Bring your best argument and come defend it!

In this forum, you need facts and skill to win the debate... attacks will not cut it.

Show me what you got!

debate often needs comparisson. if one compares a situation to Nazi Germany, will that be construed as a personal attack?
i bring up Nazi germany when the situation resembles that government/movement.

i use history to make comparissons, and have gotten critizized as "appologist".

will i have the freedom to debate with all the weapons at my disposal?

I think EVERYONE could learn a thing or two in such a forum if it were ACTIVELY moderated i.e. the moderator(s) actually interjected with tactical observations on both sides. Something like:

"RD, you are pursuing a tangent and not answering his question"

or

"RD, that is a straw man argument. You cannot build a premise like that and condition subsequent statements on it"

I've seen you guys do it before, usually to defend someone who's getting pummeled or is out of line, but it doesn't happen enough.

I think once people got used to staying within the boundaries of a real debate, this place could really improve.

That's right Weezy, we're movin' on up...............

Does anyone here truly understand the rules of debate?...
If so, will the mods enforce those rules?...

Actually, I like *****ing about the name calling, ad hominem attacks, and character slurs. Thats part of the fun of being on the mil.com forum's. But I'll take a look anyway.

What form of debate will be used and what rules will be used?...
Obviously "On line" debate, but what rules?
Will there be teams, who will assign the subject and what position and who will assign it to the debaters?...
Respectfully, SUNLINER81

That kinda stuff ran rampant back in 2004, I kinda miss it myself, but then again it got out of control. Just more days gone by Sarge. Beer
