ATS Debate forum Information

Shock me! Giveth me life Memory!

My 'member' status is a tired one.

I just need to officially agree with another member on a topic and timeline?

See, now I want to debate someone. There must be something in the air at DATS....

I can see it now.....me vs. Ian.....topic: Jukeboxes: Pub Pawns or Musical Means of Mind Control????

Or, maybe someone else on something else. Looks like fun....

Getting kinda cocky there, aren't you? I don't think we're allowed to talk smack in the Public Fight Club Pub, but just wait 'til you get to the real FCP

Seriously, though, I appreciate your willingness to push back our debate until after the Holiday Skirmishes. And I'm looking forward to taking up the cause of Orthodoxy (or at least anti-Valentinianlism)

A failed attempt at humor then

Doh.

I edited it out, in case it continued to come off wrong!

Look forward to our debate. Or maybe a sooner one with the holiday skirmishes? (assuming I am given the status).

You got it...

Though I'll toss your Fighter status at you now...

I trust you'll find your way to the Fight Club Pub proper...

reply to post by Lucid Lunacy


Failed? maybe not ... I chuckled first, until I realized that I'm first on your list to debate

BTW, the verdict is still out on brain damage, but I may be the only Fighter you will never find drunk

EDIT: Honestly, I'm pretty excited about the gnosticism topic, so I'd rather wait for that and let someone else have at you first instead of taking you on for a Holiday Skirmish.

Okay cool, sounds good to me I am also quite excited!...despite my laziness on reading material for my position hehe.

So then it's official. We shall do the Gnosticism debate around New Years'ish

p.s. setting aside my cocky humor, I am sure we are qualified equals

reply to post by Lucid Lunacy


New Years'ish it is

And cocky humor is encouraged at the FCP. The egos are even bigger than the vocabularies. (Except of course for Ian, who can use the word "oubliette" with a straight face)

Hey Lucid! See you soon in the FCP, where I'm sure you'll add your flavor to the general mayhem.

You're on! Did you want to debate vegetarianism from a health perspective, moral/ethical perspective, economic perspective, or all the above?

reply to post by MemoryShock


Wow thanks for the status

It only took me 5 years!

Big day for me I am going to go celebrate now

That's some interesting math there...

Looks like you started celebrating a bit earlier...

Good to have ya; see you around the Pub...

reply to post by MemoryShock


Oh there was a reason I omitted math from my debate interests!

See you around the Pub then

Heading there now

Actually I would be interested in any of them, or all of them.

I myself factor in all the traditional reasoning to justify my exclusively vegetarian diet However, my primary reason for choosing it, and for continuing to, is the moral perspective.

Honestly I am open for the 'pro' position on either of the angles. Perhaps the moral or health perspective would be my preferred?.. What about you?

While trying not to sound too brash or cocky, I think that I can successfully defend either, or both. Your call.

Take it here, you two...

Wouldn't want to intimidate any of the hesitant potentials, now would be...

Ok so I'm gonna try this out...
I'm not really sure how this all works out but what the heck, right?
Anyone want to debate, I'm open to ideas.

Hello, Louie! We're having Holiday Skirmishes in the debate club right now. Look here for information about those. If you'd like to volunteer to step in for cancellations, send a u2u to MemoryShock.

There's also a vaccine debate pending that I've lost my opponent for; if you'd be interested in picking that up after my Skirmish is over, you'd be arguing the Pro for "Childhood vaccines should be mandatory." Link

I encourage you to read some of the recent debates in the Debate Forum and see how they are structured and conducted and decide if it's the sort of thing you're interested in doing.

Most of the active Fighters are Skirmishing right now, so it may be a week or so before you get anyone able to take you on for a challenge match.

Bump.

Hey is there any set schedule for a 2009 debate tournament?

And what is that about? I didnt see any information in FCP!

reply to post by peacejet


It was mentioned back in early December I think that the next tournament would run into Valentine's Day (February 14 in case there are parts of the world that Hallmark hasn't fully corrupted) but nothing since then.
