I'd agree with this as well as it's better than the status quo. Unfortunately, I don't think that Republicans would go for it, and I think a lot of Democratic politicians aren't as principled as they make themselves out to be.
I thought your vote was good, although I thought most of them were actually. I probably disagree with Novice in that respect. If you consider the debate a draw, I think it's unlikely you had a significant bias.
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization gave power back to Congress. You should have used Roe v. Wade as an example instead, otherwise you're undermining your own point.
I'm surprised whiteflame got as far as he did without arguing based on principle. I feel like the arguments he made could be applied to any law (which he'll likely do to me in our upcoming debate), but this did seem to be the best strategy against Bones. I doubt that anyone who thought abortion was murder would really think the government should allow it, but in the end it's all about rhetoric. I'm still undecided, but I may vote on this later.
One round left. I did find Bones' argument that every law has exceptions convincing enough to get the job done; if he loses I doubt it will be on that point. Of course it's going to depend on how whiteflame responds, but this could definitely go either way.
Does BoP require 100% certainty or does it just mean the onus is on me to show that China is probably detaining innocent people? "Proof" in a debate isn't the same as in court. You're arguing the negative either way. "That China isn't detaining innocent Uyghur Muslims" is also an assertion. Obviously, the accuser can't make accusations without evidence, but I'd usually consider it a win if Pro showed there was a > 50% chance that they are correct. BoP just means they have to demonstrate that.
If I had a nickel for every time whiteflame did an anime music video battle, I would have three nickels. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened three times.
Honestly though, I just saw two of them and assumed you did it a lot. That's what I get for making assumptions.
It looks like Bones has one more chance to defend his definition of "On Balance." If he loses on a technicality like that, it will mean whiteflame is a rotten scoundrel, but I've been a rotten scoundrel before too. That said, Bones has never lost a debate before and we'll see if he can talk his way out of this one.
Sorry, I didn't even consider that it could be an issue. You can maybe use a VPN if you're willing to take that risk. To my knowledge, China isn't super strict about VPNs, but I can't tell you firsthand.
It's not fun to win that way.
I'll do it if you unblock me.
Done, plz accept

Sounds good
Bump, all votes are appreciated!
Yep. I think FLWR's vote probably should have been removed, even though I voted the same as them.
Tbf I may have made the voting period too long
Bump
I didn't know how (or if) I would vote, but I did try to be fair to both sides and I do hope there's nothing I missed.
All votes are appreciated!
@whiteflame may be right. You can keep most of what you have, just be a bit more specific as to which arguments and sources you're referring to.

I'm now convinced that Best.Korea is trolling
You've been here a while and a lot of people consider you the top debater on the site. See if you can use your clout to get us some votes.

Thanks for reading! I know it's a long one.
A lot of debates end with few or no votes so it's insurance
I've found that when you "give to get," RationalMadman just insults you
I will vote on this debate, please vote on mine.
I will vote on this, please vote on my debate.

Thanks for voting!
Ok, all good
All good, I just know my debates tend to be shorter than average. Sorry if I came across as condescending.
Just a reminder the time limit for args is 2 days, shorter than average

What age are we talking about here? Toddlers? Teenagers?
About one week left to vote

Agree with @Intelligence_06. Try to be impartial when voting.
Wikipedia defines BoP as "the obligation on a party in a dispute to provide sufficient warrant for its position." Interpret that how you will.
Does BoP require 100% certainty or does it just mean the onus is on me to show that China is probably detaining innocent people? "Proof" in a debate isn't the same as in court. You're arguing the negative either way. "That China isn't detaining innocent Uyghur Muslims" is also an assertion.

Well, it's good that you're forming your own opinion, one way or another.
Vote if you have time!

Likewise, thanks for debating! It's not often I get the opportunity to talk with people actually living in China.
Your vote lol

Tbf, half of whiteflame's wins come from anime music video battles. Not that I can complain since half of my debates have been rap battles so far.

Are sexual relations with a minor not abuse?
I'm not going to get nitpicky like that
