I'm open for challenges!!!

How about "Is Alpert one of the ''good'' guys?" Is he helping the island, or is he using the island?


(just a personal goofy debate.... Is Faraday a Kirk guy or a Picard guy? )

Faraday...neither Kirk nor Picard.

More like Doc Brown from Back To The Future

Daniel Faraday... Picard
Me... Kirk

OK, here are a few:

1. Did the island actually move? I would argue that it didn't
2. Did Ben abdicate control of the island and turn the wheel out of self-sacrifice or was it part of his plan (in other words, he's still in control)? I would argue that Ben is still in control. This could also be rewritten to argue who has greater control over the island at this point-Ben or Locke? I would argue that Ben does
3. Don't really have a third...how about: Is Jin dead or alive? I would argue that he's alive

Wow, Hope. Pressures mounting. Will she keep the title. Find out on the next episode of .... No, you dont like it. Ok.

Alright Jax, I accept your challenge to debate 'Jack - hero or coward' You picked Jack is a coward right? My twins birthday is this weekend so I would suggest open debate on wednesday.

I just need to know how this going to work considering that I am supposed to send my opening argument to you. I think that I need to send it to another moderator, not that I am telling you how to run your own site. Just think its more fair that way. Just tell me who to send it to.

Yeah Jax, I Hadn't considered that in the debate rules I sent to you. Perhaps you should add a part that says that when the site admin is involved in the debate that the arguments should be posted by another moderator. or perhaps just copied to them when they ar submitted.

Of course, I really don't think its that big a deal since there is not much you can do in your position to influence the course of the debate beyond the arguments you put forth.

Of course, its only fair that we send our arguments to one of the mods so I can remain completely in the dark to your argument until it is posted I'll ask one of the mods.

Wednesday is fine too

Oh yay im so pleased you picked me

I hope I didn't sound uninterested about this. I have a major headache and a big party coming up. I am really excited also.

I was just worried that I was taking to long in my decision. I can't wait to debate with you Jax, this will be fun!!

honestly hun thats ok, you dont have to explain yourself here

wednesday suits me perfectly as im working solidly up until then

Woo, cant wait for this next debate!

I'm looking forward to this debate. My opinion of on Jack is open to suggestion so I'm hoping i can be converted one way or another. Bring it on Girls.

Agreed, my mind isnt made up yet either.

Good luck to both of you. I promise I will leave my prior feelings towards Jack at the door at the start of the debate. May the best debater win.

Yes MSHL arguments based on known facts from the series, rather than conjectures about unknown possibilities, are much better for really testing to determine who argues the facts better; otherwise, we just end up disagreeing or agreeing on arguments which in our opinion seems most possible/likely.

This debate topic is really good as we do have a great deal of evidence to draw on. Evidence that draws us one way and then another.

An excellent idea and one that sound right to me.

+1

Stitch

Yes Stitch, I think this will prove to be the longest debate as we have so much to debate. Similat to the first debate, where we had 3 and a half series to look up.

I also expect a lot of Desmond-Jack parallels drawn.

TheHolyStickman

Stitch, can we send our arguments to you?

I am so nervous, because my opinion of Jack isn't really set yet either...eeee...I am worried about all I have to look up and everything...Monday and Tuesday nights are going to be busy for me. Good luck Jax.

Good luck to you too

I have a lot of research to do too, this should be a good one!

Nooooooo, act confident or else SunnyP will eat you alive in the debate. Lets see if you can defend your title as well as Lojozz did.

Good luck SunnyP. I don't have my mind made up about Jack yet so I want some good arguments to get my vote!

TheHolyStickman

I'm with HSM on this one.
I both like Jack and Dislike him, but I want to like him.

But you cant like him, the island wont let you.
