Description

A stopped clock: A clock in which its hands don't move by itself in relation to the rest of the clock, thus losing its intended purpose. I am sure most of you guys know what a stopped clock is.
A day: Limited to 24 hours regardless of the condition. Said clock is intended to rotate full around once per 12 hours.

BoP is shared. Pro needs to prove the resolution right while I need to prove it wrong. Concession = loss. Forfeiture = loss. Unrelated insulting = -1 conduct. Not taking the debate seriously = -1 conduct. Syntax errors existent, but readable = -1 S&G. Syntax errors existent to the point of not being readable = -1 conduct + -1 S&G.

Have fun.

Saw this in my Quality Debates sidebar and it reminded me of this

So that is twice a day if anything. Most clocks are 12 houred.

@Intelligence_06

Lol... that is what he said.

@TWS1405

It is 6 AM and 6PM, not 18AM.

Nope. Once a day.
AM vs PM

bippity boop

Seriously, 3 days left with no votes? Neither I nor fauxlaw want a no-vote tie again.

vote bump

@fauxlaw

You are fast.

@Intelligence_06

Probably better to have ditched the description and stuck with stopped clock.

Having argued this from one side, though I honestly cannot currently recall if it was in Debate, or in Forum, I'll play. Good luck, Intel. This will be fun. Enjoy

I'm very incompetent when it comes to philosophical debates, but I'm highly interested in watching how this turns out!

I think Pro can out kritik and semantically abuse the resolution vs Con, it's just gonna be time and effort demanding.

I'd take this back when I loved debating but this is becoming a real dried up pastime for me.

The whole 'been there done that' and 'so what if I win, for all I know nobody will vote and if they do then so what' vibe is becoming a real demotivating factor. I'm enjoying other hobbies more now, as well as studies/job/life

Not if you construct another trap.

-->
@Intelligence_06

I just like to have a little info on my opponent's angle. Not gonna just walk into a trap if I can help it.

-->
@Sum1hugme

Do I look like I have any idea what you are arguing for? Exactly. This is what debating is.

-->
@Intelligence_06

I am interested, but it feels too iffy not having any idea what you're going to argue, so I'll probably pass.

-->
@DeadFire27

My angle is a 360 no scope(ideally) --- just like a clock.

I know that you aren't getting a lot from what I say here, but here is a hint: My argument, might be similar to fauxlaw's, from what I have read of his.

-->
@Intelligence_06

I might be we willing to accept if I had an idea of your angle. I don't see why a clock wouldn't be right.
