Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
utilizing his keen sense of cynicism, detective halfling has found me out . . .
alas, the millions i stood to gain from this venture (because clearly it MUST be a scam, i mean whyever would anyone want to try and institute something new just for the "fun" of it ) are now destined to remain forever out of reach. my dog shall simply have to carry on without that operation . . .

because all the tournaments are always 'free', and just for bragging rights.
if i were actually trying to 'scam' anyone, why on earth would i ASK if anyone knew a way to run this thing in such a way that i WOULD NOT be able (nor would anyone else) to access the money until AFTER the event and a winner is declared? i'm not OFFERING a way to do it, i'm ASKING if anyone KNOWS a way. i understand the fear of getting screwed on the web. i thought by asking for help in setting this up, it might alleviate some fears, but perhaps not.
meh, like i said, no one seems to have any ideas anyway, so the idea will likely remain unrealized. i just really thought it would be cool to have a debating event where people could prove how good they were and have a chance to win some form of prize is all. i hear loads of talk about how good this debator is, and how good that debator is -- it would be cool to see the best debating for cash.

I'm not saying it's a scam...I believe in the good in people, I'm just saying that a free one might be just as much fun without the trouble of well..all that you are suggesting.
We should have more than 2 or 3 parties, yet people don't research things to see what they have been programmed to think........Like there are only 2 parties..........and feel that they are throwing their vote away if they vote for anyone outside the 2 parties..............scared scared non thinking people.

there are more parties, the problem is that your system basically only allows for two real parties. It's a win or lose thing. I'm not saying that the German System is better, but it is better, you have an actual opposition and up to 5 parties.
People here are afraid they will be throwing their vote out to vote something besides the 2 parties..................chickens and chickens and fearful.
It's hard to go wrong with it, really: it's got the prefix 're' (again), 'public' (the people), and 'an' (an article).
'An' goes with a noun--which is, unfortunately, missing--but it's basically saying "____ to/for the people again". We'll say 'power' or something that makes it sound good.
(Think that'd make a good essay topic, or would the professor see through the bullshit?)
