I think people figure we three like to pick a fight
This reminds me of school, we sometimed did exercises like this in the Swedish classes just to learn how to present valid arguments, examine what made an argument convincing and not, etc. That's when I first realised that facts and logics are among the least effective arguments there is

What, sweet, gentle CE, picking fights? Never!
I'll be up for this, apparently seeing both sides of most issues is one of my better points. I remain unconvinced of this, myself. I have
lots of good points...

I doubt it, but he'd have fun finding out for a while...

Of course it could - it would be a so much more better place...and remember, we could live on each side of the earth - which pretty much means one would be in NZ or Oz
Of course I am up for an argue, providing I am allowed to argue something I don't think in reality. That is the most fun - arguing for something you don't care the slightest about, or something you totally disagree with.

That's the general idea

Great idea Sleepy...I'd love to join in
. I think you ought to take charge though (er.) Maybe it should be a kind of gladiatorial affair...Contestants step into the Pit to argue over an issue decided by the scheming master of ceremonies, and then maybe if we get enough people we can have a little knock-out tournament (Yes I have just watched the whole Eric-Cantona-in-a-ship advert on
http://www.nike.com )....

So we have three people if i am not mistaken:
Ode
CE
Frogus
Did i miss anyone? This could become a team affair if enough people are interested.

Nah, join up with me @HLD. It'll be worth it, trust me.
Besides, that'll even out the ages a bit.

Are you saying I'm old? Or even worse, are you saying that C Elegans is old? Who do you think we are? fable?

@HLD-Frogus is 14 or 15, I'm 18, both you and CE are in that murky stage of life known as 'adulthood'.

Heh, if you
really want to even out the odds, I think I should be on CE and HLD's team

No problem Frogus, I want to be on your team.

Well, if the youngsters think we are old farts, then we should perhaps stick together against them - what about you, me and Fable teaming up?
Murky stage? Hmpf!
Seriously though, should we have teams, or should we take on different topics two and two?
We also need debate topics, but perhaps Sleepy will come up with them?

@CE-Oh, quit complaining, venerable one.
I'm just for keeping the teams relatively evenly matched.
