2012 Debater's League: Smack Talk and General Discussion Thread

[Dagger Dias]

Alright guys the next round in its entirety has begun, including both the winner's and loser's bracket matches. I brought in some topics that are viewed with heavily divided opinions from wrestling fans around the world, which should make for an interesting round. That's more or less the theme of the week. I have a couple of even more controversial topics that I will be saving for future rounds. Good luck everyone, you may start immediately.

Dagger is putting up the threads for the next round topics. These are some fantastic questions.

Lets rock.

 

[GI Cake]

Much better topics this week. Thank you Double D.

 

[nightmare]

Im gonna go outside the box on this one. Gears have begun to turn.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

Interesting!

Strangely, I'm arguing the side I would've preferred, so let's go!

 

[D-Man]

Thanks to Dagger for helping me out this week. Life is really getting in the way, lately.

As the rounds go on, the debate topics get more in-depth. These are all Dagger's brainchildren so credit goes to him for coming up with them in this round.

 

[GI Cake]

I'm seriously digging this debate I'm having with Habs.

 

[Mr. Steve]

Interesting choice, to say the least. Just gonna wait on Mitch to post first so we get this bloodbath started.

 

[Johnny Scumm]

It's been over 24 Hours since I told Rattlesnake he could go first.

Come on man, you've not even made an opening post, don't go all Awesome_Miz on me.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Damn, it's been 24 hours since I made my Opening post. I'm surprised Dirty hasn't replied yet. Is he Awesome_Mizing? I hope not.

I'm assuming that, just like with me, life got in the way for these two. So we can look at it two ways:

1. They have lives and were unable to post.
2. You both have no lives for monitoring it so closely.

I'm actually looking at it in a different way. I'm looking at it in the "I'm all but guaranteed 4 points" way. Add that to the 8 persuasion points, 4 clarity points, and 4 clarity points that I hope to win, and I'll win 20-0, instead of 16-4.

Last I checked, you were debating with DirtyJose. Despite the confidence, I'd bet real money that he wouldn't go pointless in this round.

 

[¡Roján!]

Yeah, I'm not making my post for another 24 hours at least either. Shit got busy quick, yo' and the amount of research I need to do to make my opening post is sickening. I apologize to Killjoy and the judges for disrupting the flow and whatnot. Guess I'll just focus on the persuasion, information and clarity from now on.

 

[DirtyJosé]

I don't need no stinkin' punctuality points, mang.

Keep that kind of work up and you should do well.

where do i post something about starting my own federation

Not in here.

 

[¡Roján!]

Am I missing something or can Killjoy go ahead and post another part of his debate without me? I'm not no-showing, I'm just late...

I think he has to wait for you.

In my case though, I like a quick-paced debate.

 

[ABMorales787]

Replies need to go every 24 hours at the least.

 

[DirtyJosé]

Then you guys are slipping.

C'mon guys, where's all the shit talking? Where's all the beef? Where are you guys?

 

[ABMorales787]

I like giving low blows. But I don't really like kicking thin air.

 

[DirtyJosé]

Yeah. This round just seems empty. I see threads going two days without a reply and I get sad. All the little people like to pop off at the mouth from the get go, but where have they all gone?

Unless he comes back with a knockout post, I'm pretty sure you've got this KJ. My other faves for this round include Deaner, Scumm, and Habs. Steve/Mitch is a little too close to call as I don't think either have really dug in with solid punch yet.

Well, I must say thanks D'Jose, means a heck of a lot. Its been pretty meh with Rattlesnake, his replies are slow and that's not my kind of style, I like these things to follow a fast pace & this was the first debate of mine that had no limit on replies.

Thanks again.
