AK Gandy, I challenge you to a duel of words.

I am an independent that leans to the far right, I think you lean to the left.
For the purpose of this dual of words, I place certain rules that you can either accept or deny. You are free to offer your own rules of engagement that I can also accept or deny prior to our debate.

1. You offer 4 different political or social subjects that you would like to debate from a liberal point of view and I will debate from a conservative point of view.
2. Of those 4 options, I will choose which one we debate. If I opt to choose none, I will offer 4 and you can choose which to debate.
3. If we can't agree on a topic after number 2, no hard feelings and we move on.
4. If I choose one of your offerings, you get the opening statement, otherwise I get the opening statement.
5. Creative insults are allowed as it will just be the two of us, but the focus needs to be on the chosen topic.
6. Any other members that may chime in are not to be quoted by either of us.

Geez, I can't wait to see this train wreck.

Trying to measure are we?

Sorry, but it's late and I'm going to bed now.

Why don't you pick a subject......... and I'll see if it interests me?

.

I must admit that I'm intrigued.

I predict Pat will win the debate.

After years of judging debate, I've learned not to make predictions.

I was just being silly.

It will be fun to watch, assuming they find a platform and go through with it.

Me too, could prove very interesting.

Very interesting.

I like the idea of having specific people square off. It makes the debate more cohesive and easier to follow.
