Prince Elite Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 After receiving high-level clearance from a confidential source, thanks Steve. I've decided to set up this random debate topic, nominate a topic and debate it, quite simple really. For the purposes of consistency, I ask that you allow a reasonable time between topic changes.

Drasiana Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Isn't "random debate topics" what this entire forum is for? Didn't you pick a topic by asking if all the media hype for them was necessary? Why didn't you just make a topic about that alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Elite Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Well there's a topic right there we can use. If a random debate topic is needed in a debate forum. I say it could be used, then you have all sorts of mini-debates and is less rigid than entire threads about individual things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 So you want threads within threads? How is this going to work? It sounds like it'll be an absolute mess, because people will be trying to debate all sorts of different prompts and then it'll be impossible to keep track of things. If someone really wants to debate a topic, they'll make a thread about it, no? Also, what constitutes a "mini-debate"? It's still a debate.

unoservix Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 YO DAWG WE HERD YOU LIKE DEBATE THREADS SO WE PUT A DEBATE THREAD IN YO DEBATE THREAD SO YOU CAN DEBATE WHILE YOU DEBATE srsly how is this supposed to work, like, someone walks in and just says "Abortion!" and everyone argues over that, and then someone else walks in and says "Illegal immigration!" and everyone argues over that, and then someone else walks in and says "Climate change!" and everyone argues over that, and etc?

"User" Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm also not seeing how a topic like this work because, like the previous two posters pointed out it's just going to end up being one confusing and conflicting mess. It would be much better to just start up individual topics instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZM Anonymous Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You know? This topic is actually pointless. This whole forum is here pretty much for the purpose of debate. Then again by some twisted black magic from hell, it has succeeded in giving you something to debate: How dysfunctional this kind of thread really is. Crappy topic? Clever mindfuck? you decide.
