Hanover

The debate is over and the only ongoing discussion appears to be with a now banned member, so I am closing this thread.

Closed due to inactivity.

You'd have a similar right to take the same offense if a woman told you she knows how you feel just because she too is a woman. That you limit your of...

The opposition is because it normalizes what he believes to be deviant behavior. Women are naturally occurring, whereas trans people are modified frea...

Do you really think a biologically born female and a trans female lack recognition of their historical and current differences and that hey live in a ...

If a trans person is happy with the results, it isn't harm. Again, you've not shown why sexual issues should be treated differently than other forms o...

This comment is incoherent. You claim there is no distinction, but then you distinguish one as being natural and the other artificial, while my positi...

Breast reduction and enhancement surgeries occur in contexts other than in transsexual situations. Do you object to those? Trans people aren't necessa...

If your body "wants" high levels of blood sugar, should you modify it with insulin injections only to watch it revert to its natural diabetic state as...

Scientifically, there is a difference between a male who has had surgery to appear female and who is taking female hormones versus one who has not. Wh...

None of us are interested in fishing out whatever genius you're withholding, now or ever. It's kinder I tell you rather than passively ignore you, whi...

Yeah, not interested anymore.

I asked what you proposed, not for an exploration of satisfaction levels.

I put the start of the war before then. Maybe at the time of the destruction of the Tower of Babel.

As in what?

Clicked on the link, but didn't see your comments. What page of the thread are you referencing?

I know, and I'd step back from that because we don't prove things by pure logic alone in many instances (ala Descartes) without reliance upon some emp...

I'd reject the notion that God isn't well defined under the various traditions, even if there remain some unknowns. I also think there are substantial...

180 asked to leave it open a bit longer to see if 3017 has more to say, so with that I'll leave it open a bit longer.

I guess in competitive debates like in high school, they actually judge them and declare winners. In other debates, like presidential ones, each side ...

It means a tie, like if the final score is 1 to 1.

This sounds naive. The justification for your boycott is rightly a moral one, not a practical one. Not a single Chinese business will suffer from your...

To point a few things out: When the debate was set up, specific parameters were agreed upon, and I did indicate the moderator's role would be the same...

The question posed by the debate was whether 3017 had a sustainable position. Did I not see to it that that question was answered?

Not sure what the exact status of this debate is here, but unless a substantive post is made here soon, I'll close this one down.

Another factoid. If you come to the US (and please don't), you should buy University of Kentucky hats and shirts because they say UK on them, which wh...

I've been summoned! I declare neither a forfeit nor a TKO, but you may each argue such has occurred. I leave to you guys when and how to conclude and ...

The world is perfect.

In the event there is a conflict, I will have to decide whether to resign as President or as moderator. It will be a difficult decision. My only other...

Assuming I came to the debate not knowing whether to vote for Atheism or Theism and today is election day, who do I vote for based upon the respective...

I actually disagree. 180's opening shouldn't have been diverted by a weak opening by 3017, but should have just made out his case as if he had gone fi...

It's always good to have something to look forward to even if we're not around long enough to actually fulfill those goals.

To the actual question of whether it will be moderated, the answer is that it will be moderated to the same extent all threads are moderated. I don't ...

Excellent! Then they mean it.

My emunah is infinite.

You've got to be given special permission to post in that thread and I don't have the authority level to grant you that permission, so I'm getting som...

I'm trying to set it up now. We'll test my IT skills. Hang on.

Not sure exactly what they are, but I've seen women use them to extract free labor from men. Must be some kind of mesmerizer.

The lingerie section was early porn.

I have a worse story. My dentist put me to sleep and I woke up pregnant. True story. I was actually referred to a specialist, so I think he did it rig...

Your use of the term "cheers" signifies you might be British. If that is the case, I seriously doubt what you say. It is well documented that there is...
