Within 24 hours I will be posting four different choices to be debated. The first two people to respond will have a chance to debate their choice. The opening round will be three rounds. By that I mean that each person will have a chance to post three times before the debate is closed. After that a poll will be opened to determine the winner. The four winners will face off against each other over two more topics, with the final two coming after that.

 

The first four topics come from the areas of public policy, food and drink, and travel and entertainment. I avoided any topics that would be divided by political ideology. Or any division I could instantly think of, so it should be entertaining.

 

I am leaving some of this to chance, please only respond to one of the questions. I am not going to set a min or max length of the posts, just remember if they become too long people will stop reading. Remember I am using a poll to determine wins and loses, that is about the messiest way possible, but you are being judged by your peers.

 

As a preview, the topics I will be using for the opening round

 

Dollar bill v. dollar coin

Thin crust v. deep dish

Beer v. coffee

New Years Eve in Times Square v. romantic mountain cabin

 

Remember it will be first come first served in each debate. Once someone picks a side you will have to take the other choice. Since some people here will debate anything, I doubt we will have a problem finding participants. My thoughts are to toughen up the topic for the second and final rounds.

 

Comments? Thoughts? Ideas?

I remember doing this in here years ago, and really enjoyed it.

 

However, that was on political topics. Any chance we can go with that? Honestly, a debate over pizza just doesn't involve much debate skills, it is entirely about taste.

Yeah, my taste in pizza is the same as my taste in boobs: thick and firm >> thin and floppy

Will their be prizes?

Rounds 2 and 3 will have a political theme. I will come up with a replacement for the pizza because deep dish would be too easy over thin crust

California Style vs. New York style.
