The point of a debate is for one side to attack and the other side to defend, and then attack back. When one side is attacking, they're not trying to offend the other side, merely present the facts to make the other side's argument seem less convincing. Even Buddhist monks use this technique of...

Wouldn't you say though, that colleges should look at your strengths in the field you're going to be studying in? Why look at chemistry if you're never going to use it there. Here's the way it works in my school: Core English (e.g. American Literature) Core Social Studies (e.g...

The point of just calling him manservant was to drill in our heads that the butler has no name. In one of the books, I forget which one (I read the series a long time ago), Artemis found out the butler's real name and told him it. This shows the significance of that gesture. His duty is to...

Zenith, stop it. Your comment was very, very rude and immature. Life and death pertain to religion, obviously, so I think it's fine that the conversation drifted towards it. And besides, it's not like intelligent conversation ever hurt anyone.

To a degree. We are able to choose our electives, but we are forced to take certain core classes. The worst part about it is that colleges take your grades from the classes that don't even pertain to the area you want to study in. So since we're forced to take chemistry, if we get a B, then that...

I guess it just depends on what your view on a positive outcome would be. In terms of winning battles, many leaders have influenced their army "in the name of God" or another entity. This motivation helped the armies win their battles quite decisively. Also, whether there is a God or not, the...

Once again, that is completely situational. What line of work are you currently in?

I think that high school trains us too broadly for college. If some students are confident in what they will be majoring in for college, why should they have to take subjects non-related to it? As an example, why should they take Chemistry if they are majoring in business? Now, with GPA...

RE: Avatars and art. Read the rules. Alakazam, Generation 5 Pokémon Idea added. I normally don't post in here commending your work, Xous, but honestly, those two are just amazing. Keep up the good work!

With what?

Well, the Hapkido on Fight Quest was all the way in a different country, where Hapkido originated (I totally forgot where it was...), so that might be why they didn't use any protective gear. Really, a 10th degree black belt? In Tae Kwon Doe the black belt ranking system only goes up to 9th...

If people turn the debate into that, then we'll just delete their posts. No need to get hasty. ;)

I'll re-open it. While SixNumber's post was fairly stereotypical (especially since I'm not even close to emo), at least he kind of contributed, I guess. I should probably write more of these, heh. Thanks though, dmaster. *Unlocked*

I'm in contact with a large number of people who track the economic state of our country fairly heavily (billionaires), and most of them are in agreement that this year will still be hit pretty badly still. The reason why is because the banks were holding out on putting a large number of their...

In ten years, I will be out of high school and college. I should have also, by this time, integrated myself within my dad's business system and have gotten taught the ins and outs to commercial real estate, including everything there is to know about tax credits and the H.U.D. agencies...

This is probably completely irrelevant, but let's just say, for the sake of the thread, that I'll give you some martial art style advice if you answer this for me. :P How was Hapkido? I watched it on Fight Quest, and it looked pretty cool. From what I saw they didn't use protective gear or...

Use Jolly. It should give you extra insurance against DD users such as Gyarados and Salamence.

Welcome to the clan, and remember to stay active.

Yes, I don't think it would be that difficult to get information to talk about in the podcast.
