This is a full forfeit. While I do hate voting for Muslims because they are generally dishonest people. For example you will never see a Muslim vote against a Muslim debater no matter how poorly the muslim side argued their position.
So despite not liking muslims due to the fact they are dishonest and probably follow Satan as that was the angel Muhhammed was communicating with, I will not stoop to their level
I found that pro's arguments that america is terroristic was supported by his arguments about politically motivated violence both against native America and nations around the world and that con generally did not argue against the resolution and also provided a definition of terrorism that supported pro. https://youtu.be/r4RkZEBy7Jc
link is more spelled out response for that vote and expands on my reasoning

I did a video for this, not sure if I will post it, but if I do check the comments and it will be there in 24 hours. Essentially pro argued that school shootings would be less frequent and less severe with armed guards. Con argued it was impractical and the logic could be applied even to our own homes or businesses and pro counters that those business owners could already choose what level of risk they want to take. Con does not respond to this counter. Con also argues that a better approach would be gun control, but pro counters that gun control is useless because it can be maneuvered around. Con does not respond to this counter argument. I would like to see con stick to his guns a bit more, to actually expand on his arguments and use the counter rebuttals to strengthen his own position. I also thought con had the seeds to some great counter arguments in his final round, but it came too late. Ultimately pro's arguments stands and they win, but pro has some work to do also. Both debaters kept using a version of the argument "but you can get around that law", which is literally true of every law. Con also should have pointed out how disgusting pro's proposal of grown men patting down children was.
a 179 day voting period is bad conduct and absolutely insane. Now when I filter for debates to vote on, I have to see this bullshit pop up for the next 6 months, so thanks. However this bad conduct is offset by best korea being a dick about the grammar. Ultimately pro actually made arguments to support his position that AI is ruining debate and despite the arguments being weak, con dropped them all so pro wins by default

Per the Voting Policy: Repeated forfeitures waives the need to consider arguments (you still may, but by the choice of one side to miss at least 40% of the debate, the requirement ceases. And yes, this does apply to Choose Winner, which otherwise would not allow conduct to be the sole determinant).
An additional note. Neither side offered much argumentation so this would be difficult to judge without the forfeits

We have 2 concessions here. Coms concession came first and in round one, so that is the one that sticks

Forfeit by con plus I think I could get Jiggy to pro's raps
Pro listed off the benefits that could be derived from social media. The issue is that he didn't show that social media is good on average which is the BOP he has for he debate. Meanwhile con listed studies showing the effects on self esteem in a more broad sense and showed social media was in fact more harmful on average. An argument that was apparently so good it convinced both to never return to this social media site.
Forfeits plus con argues that if you can't afford a kid stop being a whole. An argument that pro never rebuts
Con was the only one who gave a case and pro forfeited every round and failed to uphold his share of the BOP
This was a forfeit by con
I gave my reasoning for my vote in the comments. Rm's music was slightly less shitty than mharmans overall but more gay.
I did let quality be a heavier factor than gayness and RM won 3 rounds to mharmans 2
