Basically this is what i am thinking:

*people vote for 5 people on their preferred team.
*once the 5 people on each side, the 10 people chosen choose who gets to be the judges.
*people get to vote for one of the topic out of 5 topics chosen.
*each person on each side gets one constructive post, and two deconstructive posts, used to tear down the opposing arguments.

Anyone coming up with the topics or interested being a debator?


Possible debators:
Ninja Scooter
Memles
Kinesis

Possible judges:
Memles

what? this isn't GAF style!

<tittle>BUSH says NUKE 'EM </title>

<body>
***this is not a real quote*** President Bush said today that he is happy with the US's nuclear arsenal and has no plans to further decrease the amount of nuclear warheads.

What an ass, he's going to nuke Iran and then N. Korea, that's why he doesn't want to get rid of nukes.</body>


Now that's debate, GAF style.

This would only work if the participants had to argue a point simply ludicrious on it's face but, something people would really want to know the anwser to. For example "What is the ideal penis size needed for anal penetration?"


I can insure you that by page three charts and surveys will have been used. We probably would have a pre-med student or two chime in with a factoid about the digestive system.

About anal penetration, isnt the ass something that gets itself "into shape" the more its used. So it is probably something that varies woman to woman initially.

How do you enforce a time limit for online debate? Without that, there is utterly no fun in it.

I am thinking a post limit for each debator instead of a time limit, so it is more about articulation rather than how fast a person can type. But how many posts each person has should be settles once the debators have been finalised and the topics too.

I'm not quite sure how it will work; "Post" count doesn't really work, because you could get huge ass posts in that way.

Perhaps giving each person on each side one constructive post, and two deconstructive posts, used to tear down the opposing arguments.

As long as you don't start debating American History pre-Mid 20th Century on me, I'm game. Although, as an actual debater, I hate boring foreign policy cases. Crazy, sensational cases argued in a slightly serious matter are far more entertaining. I'd be happy to "judge" as well.

Very nice memles. Thats a good idea for the format, i will add it to the original topic. You like things like "should primary schools be teaching about contraception?" vs "Should America have its own free healthcare system?"

I might be interested if the topics were stupid enough. We have normal debates all the time, but if it were to be truly GAF, it should be about things relative to the GAF community, such as Lindsey Lohan's hotness, the new Bright Eyes albums, or Black Stallion's quality as a poster.

I personally want to know and argument on a "real life fight club". Pros and cons. Probably be one sided as the pros will win.

Since those types of foreign objects are a foreign concept to me I didn't quite catch on.
I can't help those of you who deviate into those types of practices...

I however am not familiar with such things.

You sound paranoid, it was just a joke. Why don't you go ahead and claim to have never heard of bisexualism so we can be sure.

Oh I have, It's like Canabilism to me, I don't mind the people that partake.
It's just not my style.

But those who get there jollies that way, do your thing!
