Debate.org should have a Prom

1) "the concepts of "Will anybody be lucky enough to have 2 or more prom dates and look like hes pimping? ," "getting laid," and "dropping a baby eight months later" don't seem like very gender-equal principles. "I can see why girls completely degrading a man for dropping a baby eight months later might not be gener equality, but that happens to women to so your argument is invalid"This doesn't really correspond with the actual concept of a prom. This is more like the parody of a prom"Things to do for Prom in real life,- 1) Ask people to go to it- 2) Talk to other people about Prom- 3) Reminisce about it a week laterThings to do at a DDO Prom- 1) Ask people to go to it- 2) Talk to other people about it- 3) Reminisce about it a week laterThey are pretty much the same concept. .. . "33% of DDO is anti-gay marriage, so this would not be the most gay-friendly event. "If advocates against gay marriage are mad about two guys hooking up to go to a made up prom on a debate website then they need to get friends or a life or something. .. ..2) "many DDO members are beyond high school (and prom) age. "Almost half of DDO is near Prom age. http://www.debate.org... "This prom idea excludes many important members of the DDO community who are married or whose partners are not interested in joining them in a virtual prom. "If your pissed off that youre too old to go to a made up prom on a debate website then you need to get friends and not be allowed on the internet. .. .. . "I'm posing the idea that this would make younger DDO users more vulnerable to predatory attacks by pedophiles "Sounds like something a PEDOPHILE WOULD SAYThis wont cause a pedophile attack because there arent going to be pictures posted or date rape drugs or acid in the punch, its - just - a - gag - for - people - to - do - on - the - forums. 3) "I don't know if this prom thing would even catch on, so I wouldn't emphasize the gossip argument too much. And if the event fails, then the gossip will simply be negative"People are already making threads about it and in the comments section of this debate people are thinking this would be fun. .. .. http://www.debate.org...^ BOOM, 110 COMMENTS AND COUNTING4) "So basically it consists of baseless voting from anyone on DDO who chooses to vote? " I see what you mean in that youre complaining that people who vote dont have to give a well thought out reason explaining their vote. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . How is the president of DDO elected again? Just submitting your vote and thats it? Yeah I dont think that baseless voting would be that controversial on a site that uses baseless voting to select a leader. .. ..5) The argument about Prom mafia has been dropped 6) "From what I see, this whole idea would be forum-based. .. "THE WHOLE THING WILL BE FORUM BASED YOU DING-DONG! !! !! !! !! !Ok let me summarize my points. Prom on DDO isnt going to involve actually meeting people in real life, it is only going to be on the forums, it will just be a community activity for people to gossip and chat about, and will be harmless. People ask people to Prom and thats about as serious as it will ever get, from there you simply announce who your prom date is and participate in all the prom games and gossip that comes with the event. Older people can stay out of it, People dont have to go, its all for fun.
