I just want to see @Jack V Savage vs @KONE with a poll on who the people think won.

PPV that shit, Sherdog.

pointless
the libs are gonna vote libs coz cucks of a feather flock together
and the conservatives are going to vote for each other because we are right

Not trying to kill the judging idea, but I see it's really a hot topic and people are a bit hesitant. I know I am repeating myself, but just want to put this out there one more time.

Poll taken before the debate: For, Against, Undecided.
Poll taken after the debate: For, Against, Undecide.
Greatest percentage of movement wins.

Example:
Obama's Foreign Policy Is A Failure (Full Debate)

see my above post. it is a popularity contest. that is it. the results do not reflect if an argument is correct or not no matter what the votes are. this does not = truth and is worthless

How non-union clock punchers are bad capitalists, and cucks.

On a more serious note, I want to debate the merits of trade as it exists today. I think this would be a good topic as their is a bi-partisan divide in both parties on this issue.

By.measuring the change in votes you would be measuring who made the better argument.

That is the purpose of debate.

I think we could come up with a roughly standard scoring criteria for the judges then have them submit their scorecards after.
-clarity
-composure
-logic
-brevity
-thesis
Judges evaluate each area, but we dont know who is judging until after the debate is over/they submit their evaluations. That would keep pandering to a minimum.

Do facts have any place in the judging?

You clearly didn't read my post then! This method doesn't reward who gets the most votes.

What are you talking about?

"By.measuring the change in votes you would be measuring who made the better argument."
- How so? How is this true? All it shows is who got more votes. Let's live in the fucking real world and be just a little honest.

Well, no shit. You are not the OP where this whole shit was propose. Why the fuck do I have to read your post.
How about reply and tell me what I should know, then I am going to give the same answer I just gave to Bernie's cuck cage.

But that's a problem in general.
A lot of people here are either socialists or on the far right.
I'd also never judge anything myself because the views of most leftists here are retarded from my point of view.
I also haven't seen a lot of centrists here and I think they're less likely to post in a sub-forum like this. It's called war room after all.

exactly
this is why the whole idea is stupid

we just have regular threads some with proof and some with feelings and EACH PERSON can determine what is truth and what is not, and if someone would rather hear and echo than the truth then so be it.

Who the fuck responds to posts without reading them?? Go away, loser.

Debate Topic:

Drone Assasination on US citizens, yay or nay? Also the entire concept of assassination as a whole.

 

[Voodoo_Child906]

Is there a time and a place for torture?

Is there anyone that would take the affirmative on that?

A strong thesis is supported by facts but also open to counter argument imo

Then don't participate, no skin off my ass. We'll have fun with our stupid idea and you'll be cold-nosed outside, licking the window, all smart 'n shit.

I normally don't bother with you, but what the heck are you even talking about? The only interaction I've had with KONE is him making up shit about me or falsely accusing me of lying about something or other. He's a very obvious troll, and I've never seen him discuss a single issue. All I gather is that he has a really creepy obsession with Frank Mir and is mad that I don't regard him as highly as he does.



I don't see how anyone can read Post 162 and conclude anything but that that guy is a troll who is extremely unlikely to ever make a positive contribution to the group or be able to discuss anything rationally. And aren't you supposed to be a Christian?

And you feel qualified to make this assumption because...?

Trick question... the Ninja were Samurai.

No, they weren't.
