Talk about your incredible debating skills here

walto · September-28th-2006, 06:42 AM

If you're way better than other people at debating, and you've begun to notice that when they're really convinced they won't admit it but, instead stop posting, this is your place to tell your war stories! Or, maybe you've noticed that while you're providing carefully discerned facts, others are just saying stuff they happen to believe for no good reason. It's weird how much smarter you are than everybody else, time and time again. Well, you don't have to be modest: Let this be your scoreboard area.

Whether it's politics, music, humor, tv, or sports, talk about your JC victories here.

Go for it, winners! (Whiners, stay home.)

Not sure I can count that high, but I do appreciate your fandom, walto! My modesty requires that I ask people to keep their reminiscences of my victories brief, and really, I can't allow this thread to go past 100 postings, so Lois, please shut it down after that. More would be unseemly, I think.

Great thread idea, walto!

I'm going to have to take a pass on this one, walto. I've forgotten more kills than the rest of you combined have ever had.

Look at that, I'm already kicking ass in this thread!

Goody is going to pwn this thread.

Point of order Mr Chairman

Debating is far more interesting when you have to chug-a-lug between points

Chris D · September-28th-2006, 10:41 AM

SO who's going to 'fess up as being the mass debater?

Scott Dolan · September-28th-2006, 10:42 AM

*groan*

Gentle Giant · September-28th-2006, 10:50 AM

I was heavily involved with the UMass Debate team. I really had a grip on the issues, while my opponents were merely shooting off.

Scott Dolan · September-28th-2006, 10:59 AM

Boooooooooooooooooooo.................

clinthopson · September-28th-2006, 11:10 AM

I can't debate.

My opinion is the only one that counts.

Remember, you only have 100 posts to talk about me.

Ha ha. There is a big difference in debating and mass posting while boring peole to death.

Oh, wait. Is he going to own it or pawn it? Your senetence is unclear.

GoodSpeak · September-28th-2006, 11:44 AM

I've had a fair amount of experience in this area.....

Obviously, that's coming from a guy who never spent much time around JC. Otherwise he'd have personally witnessed some of the the brilliant drubbings that have been dealt around here by true masters of debate. Black belts, some of 'em.

Many of our greats seem like they're too modest to say anything on this thread (C'mon guys!), but, thankfully, if you look around the site, you can discover that they're not hiding their lights under bushels everywhere!

Hey, if you got it, flaunt it here!

jesus marion joseph · September-28th-2006, 12:42 PM

Given my awesome retort in post #2, I have to wonder why anyone is still posting on this thread.

Noj · September-28th-2006, 12:52 PM

I'm...not good. I stink.

Enforcer · September-28th-2006, 01:28 PM

Look, I'll admit that I've lost a couple debates. But I let those people win.

GoodSpeak · September-28th-2006, 01:33 PM

....and I've been meaning to thank you, Larry

Tom Storer · September-28th-2006, 01:38 PM

Rather than debate, I prefer to cut to the real essentials: grammar and punctuation.

Enforcer · September-28th-2006, 01:40 PM

The worst part about dominating debates is having to post every 3 or 4 minutes, every single day. Because if you don't respond to a post, it means you were proven wrong. That's why you ran away like a little chicken.

Is this a pedant challenge?

If so, Pete's already on his way.

I once dated two girls at once. Well one was a long distance relationship, but it still counts. Wasnt easy, and not sure it was worth it.

Shit, nevermind, I thought you said dating skills.

Enforcer · September-28th-2006, 02:10 PM

FYI, over on another board right now, I'm totally owning this one guy in a debate!

rollhead · September-28th-2006, 02:16 PM

I debate only in person, when close enough to spray spittle on my opponent.
