Contest: The Debate (Week 39); Pen or Sword, who's mightier?
Hey there, are you ready for an exciting contest where you get to debate and decide between two options? Get ready to showcase your persuasive skills and convince me why your choice is better.
A debate is a discussion or argument where people present their opinions, arguments, and evidence on a specific topic. It's like a friendly battle of words where each side tries to convince a judge that their viewpoint is the stronger one.
It's a great way to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from different perspectives. Hence, this contest is based on this idea.

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Dear sir @sahmie .
According to the rules of your post, it was mentioned about the deadline for submitting posts:
For the Contest: The Debate (Week 38); Practical or Theory, which impact to life more?
I apologize in advance if I make any mistakes. If I'm not mistaken, the person you first selected submitted their post after the deadline as per the rules. Yet you selected them as the first choice. I would be very grateful if you could explain this reason."
You're very correct. I noticed after I've sent out the Steem Power, but then don't worry as I've something in stock for you. Hope it makes you happy too. I'm very sorry for that mix up. Please forgive me.
No worries at all! Mistakes are a part of life, and it's the thought that counts. I really appreciate your kindness and generosity. Looking forward to what you have in store, and thank you for being so considerate!
Thanks for the booming vote

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.
Wonderful man, just wonderful. Every time I open "the debate" I find a very griping topic. So creative, so captivating and commendable work from you. This is such a thing which helps to enhance the critical thinking. Thank you for conducting this amazing series of contests.
