Straw he/him Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 When we have 5 members not including me the formal debates shall begin!
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What type of things will you be debating?
Orlion Blight he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What type of things will you be debating? All the things! 1
Bugsy he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I will join, depending on the subjects. Hoping for RL international topics like the demilitarization of space and disarmament of WMDs. Of course, I'd be willing to debate things on a smaller scale as well, but I'm best suited to MUN sort of things Edited March 23, 2016 by Bugsy6912
Voidus Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'll probably be around and occasionally contribute but this obviously has the potential to get into dangerous territory so mostly I'll hang around for mod reasons which means I can't be too involved. Which is a shame because I do enjoy debating.Oh and not that sharders ever need this reminder but just a reminder to all to keep things civil, debates are not the same thing as arguments.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 So, are we going to just jump into polarizing topics such as whether or not hot dogs are a sandwich?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What? No. If the two pieces of bread are connected, like in a hotdog bun, then it's not a sandwich.
Delightful Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) That's a question? No. Never. Unless you cut up the sausage into little slices but then it's a sausage sandwhich and not a hotdog. Here's a real polarising question: what's the best shape of pasta? Edited March 23, 2016 by Delightful
Delightful Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Apparently my favourite kind is called Fusilloni. Now I can sound educated
ThirdGen Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What? No. If the two pieces of bread are connected, like in a hotdog bun, then it's not a sandwich. Then what has Subway been serving all this time?
Orlion Blight he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Not to mention that you have the following : -open face sandwiches -People making a sandwich with one slice of folded bread -The big Mac which uses three pieces of bread It would seem that the number of slices of bread is irrelevant to an object's status as a sandwich.

Open face sandwiches aren't sandwiches. The second one is a good point though. And I don't have any experience with big mac's so no comment.Then what has Subway been serving all this time?Subs. Duh.So what are you guy's definition of sandwiches?
Straw he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Found this online:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwichlook under usage for a court ruling on sandwiches.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Open face sandwiches aren't sandwiches. The second one is a good point though. And I don't have any experience with big mac's so no comment. Subs. Duh. So what are you guy's definition of sandwiches? Thinking about it, I'm inclined to agree with you that open faced sandwiches are not sandwiches. Mainly because I think sandwiches have an "on the go" accessibility to them. Any commestibles that require a fork and knife to eat can't be a sandwich, I believe.We can do the formal setup for the debates, but in between the official formal debates, I'm going to spar over silly things.
Straw he/him Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Each weekend we will have a formal debate. Inbetween feel free to spar over silly things like Orlion does. Edited March 23, 2016 by ThatTinyStrawMan
Darkness Ascendant he/him Posted March 24, 2016 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) I used to do debating. Mad second speaker. ll those rebuttals and annoying team advisors. Those were the days. "Cookies are great, give to get mates. Good morning adjudicator, timekeeper and audience. Today, we, the affirmative side, agree that giving cookies get you mates and that they are great. Cookies are a type of baked good typically made with choc chips and sometimes oatmeal. Mates are good friends. At least here in Australia." Oh god. can't continue EDIT_ Forgot to say I wanted to join and to ask what's the first topic Edited March 24, 2016 by A peasant among wolves
Straw he/him Posted March 24, 2016 Author Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) On weekdays there are no formal topics so just squabble over coffee, pugs, and hot dogs. Edited March 25, 2016 by ThatTinyStrawMan
