The Bullpen Thread for wannabe weekly debaters
    #11428683 - 11/10/09 07:13 PM (2 years, 3 months ago)

Throw down the gauntlet. State your topic and what side of the argument you intend to take. One line only.

As soon as someone agrees to the opposite side; you two will be our first weekly gladiators.

Example:

Poster 1: I believe in a soul.
Poster 2: I don't believe in a soul.

You're on.

Simple.

The debate thread will be a sticky and intruders will be warned and their posts deleted.

By popular request, feel free to suggest multiple topics for debate. But please, no general discussion. That's what

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11411637#11411637

is for. Let's keep this one clutter free.

Topic 1: Society
Premise: Drinking and driving should not be allowed.

Topic 2: Reality
Premise: Everyone is talking about the same thing but are giving it different names (reality, god, truth, love, etc...)

Topic 1: Homeopathy

Premise: Other than placebo, there is no direct effect from homeopathic 'medicines'.


Topic2: Astrology

Premise: Not only is astrology based upon nothing substantive, but it has no predictive power nor any degree of accuracy in assessing individuals.

    #11440290 - 11/12/09 11:20 AM (2 years, 3 months ago)

Topic 1: Belief

Premise: Any idea that is thought to be true without experiencing proof, first hand, is little more than an idea one believes to be true.

Topic 2: Space and Voids

Premise: The theory of places that exist within the universe that are completely void of matter is no more fact than assumption.

Wanna hear something depressing? One out of four Shroomerites wants to lock me in a government cage for using a substance they don't like.

Hard to believe, right? Read it for yourself:

All concepts are related to the phenomena they represent. All phenomena are causal and conditioned. There is no other reality for phenomena then co-dependent origination. Therefore, all concepts are about this co-dependent origination, be that God, Consciousness, Awareness, Self, etc...
At first sight they seem to be addressing different phenomena. Yet, on closer inspection, they point out the way phenomena really exist. This interdependences is the only reality there is.
