[Preach2Teach]

Yo I never even agreed to this bullshit debate topic this shit was just dropped on my head lol I will ride with it tho I ain't gonna back down especially after reading that bullshit opening statement @mryounggun

So your argument is that Washington DC has nobody to represent the people of DC when it comes to spending tax budgets? since when did the people have any say in how America spends it's tax money? you will get another corrupt dick in a fancy suit talking that bullshit to make people think they have a voice or some kind of power, it's all for the most part an illusion.

I have just been reading some shit and I think I have my first point that will knock this shit out of the park! and that reason is the FEDS! the federal government! I don't even live in America and I am scared of them fuckers, they have a reputation for not playing fair and ruining countless lives with their underhanded and unfair ways (that's a whole other topic tho) the reason Washington DC was not granted statehood in the first place was to keep the dictating snakes at bay, the expression "never put all your eggs in one basket" springs to mind, The feds are not to be trusted and handing over more power to these people will not do America any good, these are the people that will promote alcohol all over the T.V for the kids to see, then they raid a weed dispensary in California even tho the STATE LAW says they are breaking no laws, Washington DC is the strongest defense America has against a potential corrupt dictatorship happening in America so why mess with that? now more than ever America needs it's defenses!! that is all for now,I just wrote this shit without having much knowledge of the whole topic @mryounggun imagine what I will do to you if I actually researched this shit?

I'm gonna be 100% transparent and admit that I expected more from you, @Preach2Teach. You were so aggressively confident in the other thread, that I thought 'Ok cool. This might might be a cool little challenge. Surely dude has some sort of debate skills since he's talking so reckless.'.

I was wrong once back in like 2007 and I here I am again being proved wrong.

To answer your poorly worded question about tax money, American's have ALWAYS had some sort of say in how their federal tax money was spent. Both Congress and Senate vote on federal budgets. Elections are held BY THE PEOPLE to elect their congressmen and Senators. DC has no voting members of congress or Senate. Therefore...the residents of DC have no one representing them when it comes time to decide how their tax dollars are spent.

^^^^^Do you see that? That is how you argue a point. First you verbalize that point and then you explain that point, how it relates to the topic and how that relationship strengthens your argument. You don't just say a bunch of words. With that being said, please explain to me and everyone else what the fuck the first bolded part even means. Please tell me, in plain English, what ACTUAL REASON you have provided to bolster your argument. You have made some vague reference to the federal government being the reason should not be admitted as a state. You then resorted to spouting random turns of phrase like 'all your eggs in one basket'. You then moved to fear-mongering based on selling liquor to children and finished by sprinkling some dictatorship on top. I would love nothing more than to tear apart your round 1 argument, but you haven't even made one. I'm sure you mother is proud.

But don't worry. I know you guys paid your hard-earned money and I'd hate for you to leave this debate feeling like those people at the Kanye show, so Iet me pick up this fuck boy's slack and give you an even more convincing argument. Not only do the people of D.C. have no real federal representation in the most important matters, they also are not even allowed to govern their OWN city in lots of instances. All matters voted on and approved by the local city government MUST ALSO BE APPROVED BY CONGRESS, as dictated by the Home Rule act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_home_rule). This is not true for any other city, state or local body except Washington D.C.. A city - a historically black city - where 68% of the residents are under age 55, have pretty much every politically-affected part of their daily lives voted on by a group of 535 members of congress: 80% of whom are white males with an average age of 57. So as a country, we have not only decided that these people don't deserve to have a voice at the federal level, but we have also decided that they cannot be trusted to govern themselves. This hardly seems like something that can exist simultaneously with the democracy for which this country has historically been known for.

^^^^Again, do you see that, @Preach2Teach? This is what a coherent argument looks like. I presented a point, then gave supporting information in the form of statistics and documentation related to the point, and then folded that point back into the central theme so that everyone could easily understand how THIS relates to THAT.

You're welcome.

And to the audience, I again ask the pivotal question: Do you REALLY want to listen to a man who, by his own admission, 'just wrote this shit without having much knowledge of the whole topic.'?

Ball is in your court, Clubber Lang.

Also @HundredEyes, watch your mouth, son. I can illustrate my point just as effectively in either 500 words or 50 words. And if my arguments are so full of holes...feel free to request that you and I be matched up at some point here in the near future, be it this debate or next.

