And for saber rattling.....I wish you had spent less time reading the MAD magazine....

I'll have something for you to chew on early evening....I have to work today...

Should I post my rebuttals latter in the day? Would that work better for you? the 24 hour time window is difficult to keep up with sometimes especially when you have a life outside of ATS. I work at night so I can virtually post at any time during the day. If there is a time that would be better for you to have me post let me know I am definitely willing to accommodate for the sake of a good debate. (not saber rattling or sarcasm)

You rock, whatukno!..

I think I'll manage...if there ever is a huge problem I'll use an extension, and in that instance it would be to just gain a few hours....I usually am quite prompt. I can't help it....when I am involved in a debate, I usually can't think about anything else.

Example: I wrote about half of my response during lunch and ate when I went back to work...

I'll stay here after work hours to insure that it gets up by this evening PST...I currently have no life outside of ATS...

to whatukno for being a sport about the time.

Just a reminder to those of you who may not have noticed, we have a new time limit policy, so read the rules in your debate threads. Might be relevant since one debate is late now.

Illusionsaregrander and Truthwithin are HAULING through this debate.
Applause to both. Great job.

Well first debate of Round 2 can be put to bed! Great job Illusionsaregrander. It was a lot of fun!

Good luck to everyone else. There are some really awesome debates this round.

I need a beer...

I wanna Try and Lets All be FRIENDS Why can't We Be all friends at first someday somehow at the end of all Discussions and Unite.

Make A Topic and I'm On on it. Peace Bro (^^,)

1 John 4

Test the Spirits

1Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.


Sample (^^,)


A Challenge With a Sensible Friendly and Sportsmanship Debate and Discussions.

;D

Cheer-up Love Above All and lets Move-on top level-up all our Awareness and Consciousness as long that we know that there is
a shape of a TRIANGLE. (^^,)

1 Peter 3:15-16

15but [a]sanctify (A)Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready (B)to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the (C)hope that is in you, yet (D)with gentleness and (E)reverence;


16and keep a (F)good conscience so that in the thing in which (G)you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.


And When Someone Accept this Challenge Lets make a Platform and Agreement Rules and Put it on the Respected Forum Classroom

This is Good Because There is NO Bloodshed and Killings and and Others or Both parties Respect each other and Apologized Humbly & Sincerely because of the coming of this?





1 Corinthians 14:33

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints,

Friend or foe you come to me
Wasn't sure how deep a hole i was getting into
Yet I choose to wake up every morning with a smile of my face
Or see life for what it is one big fat race...GO!

: 8-) ;D :-*

Uh? um? ok....

This is like the most friendly debate tournament that has ever existed anywhere. I don't think that anyone whether they win or loose hates anyone else debating here.

Its all for fun and it's all for the enlightenment of all.

I am really confused at your response johnb1

I am confused do you want to debate Nubaru or the bible or prophecy? or do you want to debate debating in general?

I'm Sorry I have just got carried Away and overlooked the Title above (^^,)
My deepest Apology

Just a reminder, if your opponent is late, you have the right to simply proceed, although you also have the option of attempting to contact your opponent first to see whats up. There won't be official mod time-keeping unless there is a dispute.

Two missed posts is still a Disqualification.

I haven't had the time to look in on the other debates, but I hope others are having the fun that I am. Sky and I are having a great debate and it's been really informative. I love the fact that I have been assigned a subject matter that I was not familiar with. Since beginning to research this concept, I have found myself enthralled and reading well beyond anything that applies to our debate.

As much fun as these are, these is much to be learned from a single debate.

Thank you, "TruthWithin," and good job yourself. I already beat you to the beer.

That's why I love it in the debate forum. Being assigned something that I am unfamiliar with allots me the oppurtunity to learn about...

Your debate is an excellent one. You and Sky are having a great toss back and forth....truly an enjoyment to read..:up

Truth/Illusions....what a great arguement!!

[edit on 5-3-2008 by MemoryShock]

Im having fantastic fun with the debates at the moment. Also the others...which I will not comment on until they are judged.

As readers and writers of the debates we are driven to think deeper and really learn an entire subject and to REALLY get our data straight.

Chissler...our debate is hilarious in a good sense

All in good fun.

Your up for your closing statements. Good luck!

How come this debate hasn't gotten underway yet?

'trep, you can move ahead with an openly reply now that the 24 hour window has expired. I guess technically dominusluciferi could move ahead with his first rebuttal. It's going to be a matter of who gets there first.

reply to post by chissler


Actually, if dominus beats intrepid to the punch, it will be considered his opening statement rather than his first rebuttal, because a late post can still be made up until the opponent moves ahead.

dominusluciferi hasn't been around in a while, so if he doesn't log in soon there will be a summary disqualification for not logging in- Intrepid has given him ample time but we just can't hold up the tournament indefinitely.

Ow ow ow! Make the wordy man go away! Mungo don't like big words.

Ok im done, I finished up my side of this debate with MemoryShock, now I have to go find some band aids for the paper cuts on my fingers from my dictionary.
