I think this is a fairly interesting topic and it's a shame to see it end like this. I'd like to take up the con position if you'd care to try again.

The problem I see with this debate is that I believe that in the absence of God morality is subjective. So this debate would have to be over whether or not God exists which I don't think is what you're after.

Both, I suppose. Both in ideology and in practical effect.

Abortion should be illegal in all cases except those rare instances wherein a mother's life is placed at significant and abnormal risk.

By my figuring, those would both be external inconsistencies. Which falls outside of the resolution.

So the worst came to pass. When the problems with the website happened yesterday, I found out there was a problem when I tried to post my argument. Now it's gone. eaten by an SSL error. I don't know if I'll be able to retype it all but I'll do what I can.

Lincoln Douglas debate is a form of debate that you can do in high school or college. in September of 2015 this was the LD topic.

I've no intention of writing a 30,000 character case. It will probably be more in the 10-12 thousand character range. what a high character limit does is it allows all arguments to be unpacked in full without having to sacrifice detailed arguments in order to stay below a character limit. I intended for the character limit to be far above what actually gets used.

@billbatard

No accusation with no evidence is credible. especially not in the legal system. Also, it's a little weird to just show up lob an accusation, start a media frenzy, then jump ship before you have to answer any questions. Also, this claim contradicts the testimony of other women who say that President Trump banned Jeffrey Epstein from his properties after he was inappropriate with an underage girl.

@billbatard

That's a lot of nonsense. First off, the accuser of the 13 year old rape allegation not only provided no evidence to back up her claim, But also dismissed her lawsuit before it could be investigated. It was a lie.

If you did Policy debate in school, then you know just as well as I do that the absence of evidence is not evidence. You have no idea what President Trump pays in taxes because no one has seen his tax returns.

@billbatard

Yes, But the president shouldn't be impeached if there are no legal grounds for the impeachment. Which is what my argument is all about.

Where's the Calvin Coolidge gang? Massive economic growth, 1/3 reduction in national debt. Restored the integrity of the presidency after the scandal-ridden Harding administration, zero scandals of his own (indicative of high moral character)

It might be interesting to have a debate between two pro-life people on the definition of human life. Hit me up if you're interested.

Yeah, I like to have the maximum character limit. It means that although I'll never use that many characters, I'll never have to consolidate what I want to say in order to stay within the limit or even cut points out entirely. I can unpack anything as much as I think it needs to be. Of course, I still need to be cautious about rambling.

I'm currently in a debate on the two-state solution and that's one of my arguments. that the two-state solution is impractical because Palestinians refuse to accept the deal. Even when it's weighted heavily in their favor.

I ran out of room for references in this post. I couldn't fit them in. I actually ended my arguments with 5 characters left and couldn't cut anything out and maintain the coherence of my arguments.

Here they are.
