• The astute reader would no doubt be enjoying this debate right now, laughing at the debaters incompetence. What tomfoolery am I talking about? I said in round 1 that this debate was a 4 round debate, at least, that's what I intended. Of course, many will have noted that this is…

• Hello, welcome to my debate. First, I'd like to give a brief history lesson on the term "Illuminati". This term was first used in the 18th century when the "Bavarian Illuminati" formed. Their main purpose was to promote women's rights and gender equality. With that being said,…

• I see what you mean, but the numbers stay relative to each other. And you seem to be under the impression that men and women train on the same level. Nonsense. The standards are very much apart. And no, the military does not just take the best, as you would assert, not with the…
