firestar: Could the date be shifted? I really want to participate in this and was really excited with the list you had although some could request to join.
November, is very uncertain I'm afraid.

pendo89: Dear cuddle,

I am not a suitable candidate for online debates due to availability.Got a crazy daily schedule,so best I can do is pop in and out fast.
Crazy conference again in November so.. kinda busy throughout the month.
Pardon my absence please.

Love.

chaircover: Hi Guys I only just saw this thread. What a great concept. Well done.

Thank you very much for the invite, but Im So Sorry, I am going to have to pass on this as I will have to research on child soldiers as this is not a topic I have much knowledge on, which isn't such a bad thing as no knowledge is wasted, but the problem is that I am really busy with other commitments at the moment.

If its not too late, Id love to see Busybody on your list.

Goodluck everyone

JallowBah: I`m in.

But, I have never been engaged in these "set-up-debate"-things. Do I have to be here, ready, at a certain time and date, or can I jump in when I feel like it, and have time, like I do on other topics?

Cuddlemii:

It's on the 3rd of November, 2012.

What's your availability like for the month of November?

It's the availability of all debaters that will determine the time the debate will commence.

The structure of the debate will be posted later, we are working it.

JallowBah:

As far as I know, I can at that time. I never do know if I suddenly get to work extra, though, so will keep my eyes open here

Tgirl4real: Are u a ghost? How can u be here and there at the same tym

Tgirl4real: Cudllemii, u just added my name jor. I viewed that thread b4 na.

3rd of Nov se? Is all settled?

firestar:
Eh?
Cuddles invited me too.

Tgirl4real: Okies...

I'm already blushing like an efiko



U don't get. I saw ur post on the chat thread, just as this one was landing

Rocktation: The thing now is, I don't think that I'll have a lot to say on this topic, as there wouldn't be a lot to even draw from research. It's going to be more like a discussion and there'd be almost nothing to refute. The child soldiering/abuse promised more controversies and challenge and I was willing to do reaaaal assignments. Buh now...tsk tsk. I just hope that I'm not falling your hand, Cuddles... . But I really don't feel this.

Efemena_xy: Hi Cuddlemii - Sorry I'm going to have to bail out on this one too.

Reason being I find this topic a bit flat (my opinion). The previous topic was a bit more controversial and did get my juices flowing. I was actually gunning for supporting the motion on Child Soldiers. Like Rocktation mentioned - that would have involved some serious research. This new topic just doesn't cut it for me, nor do I find it challenging or motivating.

Nevertheless, I sure the other participants here would do better justice to this new topic.

All The Best!

Tgirl4real: I kinda understand what Efe and Rocktation is saying. The topic is better as a discussion. However, Pharoah has made a good suggestion.

Caracta: oooh Cuddles...lol. I'm still looking out for the updates. Methinks the topic can be modified too, into a more debatable topic. Though i love the 'blame' part. Or perhaps you could openly suggest for topics if you wouldn't be breaking the rules. Whichever way, i'm sure you guys will come up with brilliant and creative ideas. #winks#
