On Balance Bluesteel is the best bachelor on DDO

It should be known that Prog himself contributed a lot for this round. R1) Completely useless contention, prog is single as well. This did nothing to further your point R2) Mikal states that bluesteel is desirable. This claim bears an exceptionally high burden, as it attempts to establish objectivity: that a person can be objectively, incontrovertibly desirable. In reality, desirability is subjective: what one person deems as desirable another person may deem detestable. Bluesteel may find Asian girls particularly attractive because he attends Berkeley and, from what I hear, Asian girls are quite stunning. Another person may not. So this hardly advanced PRO's BOP. He then goes on to offer unverifiable -- bluesteel's a lawyer, so he knows that's Spanish for bullsh1t -- testimony from Cermank and thett3 saying that bluesteel is hot or desirable. Here's the problem, however: P1) (x) says (y) person is hot P2) Hotness, contextually, mandates objectivity for PRO's contentions to hold C1) It does not follow that the testimony of (x) bears out this contention Not only is the so-called evidence that PRO has provided lack truth value because it's anecdotal -- I cannot, for instance, verify that anyone said this on a google+ hangout or in a forum, and even then people troll -- but I can even attack it further by questioning his sources. Cermank has said that Mikal is hot. That RIGHT THERE discredits her testimony. Why? Because Mikal's questioning style is de-facto duress. On IDGAF, for instance, he would ask his guests who their favorite DDO'ers were. Naturally, largely by virtue of pressure, they would respond with "Mikal". Similarly, when they see they are being asked about bluesteel, or know this will be used in a debate defending/being seen by him, they will answer "bluesteel". This means absolutely nothing, nor is this testimony credible. As for thett3, he, like bluesteel, is listed as a girl who is "more modest than everyone else." Not to mention, thett has his own relationship problems, so he is HARDLY credible in this area. PRO's claim to repetition is also equally flawed -- nothing more than an ad populum fallacy. Therefore, we can discard this contention entirely. R3) How is "making bank" cool? As you make more money, people depend on you more, you're paying for the dinners, your marginal tax rates go up, people look at you differently, money corrupts you, and the next thing you know, you wake up in the middle of interstate NY, naked and confused, feeling as though you just had a cock shoved in your face. Money only destroys. By showing that he makes roughly 300% the median household income, all PRO has shown us is that bluesteel is an evil rich person. This does not bode well for a bachelor. Not to mention, prog is only 19; bluesteel has had MUCH more time to make "bank" than he has. R4) ELO does not correlate to intelligence; ELO correlates to how often you debate, how often you snipe, so forth. Mikal himself has admitted to this. He has said on several occasions that bluesteel and raisor are better debaters than him. But he's OVER 9000! Therefore, by his own word, ELO means nothing. On top of that, prog's only done on serious debate in months, and he beat Mikal -- making him one of only two people to ever have done so. It should also be noted that a. We have poor judges, and b. Percentile is a poor element of judgement So, P1) bluesteel has a higher percentile P2) Percentile is a poor judge C1) bluesteel is rated highly by poor judges P3) The majority of judges on DDO are bad P4) Bad judges wrongly vote P5) bluesteel is rated highly by poor judges C2) bluesteel is wrongly rated highly R5) Prog didn't "rage quit" because someone insulted his beard. This is an unsubstantiated ad hominem from PRO that should immediately lose his conduct. He's spreading false rumors and tarnishing the character -- and the beard -- of a well-respected member. Let it also be noted that bluesteel failed to put a question mark at the end of his best friends statement. Grammatical errors are not cool. This contention falls apart. Also, coolness is subjective, so PRO will have to do better than that to prove coolness. R6) See R5. R7) I've already mentioned that bluesteel has some strange fetishes, so "sexing things up" isn't exactly positive. Now, who would you really want to be with? Prog, the brilliant, yet chaste, prog, or bluesteel, the cousin kissing furry feeling whore? Now, a few more contentions C4) Lawyers are arsholes It is a well-accepted fact that lawyers are complete arsholes. P1) Lawyers are arsholes P2) Bluesteel is a lawyer C1) Therefore, bluesteel is an arshole C5) Prog is a genius Prog has an IQ of 153, literally smarter than virtually every member of DDO. Of course he would make a good bachelor. C6) Prog is younger than bluesteel Prog still has time under his belt to decide how he would like to live his life -- a free, open soul, no longer held back by the clutches of this God-forsaken site. Bluesteel, however, is a boring, much older lawyer who, as we've discussed, is an arshole. C7) Beard Those lucky few that have seen prog were only talking of his beard the next day, for the entire day. Clearly, it is a sight to behold. Now, men don't shave [1], so why is bluesteel's face cleenshaven? It's clear he's either not a real man, or just can't grow a beard. Both options help show that prog is clearly more desirable than bluesteel. C8) Honesty I'd like to come back to this contention from R1 and just remind everyone that bluesteel is, in fact, a lawyer. C9) Prog is actually a bachelor For my final contention, I'd just like to point out that bluesteel is, indeed engaged [2]. So, either this is true, or everything on his dishonesty I pointed out in R1 is real, and he is not looking for a relationship and making less than 150k a year, destroying two of PRO's previous arguments. 1. 2. http://www.debate.org...
