@DeadFire27

I thought. you were to busy to debate...

Thanks for the positive output. I'll work on my length in the future.

@DeadFire27

Great idea, yet not so much perfectly executed. You would have benefited from a long argument with space to discuss implications as well as try to provide evidence of a society functioning without police -- that might have made your point more effective. By making the argument extremely short you are kind of wasting your round, as nothing is remembered or have any impact. Otherwise, you had a cool angle I hadn't expected.

I'd like opinions on my R2 argument.

-->
@Benjamin

I would argue that Social security is more important on the grounds that it costs more than the military.

-->
@fauxlaw

The most important agencies that the government runs, that means the most important agency in general, not only in a specific state.

What do you think of my argument?

-->
@Benjamin

Do you mean the military and police are the most important agencies run BY the government, as opposed to some other agencies, such as EPA? I choose that one at random just as an example, and one which I find effectively too political in its current guise to be legitimate.
