Round 1
Why Astrology Is a Scam:
Ever notice how your daily horoscope could apply to literally anyone?
- “You may face challenges today, but persevere and good things will come.”Translation: If you have a pulse, this is for you!
Astrology claims that the position of Mars at your birth determines your love life, but can’t explain why twins born minutes apart have totally different destinies.
Scientific studies have tested astrology again and again, and the results are…well, let’s just say the stars didn’t align for accuracy.
For just $49.99, you too can learn that Mercury is in retrograde and that’s why you lost your keys.
If astrology worked, wouldn’t astrologers be winning the lottery, not selling you moonbeam memberships?
Astrology uses charts, symbols, and lots of mysterious lingo, but when you strip it down, it’s basically “Mad Libs” with planets.
If you want to know your future, try flipping a coin—it’s faster, cheaper, and just as accurate.

Round 2
Well, well, well—look who’s waving the white flag! I must say, I haven’t seen a retreat this swift since my dog realized the vacuum cleaner was coming his way. I’d like to thank my worthy opponent for their valiant effort, but I guess the only thing more persuasive than my arguments was their sudden urge to be anywhere else!
Let’s be honest, folks: when the going got tough, the tough got… going. I suppose that makes me the last debater standing—so if anyone needs a lesson on moral clarity, discipline, or just how to stick around until the end, you know where to find me. I’ll be here, basking in the glow of rhetorical victory and accepting imaginary medals for excellence in debate (and humility, of course).
So, to my absent adversary: may your future debates be less taxing, your arguments more enduring, and your exits a little less dramatic. For now, I’ll just enjoy this win—after all, it’s not every day you conquer the battlefield without firing another shot!

Round 3
My Debate Horoscope:
Today, the stars aligned in your favor, as Mercury retrogrades directly into your opponent’s Wi-Fi signal. The cosmic forces have delivered you a win by default—a rare celestial phenomenon known as “Victoryus Easius.” While your rhetorical swords remain sheathed, take comfort: the universe has spared your opponent the embarrassment of your dazzling logic.
Venus suggests you treat yourself to a celebratory snack, while Saturn reminds you that sometimes the greatest debates are the ones never spoken—especially when your opponent’s only argument is “no show.” Keep your wit sharp and your sense of humor sharper; the next challenger may actually show up (but probably shouldn’t).
Lucky numbers: 1 (as in, you’re #1), and 0 (as in, the number of rebuttals you faced).

Both.
"Scam" is ambiguous.
Do you imply that the concept doesn't work, or that people use it improperly to profit?
