Description

This Game of Thrones debate is on the merits of King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson), the first his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men Lord of the Seven Kingdoms Protector of the Realm.

This Game of Thrones debate is on the merits of King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson), the first his name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men Lord of the Seven Kingdoms Protector of the Realm. The show will be primarily on debate, because the books have Joffrey in a lesser capacity. Due to similarities, book quotes will be allowed if a book has the same scene as the show.
Rules:
1. No trolling, tracking ips, follow the debateart rules.
2. The Game of Thrones wiki is assumed to be a reliable source for the purposes of the debate. Other user created content (reddit, quora, answers.com) can be attacked.
3. For the purposes of the debate, the legitimacy of Joffrey is irrelevant. The debate is solely on if Joffrey had the traits to be a good king.
4. As an added mercy, I'd like a comment that signifies an intent to debate before acceptance. I reserve the right to refuse to debate.
The burden of proof is set as the preponderous of evidence. This means Pro and Con must have evidence that swings the case more likely than not to their side.
I understand that I'm taking a difficult stance. Rest assured, this is not a troll debate.
