To limit the amount of comment rebuts I'll have to make, I'll respond to Ragnar_Rahl's points in the order he gives them (including those in the comments), with a line in between. But first, I'd like to make a few observations on the argument as is thus far. First, I'd like to point out most of the reasons given to sup... | 0 | Darth_Grievous_42 |

This kind of debate is not my usual specialty, but what the h. I will be arguing that the "robot uprising" would be effective in causing man's extinction than the "zombie apocalypse." | 0 | Ragnar_Rahl |

I think first off for the purpose of our debate we should remove the "desired or intended" bit from the "effective" definition. Frankly this is not a desired or intended result, and I hope Grievous agrees, it's simply a result. The first element of a robot rebellion that makes it more effective is precisely the element... | 0 | Ragnar_Rahl |

You seem to be making a straw man of my philosophical argument. I was not arguing whether a zombie is a zombie, I was arguing about the consequences of the precursor to a zombie being a zombie- the cancellation of a law of nature that allows for human life. i.e. if a zombie virus occurs, humans are already dead and the... | 0 | Ragnar_Rahl |

Okay, the exact resolution is "Patrick_Henry is being childish and counterproductive in his actions against a certain group on debate.org" This group is of course the so-called "voting block" that actually isn't a voting block.
