The downside to this experment is there was absolutely no passion in any of the statements made... it was a point/counterpoint - I felt like I was back in my college debate team where you were handed and issue and told what side to debate... until you get passion in there... it's not exciting for me... Maybe it tones down politics from the fighting... there were no personal attacks whcih is good, but there's no person or personality behind the points being made.

I'd much rather see a debate that's civil but I'd like to see some of your personalities to it - I can easily Google and find any side of any issue and copy and paste.. I'd much rather know HOW a person feels about a topic and WHY they reached that conclusion.
