An extremely weird idea for a debate thread Inflate your Upload Space

Ok, here is my weird idea. (I know you all are just sitting on the edge of your chairs, wondering what my weird idea is )

I will start by making a statement. Someone else, whom I will call "Bobo," has to refute it. Then someone has to refute Bobo's arguments. However, it cannot be me. Someone else, whom I shall call, "Bobo II" has to do it. However, once Bobo II has countered Bobo's points, Bobo can't argue back. In other words, you refute the last post's argument, but you can't have two of the last three posts.

Two more rules:

You must quote the post you are refuting at least once. This avoids confusion as to whom you are talking.

If two posts are made arguing against the same point because of cross posting, it is up to the next poster to choose which one to continue the debate against.


Here's the statement:

The US can keep itself safe from Kim Jong Il's nuclear weapons by using this policy:

- Pull all troops out of Korea so they do not feel threatened.

- Allow North Korea to produce nuclear weapons if it chooses.

- Offer to pay more for its than any other institution if it wants to sell them. The US is easily able to pay for them faster than Korea can make them.


Ok, now somebody quote and argue. Your post will be exempt from any counterattacks by me.

Actually, no, not really.

Do I get credit for that rebuttal?

Well to your point, we could come up with debate teams like BD and Sergeant Sheets and Lordstone and GS and those silly billies had.

I want variety... maybe I should find a better new one though. The diagonal doesn't look good on a small size picture.

OK, two question for the next few people who post here...

1. Is this thread's spam funny, or should I ask that it be closed?

2. Who wants Jessie back?

Is your problem with it that Beyonce isn't hot, or is it that its a bad picture of her?

I'm searching for one now.

BTW its funny that in one post a poly thread can go from nukes to spam.
