    You have to win a debate to save your life, which posters from here do you choose?

    If you had to win a debate to save your life, which 2 posters from here would you put on your own team to win the debate?

    This. They can just ban the opponent.

    To answer the question; it depends on the type of debate, and I don't really know that many posters on here by their names, rather their avatars.

    I haven't seen anyone with impressive comprehension and discussion skills in this forum. At best, flawed logics, rubbish links...I hardly ever see someone linking scientific material while discussing. Even if it's linked, it is mostly not understood. Most have an opinion when they should not, most express their ideas without any clue. Worst part is they are so deadly ignorant that they don't know they have no clue... Endus makes sense, sometimes, I give him that but that's about it I guess.

    /rant off

    ps: I meant no offense to anyone, just my observation. So take it what its worth.

    I'm the same, but it's a local scope. Once I'm in a new thread, I don't really pay attention to who's posting, and what other threads they've posted in.

    On topic: Gheld, Reeve, Dinnerbone?. Myself, if that's allowed, heh.

    My ideal debate partner?

    Illana from the Hunter subforum.

    She (he?) will never be swayed from her own argument by simple things like logic or reason. Never. After three or four hours your opponent would simply give up and go away in a frustrated rage.

    blizzard, thier word is law.

    Who needs logic when you can argue without logic.

    Skroesec, Endus, Didactic. Definitely the most professional and well written.

    Endus. Been watching this forum for a long time, and he makes the most rational logical sense.

    wouldn't that pertain to smiling for the camera like mitt romney and making out like everything's fine and dandy all the time?

    Depends on the topic, honestly. A lot of the people here have tons of knowledge in
    one field, but little to none in another, (as most people do.) So yeah, knowing the
    topic would really help.

    Nakura Chambers and Saladrin, because the opponents would concede in desperation.


    OK, more seriously? Reeve and maybe Rich.

    Yeah, that's a solid lineup. NostopIt and swineflu would work in that regard as well.

    Well I don't think I can get you off the death penalty. But I think I can get the sentence commuted to being drowned in puppies.
