Also, how about new topic.

The thread's fine corny, but it's really not a debate rather than a more detailed version of "what's your favorite xxx and why?". Seeing how things are going, all that's really needed is to change the thread title since it's not a debate thread. Anyways, don't let me stop the flow of conversation. Carry on.

both of you shut up and get back to debating why the 360's internet and games suck, and why the PS3 is so overpriced.

The taboo topics remove a huge chunk of debatable things to talk about (stupid IMO). Topics like "what's your favorite xxx" are not debate topics either because they're unfalsifiable claims with no way of proving/disproving them. And many other topics such as birth control and abortion are indirectly related to politics, religion and such. Even with global warming, someone would ought to mention Al Gore and then that's already a violation. Good luck finding a "clean" debate.

That being said, umm......
ok

Assuming humans will advance their technology enough so that space will become a viable area for resources and land, what do you think is the best way to divide up and claim property?

P.S. Debate topics should have ZERO flaming. You don't debate to feel good about yourself and not listen to others; that's not a debate. In which case you may want to redefine some things in your post Aceedwin.

lol.. sorry to tell you but that is actually a slightly political subject if you think about it.... lol

Now you see how the restrictions leave little room for debatable topics. Most good debate topics are eaten away by the restrictions. If such restrictions were imposed to reduce argument, well that's counterintuitive in making a good debate. I'm no mod, but I think the way to handle the roughness of topics such as politics is to enforce a zero-tolerance flaming rule rather than ban the topics altogether. That would not compromise our ability to discuss such topics IMO.
It's a little pet peeve I have, but I honestly think this reasoning is more logical. (You can probably tell I'm requesting a review or revision of the imposed topic bans, but I honestly don't think such flexibility will be provided sadly.)   

Also, the X-box topic is not a debatable one, as the subject is unfalsifiable and purely a matter of preferences rather than debatable facts.

Halo was developed by Bungie which at the time was owned by Microsoft so Xbox didnt just buy the rights to it, they basically developed it. Sony has always had Final Fantasy for most of its life and Nintendo obviously has more gaming mascots than anyone, (mario, zelda, metroid, etc).

So any one console isn't 'better' than any other. Unless you're talking about a specific catagory, such as processing power, or graphic capabilities the entire debate is opinionated. 

My personal opinion, however, is that Nintendo has always enabled the other companies to progress, such as developing the analogue controller, and developing Zelda Ocarina of Time which changed the face of gaming.  However, despite the Wii outselling almost anything, and the DS selling better than all the consoles, the xbox 360 is the best. Wide variety of games, good value for money, decent graphics, and easily playable.

60% First-Person Shooters
38% Crappy sports titles like Madden
2% Other

The Playstation 3 is a cood consol but it suffers from a very poor internet compatibility system that Xbox doesn't

Yes but remember that the PS3 is 100% free when it comes to going online. The Xbox 360 however has a monthly fee and that can stack up.

The PS2 is only $119 and has a huge range of games. I would certainly pick it with no hesitation during these economic times.

Right now the sales for the normal PS2 are kicking PS3's butt, and unless the company makes some drastic changes to the price range things are only going to get worse. I'm still glad I have one though.

PS3 is the better console, I'm sure of that, and if sony can get the ball rolling, it will be a great sucess. Halo has, unfortunately, gone to the Xbox, but at the same time, we have littlebigplanet!

It kinda fits in with what I class each console as, in consideration to what people like them.

Nintendo = Party goers.
Playstation = Casual gamers.
Xbox = Hardcore gamers.

Xbox can't have littlebigplanet, simply because it's too serious and hardcore, whilst Nintendo fans are less likely to create a level over a week. That's where the playstation fan comes in. Whilst it seems that all three are in the same market, they all control different branches of consumers.

Lol your "theory" on what type of console people have determines what they're like has a huge flaw ... what if they have 2 of one console
