Heldengeist said: I'd disqualify kuma. Once I had an argument with @Manaban (whom I grown to respect while still disagree), and while unaddressed he just started to spout insults, because he disaggreed me and said he argued enough about the topic with other people who were on the same side as I. What was that even about again? :P Like, the one with TLR's approach to ecchi versus Testament's approach to ecchi and such? I only remember having that one argument with you and I felt like it was rather cordial, or at least that's how I've remembered it this whole time ._. Like, *infinitely* better than most "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww is otaku-pandering virgin neckbeard basement dweller stuff how could you defend this" trite that most people on AD spit out ._. ---- Also need to show some more AD peeps some love in this thread >_> Feels mostly occupied by CE'rs. @Pullman and @jal90 are probably the two I hold with the highest regard on AD that I see regularly. That's really the only two I can think of that I see regularly and don't have some big-time grievances with, albeit there was a while at the beginning of the year where I wasn't exactly fond of jal, albeit that more or less subsided after a while. Also, have to mention the absolute fucking tank that is @Deknijff - guy can just sit there and hold people on an argument to be able to make a thread pass 1,000 posts with almost exclusively just two of them. He can sit in the front and keep things going like nobody else, and it certainly made it easier for me to provide some kind of support with much more cordial wall of text, the way of approaching others I still into back when we worked together on stuff like that :P I feel like he's a lot smarter than some would give credit for. |

| I nominate xShinigami because he knows how to defend his waifu and Psjduck, his threads always gives me headaches. Pullman is cool. ProudAsian is the best troll debater. But I secretly hunt for their position from the shadows. |

| @Deathko I scrolled your profile to pick on something, it was literaly just this one thing. I don't like Rei, she's a clone of Shinji's evil mother plus a god. Shinji was attracted to her because he has mommy issues, he experienced a lot more with Asuka (insert perverted look). |
|
Deathko said: @Catalano Would it be better for shinji to 1/act on his mommy issues with Rei or 2/tumble down the self-hating road with Asuka? Tumble down with Asuka, they love eachother but they're afraid to connect because of the heagehog dilemma. Why would Asuka sleep wit Shinji? Why would Shinji ask Asuka's help? |

Because they're 14 and they got a terrible itch to calm down there? I dunno, I never interpreted any of these characters interactions as love. They're all on a selfish quest to fill the void in their hearts, adults and teenagers. |
|
| @Deathko Shinji had his chances wit Misato and Asuka with half of Tokyo 3. It's not just an itch down there. In the end, I think humans value love and longing more than sex. If Eva were longer and establish a relationship between them and after a few episodes they would break up because they weren't suited for eachother, I wouldn't mind. But I work with what we have. And why are you awake at this hour? It's like 6 in the morning in France. |
|
| @Catalano My sleep schedule is all kinds of fucked up after searching for a job these last monthes. It's an endless cycle of stressing interviews, dumb administrative shit and sending mails. I think I slept 8 hours over the last 48 hours, and I'm not feeling tired. The good news is that it could end soon. |

Anushura said: then I should definite;y get the title ofMirai said: What does the winner get? Complete control over the website? Why don't we ask the mods 😝 Reward could be the honorary title of MAL's Debate King. We should also have monthly ratings for users based on so and so criteria. That could bring life to the fora. Titles like Debate queen, Troll prince, Humorous wanderer etc unfairly banned the most times |
| If such an illustrious title like "Debate King" is at stake, I feel compelled to make a case for myself. South Africa condemns Trump's 'polarizing' white farmers tweet Actor Morgan Freeman accused of inappropriate behavior and harassment Rodrigo Duterte blasted for saying rapes due to city having 'many beautiful women' Jack Phillips (baker in gay wedding cake dispute) in trouble again over transgender cake Houston police chief: Vote out politicians only "offering prayers" after shootings Donald Trump cannot block anyone on Twitter, court rules Ayyyye net neutrality is dead As for female debaters, @Comic_Sans has my utmost respect. I don't think she engages a lot but when she does she's got well thought out points that are hard or impossible to contradict. As for other male debaters, I think @Grey-Zone is pretty great for talking about things most people tend to talk out of their asses about, that he for some reason knows about even well beyond my own self. Though he doesn't venture out of his comfort zone too much, I feel. |

