The CreateDebate Awards 2013
The Snappys is the leading international award honoring excellence in Internet Debating and all things CreateDebate. Established in 2011, The Snappys represent an intellectually diverse cross section of our global membership. The Snappys present honors in many categories, categories that you the membership help choose. Not only do you get to suggest award categories, but you, the online community, determine the winners of the Snappys by voting for the nominee that you believe to be the best in each category.
History of the name Snappy – The Snappys are named in honor of long time Mad Magazine writer Al Jaffee and his Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions Series. I was a big fan of his work growing up and it seemed appropriate to name the awards in his honor.
EXTENDED - Nominations for Catergories will be accepted (below) from today until June 30th. Voting will open June 30th, 2013 and closes on **FRIDAY**, August 16th, 2013. Winners will be announced by Sunday August 18th.

Process – Categories, Nominees and Voting Every Category will be a standalone perspective debate. I will be the one creating each category debate, so if you have categories you would like added, please message me at ADDLTD. I will link from the main debate to each category debate in order and will list the number of categories on the main debate, and the category number on each subsequent debate so you can follow from the first to the last to vote. Anyone can enter anybody as a nominee, but please be sure you spell their user ID correctly, because we have some active users who have very similar user IDs. Nominees should be entered as an argument in the format Nominee Name – Reason for Nomination. Please vote this up to the top so everyone can read it!

NO! Prodigee, and others like "it", should NOT get any awards whatsoever. Not even "sock-puppet accounts"... This will only make "it" want to do more. I don't care if I get any awards, to be honest. They matter nothing to me. Further, to help a troll get an award, especially like Prodigee (???), nahhhhh. 1

You are, yet again, making objective statements for things that are necessarily subjective for the atheist. Morality does not exist in the absolute for the atheist--it is merely converted to moral preference. That, therefore, is the equivalent to saying that one likes blue rather than red. I am anything but morally bankrupt in philosophy; in action, though, I am. 1

I wouldn't call any debate with him a win. The reason is because, how can you say you won a debate? Because you presented more info? Info that already existed. Because you got the last word? Well that's not really grounds for an argument, that could go on forever. If I had to define a win, it'd be win one party learns something they didn't know, and or realizes the mistakes in what they know. Surely you didn't teach him the error of his ways, and certainly you didn't learn anything from the debate. Did you? |
