FF means any vote which falls the majority in your favor are not moderated. So generally people just put them all towards you.

If Envisage comes back, a vote in his favor which does not award you conduct, would most likely be deleted by moderation.

I personaly hate final round blitzkriegs as a tactic, so IMO this one is a foregone conclusion, but Envisage may always challenge you to a rematch.

I'm fine with letting states of the world decide their own laws. Gay people that don't like it in the countries that they are in (if it's banned there) ought to be free to move to a country to where homosexuality is practiced.

Europe forcing Africa to legalize homosexuality is like Africa forcing Europe to legalize polygamy.

Also, FF means all points to the person that didn't commit FF, right?

@Barney

Well, it is highly unlikely he will win this debate because the opportunity is smaller, but he still can if he has more evidence and facts.

On a two round debate, a single forfeiture constitutes an FF.

Good Luck.

For the sake of logic and morality, please don't.

Even with the corrected resolution, there was a time I would have had some fun trolling this...

No problem! This sort of stuff happens.

Thank you.

This is why you should be careful with wording your resolutions.

"Homosexuality 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 and 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 be a crime anywhere in the world."

At face value, what Pro is required to argue is that homosexuality is not a crime anywhere in world, nor should it be. To uphold the latter burden is easy, the former, though, is difficult in the face of incontrovertible evidence. Over 70 countries outlaw the practice, and would presumably levy some penalty against those in a homosexual relationship. It seems fairly impossible to prove your case unless you have surreptitiously hidden your true intentions and plan to troll other users.
