Description

First round is acceptance

I thought devil's advocate was disagreeing with someone else just for the heck of it.

@Alec

In the first he/she is speaking in terms of him playing devil's advocate (debate strategy he'd take representing the opposite side to what he/she believes).

"I really don't support the death penalty so I'm probably weak oponent"

"Like Alec, I think I'd probably take the primary position of a more expansive death sentence."

This seems contradictory.

@jamesgilbert

I don't have a consistent argument yet, but feel free to let me know if you are still looking for a challenger after a few days. Like Alec, I think I'd probably take the primary position of a more expansive death sentence.

I'm considering accepting this debate. I support the death penalty for crimes other then murder.
