???????????????

Pro ~ Round 1

I know this is your first debate and I am honoured to take your debate virginity but, and I must have said this a thousand times over... A debate resolution is a statement, not a question. In this case, "William Shakespeare is still around."

Now that that is out of the way, let us continue:

"why is he still being read and acted out he has been dead for a number of years i mean if he is dead why are we still talkin about him
???????????????"

Culture. If one wants to be entertained in a sophisticated manner, then one turns away from the plebeian entertainment today. Tila Tequila, for example, is a modern-day entertainer. She entertains us while bringing about the belief that we can all be spoiled bisexual whores if we just work at it.

Also, Shakespeare was a genius in his works, though that is (ironically) debatable.

My opponent is obviously studying Romeo and Juliet in his ninth grade class and wishes to vent on the inequities of his studies. While I applaud the rebellion against the totalitarian school system, I must frown upon your non- cultural diffusion-like technique. Embrace these works and understand them better.

Now, the resolution states "William Shakespeare is still around." I can prove that he is.

1) His works are still being read, therefore the name of William Shakespeare is still being said, giving it relevance in modern society, leading to his prescence.

2) William Shakespeare has a myspace.

http://profile.myspace.com/...

This may be a fansite but obviously, someone has taken on the alias of "William Shakespeare" leading one to believe that he is indeed around, even if only in alias.
(IE, if my name were Bob but my alias was Happy, Happy would be around and therefore, would exist.)

For the above reasons and refutations, there is no alternative more logical than to vote PRO.

Thanks,
EG

Con ~ Round 2

um first eww!!! that was kinda stupid to say that you were taking my virginity wow! um so what if he has a my space i am not here to talk about him having a my space how is that relevent to this case? idc that he has a my spave i geuss that someone had a little too much time on there hands! and second i don't know if you know this but his "plays" if you can call them worth the time that it took them to be acted out. thats outrageous that you disagre with me on the fact that he is a old dead decreped and probly stupid maniacal old man!

Pro ~ Round 2

Thank you for refuting and completely annhialating every last one of my points.

Listen, in case you didn't know that was sarcasm. You started this debate in the hopes that someone would pose a worthy debate, yes? So, is it not your duty to do the same? My opponent has shown no refutations WHATSOEVER therefore, you vote PRO.

Thanks,

Pro ~ Round 3

It's too bad the best debator you can be is about as good as the many dogs you continue to post as your picture.

Listen, I understand it sucks to be beaten by someone... Wait, ELDER? You are one year older than I am. I simply produced a better case and given that you kind of HAVE to break down my arguments (If you can) in order to win, you lose by default.

Sad, I wanted to move you from the intelligence of a Chihuahua to a chimp.

Have fun, vote PRO.

Thanks a bunch,
