We all know John Bruce wants some money....Careful. We all know John Bruce wants some money. After all, even he admits he gets paid a decent sum for public debates. Remember the debate challenge to Della rocca? John Bruce backed out because Jason didn't like the idea of being paid to debate on a college campus that had suffered a college shooting. And, really, that makes respectful sense.<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted the debate to take place at VA Tech or even NIU.<BR/><BR/>Remember, if you bring up any concerns such as not wanting to be paid for it, he'll scramble backwards and claim that you are a coward or something silly to cover up his greed and desire to abuse individuals, families, and communities that have suffered tragedies.<BR/><BR/>I say put it on National TV. ABC or even NBC. Not FOX because we know they are just as unethical and dishonorable as John Bruce.<BR/><BR/>And I highly recommend going in with a notebook PC and boxes of evidence to counter his typical arguments. There is plenty of evidence out there and it should be used to counter his arguments. Let the people know The Truth, The Whole Truth, And Nothing But The Truth. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to accept those facts. It's the audience that doesn't need to be misinformed by his lies and deceit.<BR/><BR/>Nightwng2000Nightwng2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/08654181420510778458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649691172450161008.post-65818386323184296442008-05-14T23:16:00.000-05:002008-05-14T23:16:00.000-05:00I agree with stephen.

Sure, it would be fun to watch, but I don't think it would change his opinion in any way(not that his opinion matters in the first place). If he was offered an interview not so long ago, he would have absolutely refused. Now, he is getting desperate, and will cling on to anything that will give him few more minutes on the radar. I wouldn't give him the pleasure if I were you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688006968444798612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649691172450161008.post-75046419903337249802008-05-13T19:09:00.000-05:002008-05-13T19:09:00.000-05:00You don't say why you now think such a debate woul...You don't say <I>why</I> you now think such a debate would be useful.  What about your phone conversation outweighs the solid criticisms from your <A HREF="http://lawofthegame.blogspot.com/2007/11/jack-thompson-debate-idea-is-over-rated.html" REL="nofollow">earlier post</A>?Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738088821988361938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649691172450161008.post-50409704651377733992008-05-12T21:45:00.000-05:002008-05-12T21:45:00.000-05:00While it's not a terrible idea, I would urge cauti...While it's not a terrible idea, I would urge caution -- and if you do follow through with it, show up extremely well-prepared.<BR/><BR/>A phone conversation and a public debate are two entirely different animals, and JT isn't exactly known for fighting fair.Cameron Sordenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17912508338947483606noreply@blogger.com
