Description

I don't think any conservative can really defend conservative ideology and I welcome a debate with somebody who believes that murdering babies and the elderly is wrong.

No alternative plans allowed you have to debate against my proposition.

Reason:

"by the choice of one side to miss at least 40% of the debate, the requirement [to consider arguments] ceases."

Also atrocious conduct by Pro (use of the word 'fag', attempting to change the debate conditions to one round, and blitzkrieging on top of the forfeit)

Reason:

Several things.

Pro is making bold claims, but does not include any empirical evidence (sources at all, for that matter.) to suggest that any of these solutions would work as a long-term strategy.

Furthermore, the forfeiture of the rounds and then making up rules in the final, which were never mentioned in the description are considered void.

Con presents his arguments and offers sources.

The instigator seriously attempted a final round blitzkrieg, and tried to convince the voters into punishing the other side if they challenged it...

Wow, just wow!
