- Before accepting a debate, study your opponent's record (on DART and DDO). If the debater
- Demonstrates debate experience
- Makes arguments in a highly organized or persuasive fashion
- seems particularly knowledgeable about the topic, or
- never forfeits
You accept RM and Jeff_Goldblum. What are you talking about?

I was one of them too, User_2006. I tried that while going to online school resulting in me doing good in neither the studies nor this hobby.
Wylted has just posted a thread about how to get to the top 10. I assume he is just trying the ways of the almighty RM. However, I don't think he is up to RM's level yet. If you are just going several debates simultaneously without a solid foundation you will be asking for losses.

Good advice? Just try your best doing everything. If you can get top 30 in DDO, getting top then here is not difficult.
But if you would like to just relax on the forum topics instead of actually taking risks, then it would be near impossible.

This excerpt is meant to illustrate that the Chinese will literally discuss about anything.
Though, that is where I started my interest in debating. If it weren’t that, I would probably be an edgy emo teenager instead of someone who manipulates the structure of my thinking.

庄子与惠子游于濠梁之上。庄子曰：“鲦鱼出游从容，是鱼之乐也。”惠子曰：“子非鱼，安知鱼之乐？”庄子曰：“子非我，安知我不知鱼之乐？”惠子曰：“我非子，固不知子矣；子固非鱼也，子之不知鱼之乐，全矣！”庄子曰：“请循其本。子曰‘汝安知鱼乐’云者，既已知吾知之而问我。我知之濠上也。[1]
A rough translation:
A: Wow, look at the way the fishes are swimming! They must be happy!
B: You are not the fishes, how do you know that they are happy?
A: You are not me, how do you know that I don't know that I know that the fishes are happy?
B: I am not you, so I can't understand you; but you aren't the fishes, so you can't tell if they are happy or not. That makes sense.
A: Let's go back to the original premise. You are asking me "How do you know that they are happy", implying that you know that I know that they are happy. As to how I know, I know it because I am looking at the fishes right here and right now.
This is an excerpt from an actual Chinese classic, and it is written into the textbook. Happy or sad, this excerpt isn't meant to teach how semantical K's work.

Now, what makes you proud enough to say that you actually understand what Oromagi is trying to convey? What makes you think the repetition ISN'T a part of the message? I am not saying it is, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

True. Even such events are possible to find in large batches, it would be hard to change the current structure of today's Olympic organizations, etc.
However, if governmental officials deliberately get in the way of this getting passed, with such conditions being able of being met, then it is their fault.

This made me think of that scene in the office.

To be honest, when you come to the end of everything, reasoning, logic, etc... humanity, on sports, is indeed sexist. Men are just built different. Same with Women. Comparing them directly would mean nothing in a field where they are separated.
I would suggest just having a single category of sports. Only the strongest. What, in this sport your best player is a woman? Get her in. Only compete in the best of the bests. Oh, some women are salty because they are "physically inferior"? Don't worry, you will make your life spark somewhere else, or train yourself so you are as good as them.
Better yet, create some sports focused on agility that would be better for women. In fact, all the sports resulting in females recording not-as-good scores is based on patriarchy creating the sports. One remedy would literally be creating more sports, especially those that could favor women, possibly.
Unless if it really isn't possible. In that case, just pretend I said nothing at all.

For me, the standards of sports, at this level of competition, should be determined by biological sex, not gender.
Though, I don't know what to do with intersex people.

I don't know. Subjectively, China, the land that I grew up in.
The academic test(which by the way, ended 2 days ago) has a social studies test which requires me to memorize the history of China from the 1700s to now, as well as the advantages of the Chinese system, plus a lot of national indoctrination. Even though I have no need to hold on to those beliefs anymore, I am probably too brainwashed to take this topic seriously.

I would argue that Fauxlaw is telling the truth, if we consider it from the American point of view.
What is a president? The leader of the executive branch. What does the executive branch do? Carry out or execute orders. That is exactly what DArt is doing. He is putting more code into this site, having able to update the site according to the majority opinions of the people.
David and Ragnar are, rather, the members of the Congress. They simply make bills into laws by MEEPs.
Just my opinion. Correct me if I have a misunderstanding.

