Burden of proof is shared.

@Kbub530

welcome to the site! :) you seem to be a decent debater in terms of resourcing and research. Hope to engage with you in a debate sometime.

Bruh I automatically think concession when I see Seldiora 4:6 Someone else

@Kbub530

oops, I missed that one mention in spellcheck

-->
@Theweakeredge

Thank you!

@Intelligence_06

Seldiora, you called me a “he”. Again.

Did you forget again? Or is it because I’m trans?

-->
@Kbub530

Brilliantly done! I'm definitely taking notes! I was right to follow this debate after all.

-->
@BearMan

Thanks! I like debating unpopular opinions. I feel like they can really change the ways we think.

-->
@Kbub530

Good luck

-->
@BearMan

Yeah, you’ve got it! I, Pro, am arguing that the prison system should be done away with in the United States.

-->
@seldiora

The resolution is confusing asf.

You guys are debating whether they should abolish an entire prison system, not the current prison system, meaning that PRO is advocating for prisons being banned.

-->
@Intelligence_06

Would you like to change that? :^) I bet a debate would be fun

-->
@Kbub530

No it is not intentional. I, despite being inside the top 10, have actually never debated against a female on this account.

-->
@Kbub530

sorry i forgot

-->
@seldiora

I would like to remind you, AGAIN, that I am a “she” not a “he.” I am beginning to think this is intentional.

Watched Shawshank Redemption. Yeah the US might still allow prisons, but defnintely not like this.

Seldiora deserves to be in the hall of fame.

@RationalMadman

Most people have referred to them as "she," but that may be wrong

-->
@MisterChris

That1 is female?

-->
@BearMan

Yeah, I can only think of That1, Danielle, and now Kbub. That's kind of sad.. I know there were a lot more on DDO

-->
@Kbub530

PIKA STALIN!

We should reform prision and aim towards rehabilitation for most crimes, with the exception of murder.

@Theweakeredge

I see! What a cool design.

@Kbub530

Regardless, welcome to the site, to a good debate and all.

@RationalMadman @SirAnonymous, many thanks! I look forward to debating you and getting to know you better.

@Kbub530

Welcome!

-->
@Kbub530

Welcome to the site Kbub.

It’s not a big deal—just thought I’d mention. Especially since there are so few women debaters on this site.

This is why I just refer to my opponent as they or Con/Pro.

-->
@Kbub530

There are like three women on the site including you, so most of us say He unconsciously.

I’m actually a “she” not a “he” :)
