Do you debate? And if so, are you aggressive or passive in your approach?

You’re kicking their ass so far, Seiben. More pedestrian arguments from people not familiar with the topic.

Btw I don’t want anyone from this site to go over and vote for me (or against me). It puts me at an advantage if I increase the voting pool with people who know me and are more likely to be anarchists.

I debate at my local yacht club. To conform to naval tradition, we call it “mast-debating”. I also participate in large, simultaneous debate sessions with the whole floor in my apartment. We call it “mass-debating”.

What’s wrong?Don’t want a little…inflation?

^Good thing I just read your last comment Sieben, I was about to do that.

I hope not.

Why not think in terms of works or does not work rather than aggressive or passive?

You don’t mast-debate?

Hi Sieben. I left you a private message in the “Conversations” link on this forum (upper right link on the page).

I doubt it. Sigmoid colon. He’s saying you have your head up your arse.

Copy-and-paste from the post immediately above the edit area, and insert “quote” and “/quote” in square brackets at the start and end.

Hi Sieben. I left you a private message in “Conversations”.

"The incentives of a monopoly legal system are so perverse that hoping for a benign outcome is Utopian. " -sieben

Nice.

…Thank you.

I am atm, I let myself get suckered into an arguement with some I have no idea who they are (think one, maybe both is a neo-con) about the NYC mosque- and they are perfectly okay with trampling property rights in the name of “taste” and are throwing neat attacks on Mid east in general, who’s at fault and b/c of “them” being at fault, we can tramble their rights, and need to be there shooting at them

The debate that Sieben had started on Debate.org about Anarchism has been completed:

What do you think?

She said she favors non-aggressive non-monopolistic government.

If the community had any experience in debate circles like UIL/NFL/tap they would vote her down instantly. No one on that site flows arguments or understands/recognizes abuse.

I wish we could have done wildwest judging. I choose someone, she chooses someone, and then they choose someone else and all three vote on the outcome. So far its just a bunch of kids.

I try to debate all of the time. I’m pretty aggressive in my approach because I want to see reactionary when I debate with stubborn people in a private setting (just one-on-one debate), it at least gives me an opportunity of what NOT to argue in an important debate. For example, I’ve learn to not include the economy when arguing for the legalization of drugs. They’ll end up saying something like, “Yeah, well we could also lower the drinking age to 10 so more people buy alcohol and then little kids would get drunk. Or we could erase the underage sex laws and little girls would get raped. But as long as it will help prostitution rings get money and help the GDP go up!” People do say that. And then I would end up sounding like a heartless person, etc.

Conclusion: For private one-on-one debates, I’m aggressive and try to find different ways of approaching an argument. For public debates with an audience, I’m passive in my approach because I like to watch my opponents say the wrong things so I can lash back out at them. It’s fun to watch people get nervous and squirm around.

I completely agree, she’d be voted down in any formal debate competition.

But since this “e-debate” is a free for all, she’ll throw anything and everything at the wall, until something sticks (e.g., introducing Somalia vs Switzerland at the very last round, without any possibility of rebuttal), so anything goes.

Here is my favorite debate of hers on Black Holes:

To enhance the website, the debate participants should be allowed to mutually pick a judge or a panel of judges to decide the debate.


(No), I would (not) encourage folks on Mises.org to vote on this debate, that would be (un)fair, so (don’t) do it:
