The new Debate Forum - Calling all Fighters

I'm up for a debate. Can't let this losing streak of mine last forever!

If you'd wish to, it'd be fun to have a match with the all mighty bunny !!!

If so, topics in mind?

Or a few fun ideas from members on this thread:

Is the world really overpopulated?

Modern super hero vigilantes are positive role models

Pop and rock stars should not be involved in politics.

Trying to communicate with distant aliens is irresponsible.

Let me know...

I have a topic but since I am not sure that I would find someone to debate I will add it and ask that a mod U2U me if this is even possible.

I would like to debate the pro side for the sovereignty discussion, NOT the movement, as I am aware there are wayyy to many people out there taking advantage, but the actual reason behind it, why, and those that actually believe this to be a good thing and are using it for their own personal freedoms and not to be untruthful.

The reason for the mod request is I would like to ask for a longer length time (more than 3 posts) for this, as I feel it is needed. And as for a debate partner, I would ask that we leave out the "regular" arguments and actually use the law, and state rights, as opposed to the usual route taken in these kinds of discussion for example crazy lone gunman, militias and the such.

So if someone is up for the task, please let me know, as you can see I like to debate the over the top topics, and I am hoping that this would be a very open discussion without the usual derailing and argument, but 2 people discussing an important topic, and hopefully a non-judgmental judging as well.

Peace, NRE.

Now that is a great idea.....but I hesitate to jump on that debate since the "con" side of that argument would be pretty tough IMO.

Let me do some reading and see if I could do the topic justice from the con.

I look forward to it, we have somewhat been on the same page here on ATS, so I know that this would be a challenge but wonderful as well.

Peace, NRE.

Debate Approval Request

"Trying to communicate with distant aliens is irresponsible."

Beezzer and I would like top debate that topic. Beezzer will be taking the pro side and thus have the first opening statement and I, the con...

Should be Fun !!

Debate approved!

Thank you Sir !!

Beezzer...the floor is yours !

Note: this will be a nice change from all that I'm presently reading about the Boston bombings...seems like the more I read, the more it smells like...the stuff I could barely stand every time I changed my kid's diapers...

I just wanted to apologize fighters... My real life has been rather chaotic for the past several weeks and the events in Boston have kept me so busy ( as ATS staff ) that I've hardly been able to even post replies, much less research and post a debate entry.

It is my intention, barring unforeseen issues, to post a reply to the debate I am in at some point tonight or early tomorrow.

Take your time, I've had my share of slow moving debates for similar reasons.

The new debate is up! Apologies for the delay.

The con side is up:

Trying to communicate with distant aliens is a smart move



Beezzer...all yours...

I've been idle for awhile, but have a topic for only the bravest to partake of.

The Boston Bombings were NOT a False Flag.

I'll take the con position, as I have theory that everyone I've told so far has said yes, they agree to it. It is such an obvious anomaly, but nobody has noticed it yet.

I won't start ANOTHER thread on the bombings. but I've stayed up to date, even going so far as to research pressure cooker prices on E-bay.

Sans a formal thread, I offer this topic up for debate.

Any Takers?

I'm confused -- are you saying that you are taking the "con" position of the argument that it was not a false flag event? So you're really saying it was a false flag event? If so, I'd take the debate, if the terms were switched (topic being that the Boston Bombings were a false flag event, and you go first.)

If it's the other, that you're "con" on it being a false flag, then I'd agree with you and the debate is over

I would have loved to debate that one with you Druid, unfortunately, commitments and deadlines prevent me from making more than a passing comment to say you are indeed brave for taking that topic on. I've been silently watching it from afar and it's as big a hotbed as the rest of the recent major news stories.....

Good luck... to whomever debates you...

reply to post by adjensen


Well, there's a higher percentage that believe it wasn't a false flag, than those that do. In the school of popular opinion, it's not a FF event.

I'm on the fence, undecided. Thus the double negative. I didn't want to go first, so I worded the title accordingly.

I don't really have an issue with re-wording the title, but I also don't want to directly apply myself to the FF camp yet.

Within this debate I'll be presenting some glaring inconsistencies, so if you'd like, go ahead and formalize the title, and we'll go from there.
