Description
The topic must be short in nature, so that it can be debated in 4(minus preparatory one) rounds of A THOUSAND words each. Also, in round 1 you write topic, and I respond with whether I will choose to go pro or con. then in round 2 onwards, you start supporting your points. In case I choose to go pro, I will start debating by round 1, but I will simply write "extend" in round 5 con's round. If I go con, you will write your argument as pro in round 2 and we continue normally.
"What about Stoicism vs Hedonism?
The focus could be on which leads to a better, more fulfilling life."
I wouldn't be able to provide a sufficient argument for either as to which leads to "better."
"Or WW2.
Hitler vs Stalin?
Who was more evil between the two."
Moral relativism does not extend logical or even consistent conclusions. Therefore I'd have to pass.
What else you got?
Nice!

Want to take me on? I subscribe to individualist philosophy so my views on politics, economics, philosophy, history, religion, etc. reflects said subscription. Controversial subjects can be fun I suppose; artistic debates as well. I never enter a debate based on the subject alone, however. So it will depend on the proposition of the debate you intend to instigate.
What subjects do you normally prefer to debate?
I came through in the clutch.
Ok, just leave round 5 empty in your part. (so that we both write 4 arguments each).
You should publish an argument for the first round declaring that you're CON. I'll then publish an argument proposing the subject. Don't worry, I won't choose a subject that's difficult to argue. Though, I will need some time to think about it.
I choose con. Oh, and please put a conservative debate so I have to go against my own belief lol.
but as i said, not too big of a topic, as it is only 1000 words and for fun
You miscalculated. Since you're the instigator of this debate, you are the one who must publish first, regardless of the subject matter. Would you like to take a gamble and choose a side, and allow me to choose the subject so that we don't waste two rounds figuring out who's arguing what?
