*** Dies from laughter!***

You, Coogar, are going for a poetic death duel.
Don't die on me so soon tiger. I'd hate to sweep your remains after I'm through with you.
Prepare yourself.
Venue: Literature Chat Room.
Time: 1300GMT.
Date: 22/10/2012

You better be as game as your username.

Hmmm... Sounds like some interesting fun!

Pharoh:
Maybe we can do justice to the first topic in the next debate but for now, will like to hear your suggestion about the topic . If you like the the first topic then suggest a definite topic that concerns one or all three of child soldiers, trafficking and domestic abuse. Child soldiers already got two votes but lets have more and you can also suggest from the new topics.

We really need not look 2 far since we already have 2 people (Efe n fire) rooting for the child soldiers. They both will be paired.

As per modification, I really don't see how anyone will support traficking or modern day slavery...
The cause and effect may be discussed though.

Let's stick with Child soldiers for the first debate and pick the second topic from the new list u made. Debaters will have to choose themselves. Have u sent a reminder to them?

[b]Debate Update!!!

Please we have decided on the two topics for the debate and i will make the template after this post so contestants should not quote me. You can just tell which debate you are going for, are you supporting or against the argument and what time is good for you if it is different from our proposed time.

This exercise should last until Monday and if we cannot make any headway at that date then the debate will be called off. If all contestants are able to make their choice known then we will announce the final participants and give the go ahead to start preparing for the debate. All other aspects of the debate will be communicated from then on as we have settled the issue of topics, debaters, date and time.

So please i beg every contestants, those who are in and those who have pulled out to forget the past and lets make one final effort to have the debate from this point onward. Please make your choice known after my next post and thanks a lot for your cooperation and participation.

[b]TOPIC 1 - Who is to blame when a child engages in sex ual activities without the right knowledge about harms associated with such;
is it the parents, media or teachers(government)?

RESOLUTION 1 - Parents should be blamed because they own these kids, it is their sole responsibility and the kids stay with them for most part of the day.

RESOLUTION 2 - The media, religious and educational institutions should be blamed because they are better equipped and more efficient in instilling such knowledge to these kids in face of modern source of influence like the internet, pornographic materials and smart phones.

TOPIC 2 - Child Soldiers, a good thing or not?. Should countries prosecute child soldiers for the crimes they committed during wartime? Should there be an international minimum age of criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity?

RESOLUTION 1 - It is a good thing and they only need proper drafted international guidelines to define the border towards it becoming child abuse and what constitutes crimes against humanity in the context of a child soldier.

RESOLUTION 2 - It is not morally a good thing as wars are made for adults only who can properly reason towards what is good and what is bad in the context of been responsible for their actions that can be termed criminal and crimes against humanity. In addition to that an international minimum age for war participation should be put into law and there should be stiff penalties for any parties involved in a war that goes against thesse laid down rules.

Please this a table that needs to be filled hopefully by Monday* and lets suggest topic, sides and time that is suitable to hold the debate.

Please this is the final template and we are open to slight modification but no wholesome changes anymore. Thanks and hope everyone can participate now and even those who already backed out please.

* - If no headway by the end of today, it will be called off.

Ok pharoh, I think u omitted something...for d second debate, we already have 2 debaters-Efe and Firestar. Why drag us back? Put their names already.

^^

Everyone has to come again and agree to the new topic by making their comments here then after that we can start adding, we are not really dragging anybody back as there are some little changes to the topics.

So i believe both of them can see it, give feedback about the topic, date and time then we can add their names after that.

Topic one; Both parties. Come on now, that is difficult to choose from. But if I have to choose, its the media. It puts pressure.

Topic 2: Nr two. Easy..there should not even be war.

JallowBah: Topic one; Both parties. Come on now, that is difficult to choose from. But if I have to choose, its the media. It puts pressure.

Topic 2: Nr two. Easy..there should not even be war.

Please this is not the time to be going in circles, if you are a contestant just choose which topic you want to debate, which side are you arguing for and what time is best for the selected date if it is different from the proposed time.

I choosed.

Any date is fine for me, but because of the time-difference I might be late into the discussion.

Topic 2.
I like a challenge, yeah, so I'm gonna support it like I mean it . Again, I know how to make the 'pressures' elude me, so anytime and date will be cool.

^^ Lol!

"Like you mean it...indeed-ie"

Topic 2: Child Soldiers...

Against.

End of.

Is that brief enough?

^^

Yes and thanks for it . . . . @Rocktation . . thanks and the template will be updated soon. @jellowbah please can u follow the style firestar used to make your choice known so that am very clear about it.

Efe c'mon, don't be chasing shadows. I just don't expect to see a lot of debaters on the Affirmative seats with you, is all....

i don't think this debate will ever kick-off.....can't people just agree on a topic and do justice to it? i tire for naija folks.....talks, talks and more talks.....

coogar: i don't think this debate will ever kick-off.....can't people just agree on a topic and don justice to it? i tire for naija folks.....talks, talks and more talks.....

I tire O, all the debaters have been taunting the organizers.
If only they had expressed their views/opinions from the very beginning, we ought to have gone pass this stage.
I don't think they know the kind of stress we have been going through.

It's killing the excitement, lots of people have backed out.
The motivation, ginger and spice is dying.

^^ Don't mind them jor

Efemena_xy: ^^ Don't mind them jor

tpia ke? she's 8.5 months pregnant for dayokanu...i have washed my hands off her adulterous ways so kindly drop the idea of using my live goat for thanksgiving!

coogar:

Yeah, but she says that's nothing more than a storm in a tea cup - and as forgiving guy, there's no need to get worked up about it.

Besides, I hear you're a verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry generous fellow, so helping to raise another man's kid as your own - is just you being charitable. I'm told that's nothing but a 'lil hill and not enough to deter your reconciliation with her...

Now be sure to drop off that live goat before Sunday...
