Description

Round Structure:
I will waive the first round
Pro presents his constructive arguments
Con presents his constructive arguments
Pro responds
Con responds
Pro crystallizes
Con crystalizes
Pro waives this round
Do not violate the round structure please, and do not forfeit rounds. That would be tragic. I do not know if the other debate that I created (where I specified WOA as the contender) actually was created, so I am doing this just in case.

Does the wall reduce illegal immigration significantly?

You can choose the position you want to debate when you start the debate.

@oromagi

Look at the color of the profiles. Red means con, green means pro.

blamonkey instigates with "build the wall" therefore I expected the contender to argue against the wall but as it happens instigator is arguing against his own resolution....On DDO the instigator could choose PRO/CON but I don't see that option on DArt. Am I missing something? How did AIRhino know to take the affirmative?

Has Virt's tournament even started? I said I wanted to be a debater in the tournament and he hasn't updated the list.

@blamonkey

this is why you challenge them directly.

"This debate is only for Wisdom of Ages. Do not accept unless you are him. It is also for Virtuoso's Tournament."
This was in the description for the debate.

@blamonkey

Oh.

-->
@Alec

He chose the side of the argument he wanted to be on. This is for the tournament, so we both had to decide in a resolution. This is the one he picked and I have no complaints.

-->
@blamonkey

Is WOA Wisdom of Ages? He might agree with you. He is kindof left leaning.

-->
@Alec

This debate is specifically for WOA. I hope he does, but it possible that he won't.

-->
@blamonkey

Do you think anyone will accept the debate?

@DebateArt.com
@Barney

I asked Debateart.com that in his suggestions for improvement forum.

-->
@Alec

Either an edit button (haven't launched a debate here to know for sure), or ask one of the admins to change it.

-->
@Barney

How can he change the name of the title?

I advise correcting the S&G, but as Alec pointed out, it does not jeopardize readability in order to cost the point...

I think the mistake is small and people still understand the basic message of what your saying.

Ah crap, that's what I get for writing it on my phone.
