CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
It's interesting... this site had been taken over by trolls and now it seems to be kids that have filled the vacuum. I wonder what the next wave with be.
You know what, you got me there. His last 30 or so debates aren't actually b!tching, they're just asking reviews for all kinds of media and entertainment. That's more like being a debate pussy.
But then same answer. Nomenclature would win because Mathfan is just a big pussy.

In case it has escaped your notice, this site has been in a perpetual state of a broken down bar which requires a good cleaning up starting from the roots if it were ever to flourish into the intellectual bastion intended. Now, you have been on this site for years, and have failed to come up with so much as 1 half decent idea to contribute to this effort for which has taken hold. Furthermore, it is not even clear you understand what such an effort/end-goal could conceivably look like, even though there are a number of other sites which are more active & cleaned up.
Those Threads are providing formatting models that may or may not take hold. There is certainly no shortage of topics as such.

Interestingly, you are the one avoiding debate and venting to a third-party (which I just happen to stumble upon). In truth, perhaps it is best to allow the weak (e.g. Grenache) to have their side gossip/venting virtual therapy session. You have been utterly unable to earn the respect of your peers through your participation on this Forum, as tends to be a problem for the weak. Then, rather than chose the more difficult (yet successful) path of self-improvement, you have taken the all to tempting road (for the weak of mind & spirit) of attempting to sabotage/under-cut the competition.
The first thing I got about you is that you think the economy should be run differently.. You don't think people who run companies should be able to run them like they want to.. You think, as a consumer, or an activist that you can somehow change it.
You can't..
You ARE to be commended for your effort. However, as long as people can change identities and crap all over the boards, nothing will change...
What was so GREAT about this site, is the LACK of moderators.. What's WRONG with this site, is the LACK of moderators..
Absolute freedom looks GREAT if one can handle absolute freedom.. Unfortunately, SOME of us can't..
Depends on the topic, and the time you hold it. I have two small kids and work. Which is primarily why my responses are short and scattered. Others in here seem to have full time to devote.
I understand other obligations will pull away from the time you have available. As of now, it seems likely we will be doing 48 hour rounds per team to respond (per round). Topics will be determined by a community 'pool', where each participating member can put in a few suggestion that will be voted on by the community. Also, some 'default' topics will be provided from IntelligenceSquared and Oxford Union
OK, I'll join in one at some point, but probably more toward the summer when I have a little more free time. If I'm going to do it I don't want to do it half arse.
Yes, you work too hard at trying to be seen to be at odds with your imaginary adversary.
A couple months ago (or so), you made this same assertion i.e. Nom & I are the same person. At the time, I corrected this and assumed this was due to me being quite new to the Forum, while Nom has a reputation lower then the bottom of a garbage dump on CD (especially for alt-account/talking to himself sort of antics). Thus, that was 'water-under-the-bridge'.
Now, I find a continued belief in such a border-line conspiracy theory to be baffling--particular considering that you are amongst the minority of strong members for which I even bother continuing with this site. I would have thought you above it
@ x, Firstly, let me thank you for your kind words.
Without trying to form a 'mutual admiration society' I would return the compliment by stating that, as you must have noticed, I respect and concur with most of your posts.
To put a my personal slant on your quoted adage, yes ' we all passed a lot of water since then.
There are so many aliases on this site one could be forgiven for thinking that its membership is only about half a dozen actual members plus all the alts.
I mean, why did you come to the rescue of 'dumbertwos?
Maybe I am indeed over suspicious, but it's part of my psyche' which stood me well when in business.
Well, I'll continue to work my side of the street and you work yours but I'm sure we will can still give each other a supportive wave regularly.

Show me one example of me ever talking to myself you desperate fucking idiot. I literally shut my old account down before opening this one, you pathetically infantile, pathologically dishonest carbon thief.

You understand that you are talking to a neo-Nazi, right?
I suspect you may have given the game away here. Given that you agree with Antrim on just about everything, and given that your writing styles are borderline indistinguishable from one another, it would be logical to suspect that in fact you and Antrim are the same person. How else can you explain the fact that you both have used the precise same lie about me arguing with myself through a variety of alter egos? It is clearly a lie, since you cannot produce a shred of evidence to support it. So why would you both use the precise same lie by sheer coincidence?
I think you might actually be madder than even I gave you credit for.
When I listed the most effective real life fighting styles the other day I forgot about one: Brazilian Ju Jitsu. In my opinion, boxing, kickboxing and wrestling are most advantageous in situations where you outweigh your opponent, or at least are of similar builds. There is only so much you can do before the laws of physics begin to dictate the outcome. However, if you are weak or small and are looking for the best form of fighting against bigger guys then nothing tops BJJ.
I'm neither weak nor small, but a couple years back I choked a guy out in the street. He was drunk as a sailor and was acting really delusional and aggressive. I feinted a punch, and when he reacted I used my strength to drag him to the ground, with him on top but with his back resting against my chest. From there I just locked my legs around his waist in a triangle and squeezed his neck with my arms. He was unconscious in less than thirty seconds.
Well well well, aren't you the grown up little wanna be Randy Orton
Randy Orton? Lol. Wtf? You know the WWE is fake, right? It's choreographed like a ballet. Randy Couture might be a bit closer to the mark.
Like all phonies you can talk a good fight.
You will find that all fighters also talk a good fight, on account of them being fighters.
Have you been at the menthylated spirits again?
That joke may have been funny the first time it was used, but since that was in 1987 the entire internet just facepalmed in perfect symphony.
You're right about one thing though, Ju Jitsu is the real number one, something you'll never be, nor never have been in real life.
Awwww... It sounds mad. Sucks that you can't put me in a detention camp, hey bro?
You're a blustering, bombastic charlatan full of shit.
Unfortunately, the problem with desperately trying to impress people with synonyms you've extracted from www.thesaurus.com is that your incredibly poor sentence structure exposes precisely what you have done. The sentence you have written is a grammatical clusterfuck which would not be out of place in the homework of an 11 year old boy with severe dyspraxia.
