I'm not sure why everyone thinks I'm a woman? Even NYAA was calling me a "she" during the debate

Just to remind you that I never made a distinction.

Fortunately we do not need to abide to your request but the longer you want to keep at this single instance is another post wasted at strengthening your post. But I do like being a broken record player: UDHR strengthens our rights as much as yours - Human rights aren't selective to your cause. The points are well and listed GetMisted, I suggest you GetStarted.

what makes them human rights? Because you say they are?

I have the basic human right to kill whomever I please Why? Because I said I do, even though I have no doctrine to support it. Cheeky

The US Constitution Bill of Rights on Freedom of Thought (speech) and to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Document for the right to be free from slavery: The Emancipation Proclamation. The right to an education is under the 14th amendment of the US Constitution. The right to a free will is our greatest strength and potential: the freedom of choice. But if you want a document for that as well: The Ayn Rand Institute and her book "Atlas Shrugged".

So you want to use the US Bill of rights as the foundation of your human rights?

For the 3 rights that I covered under the US Constitution: sure, why not?

She/he is just trying to get you tangled in semantics. You don't need that as a basis for anything according to the parameters of the debate. And actually, you answered the request she posed.

He/She is likely to quote this and co

Freedom from discrimination is fundamental right so why are we debating the beluga's gender? 🙂)

I kid, I kid...my Aries Moon has no patience for the verdict so I am engaging you fine folks.

Congratulations are in order to The Airheads for claiming their first team win. They most successfully argued in favor of the essentiality of their rights and against the Dryer Sheets'. Thanks are in order for everyone, though. It's so rare to see a civil discussion on DXP in which no insults are hurled and the trolling kept to such a bare minimum.

Dryer Sheets, it's challenge time for you. The winner of the challenge will receive double the debate points and immunity from the vote that will follow. Let's see a show of hands for who's around.

The challenge is not team based. It is every (wo)man for him/her self. Whomever posts the correct answer first in its entirety will win. Any partial answers and partially correct/incorrect posts will be ignored. Where's the rest of your team? You are all equally at risk, so you should all be present.

No examples of challenges will be given, kitty cat. Each subsequent challenge will be more difficult than the last. Last year, the difficulty level went exponential toward the end of the game.

Wait...can we just make a sacrifice? No offense intended if I missed her, but I think one of our team members never showed up to anything. LilTree?

Sacrifices and offerings of burnt meat and unspoiled virgins may be left in the care of the Temple priests. However, you should know they will have no bearing on the outcome of the game.

The challenge has a much more fluid start time than the debates, as the challenges are open ended. They run until won.

You're also missing APC and that flowering tree you were planning to sacrifice. Cut-throat much?

They didn't even claim which right was most important. Wasn't that the point of debate?

Actually, no.

The winning team will be determined based on how well its members argue in favor of their rights, defend them against attack, support them logically and/or with empirical evidence, and weaken the opposing team??s chosen rights.

Scruffy you don't get it.

Tonight one of us wins immunity. Tomorrow we vote someone out. That's how I understood it.

The winner of the challenge wins immunity from the vote. Once the immune team member is known, it will be time for the Dryer Sheets to PM their votes to me for who they want to eliminate from your team and the game.

I saw no defense against my right to innocence

After the game has concluded, I will be happy to go back through the debates and point out the deciding factors in each if you would like. Your team lost because it did not best argue in favor of your rights, defend them against attack, support them logically and/or with empirical evidence, and(or) weaken the opposing team's chosen rights.

Yes, I want to see how the right of education is above the right of life in importance. How they defended my counter arguments because they didn't. SW did defend a few but for the rest..no.

I really think I won at least that for my team.

This is an understatement 😛

😄

Should I make them that hard again?

Oh no! You could definitely make them easier as far as I'm concerned ^.^

But your the judge do as you see fit.

The rules stated nothing about formatting and thus it is irrelevant. I thought you received an excellent education in Romania?

Yes, I always hated mirrors. I find this challenge flawed because vampires cannot reflect in them..so yeah..if we're talking about Romania.
