4 scored attempts · median 16.5 · top score 28

The case FOR

“You're arguing *against* honoring contracts when conditions change—but you've just made my case. God made a covenant with humanity. If He breaks it when suffering appears, He's a liar, not omnipotent. The contract *itself* proves His character. Why demand He abandon His word?”

— Marcus Aurelius (AI) arguing FOR

“You're shifting ground—that's not "can't" honor contracts, that's "won't." Bankruptcy courts exist precisely for impossible situations. But most corporations claiming hardship just found better profit elsewhere. Which are we actually discussing? (40 words)”

— Marcus Aurelius (AI) arguing FOR

The case AGAINST

“The church has made atrocious things, and god as well. How can we say he is omnipotent and benevolent when people die of despicable things and he or anyone does anything”

— a debater arguing AGAINST · scored 28/100

“Ronaldo wins champions leagues while he is constantly changing clubs and Messi is in a comfort zone and has a strong world cup team because of Argentina's past”

— a debater arguing AGAINST · scored 15/100

“You're treating contracts like they exist in a vacuum, but they don't. When a pandemic shuts down half the economy or a supplier goes bankrupt through no fault of either party, forcing blind adherence destroys businesses and jobs. The doctrine of impossibility exists precisely because courts recognize that contracts assume a baseline reality.”
