Click the link in my sig. That's the link to the debate forum where you can read the threads from the 1st tourney of the year.

It's not over yet, though. You can challenge anyone at any time by u2u'ing the Vagabond with the topic and who you've challenged.

excellent!

Anything...

What issues do you feel most passionate about?

Gun control, taxation, etc are up for grabs with me.

Just let me know what topics you are interested in and we can try and agree on one?

Don't you mean agree to disagree on one?

er... .... Sorry.

If you can't agree, or disagree, on a topic, you can ask The Vags to choose a random topic.

He will pick the topic and random, and then flip a coin to choose which you get.

I dont really mind the topic, I am sure I can argue either position on a topic

And yes, of course ideally it would be a topic that we disagree on Wukky!

Are you particularly pro-life? Or pro gun control?

I mean, if you are a democrat im sure we could agree to disagree on most isses

Hehe steep learning curve! Sure, Id gladly accept that as a second challenge!

I just want one practice duel first to get in shape... you know, rocky style ... punching hanging cows etc.

What Sublime620 said....the debate has already begun and we are waiting for the judgment on round three....I definitely encourage you to read some of the past debates and make a challenge to one of the other fighters....

To everyone currently in the soda debate....no one has successfully refuted Rum....*cough* GAOTU789 *cough*

44soulslayer...we'll definitely keep you in mind...

Let's get your feet wet....someone around here is bound to have a bucket of soda...

Rum is only good when mixed with 2 things: 1 - Beach 2- Hammock. And lets face it- with enough rum, who needs either?

I was just at the Rangers / Penguins game at MSG (GO PENGUINS) and I need some rum...

I have to drive to the other side of the state, at 0500 to assist in a shooting investigation...

NOW I NEED RUM!!!!!!!

(Man sometimes I hate my job)

Semper

I think my debate spidey masochistic senses are beginning to tingle again.

Semperfortis, are you ready to get back into debate mode yet?

If so, I'll propose a topic: The strange case of Barack Obama: Can a man of color truely transcend race in America?.

A difficult topic. I'm not sure which side I'd prefer to argue. Any thoughts? Feel free to propose a different topic. I'm not married to it.

Edit to add: Since it was MemoryShock who first U2U'd me to invite me back to the debates, this offer extends to MemoryShock, as well.

Oh, gawd, why am I doing this again...... ??

You're all a bunch of pirates.

You know how you can tell when "The Captain was here"?

By all the vomiting and moaning the next morning after drinking that swill.

Now that Appleton's on the other hand. They make a 21 year old amber rum that is as smooth as silk. Doesn't beat a nice shot of scotch, but I'm not an over fussy imbiber, I'll drink it if I have too.

Can't say that I've ever tried rum. But I recall that vodka and Fresca was mighty tasty and potent. But, then again, that was 12 years ago and my memory of it is suffers due to either to the expiration or potency of them times.

I do recall having the best Mad-Libs session evah with my friends, though... if that helps to unmuddle things......


Edit: Vodka, not Coke. But ye knew that...

I was hoping to finish the Tournament before starting another debate my friend...

We are in round 3.... Should not be too much longer....I love the topic though......

Mm'kay well most of the people here would classify me as just completely insane.

I am pro choice, anti gun control, pro death penalty...

ok ok ok I just want people to die ok? shesh.

Totally unhelpful seeing as those are the exact same views that I hold haha.

I wouldnt mind debating abortion though. Recently I find myself waivering between the pragmatics of pro-choice and the ethics of pro-life.

Or do you have some better topic in mind?

Or we would let Vaga choose.

I could argue Roe Vs Wade but with a twist. How about should abortions be available for underage teen girls w/o Parental Permission?

Thats a topic!

Gaotu and I have finished our little exchange.

Good luck as we await the results.

You're on!

Would you like to argue pro or con?

Im game for either.
