    I want to have a two-on-two debate Republicans vs Democrats. Since I fall more on the liberal side of the spectrum than the conservative, on most issues, I will be on the Democrat side. I need a partner and two opponants.

    The way the debate will go down is there will be two issues chosen. One member of each team will give a Opening Statement, a Rebuttle of their opponant's opening statement, and a conclusion.

    Then the two remaining team members will do the same for the second issue.

    We will have a poll made to see who the forum members think one on each issue. The total votes for each issue will be added up and the total votes overall will determine the winning team.

    I will have a poll made to see what members want to see as the issues once we have the teams chosen.

    I'm in.

    Assign me a side if this is meant to be a proper debate.

    Even on the forums they don't want a 3rd voice in the debate.

    A debate is two opposing sides of an argument. You cannot expect that your world view will be represented in a way that satisfies you criteria of worthy of defence.

    It is a debate. The subject is cursory.

    I'm up for it.

    Give me a position, and I'm good to go.

    In the interest of entertainment, FC and I should probably not be on the same team. Otherwise... it is going to require a particularly strong and well reserved opposing team.