@Theweakeredge
I completely agree.
America is a nation striving for freedom of belief and religion(even atheism, etc). By restricting theism to the very sentence the people pledge to the nation it goes against the core values of the nation.
As a Chinese person who went to school in the US, doing the pledge is basically forced, even if you aren't an American Citizen, and to me it felt like I am speaking of lies. To be fair, I don't know a lot about US laws, but nobody should ever force a person that isn't even an American citizen to pledge.

Some illegal organizations have real smart people. For example, Anonymous the hacker group.
I don't know why we are talking about IQ here. Sure, someone trying to make a weapon from an anarchist craftbook isn't as smart, but those who hacked governmental sites are. We just fear that the former is as smart as the latter and they have an A up their sleeves and actually cause damage.

I still say that gathering information for terrorists should be legal. No action should be taken until you do a crime.
That is too idealistic. Most of the time, when one explosion happen, the second one is already in planning.
If the police are an all-benevolent God, then that statement would probably be taken. However, when harm has been done, it is normally too late.

A person with an IQ of 100, should have less freedom than one with a IQ of 180, the suggested changes to the laws I make above would help high IQ individuals have more influence over society.
IDK if I am too late for this.
However, you probably should give them all the same basic human rights. If the 180 IQ man made more out of the same things given because he is smarter, that is his responsibility for being smart.
For opportunities, The same also. You are picking the 180 IQ one for the position because he is smarter anyway.
In the end, there is absolutely no need to change laws. Changing those laws will only make the less smart more angry at you and even less smart because anger makes their thinking span short. What we need is to make the less smart smarter, not less smart.

pirate radio stations, bomb making and manufacturing drugs.
Someone is getting the labels wrong. At least Molotov Cocktail is a modified drink that is flammable. These have no right being in a COOKBOOK. It is a craftbook alright.

Anarchist COOKBOOK? Does it include how to make Molotov Cocktails?
I have no trouble regarding its legal status, but what exactly made the cookbook anarchist?
And, WHY would a right-leaner own such a book?

Not one of any particular faith that could be categorized, because my beliefs are personalized.
Everyone believes a set of things. They would consider themselves a member of the set belief(especially a popular one) that they overlap the most with. However, there are existing differences and the differences are what made the struggles struggles.

Because changing the very thing people use to do quick things and how clocks work is definitely something people can adjust to in less than 2 years. Other than this is pure destruction and propaganda, I don't think this is practical.

This is the equivalent to asking, "which one is harder to understand, Literature or Physics?"
I will say it depends. Hellmuth Jr. would find Poker easier and Carlsen would find Chess easier. It depends on what you do all day. If you have more time and opportunity to understanding a subject, it would seem easier to you.

The same to the analogy of the good samaritan. There is nothing bad about being a good luciferian, except to some other religions, such as Christianity, you are believing in the wrong god.
There is literally nothing inherently bad about being a luciferian, even if some luciferians are bad. If so, some roman emperors have killed millions. Why isn't Christianity itself considered wrong?

Think about it.
Neuralink can connect our nervous system to the internet, without us being dead or replaced. We can play songs just by thinking about it, and apes can play simple video games with their mind.
What if the same technology is being used on birds? They can fly around just like usual except everything they see can be transcribed on a computer(likely first a code, but it won’t be distant for somebody to convert nervous signal to images), thus making birds government drones just by flying around minding their own lives.

Yes. They be like “Hey sticky iron needle always rests pointing this way! Let’s call it north!” And then we stuck to it all along. In fact, we could establish a governmental paper that renamed “North” to be “Kanye”, but a hard tradition of over 2000 years is hard to change.

I am sorry, I misinterpreted the topic statement, I thought it meant that China will be the first to establish an actual colony on Mars, as I think this is what the “red planet” refers to.
