Y'all think an online forum is a debate?

Jimmy knows that one mass shoring is too many and no where near being a sarcastic response. It’s a fact.

5 is TOO MANY, wouldn't you agree? Are not any amount of school/church shootings too many? What is the context around the question in which "too many" is an inappropriate answer? I have not looked into the context. Without specific context, which I haven’t researched, it is an intelligent point. Gang-related mass shootings are far more frequent than school or church shootings. It is more widespread and urgent issue than school or church shootings. People keep talking about banning AKs while ignoring the need to address (stolen) hand guns used to commit thousands of murders, including a much higher total of kids.

USA looking even healthier if Jax fills into a 65KG. Only worrisome weights should be 70 and 125. Assuming Duke moves up to battle Carr and Mesenbrink. Not sure Ridge scores enough to be comfortable rep and Bassett/Valencia probably too small. Kasak doesn’t seem too interested in freestyle. Taylor intriguing prospect but will have to make another jump and keep his weight down for a long time. Dreshaun Ross probably going to have to be the post-Gable savior. Might take 2 or 3 years though and he has a shoulder history.

Unlawfuls. Are. Cherry. Pickers. must be why you think we need them here.

Smooth brain little Jimmy just begging for attention. You should be on your way to school to learn what 2+2 is.

You'd better hurry up so you don't miss the short bus little Jimmy.

His answer was perfect because one is too many. Anyone with a clue knows that. He should have said trans mass shooters are the fastest growing group of mass shooters.

True. I wrongly took it to mean pre-quarters.

He can’t stand successful people. It eats him up.

Biabani, the Iranian background Canadian, gets a rare semis appearance for them at 65kg. Bilichuk takes out Naim and Guseinov 9-8 and 14-11 in wild ones while Biabani faces much easier comp the first two rounds. He capitalizes by taking out the most likely exhausted Bilichuk, 5-2, in the quarters. McKenna teched him at Pan-Ams.

1,1,2,2,3,2,1,3. If I googled correctly those are our men’s freestyle finishes at worlds. In the world. If that’s not dominant what is. Folkstyle is a better product. It is a more popular product in the us. More kids prefer doing it over freestyle. American fans as A whole don’t care about freestyle success on the world stage. You won’t like that but it’s a fact Freestyle is fine. They are dominant. They have their own season. They have athletes that only wanted to do that. And in fact did that. im not asking for the moon here. Just leave folkstyle alone and stop trying to make it freestyle.

Aren't you late for school little Jimmy?

He was asked if he knew how many mass shooters in this country over the past ten years were transgender. His response? "Too many." The answer was 5, which he was immediately informed. It's not a serious answer and shows his lack of seriousness in debating. It was an answer he gave that was grounded in any kind of facts. It was designed to be a purposefully hyperbolic or theatrical answer rather than a serious one. Then he was asked if he knew how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last ten years. His response? "Counting or not counting gang violence?" It's deflecting from a serious question, and even though he acknowledged the question, but he adds a qualifier that undermines giving a straightforward answer. It's a disingenuous way of answering what should be a relatively simple answer. He isn't seriously engaging, it sounds more like a rhetorical performance to create a sound byte that sounds good.

His scores were pre-65 KG quarters, as per what he said.

Plenty of us don’t need to.

Amouzad will beat Biabani. Biabani was a good prospect back in the day, though. He won junior worlds in 2016 but never managed to translate it to the senior level. I think Kiyooka can be the first to go back to back at this weight, though.

This is not really a debate example per se but it cherry picks words without giving context and then criticizes it. It demonstrates a lack of critical thinking and is a symptom of straw manning.

Charlie Kirk’s last words were interpreted as a sarcastic response in order to deflect from a serious question. So it kinda of tells you how one side sees things only from their own perspective without honoring what his true intent of the comment was.

Ok, his scores weren't pre-quarters. They were partway through quarters. Now they're post-quarters. I have the same points as him now.

... will Jimmy follow?

Iran could lose the semi-finals at 65 and 97 and Japan could win both. They're within striking distance without them. Especially if Iran has a meltdown like they did at U17s (which will NOT happen).

I don't know why I thought about this, maybe because of such a contrast in methodology but I'm curious what everyone thinks would have happened if this has occurred instead of how things played out. Keep in mind this isn't intended to be disrespectful, minimize any tragedy, or anything like that. In January of 1996, John DuPont while hunting on his property guns down a police officer who he believes is plotting against him. The police end up arresting him and he goes to jail for murder. Due to his incarceration and unsure future, Dave Schultz takes a lead role at Foxcatcher as the acting leader of the program. DuPont's estate and lawyers realize DuPont isn't getting out of prison and take steps to slowly phase out the wrestling program. Schultz sees the writing on the wall and with the influence/help of guys like Royce Alger, and the Brands brothers, relocates to Iowa City as the coach of the Hawkeye Wrestling Club, partially out of respect for Gable. Schultz loses a thriller to Kenny Monday in the Olympic trials and turns his full attention to coaching. Gable makes Dave a full time assistant coach after the Olympics, and then is able to successfully lobby for Schultz to succeed him as head coach, bypassing Zalesky. Schultz manages to keep everyone around, except Zalesky who leaves to be an assistant coach elsewhere. How would this have changed not just college wrestling, but USA Wrestling and what trajectories would have been different? Would Iowa have been able to maintain their status for a longer period of time? Would Schultz have dramatically changed the Iowa program to be more progressive thinking in regards to changing their tactics? Let's hear it.

There is still a tournament upstairs with some compelling stories. Just saying...

I’m glad you Ike the facts. Thanks for agreeing Mr Snow Plow Driver from Mn!!!!!!! How’s the night shift treating you??? Are you participating in the discussion because it sure looks like it?
