Ideally

If only, lol. Thanks for the perspective!

This feels pretty accurate, too. It really just comes down to expectations, I think

🤣 Love it

I 100% agree

This seems like a good strategy. I like it

What does the word debate mean to you?

Edit for clarity: In the context of a formal, moderated event.

I downloaded this along with the VBs complete library...

It's easily the best 3d experience I've ever had with my 3DS! It's really well done, especially with the New 3DS' eye tracking.

I can finally play Telero Boxer and Mario Tennis again. 😁

Let me try it this way...

If you had a coworker who got a new dog. They were excited and told everyone in the office about him.

Couple months later this coworker throws a party. When you get to their house, they excitedly show you the new dog, but when what you see is clearly a cat.

Which are you more likely to think? "What an interesting looking dog." or "Sir, that is a cat."

He said it was a dog, and everyone attending was expecting to see a dog. It wasn't a dog.

How about this scenario:

You have a disagreement with your neighbor about the property line. You mutually agree to settle it with a debate.

Your neighbor spends the entire time talking over you, sidestepping virtually every point you make, blatantly lying, personally insulting you and airing grievances.

You participate in good faith and the moderator decides that the property line should follow your plans.

Did you and your neighbor engage in a debate?

Here is an opinion: Donald Trump is neither classically or emotionally intelligent enough to engage in an actual, by definition, debate.

Good blowjobs are hard. Don't hate.

I just mean the whole end times culture over there, but yeah...basically. That and religious grifters, with a sprinkling of true believers.

I find it all fascinating.

Right. But no boxing took place.

If there were only two cars would it have been a race?

It was called a race, people expected to see a race, but no race took place.

It was not a race.

Are we talking noodles and all or just the seasoning packets?

I'm down either way, I just gotta know what I'm getting into.

But were they debates? Can we really call them that?

I know that's what the forum called for, but I saw zero debating.

Jerry Springer episodes had more debating going on.

"End Times" YouTube is amazing right now, just saying...

Trump doesn't debate anyone ever. He shows up and steamrolls the other person with his version of reality.

And when he's done, he flips the table, shits on it, and then declares victory...

...and his base fucking eats it up with a -smile.-

It's baffling.

Yeah, man... The dudes a shit show. I won't argue with that. But Trump it will be so, so much worse if Trump gets a second term.

My plan is to try amd get Biden in soley because were up against a clock, but we need to do some serious soul searching as a country...

We either fix it, or this fight's gonna just keep repeating itself until authoritanism goes full mask off.

Show me where Biden or his campaign/administration have stated or implied that he is the only person that can protect the country.

If you can I'll take the L an stfu

How is it relevant here?

Are you a person that says "Breaking a bone hurts too!” if someone complains about a sprained ankle?

...asking me if I want a cookie. Smh, dude. You're the one in a post about Trump whatabouting someone else.

You need to employ whataboutism in a weak attempt to feel relevant in a conversation about an awful person?
