Challenge to the King...Debate topics

Allrighty, I have three topics that Old King Lojozz can choose from. One new one and the two old ones that were not picked. I challenge you your Majesty.

1) Do you think that the smoke monster is natural or man made. I would argue that it was natural.

2) Is the pre-crash interconnectedness of the Lost characters random chance? I would argue that it is not random chance.

3) Basket-case Jack from the flash forwards- Was this always his true destiny or was it caused by his experiences on the island. I would argue that this was caused by events on the island.


4) Do you think Radiohead is the best band ever. (TheHolyStickman made me put this)

I await your decision. Hail to the thief.

By EggSnake

1) I agree, the smoke monster is naturally made, perhaps even biblical. This thing is an ancient spirit who is protector of the island.

2) I think that fate is something that brought all of these folks together, so no, not random chance.

3) Jack still has not reached his full destiny, and it is not to become a drug addict and alcoholic. He was meant to save people, but also to learn and accept when he cannot. Jack needs serenity, and must bring Aaron back to the island, that is his destiny now.

4) Radiohead is a very good band, but I would not say the best. My band, Return to Nothing, is the best. No, I like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Led Zeppelin, etc.

Hi five for Tailie Lost_Dbutz

Hey theggsnake I like your enthusiasm but I need a couple of days off. Lets get through the finale and see what that throws up and if nothing more urgent needs debating then I would take number 3.

Ok thats fine

Why number three Lojozz. Four is still there, just sitting all lonley.

Give the man a break...jeeeezzzzzzze
He has just been throught a harrowing and exhausing debate, he needs a bit of a break.

Okay, breaks over, get back to work!


"...with great power comes great responsibility...and a shitload of typing apparently"

MSHL Is it considered odd when you're sat in a room on your own chuckling, you just made me do it (not IT, chuckle)

I know that you need a few days, but why I am here and thinking of it, I think it would be fun to debate whether or not Ben is "one of the good guys".

Hope agreed. I would love to get stuck into that one. Which side would you argue? Thats not a challenge by the way. Im just interested.

Ben is def. the good guy!!! He just does things his way and he has women problems. He becomes fully committed to whatever he is doing.

My gut tells me that, but I think the argument against is a way easier one to debate.

yeah but if I were to debate this, I would have to go with my gut, which tells me that Ben is the good guy

Well hope if you were to challenge you would have the luxury of going with your gut. I have to debate the side Im given.

Im still not certain there was a plan to bring the losties to the island, certainly not one that will be tangibly explained.

I would love to challenge you, I am just intimidated is all. But oh well, sure, when you are ready, and want to except my challenge, I would kick your butt

Well Hope I see no reason to be intimidated and thus far its the argument I would prefer to take on, but I do think in a few hours time this question could be negated and many more could come to the fore.

Well, if nothing does, the challenge is there. But your right, after tonight the debate topics will probably be juicier

OK Hope if nothing comes up I will look forward to you 'Kicking my butt'

LOL! Awesome! It would be awesome if I got to post with that awesome avatar!!! Hehehe

Hope and Lojozz, 10 rounds coming to a pay per view near you. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!

VTD I bet you stand by the tennis courts and egg young men on to feats of pugilism!


This crown is heavy but I wont let it go without a fight.

I would like to offer a challenge: Is Jack, deep down, a coward or a hero? I would argue he is a coward, for reasons I will go into if you accept my challenge

I think a good one would be John Locke - Murder or suicide I know we dont have much info about it, but ... it could work.

SBP I would love to debate you, though I would probably like to argue the same side as you, I reckon I could have a good a good stab at the other side (arguing for Jack does go against the grain though erck)


That said I think Hope's challenge still stands (even though my side is way tougher to argue after the finale). So Hope I take the challenge if you still want it, otherwise its me and the boss.

We need to agree deadlines and stuff if you agree.
