Think you're really good? Try this
Anybody up? I'll give a topic and assign sides to the participants. NO Quoting other sources except to mention a source. This format - with time limits for replies - will be Person to Person; YOUR wit and knowledge and skill vs another's. Nobody gets to argue the side they believe in and have their 'sources' bookmarked.
That's debate guys.
First topic - who were the "bad guys" in the Star Wars movies?
Takers?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

It all sounded good until the first debate subject was listed. I loved the movies but not enough to debate them! What about "Saw"? 7 horror flicks, most successful in it's genre believe it or not, even ahead of Friday the 13th. I can debate those!

I was as well, but only to an extent... And this article is prior to the 7th film in the series:
http://www.reuters.com/article/2010/...15375420100723(Reuters) - The "Saw" horror movie franchise is getting a place in the Guiness World Records as the "Most Successful Horror Movie Series," one of the film's producers, Mark Burg, said on Thursday.
"I'm still in shock," Burg told Reuters. "The fact that we beat out (such horror franchises as) 'Friday the 13th,' 'Nightmare on Elm Street,' 'Halloween' and 'Texas Chain Saw Massacre' is a testament to our cast, crew and our partners at Lionsgate."
The franchise consists of six movies, each one having come out consecutively every Halloween since 2004. The seventh, and final, installment is due out Oct. 29th and will be featured in 3D.
Collectively, the "Saw" films have made over $73O million at the worldwide box-office and sold more than thirty million DVDs, according to distributors Lionsgate.

I honestly would have voted for Nightmare on Elm Street.
But then again, horror is my least favorite genre so........
Educate man, Liberate man
It's your thread.
I'd be more than happy to share in your debate. But. Since I never was a Star Wars fan. I'd rather the topic be more up-to-date, like The U.S. Constitution.
Not that I claim to be any authority on that topic. But at least. We could all share in the learning experience, without trying to destroy one-another for not being RIGHT all the time.

dmp said you don't get to pick your side. He gets to assign it to you.
In any case you're wrong. It was the damn Ewoks!
Your head exploded
oh, well I'm still in.
And the Ewoks weren't in Star Wars. they were in Return of the Jedi; and yes, the sucked.

True, but I think it was understood that the choices were Empire , Republic. Unless someone else wants to argue that the tauntaun was the bad guy .
