First of all, I want to thank the 6 debaters who were brave enough to go through with this despite all odds. I am proud of you all! You believed in this project and worked with us through thick and thin. Your patience and understanding is very commendable. Thank you!

My warmest gratitude goes to the judges(Jaybee,Jarus,Sisi_kill,Roland17 & Oam4J). You were all part of an impactful journey. Thanks!

To the audience, thank you for supporting us. Your criticism and support was remarkable!

A special thank you to Oam4j and Chrisbonoger, the idea was conceived on a Tuesday but you worked with me day and night to make this a reality on a Saturday & Sunday. Thank you!

Watch out for the female debate session. Its going to be bigger and better!

You forgot to add that it will eventually end with names calling and probably extend to whenever the parties involved will leave NL.

yep. the general opinion yesterday was that yours was a shitty debate. 5 judges got it wrong yesterday, 4 judges got it wrong today. you on the other hand, spot on! that's why yours is a position nobody farkin remembers. grow up you fvkin failed abortion. you came here believing were better than everybody else. yet two debates, and two judgements later, you've proven beyond doubt that you're ability to articulate your point is inversely proportional to the substance of the point in itself. now go eat a manliness you filthy $2 LovePeddler. idiat.

shymmex:

Bear in mind, that was just the introduction - the real debate was done today. They should have overlooked that because it wasn't like I uplifted the whole article and pasted it on NL... I had only 20mins to prepare my argument, and that was why I couldn't really be arsed to paraphrase what I lifted from the article.

I just wanted to present an argument to get through to the next round, and get into the real debate... grin

These guys are bad losers!!

Each of you held on to your strong point. I spotted some uniqueness and am sure that's one of the purpose of this debate. Bro, i might not be on terms with you later but in this debate, i like your content. Just as my analysis yesterday, i'm so impressed to know that you could stand a good debate with the right words.

shymmex: The judges can't even answer the question. sad

There's nothing called plagiarism in a debate..


This isn't a coursework nor dissertation, it's a debate for crying out loud..


shymmex:

I understand where you're coming from. Basically, I was going to use the article and a couple of other articles for my scholarship - but I was just too busy yesterday to do that, hence why I lifted part of the article (the first and second paragraph) - but the bigger chunk of my scholarship was written by me. I didn't even get marks for the parts I allegedly plagiarized, according to the judges' analysis.

And there's nothing called; plagiarism in a debate. Normal judges would've overlooked that - and focus on the contents of today's debate.


shymmex: Professor PhysicsQED

is there anything called 'plagiarism' in a debate?? grin


Oh yes! Plagiarism exists in a debate. Plagiarism is the use of another person's idea or a part of their work and pretend that it is your own. The term 'plagiarism' is not relative. It covers a wide range of discourse from coursework to dissertation to debate to ordinary discussion. Actually, everyone of us do make use of other people's idea inorder to improve on ours. Afteral no one is a repository of knowledge. This is intellectually acceptable if only you acknowledge the originator of the idea. It becomes plagiarism if you fails to do so. The current US vice-president, Joe Biden was disgraced out of 1988 Democratic presidential primaries after he plagiarized someone's work in his speech and debate. As recent as last year, an anti-Obama Republican politician was disgraced out of the senatorial primaries after he plagiarized Obama's 2004 speech at Democratic convention. A student was rusticated from my school after he plagiarized someone's work in his term paper. It is even a criminal offence to plagiarize in some European countries.
So, my friend, you owe us an apology for plagiarizing someone's work in a simple debate. How can we entrust our future in the hands of intellectually dishonest folks like you. You should cover your face in shame. If I were you, I will abandon my Shymmex handle for a new one. Your action is shameful.

Then this debate and its judges have lost all credibility....

I knew that goat is too dum.b to enter into something like this without stealing someone else's work.
I knew he would mess up somewhere but I was just waiting to see where. The guy is a big fat pretender living in the hood.

Plagiarism IF credit is duly given should not be a minus.

Excuse me, did you go to school? Who told you this rubbish? It's not like he quoted a sentence or paraphrased a sentence and referenced the author. He lifted whole sections of it and pretended it was his. If this was a university coursework, he will fail it because he cheated
