Description

Rules:
1) I waive the first round and my opponent waived the last round.

I sense I’m going to lose this debate because I’m going against someone who is very smart and I think some voters will be biased against me (like Wylted). Because of this and other reasons, this debate is unrated.

Good debate; sorry Calculus got in the way.

@TheUnderdog

just a heads up, I know nearly nothing about sterilization, so feel free to ask me questions about detail in my vote.

-->
@TheUnderdog

No problem

@blamonkey

I won't be able to respond the last round because of some summer work I have to do. Sorry about that.

I was supposed to waive the first round. I think I make a plan in my second round.

@Wylted

I can modify my position based on what I later think.

I don't care if somebody I disagrees with wins. Tbh

@TheUnderdog

You changed your position from all deadbeats to some, whichbis cowardly. I am less biased against this new easier opinion to defend. With that said, I use zero bias in judging a debate.