Your illiteracy does get in the way of you understanding different opinions at times im not from the boomer generation though, im part of the early millennials and i do not know who friends you are talking about since im not that social enough for that but i do talk to people as much as i can to people that talk to me i do read different opinions but im against them if they are not for the greater good or the lesser evil Yarub said: Trance- used to have pretty good topics that made you think about things in new POVs. Even the troll posts were quality. Railey2 does some pretty controversial threads, he also seems to have alot of issues with the animal kingdom in general, but he also does provide good content. Trance and Railey2 seems to be the same person lol |
degApr 4, 2019 10:23 PM

| @hazarddex welp im not part of that imo but if we include inactive users i say Pirating_Ninja and xEmptiness are the best debaters i remember seeing here on MAL |
| Debates? I didnt even know that debates take place here at MAL |

| Thread sounds like a circle jerk for your friends. I haven't seen any Ben Shapiro level of debating skills on these forums. People just google articles and think they know what they're talking about. |
SpamuraiSensei said: Ben Shapiro thinks he knows what he's talking about while he's talking down clueless college students with a mic in hand and a choir of fanboys in the room, but his points are quite vacuous for anyone with a third rate knowledge of philosophy. For example, his views on abortion fail to contend with the intricacies of the definition of biological life, since he believes in a Christian account of conception. His views on gender amounts to semantic word games -- he doesn't want to argue about the legitimacy of the concept of social gender, and he avoids it by simply using another definition, in effect dodging the question. His views on the beginning of the universe using Kalam's cosmological argument fails at arriving at a personal God, reveals his lack of understanding of space-time in physics (i.e. time is dependent on space), and is a special pleading fallacy (i.e. everything has a beginning except God).Ben Shapiro In a forum debate where people have time to think about exposing bullshit word play games, Ben Shapiro doesn't stand a chance. |

deg said: Yes, he might have been one of the best, but too smart for his own good. His specialty was finding ways to debate around facts and conventions, playing devil's advocate until he started believing in the devil. That way he could be a science denier using science as evidence, as he once proclaimed that because, in his view, "most" psychological and social studies are fabricated, then all scientific findings has the potential to be fabricated. This, of course, led him down the spiritual journey in vein of Deepak Chopra. When someone has such high IQ and is a member of the wealthy business class elite, I guess he feels like the rules don't apply to him anymore. xEmptiness There was another guy who tried to debate me all the time -- what's his name? -- but he had a singular autistic focus. It should be obvious to anyone when I post short one-liners that I'm shitposting or making fun, but this guy would try to debate my shitposts and bring them up in actual debates as if I had contradicted myself. I knew him, he was not the type to troll. But it was such an annoying denseness and lack of social sense that I started trolling him, and we ended up thinking quite poorly of each other. But if it weren't for this quirk, I would say he's the best debater. His points, when we were actually talking about something, were more cogent than xEmptiness. |

deg said: I don't think I have high IQ and never claimed so. xEmptiness was always bragging about his IQ.

I guess that would be a positive point. I'm not sure if he would be a great teacher though, I don't think he likes people in general. I'm not talking shit though.

I don't even care. You know that feeling when you should know something but it's just on the tip of the tongue? I think there were many other honorable mentions in the past that beat most of the people mentioned in this thread, like Daconator, InfiniteRyvius, or (and I hesitate to say) Immahnoob... Which just goes to show, the honor of "the best debater" is as useless as how many people remember you in the forums (i.e. how much time you spend talking shit when everyone else is moving on). I'll pass on that title. You or traed can have it. |

Yeah, recency bias. If we go back far enough, there's Tavor, BloodCalibur, and who else. I feel kind of disgusted that I even still know these names that don't mean shit in the scheme of things. I forgot who the Code Geass avatar is, but it feels vaguely reminiscent. Probably one of Trance-'s aliases or some other troll. |

| I used to debate on MAL when I was around 15 but now I don't have much interest. I could go into detail why but I'd rather not. I don't remember that person's username but they were a university student of some reputed University and from what I recall they had an avatar with some girl that looked kind of like a vampire with very light skin, purple clothes and holding an umbrella I think. He/She only posted for a while before leaving MAL I believe. However in that short time that person impressed me their knowledge. One of the few MAL users that I really admired for their intelligence. deg said: xEmptiness I can't remember if this is the username of the person I was talking about but this username seems familiar to me. I guess I'd give an honorable mention to @lupadim for really getting into long heated debates even though he was trolling many times. A mention for @Trance (who was also my good friend on MAL) and @katsucats Btw if anyone knows Trance's current account pm me. |