Let's skip all the slick talk and just step in the ring.

You ain't really saying shit but a bunch of words trying to come off as being smarter than you really are, I see you stated that Washington is "a historically black city" trying to sway the black vote? you should really try actually getting into politics the sneaky fuck, OK I will play along with it, how exactly would joining the other 50 states help black people? do we need to take a look at the other 50 states and see if they are living any better? then you went on the say "You then moved to fear-mongering based on selling liquor to children and finished by sprinkling some dictatorship on top" firstly I was not fear mongering I was stating the facts (something your debate lacks) and lol at "sprinkling some dictatorship on top" you just try to roll over a very valid part of my whole point like it was nothing in the middle off all of them pointless words, notice how I don't type as much as you, that's because I like to go the quality over quantity rout, go and check on your trainer Micky he's not looking too good in the dressing room, I will see you in the ring Rocky!

ok i see the next debate setup....

im have to write this one down.

and @Preach2Teach cmon bruh....thats fukked up.

you gonna tell this man to go check on his trainer..thats fukked up.

you two creating a main event here

 

[mryounggun]

Seriously, what the fuck is this dog shit?^^^^^^^

Is this your 3rd round entry?

OK. For kicks and giggle, I'll keep my reply as short as yours. Even shorter.

I highlighted a portion of what you wrote and asked you to point out to me what actual REASONING you provided for DC not being a state. That question has still not been answered. I will give you another opportunity. Please explain to me and everyone listening your exact reasoning for feeling that DC should NOT be a state. Please do it as clearly as I have laid out my 2 arguments so far as to why DC SHOULD be a state. Thus far you have not done so. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have no gotdamn idea how the United States government works, do you? You admittedly have no knowledge on the subject and did not know that DC was not a state. I suspect your ignorance also extends to pretty much everything dealing with how the US government is structured.

So again, why should DC NOT become a state?

Tell me a reason why, then explain that reason and then relate that back to the actual theme of the debate. Don't just tell these people 'the FEDS...will promote alcohol to kids'.

If not, just do us all a favor and tag in @HundredEyes. I'm certain he would at least compete.

 

[CapitalB]

aiight yall..

im back in this thang..

been a loooong ass exhausting holiday weekend..

im ready to rep for the home team..

bout to start reading the posts now..

but before i get started let me say..

 

[CapitalB]

I have a confession to make, ladies and gentlemen: I’ve been forced to abandon my strategy before the debate even started. I had a bulletproof plan to win this debate using the ‘8-Mile’ approach: preemptively present and tear apart my opponents arguments against me before he can even make them. Then I discovered something starting…

…there actually are NO logical, fair arguments for not making Washington DC a state.

Imagine my disappointment.

So let’s just start with the most obvious, bulletproof argument for making DC a state. It’s an old argument, one that has existed for since before this great nation was founded. In fact, it’s a large part of WHY this country was founded. I’ll give you the short version:

While still only colonies under British rule, residents of the 13 colonies were subjected to taxes for EVERYTHING. Spices, tea, paper, everything. Now there is nothing inherently wrong with being taxed. But when you are taxed, you should receive some sort of compensation for that taxation. Traditionally, that compensation comes in the form of voting rights. If you pay money to the federal government, you should have some say on how that money is used. The British denied the colonists these voting rights. And so the slogan for the American Revolution was born:

NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

I say all that to say this: The residents of Washington DC are required - like every other citizen of the country - to pay federal taxes, but have no representation in Congress or the Senate. That means there is no one representing their interests when it comes time to approve the federal budget, ratify federal laws, etc. They are being subjected to taxation and being given no representation, in return. There are very few things that I can think of that are more unamerican than that.

Now my opponent, being the foreign con artist that he is - will certainly try to convince you otherwise using some fallacious, straw-man argument. But before he even bombards you with that diarrhea of the mouth that he calls an argument, consider this:

Do you really wanna hear ANY argument about D.C.'s statehood - for or against - made by a man who until 20 minutes ago didn't even know that D.C. wasn't a state?

This shit has caught me off guard I thought D.C was one of the states, I have some homework to do!

The floor is yours, Ivan Drago.
