Description

BOP is shared.
I will attempt to argue that some races are bad for society. Con should attempt to argue that this is not the case.

This is how you properly intimidate your opponent in the comments section. Keep it simple, have weight to your bragging.

LMAO

@Incel-chud

This should be smooth sailing for me.

Without street racing, we would have no Fast & Furious franchise which harm far outweighs the risks.

When they use a semantical kritik, use one back to defeat them instead of complain about it. I mean, there is not but one word in the topic, right?

The rat race is also bad for society.

@Novice

When people look at this debate, they think of this definition:

each of the major groupings into which humankind is considered (in various theories or contexts) to be divided on the basis of physical characteristics or shared ancestry.

By tricking them to accepting this debate without knowledge this is not the case, that is viewed as a trap.

@ComputerNerd

I really don't understand why people are saying this? What semantics. My resolution was quite clear

-->
@Novice

I won't vote too harshly for your semantics... just know this strategy can be beaten by a person good enough.

The joke here isn’t bad, but you should have specified the definition in the description, which is why people are saying this is a a semantic trap. They would be correct, too.

-->
@Incel-chud

Thats good, because as I remember in the last debate, you used very innapropiate slurs to aid your argument. I just wanted to provide some caution.

-->
@Novice

So far I think I secured the conduct point, so I won't be risking it with any slurs.

-->
@Incel-chud

I must caution you, please refrain from using slurs this time. Debate is all about conduct and civility.

-->
@Incel-chud

Good for you, we can now proceed with debate! Thank you.

-->
@Novice

I wouldn't describe you as clever either. I'm just going to copy and paste something I wrote in another debate and this should be smooth sailing

I will look forward to your argument.

-->
@Incel-chud

I don't really believe debating is particularly clever in any specific way. It's more of a contest of reason and being persuasive. I would certainly not describe myself as clever in a significant way.

They will punish him for it. He is also about to learn he isn't as clever as he thinks he is.

@Novice

Given that you're against one of the biggest trolls of the history of this community (even before this website began) and that you don't know how frowned upon semantic traps like this are here (more so than debate.org which was the site we migrated from) I'll let it be and not talk more about it.

I don't even hate what you did, not only objectively but even subjectively as I was the type who'd do absolutely anything within the rules to win, no matter how annoying it was, I'm annoying and cunning when I want to be. However, I can tell you that the reason I stopped it is largely a result of realising that voters punish it here or at the very least grow bored of it. You would have done better on the old website as the voters and group who were active there were much more pro-troll-debate than the ones active now.

@RationalMadman

I'm not sure I understand. In which way do you believe I will troll, specifically? I am simply having a debate.

-->
@RationalMadman

Well, I guess you are right. He already fucked up though with his first round though. So it's cool

-->
@Incel-chud

Pro is going to semantically troll you with both 'race' and 'bad', just watch.

-->
@Svidrigailov

Cowardly not to accept a debate because you are unsure of your opponents arguments

-->
@Novice

Do you include societal factors which apply more to certain races than others? E.g., Nigerians and Somalis are both African, but in general immigrants may perform very differently in (say) US economy because of their varying societies, rather than their race. (For the sake of example; I don't know if that's precisely accurate.)
I'm hesitant to accept this debate because I don't really know anything about the argument your making.

Somone please accept the debate.

Rm, use common sense. You know he means like black people or Hispanics etc

what's the definition of race?

-->
@Novice

Thinking about playing Devil's advocate here

Anyone interested?
