Part 1

Debate this:

"The terms and conditions in online  "click-thru" agreements are so long and detailed that no one ever reads the agreement.  Therefore, the act of clicking on "Yes, I agree" is not really an acceptance."

How to respond in a "Debate This" conference. 

A debate conference will contain a declarative statement.  Your job is to take a "for" or "against" position.  In other words, either you agree with the statement or you do not.

The real work is offering reasons and evidence to support your position.  Try to think in clear terms.  State the proposition and then say "because" to state your reason. Your response should be 1-2 paragraphs in length. Your statement for debate in this conference is below.

Use strong "evidence" to support your position.  You may support your position with a well-reasoned, analytical response and/or you may use outside resources to serve as evidence (studies, statistics, articles, etc.) Provide source support where appropriate.
