Okay, I'm ditching the current team system. Just post your team in your posts, i cant be bothered typing it down in the OP. And I think everyone agrees that speaking your mind would be better. So, next topiiic!

Would you rather be unable to move from the neck down or be suffering from severe depression?

Mosquitoes. While being amazing at screwing over people and sucking blood, they don't exactly usually kill people (at least directly, but Malaria isin't a thing up here really) while wasps are biological machines of mass destruction and hate.

I would say I would rather be unable to move from the neck down, as long as I get a cool-ass mech or exosuit. Also, there proably will be a way to play computer games with your brain only. Thinking commands or somestuff, so yeah. Severe depression is proably going to get me killed ASAP, while with some advancements and money you can live as a sentient vegetable.

Wasps. I can coexist with wasps, hell, I got french kissed by one some weeks ago. As long as they ignore me and I ignore them, everything's cool.

Mosquitos though... Mosquitos are God's way of showing us that he can be a real dick sometimes.

I would rather be accosted by mosquitoes. They're annoying, but their attacks aren't painful. Itchy maybe, but until I can rig up some netting I'd rather be itchy than get stung.

If they're malaria mosquitoes, then I'm sure quinine tonic makes a fine addition to a balanced breakfast.

This isn't really a "debate thread" so much as it is a "would you rather" thread. Might I suggest avoiding "either/or" questions?

If we're gonna do debates then we should have two teams debating about some shit, squabbling and all that - could even do some funny stuff where people argue on behalf of the stuff they vehemently oppose

Being enlarged would make me a better person in a lot of ways.

So maybe have the teams first, then the subject? Its fun having to argue a position you loathe sometime.

Okay that would be a hilarious/awesome topic, "The Debate the Other Side thread!" where you were only allowed to debate against your normal side. :P

It would be deliciously hilarious if someone got muted for flaming a person they would otherwise agree with. Also pretty bad for that person so don't do that.
