I actually feel strongly about this topic and given our rankings it's just so utterly worth the risk.

Well with me it was on a trans discussion in the Society subforum.

It got to a point where either I am debating a severely stunted individual or an intentional troll twisting snippets of what I say, to seem smarter.

How are the points of disagreement straightforward? It seems you both had very different ideas in mind of the debate itself.

" pruginally" I meant originally in Round 2.

I may vote on this debate but I am concerned of revenge from the one I vote against, tbh.

It ultimately comes down to what we define 'worse' as.

It didnt matter to respond to, if money is necessary and my definition holds.

@Kritikal

You have no idea how definitions in a debate work if you think Pro out-defined me in the debate and I have very little respect or concern for you as a voter. What you said is basically that my definition is wrong despite being backed by sources and making sense, while Pro's is correct even though he never properly deterred or handled mine.

Your profile picture is being used by another user, Bones, please don't impersonate other users like that.

As for your life story, it is of course tragic but I cannot help you other than to suggest searching guided meditation for trauma etc.

thanks for your vote, as always.

If you had gone further, I did point out the YT thing in my Round 3 and was confused at it as well.

My only error, in my eyes is I said greek paradigm when it was Norse.

Something interesting is that desert climates lead to monotheism while more cryptic climates with a lot of nature and caves etc, lead to polytheism.

There is a clear lapse in ability to judge geopolitical impact on this site's voting base.

I will be sure to avoid these debates, they are a cointoss. At least I lost to a high rated debater.

How do my Round 1 and Round 2 not explain that Taiwan being owned by China does not disrupt the world order and is just US overstepping despite China being very tolerant to US colonisation even at near its doorstep via Philippines?

All I can tell is that Oromagi and yourself would make very irrational leaders of a nation, you understand geopolitics all wrong if you think his rebuttals had any weight vs what I said.

I don't mind it, it tells me to avoid these debates because you can literally say any nonsense and it counts as valid, the weighting is quantitative and not qualitative so no strength can defeat talking a lot of nonsense. As for the real world application, I stand by what I said. US should not assist with military forces.

Not sure if you know but this is not a conspiracy theory:

I am not saying Pro's side has zero merit but not everybody understands how bad the capitol riots were.

Thank you for your vote.

The devil actually always struck me as odd even as a child. There is something about the devil that implies either God has an alter ego or there is a being literally able to defy God, neither made proper sense to me but I assert that Satan is not Lucifer and instead is an alter ego of God if the Bible is true.

DVDs are not really cheap btw but you are probably well-off and don't think of pricing in the same way. Regardless I'll handle the economics fully in Round 2.

The author of the vague voting standards of DART who wrote his own guide to debating can definitely leave a mediocre (or less than mediocre but not entirely poor) vote.

There is no guaranteed correlation there, he may of course be inclined to not leave a vote that totally violates the rules but that by no means he leaves a good one.
