someone start a subject, people have to debate it not saying anything outside of the matter at hand.

there will be rules you have to follow or your disqualified 3 "referees" will be appointed i wont be one of them.

rule 1# no insulting the person/peoples posting in this debate tournement.
rule 2# posts have to be of 3 lines maximum text no matter what.
rule 3# you may not copy and paste anything from anywhere.
rule 3# no multiple posts ne after another 1 at a time.
rule 4# anyone who is proven wrong and the referees all agree then your out
rule 5# all referees must agree for someone to be kicked out
rule 6# nothing must be spoke about if it is just a theory ie "existance of god"
rule 7# opinions are allowed to be dicussed, if its a question like is bush an idiot, if the referees are unanimous then your out.

we will vote for who is a referee cant vote for yourself.

But the root of the word "debate" is the French de batir, which means to fight. In the territories that we enter into here in Philosophy, is it not time that we move beyond the juvenile world of debate and into the maturity of dialogue (literally "flow of meaning"), so that we may build upon each other and create insight? In fact, is it not time that alongside of "debate clubs" in schools, there also be training in dialogue?

Is that your debate topic, Onefinity?

i want to debate the idea of kicking onefinity out of the debate before it starts

i want to debate the idea of kicking onefinity out of the debate before it starts

Will this begin in a new thread?

I vote Onefinity to be a referee. :D

haha yes the tornement will be held in a new thread where everyone sees fit when they see fit.

But what is fit? I know that I'm not fit, but do sometimes throw a fit.

i vote we debate the fact that this is a meritless idea.

But what is merit, who chooses if it does or doesn't have merit?

me.

How do we know that you merit being the one to merit , merit?

because i say it is. you're not very good at this, are you?

So, how do they get the caramilk in the caramilk bar?

voodoo. they summon voodoo practicioners from the uncivilized islands of the florida keys.

please just play along once with some kind of order to this place just ateast in one thread where people actually have to be civilized.

What is the reward? A glance at your karate trophies?

haha yeah you can see my karate shiney things if you like, i dont learn karate for one and datura i wont post back to you insulting you or anything,
if anyone has beef with martial arts thats all good, i know you all say a man with a gun would kill a martial artist blah blah blah, yes probably but what does that even mean? i studied martial arts nearly all my life, i own a gun aswell so im a martial artsist whos got heat, most martial artsists do own weapons you know.

That wasn't an open invitation to talk about yourself.

i know it wasnt?
