Im more than heppy with my vote not counting due to post count, but i do hope you’re not implicating me as one of these “friends” you speak of.
I took the time to read through the discussion thoroughly and base a decision on logic. With me its a matter of pride - that is why I set up a thread asking to judge a debate for others. Im not interested in debating just trying my hand as a judge.
Don’t worry B., tragic is just being an ass.
Shit, I think we have our first of three Judges, Tab.
How about each of us gets to pick a judge, or Barcelonic can find two, whichever you prefer.
Since I support Stoic’s position, as dictator, I say that my vote is worth 10000 points, while all the rest of the votes here for Tab, because he is popular, and has a lot of friends who support him SUBJECTIVELY, not OBJECTIVELY, Stoic still wins.
This “debate” is not over. It’s still a matter of whether votes “decide” anything, and they don’t. Stoic wins, because a dictator declares it so. No amount of “voting” is going to solve this. That’s why dictators are so awesome.
Now SUCK ONT HAT!!! 
traj,
There must be some reason you need to be the epitomy of assholdom… is it because you’re dying? If it is, hurry…
Damn
Don’t you worry, I’ll be dead and buried soon enough, and your resentment will find your release.
As for this debate, it’s not over until Stoic is convinced the legitimacy of this resolution is through the DICTATORSHIP of one indvidual, or the voting of the masses. Tab wins if he convinces Stoic that all of these votes “count” for shit. They don’t though. Popularity does not make you true, right, smart, cool, or whatever. Popularity doesn’t mean shit, or a god damned thing, except that you’re popular. Tab has that down pat, admittedly.
But sometimes truth is UNPOPULAR. And Stoic knows this. And so, let’s see the UNPOPULAR TRUTH win this one. Stoic wins, because the dictators says so. Votes do not count. Only men with great willpower mean anything in this world, or have any value at all. And we do not “vote” on willpower. It is an aspect of your soul, you either have it or you don’t. You can’t fake it.
Just because Tab is popular, as predicted, doesn’t make him right or true. And it doesn’t mean he is a man with strong willpower either. 
I shall propose then the following: i have a topic set up here: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=179064&p=2310837#p2310837
Sounded as though its out of Tab’s comfort zon but he’s willing to give it a go. I will judge as I am independent of everybody on here.
Second proposal - I’ll offer my hand a sa judge to any debate between any challengers - i do not have 100 post count but my brain is logically-wired lol (tested 99.8th percentile for logic & reasoning on Mensa test)
Third proposal - i’ll take on Tab in a challenge as I’m new to the fray (but only if people want)
I’m kinda booked at the moment. Pav and I will debate the death penalty’s expansion fairly soon, and I wanna take on Faust concerning something to do with justice sometime after that.
tab whats the death penalty expansion? im in the UK so US news travels slow lol
There is no news, unfortunately. It is simply my opinion that the death penalty should be expanded to include virtually every felony.
I also like your Debate topic. I think virtually anyone would be hard-pressed to adequately defend the notion that, “Innocent until proven guilty,” is what actually takes place. If you were truly, “Innocent until proven guilty,” then how could you ever possibly be arrested and spend time in jail before your trial?
oh ok wow - so if i comitted arson on an empty abandoned building due for demolition, do i deserve to die? hmm… 
In a word, yes.
Why would you do that?
Would younot consider that kids love abandoned buildings, and thus, could be in there playing whenever you decide to set that fire?
Don’t want to worry anyone, but the week’s pretty much up.
You don’t want that nasty Tab to win, now do you…?
So democracy is going to win by voting Shocker…
