Hi Michael,
You have started the debate!
Debate: From Dictionary.com 1. a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints: a debate in the Senate on farm price supports. 2. a formal contest in which the affirmative and negative sides of a proposition are advocated by opposing speakers. 3. deliberation; consideration.
I am assuming Saeed has been given the topic, "first deserve, then desire" as a debate topic for the purpose of an exercise in using English language. His job is not to decide weather deserve should preceed desire, but to practice constructing sentences and putting them together in a way that supports his topic. The topic could be anything from "cats are better than dogs" to "driving a car is bad for your health"! |

Hi Expatcat,
Iīm sorry, but I think I didnīt start anything. Your helpful link suggested a debate to contain affirmative and also negative points of view. I just added some negative to the subject "first deserve, then desire" arguments - according to Drsaeedīs request - in order to help him/her on the debate purpose. Others might add affirmative arguments.
Perhaps we can have a great discussion here so that our support for Drsaeed will become quite a huge help.
Regards
Michael |
