    Lets be specific. Lets say, Punic Wars (either one)? And for some examples for questions, "Could Hannibal have taken over Rome after Cannae?", or "Was it necessary to take over the southern part of Italy after Cannae?". You get the idea.

    Ok how about ancient history.
    Say:
    Would Alexander Conquer India if had not fallen ill and died?
    If Napoleon won at Waterloo what would happen?

    This better.

    I challenge anyone to figure out what the heck enoch actually wants to debate?

    Failing the unlikely take up of that challenge I challenge someone so far above my weight class its like an ant wanting to move the biggest rubber plant in the world, this goes beyond David and Goliath, this is wanda and the colossus territory, little dog challenging the big dog as it were.

    I challenge Garb to a debate on the psychotic effects of Tetrahydrocannabinol in relation to psychosis and specifically scizophrenia although a debate on the harmful effects on short term psychosis with reference to long term would be acceptable. I think a debate on the legal issues is relatively worthless since among educated people a consensus seems fairly easy to reach though it is an acceptable arguement if the opposition truly believes in the harmful effects, and the benefits of prohibition.

    I challenge any opponent on the merits of religion in modern culture and whether or not a)secularism and b)outright ban of religion is a rational course of action in any developed state. I will take the side against religion.

    In contrast to the efforts of tiny Israel to make contributions to the world so as to better mankind, one has to ask what have those who have strived to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth done other than to create hate and bloodshed.
