a new forum idea

i think u guys should make a debate board. like debate/politics/world issues. i just think it would be awesome to know every1s views on stuff. talk about important issues, stuff like that. does any1 agree?

o and also. i was wondering how u become a moderator. do u have to be born special or can u turn into one? just wondering...

:)

I don't think we need a special debate board...we already have the "other" section.

Were you born with a sixth finger on your left hand? If not...then you can never be a moderator.

the other section is not enough for me!

well darn! *sigh* well... at least my cuzin can be a moderator then....

welll... might as well keep them orginized right?

I think its a good idea I have one on my site. This is how I set mine up:

Debate
We want both sides of the debates, 1. Suggesting a topic for a debate 2. Add your arguments to the debates 3. Suggest a Book & Links

Moderated Debate
Hot topic issues, in an orderly fashion. Moderators will pick the topics for you to debate, and set the time limit.

Example:
Censorship of the Arts

-----------------------------------------------------------

Debate Question: What is the right balance to strike between freedom of and restrictions upon artistic expression?

Here are some useful sites to help you with this debate. Please List the Pros and Cons of your opinion.
>>> American Civil Liberties Union
>>> Bonfire of Liberties
>>> University of Pennsylvania: Banned Books Online
>>> MIT Bookstore: Banned Book Month
>>> PBS: Culture Shock

I'm not....not on this forum page anyways.

Here I was showing an example of what and how they could do it.

I think debate would go under the "intelligence" board we were talking about in a previous post lol.

The requirement is a certain amount of brain cells and a working knowledge of words larger than the average vocabulary of a 4th grader :)

Seriously though, I think this should really be looked into. Debate, politics, philosophy, current events, news, etc.

i dont want an intelligence board. im not very smart as u can see :) and i dont like using big words either. i just like arguing and giving my view point on stuff. rather with people on my level.

Well you have a large vocabulary, so you're at least half in ;)

no hes not! hes staying on the stupid board with me! :)

Ummmm.... is it just me, or did some of these get deleted? lol

Actually you have mastered the art of rationalizing relativity to the actual post and whatever just happens to pop out of your brain and fingertips. I commend you for that, I really do.

Not everyone can be so hilariously (or dickishly) random and still prove a point.

o they got deleted!! haha i thought i was going insane...

ya so back to the topic at hand. can u guys make a debate board please?

Yes... I'd like that too.

and i would appreciate it if we could get some feedback here

*waits*

dont even try to get this board off of the first page its not gunna work
