  1. The left side ("Pro") doesn't seem to believe in letting the other party speak on its turn. I would assume listening in general is not their strong side either.

  2.  Normal Person  When you're alone in the night with unknown party walking towards you the only safe assumption is to expect the worst. Note that it doesn't matter if the person walking towards you is black, white, yellow or blue. If he or she seems capable of causing bodily harm (and let's be honest, firearms are so easy to get that if he can walk, he is over the bar here) there's no safe way to deal with the situation. That's a pretty bad example of suggesting that people are afraid of e.g. black people for a reason.

  3. It seems that this debate should have been started with steelman argument for the definition of "political correctness" that everybody taking part of this debate believes. Starting to figure out what the term "Political correctness" means at 1:24:55 is pretty poor execution for this debate.
