How would some of you do in a public debate?

[Howard]

I'm curious how some of you feel you'd do in a public debate.

[ZeroPatience]

Fuck off.

I'm curious how some of you feel you'd do in a public debate.
In all modesty, I think I'd do pretty well, but who knows.

I feel my public speaking ability would help me.
Some of you make some thoughtful, decent posts .
BUT, I'm not sure how that would translate in a live ,  public forum.

Overall, I think I'd do pretty well in public compared to this internet forum.
Maybe I'm wrong? Who'd you want to debate and on what topic?

Just curious.

The Internet is a public forum. If your live audience was peopled with Getbiggers, you'd likely get the same reaction as you do here; so would I.

Since you asked, you suck at debating.  Your facts are typically incomplete, misleading, or just flat out false.  You get butt hurt and threaten to leave.  But never do.  You repeatedly altered threads and deleted posts when you didn’t like what was being said.  Your attempts at humor fail about 99 percent of the time. 

Other than that I think you would do a fabulous job.

Good points. However, I'm not sure how they apply to a live public debate (speech), which is what he was referring to.

Don’t see why it would be any different live? 

[Kwon3]

Fuck off.

This is the only correct answer to anything this jamoke posts.

[Primemuscle]

Maybe it wouldn't be. However, a live performance/debate employs a variety of different communication tools not readily used in written format. How many Getbiggers do you think are the same in person as they are posting here. How many posts do you believe are misinterpreted?

There's no way to know the answer to that, because you'd need to have met them all in person to certify the consistency between online behavior and real-life behavior.

That said, there's two kinds of people the Internet: People who are the same online as offline, and those who adopt a persona on the Internet that wouldn't be compatible with their real-life deportment. Generally speaking, most anonymous people fall in the latter category, while those who put their heads above the ground have less incentive to be fake or act differently.

That said, I'm one of those people who falls in the first group. I see no reason why the Internet requires switching gears. I'd call Vince Goodrum fat and ugly to his face. I'd tease you about your baldness and liberalism if I saw you in person. I'd stand by my political persuasions in any argument with anyone here. And so on.

There are a handful of knuckleheads who say very personal things on here that they would never say in person because they would get punched in the face.  Keyboard warriors.

Still, someone who repeatedly mistates facts on here will likely do the same or worse in person/live.  Think about it:  anyone posting something has the benefit of Google but is either too lazy to check their facts or just dishonest.  How much worse would they be in person?

I’m sure you’ve had a live discussion with someone who clearly didn’t know what they were talking about.  Impossible to have a “debate” with someone like that.

Good post and I'm aware  you feel confident about your own political knowledge.
I believe most posters would "freeze up" if they debated on stage in front of a crowd.
I'm not talking about some 1 on 1 ," to your face" debate. I'm talking about on stage , in front of a large audience.

 I believe I'd "kick ass" in a live public debate , but who cares . Plus,  it will NEVER  happen for a variety of reasons.
The main reason  is,  nobody cares about watching me debate anyone LOL  

In a related issue, I remember how the avg "stud" behaved when we'd go out to the clubs.
I never drank and would ask girls to dance all night.
 If I liked her and got a good response I'd ask her out, or take her home.

Most guys , would be scared and act meek.
They'd lean by the bar , sit back and take all night checking out some girl.
It would take them a bunch of drinks before they had the balls to go up and even speak to her.

Most posters know , down deep , if they have the confidence and charisma to speak before a crowd.
They won't ever admit it, but we all know, if we have the balls to talk to any girl.

I'm no tough guy and I'm sure plenty of guys could kick my sorry, old ass.
I know many of you would do well, 1 on 1 debating in a room  with a couple people.
I got shot down by more girls, then I laid. That's not what this is about.

It's about having the confidence to get on stage and speak your mind, in front of a large crowd.
Maybe I'm wrong , but I don't think so.

No, you would suck in a live political debate for the reasons I stated.  Unless your audience consisted of middle school kids.  Or old people suffering from dementia.

[Board_SHERIF]

would be like debating a Cuckolded Forest Gump with a shit fetish

[Primemuscle]

All valid points, but I being live and in public is VERY different.
It's often said the most feared class in college is "public speaking".

Speaking your mind, 1 on 1 is very different from being on stage , on a live mic , in front of a crowd.
In my experience, most people "freeze up" and fail to project their views well.
In all modesty, I've done a lot of public speaking and excel at it.

I may not like Trump's politics but he's a highly EFFECTIVE public speaker.
He appeared quite confident and at ease in front of any large crowd.
There are all kinds of smart people on the issues.
Very few can project it on stage with effective charisma.

As a graduate of the Dale Carnegie's professional development courses, I recognize a lot of Trump's 'tricks' when speaking publicly. He's very animated. He'd be much more convincing if what he says wasn't a bunch of sheit and he wasn't so obviously bamboozling his audience. His mannerisms are completely predictable and corny.

Sounds like you're describing Howard

How big do you reckon Howie's cock is?  I'm inclined to say it's quite large.  9 wives really says something.

He strikes me as the kind of husband who asks his wife to peg him with a strap-on, actually. Which makes a lot of sense since his prostate's the size of a small grapefruit and the only way he can get himself off due to persistent erectile dysfunction (ED). The avodart didn't work for his BPH, either, hence the coconut-sized prostate. I imagine his bed and general living area have that stench of old man smell coupled with musty jock itch and the aroma of stale lubricant and semen stuck to his inner leg, enough to overwhelm the olfactory of any unwitting passer by during his morning bagel run in jogging shorts (balls sagging out through pant leg and all) to the local deli.

Bullshits his way through 9th grade physical science class with a bunch of 14 year olds who don't know their asses from holes in the ground and all of the sudden thinks he's Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas.

They say those who list public speaking as their greatest fear, probably haven't really done a lot of scary things. 

Odd OP topic...

We don't agree on much, but this is brilliant.

Hmm, never gave this a thought. I guess it could swing both ways.

I can think of several on here who’d verbally tie you in knots
And or Make you look so bad / unable to answer
That you’d Threaten to Leave or Actually Leave only to
Comeback when it was all over.

Though it’s an interesting idea open public forum debates
I’d imagine there’d be a good few punch ups as it got heated
& people frustrated / shown up - there’d have to be a lot of
Security.

Oh, it would be very different live:
Without the keyboard and screen, he would suck even more.


Maybe he'll get angry and flustered enough with the bashing he gets here to take another one of his "goodbye forever" hiatuses - the ones in which he dismisses, denies, pouts, sulks, and finally "swears" he will "never" return to a board.

Although a tired and predictable routine for him, those 6-10 week breaks are nice for the rest of us.
