  • i wish sam was the president

    Not very impartial. And that's not his only flaw as a debate moderator. Harris was saying that experience doesn't count as solid facts. So he cuts him in, in order to buttress what was essentially a beginner level sophism, an argument from authority : "The guy has lived there for 15 years, therefore he must be right!"

    Lame. And no wonder Harris said he would never debate on truthdig anymore.

  • It gives me great pleasure to know that one day soon, if not already, one less incompetent old fuck will be alive on this planet.

  • The moderator didn't moderate at all..

  • In my opinion, they are discussing to very different things...

    Chris always says how i IS, while Sam addresses why the current situation is bad, and how it should be instead... And both the moderator and Chris fails to recognize the problems that Sam are addressing, he says that there IS suicide bombing occuring, and the quran holds violent phrases.

    I feel sorry for Sam, arguing for Atheism to Christians and Muslims is like teaching math to a monkey.

  • What's wrong with having an olive garden state?

  • Wow, moderator. "Why don't you guys just...you know...put the cap on it."

    Why the hell were you even there?

  • @stereocil Yep. I was wondering why Sam said that he wouldn't debate on truth dig anymore myself. Now it's self explanatory. This morderator was horrible.

  • He said it himself: 'I was a lousy moderator'. Yes, I have taken his words out of context but that doesn't change the fact of the matter.

  • @OGRastamon Problem is, he obviously wasn't "agnostic". He was very biased towards Hedges during the debate.

  • @shaxanth27 I believe Shear indicated earlier in the debate that he is atheist. What he actually said here, in reference to the debaters, was " I remain an agnostic as to their differences".

  • @bapyou I know the deluge of honest facts does not fit into your superior mastery of 'intellectual horeshit',

    but please consider those of us so humbly waiting for your continued wisdom and leadership!
