I challenge L-M, choose your poison.

Due to the lack of emoticons, I'm going to be providing my own during this round (via hyperlink) for the heck of it. My opponent has opted to drop all of his arguments in favor of reading the manga chapters in this series during the debate. He believes that because the resolution includes the term "all", that by reading some of the chapters during the debate, he won't have to read them all afterwards. However . . . ME:http://i153.photobucket.com... There are two problems with this line of thought: 1) In the previous round (R2 to be precise), PRO made it explicitly clear that he would not have time to read the manga during the debate due to the fact that he had far better things to be doing and that one shuold do things which are more beneficial to them at the moment (remember, he explicitly insinuated that all of those other activies provided more benefits. As long as he can do them, his reasoning concluded that he ought to do them). He initially agreed that it would be most reasonable for him to read the manga some point in time after the debate had concluded. By only stating the direct opposite in this round, one has to question instigator's reliability on presenting testimony. If his previous claims were not in fact reliable, why should his current claims be considered any more reliable? In addition, due to the fact that he is indeed the instigator off this debate, my opponent has a very good motive to lie. Thus, it would be injudicious to take his claims at face value. 2) Even assuming he isn't lying and that his testimony can be considered reliable, there is something else of even greater importance that we must consider. ME: http://i153.photobucket.com... - Distinguished members of the audience, consider the following question: If you enjoy something, should you only be inclined to only enjoy it once? For instance, I believe that the Dark Knight was an impeccable film and perhaps one of the best movies of our time. Would it not be reasonable for me to wish to watch the film once more? So that I may possible enjoy it again as well as perhaps get an even deeper insight on what the film has to offer. As you can see in this round, my opponent has made the assertion that he likes this manga and that I was correct about it being a good read for someone with his characteristics. Thus, I making the following proposition: Seeing as how he enjoys what the series is offering, I propose that he take the time to read it once more at some point in the future so that: 1)He may have the opportunity relive his past enjoyment. 2) If he decides to read it again when the manga series is complete (because as of right now, it is still ongoing; it has not ended yet), he will have the benefit of enjoying it all at once without having to wait for a new chapter every month or week. 3) If he reads it at an older age, he will be experienced enough in the many mysteries of the world to be able to better grasp the manga's message as well as see through the many layers which this complex series has. Of course, this is not just the case for "Liar Game" but many other intellectual related works of fiction as well (Slaughter House Five and Mother Night are very good examples) 4) Provided he has children at some point, he can take the time to read this enjoyable manga series along with them. This would serve not only to stimulate their intellect (as pointed out, this series caters to intellectuals), but would be an excellent way to have some parental "bonding time" with them as well. You'll find that this answers my opponent's recent round sufficiently. Ergo, the instigator's atempt to circumvent my position is revealed to be futile. ME: http://i153.photobucket.com...
