4 for 4 for predictions and easy wins, let;s go
Where is the snarky comments?
In the absence of rules you are going to vote however you like?
Wolf hunter got destroyed
As long as I award you the balance of points: a conceded debate is unmoderated.
I award conduct only for concessions as conceding when the other side has won, is classy and to be encouraged.
Snarky comments at only being awarded a balance of 5 points, on the other hand - is not.
Where was that in your reason for voting?
Isn't a concession similar to a FF where you are supposed to award me the points?
Given that both mean that my opponent either stated he forfeits or forfeits by not saying anything.
Because he gracefully conceded the debate, showing class, and style.
Why are you objecting to me awarding you a delta of 5 points?
How does he win the conduct vote?
It honestly should be 25. Let people understand how taxation, health care, and businesses work before they vote for free everything. They need to know nothing is free

It's 16 where I am from; I didn't know many exercising their right.
I think anyone who votes should provide an issue stating why they support the person that they do. If your not involved with politics, you shouldn't be encouraged to vote.
too much influence by parents, should be 21, let them see the real world first a little
It should be raised
Go ahead.
I will have my argument early tomorrow if I can or late tomorrow. I'll try and be detailed so that you understand my position.
Am I allowed to rebut in the first Round?
