terms of a "glued to the screen awaiting reply" sorta thing, but rather, forum-correspondance back and forth over the course of a few days or something, till the rounds were up.

ok

Well... if we just want to hash back and forth, we can set our own rules, and just let each individual reader decide for themselves who won.

If we want to actually have a structured, non-affiliated judge, then usually we'd set up a debate thread in the Head2Head thingy I think and ask a debate mod to be the judge. Chissler is one of them, but obviously we couldn't use him as that would be a conflict of interest.

Do you want it to be casual, just between us, or do you want a formal knock-down-drag-out?

lets just do a casual one
make easier and much more simple

libra we will have to do this sunday
i have messed up on a site so i have to fix it

Errr... which Sunday?

It's best we're keeping this casual. Do we wanna do this in the campaign forum or the H2H forum?

sunday that passed
hows about you pick the date and time

we will use this forum

Head-2-Head Political Debate

The only rule is, you make the rules.

In my opinion, it would be the "more" appropriate forum. Keep things organized and structured. I understand that I am libra's running mate here, but other than authoring the thread, I would have nothing to do with it. So there is no "home court" advantage, or possible room for bias.

IF you guys wished to have it judged, we could arrange some anonymous judges to be involved. Given this is a political debate, between two Presidential candidates, I would recommend not having it judged, and letting the individual decide for themselves who put up the better fight.

But it's up to you guys.

That forum is there at your disposal if you wish to have it.

I'm only a u2u away.
