<p>Last weeks debate is done and it was an amazing debate with lots of participation with great ideas and discussion. &nbsp;I am very impressed with how people governed themselves through the debate. &nbsp;Well done! &nbsp;With 220 views on the post, we could have used a lot more voter participation as there was a tie with only 5 votes. &nbsp;As per the rules, I broke the tie and chose to award @Yulem with the win and the prize money of all the SBD from the post which works out to 6.753SBD. &nbsp;If you want to continue with the discussion or read the responses, <a href="https://steemit.com/ungrip/@wwf/debate-forum-week-1-sponsored-in-party-by-fulltimegeek">you are welcome to visit the post here.</a></p>

<p>Well done @Yulem and all the others that participated. &nbsp;This weeks topic is about vaccinations. &nbsp;As we all know, there is a lot of controversy surrounding the state forcing vaccinations, making it a term of condition for attending school, employment, etc. and discussions about vaccination injuries, autism and even death. &nbsp;There is also discussions about free will, right to our bodies and even questions about body ownership. &nbsp;</p>
<p>This weeks Debate Forum question: <strong>Do we support the state sponsored program to continue vaccinating people or reject the program for alternative methods of disease control. &nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The rules of this debate: &nbsp;</p>
<ol>
  <li>Keep comments on topic.</li>
  <li>No personal attacks, name calling or yelling. &nbsp;</li>
  <li>Be respectful, thoughtful and articulate with your thoughts and views.</li>
  <li>Participants can ask questions but lets limit the discussion &nbsp;threads to three deep. &nbsp;That means the individual can respond to the &nbsp;question posed and then the thread must stop. &nbsp;</li>
  <li>The post with the highest vote count will win the debate. &nbsp;Highest &nbsp;value will not be used to determine the winner but will naturally &nbsp;reward commenters who make excellent points. &nbsp;That way everyone's vote &nbsp;counts the same when it comes to the final prize. &nbsp;I will break any &nbsp;ties.</li>
  <li>Debate deadline is <strong>10pm MST December 9, 2017</strong>. &nbsp;At which point I will then tabulate the results and send the prize to the winner.</li>
  <li>Curators are encourage to vote as well, giving higher percentage &nbsp;upvotes for well thought out and written responses, lower or no vote for &nbsp;anybody who breaks the rules or fails to articulate their position. &nbsp;</li>
  <li>Winner will receive all the SBD that I receive from this post, &nbsp;complements of the curators who are participating and partially &nbsp;sponsored by <a href="https://steemit.com/@fulltimegeek">@FullTimeGeek</a>. &nbsp;</li>
  <li>I am the moderator and as such I disqualify myself from winning. &nbsp;&nbsp;My decisions are final and I will keep any steem this post generates. &nbsp;&nbsp;I will not tolerate covert or overt violence in this debate. &nbsp;Please &nbsp;keep it respectful and on topic.</li>
</ol>
<p>The goal of this contest is to engage the readers with thoughtful &nbsp;debate and to explore ideas that are not commonly made available to the &nbsp;average Jane and Joe. &nbsp;I also want to see if this is a good way to get &nbsp;low steem users participating and being rewarded with steem to help them &nbsp;build influence on this platform. &nbsp;Readers are reminded that all &nbsp;comments are the opinions of those who are posting and as such it is &nbsp;your responsibility to do your own research and make up your own mind on &nbsp;these topics. &nbsp;There is no write or wrong answer. &nbsp;Let us debate this &nbsp;issue with respect, honour, dignity, heart and intelligence. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
