I do. Count me in the “winner/aggessive” category. I’ve always managed to snag a couple supporters who’ve PMed me during/after such debates. After all, since the only people you’re REALLY after are the “viewers”, isn’t it best to show how badly the other side does when faced with a challenge?
Debate where? I went to 5A state (top 16) in Lincoln-Douglas debate, but that’s highschool stuff.
Anywhere, really. E-debates count too.
Educate me about the where/when/how of e-debating.
There’s debate.org and probably similar websites, though I would imagine mosst know little or nothing about Austrian economics or even economics in general. And of course you can debate on mises.org or any internet forum.
Sweet I just created an account at debate.org. Same username. Waiting for some bait!
No one join. I want to see what their community has.
Waltz into any forum that has a political or even a general section.
Find a topic that you vehemently disagree with, and go from there.
Alternatively, go onto YouTube. ANY political video there is bound to give you at least ONE person who disagrees with you.
That debate site looks pretty sweet, actually.
Sieben, I’m rather looking forward to this. I’ve sifted through the debates there in search of some decent economics but have found none. Sometimes one side seemed knowledgeable but both never were. If you get a competent opponent this could be pretty interesting, especially to one such as me who is on the fence about anarchism.
Someone has decided to debate you, Sieben. I’m eager to see how this goes.
I got someone who believes in limited democracy. This will be juicy.
I got bored and also am participating in this debate.
You all are free to give me help/criticism.

I’m looking forward to these
I thought my approach to the anti-lobbying guy was kind of cheeky 
I’ve been debating with some pro-war neoconservatives on a local Tea Party meetup group website. Lately they’ve been rabid about the Mosque issue. I’ve tried reductio ad absurdum, suggesting that if Muslims are at war with us, then we would be justified in demanding all Muslims renounce Islam or be killed. Surprisingly they didn’t deny my claims, they only told me that we have to do what is necessary since we are at war with Islam.
I think I’m winning though, recently one person told me, “I think you have done your self administered sigmoid examination long enough.” What is “sigmoid examination” anyway?
I’d imagine they’ve trying to use Sigmund Freud’s name, but couldn’t even bother to spellcheck that.
I’m disappointed that you didn’t use the term anarcho-capitalism, Sieben. Good work so far, though.
My only complaint here is that I wasn’t the one to say what you said. My god, my blood wasn’t boiling, but it was certainly sauteed by the end of her “Response”.
Sieben,
Why didn’t you use the term anarcho-Capitalism? Is “anarcho-Capitalism” an unnecessary distinction?
Wow, you did an excellent job. I’m impressed.
It looks like you are debating the site’s #1 debater, 100 percentile, won 95% of 272 debates. She is #1 on the top 10 list. I would say she is on the ropes in round #2.
I’ve never seen a debate website like that, it is quite intense.
