Are there any videos of Ben Shapiro participating in a debate? I don't mean him answering questions from college kids or having a back-and-forth on some talk show. I mean a formal debate where each speaker on each side has an allotted amount of time.

2019-11-08 15:15:20 UTC  

politicon I imagine

2019-11-08 15:15:36 UTC  

he used to do these pannels when he was in Radio back in the day

2019-11-08 15:17:16 UTC  

I actually went searching and didn't turn up anything, aside from the not-really-a-debate examples I gave.

2019-11-08 15:17:46 UTC  

He debated Chunk Wigger at Politicon.

2019-11-08 15:18:30 UTC  

You're right, I just found it. But I had to specifically look for Politicon to find it. Searching 'ben shapiro debate' turned up pretty much everything but debates.

2019-11-08 15:19:44 UTC  

Still, a single debate against one of the dumbest people in the field of political commentary doesn't qualify one as having the skills of a master debater.

2019-11-08 15:20:00 UTC  

Oh, yeah.

2019-11-08 15:20:16 UTC  

(((He))) is clearly a charlatan.

2019-11-08 15:23:52 UTC  

Which is my point. He has this reuptation for being a great rhetoritician, but almost all examples are from events he's the host of (his own show, talks on college campuses, etc.). The one time I can recall him getting a decent challenge on anything in an unfavorable environment, namely his interview with Andrew Neil on the BBC, he walked off.

Back where I'm from we called that a little bitch

2019-11-08 15:30:13 UTC  

yeah the bbc interview was kinda surprising

2019-11-08 15:30:28 UTC  

it's not like the questions were *that* difficult

2019-11-08 15:33:08 UTC  

Ben is too big to debate the peasants anymore.

2019-11-08 15:37:15 UTC

In the nose?

2019-11-08 15:38:39 UTC  

'You must be this tall to debate.' That would explain it.

2019-11-08 16:04:52 UTC  

Washington voted to reduce car tabs, so Seattle is suing its own voters

2019-11-08 17:28:00 UTC  

jesus christ, the blatant levels of propaganda in the NYT at this point are utterly insane

¿Cheating in acedemia? Not shocking.
¿Rioting over it? Deeply shocking... And disturbing.
@Lord Zedd
Of great irony to the incel movement/slur, a woman coined the term to describe her own experience...

*"Blonde is paranoid"*
If you're not at least a little paranoid, you're asleep... And soon to be dead or enslaved.
@vampirebox
... Seattle... Bitching about *'constitutionality'*... I wish I could make them watch themselves...
@Mystic axe
Jeff's right. There is a presumption of innocence in law.
Lynch mobs don't care. (Guess I gotta buy more another set of knuckles... I do hope he has a professional address...)

2019-11-08 17:36:46 UTC  

oh yeah, I know they've basically just been a propaganda outlet for quite a while, but you'd think they'd try to be a LITTLE less blatant in their bias

2019-11-08 17:37:40 UTC  

then again, it seems to at least create voter fatigue in people that are less interested in politics, even if it doesn't necessarily encourage people that vote against the things they're pushing to actively change their vote

2019-11-08 19:15:39 UTC  

So I have kind of joked about it before but really what is stoping us from making chimera's... We know that dinosaurs existed and how big they got... why dont we try and making somethign that big? i know we will have no way of controling it but hopefully having a part dog or bird in it so it can be at least trained not to kill on sight. cause if there is going to be an apocolopes. I'd ratther die by Theme park Monsters, or Reign of Fire than Zombies anyday...

2019-11-08 19:19:10 UTC  

You won't die by any of those
You'll die by murder, starvation, disease, or accidental death

2019-11-08 19:38:30 UTC  

First and foremost, @Mystic axe, because our understanding of genetics is nowhere near that level.
Second, presume we did exactly that...
¿Then what? ¿Do you know you can stop the monster you're unleashing? You're afraid of skinjobs, but ¿are you sure you're not *creating* them in the process?

2019-11-08 19:44:05 UTC  

@Beemann Have you ever read the STand?

2019-11-08 19:44:14 UTC  

I have not

2019-11-08 19:44:25 UTC  

Where King has a chapter to all the survivors who die after the apocalypse to just the random parts of life?

2019-11-08 19:44:41 UTC  

Your comment made me think of that.

2019-11-08 19:44:45 UTC  

Oh thats funny

2019-11-08 19:44:56 UTC  

Yeah thats basically how it would work out though

2019-11-08 19:45:12 UTC  

Oh whoops stepped on a nail. Enjoy your tetanus

2019-11-08 19:45:19 UTC  

It is a serious of vignettes about the survivors of the super plague.

2019-11-08 19:45:23 UTC  

One person actually does die that way
