Description
No religion, no races , no distinct ethnic groups, no reason to hate the "other' because we will all be the same a mixture of the distinct waring tribes that are now on the verge of destroying our world the only superior race is a mixed race the only true religion is no religion , we should probably allow the Italians to remain a distinct ethnic group , someone has to direct our movies and make pizza
Round 1
Forfeited
Humans are incredibly effective in finding specific reasons to hate other groups. If races or religions ceased to exist, the insecurity that fuels victimization would remain. Facts such as wealth, nationality or political affiliation would become predominant factors, leaving us no better and no worse off in general. In a world where your allegiance to professional football teams can lead you to be singled out for violence [1], the need to single out differences of any kind appears to be the prime factor in negativity - and thus even if one source of difference is removed, it will not create a meaningful impact.

I see. I don't believe they will be removed since they were posted before the ban. His account giving out free wins has really distorted the leaderboard.
I’m actually hoping they get deleted (I asked the question when I accepted - imo they’re kinda spam anyway), as I don’t think 12 debates in challenge period that will be auto forfeited as you say is a bit much for throwing out a lot of free wins. If they don’t, I took a handful couple of the shorter ones, so if they aren't removed; I’m at least not at a disadvantage (hence why I didn’t accept them all). I’ll only get bout 3 points per win; and I haven’t milked Bill for free points thus far - but I still mostly agree that these should be removed.
Accepting a debate that is an auto full forfeit because of a ban? That's poor conduct....
Time for argument 12 hours! Screw that.
