What do you do while you debate on createblog?

First, don't move this mods, cause its a topic about debating practices in a debating forum.

I usually browse other forums, watch tv/listen to music, chat with some people on AIM, and always keep a google window open.

i listen to music and read www.bash.org

well i mostly listen to music

i think this would be moved to Lounge.

I hope not, cause moving this to lounge would miss the whole point of it. People in the lounge would be like "wtf, i dont debate".

fiji_kid, you seem to do all the mod work dont you?

anyways, i think i'll elave it in here unless someone else decided not to. i mean, this IS a debate forum.

Well, i dont usually debate... but when i do, i guess i dont really do anything but post and type what i want to type. o.0;

Yes, but this forum is for debates...this is practically the same topic as one in the lounge about what you do while you're on createblog...

If you don't start debating about ways on what you do during a debate on createblog, then...we'll have to move this.

we can debate why this topic deserves to remain in the debate forum.

this topic shouldnt be moved cause it would just end up moving to the bottom of the "lounge" forum unanswered by many, cause people browsing the lounge usually arn't debating. And just cause the forum is called debate doesn't mean everything in it has to be a debate...things relating to a debate should be able to stay. this relates to practices while debating, basically as close to relating to a debate as possible. Any disagreements?

and it's different, cause when you're debatting you should be in an "opener" state of mind. so whatever you're doing while you debate is vital to how well you come off.

*edit :: i'm such a "debate" mongor i.e. "stubborn arguer".

hey pliz dont double post..
can some1 move this pliz

also their is not point in having this topic here ...
thats why this site has Lounge.

Shall we debate where this topic belongs?
This belongs in debate because it is about the debate. Do you suggest that the topic pinned should be in lounge because it isn't a debate?

Nice one!

omg...well i would say that this must be in the lounge and not pinned
where are the mods when u need them.. pliz make up a mind where does this belong

i doubt you have the cranial capacity to type a coherent sentence.

I didn't suggest that.

wow...I didn't know staff members were allowed to bash other members...

Owned.

*takes screenshot and inserts "owned" text in paint, proceeds to spread through out internet*

I usually research to see whether or not what's being said by the opposing side is true. AND I update my xanga, listen to music, read fanfics, watch anime, check emails.

I would have no clue where this should belong, so I'll keep my mouth shut on this one. But it sounds like it's going to be a debate to see where it'll belong. Haha.

listen to music.. or watch tv

Yes we are not allow to,
wait who just did that?

Tadadadadada NO.

I listen to music, do hw, then do other stuff
=)

hmm.. when i debate i think.. and then i get all mad.. and then i think alittle more that i go beat up my stuff animal.

Although some of you have stated rational reasons for it to be moved in the lounge, I believe that it'll be more appropriate in the debate forum. Not every single thread in the debate forum doesn't necessary need to have people debating in it (Although some people have been debating in this thread already ). Also, like Wildgriffin pointed out (I think it was him), moving this in the lounge forum would get replies like "I don't debate " so I think it'd be better off here. Yeah.

Right on, but keep the answers coming people. I'm sure there are alot more people out there not sharing their "debating practices". No more debating about where this topic belongs

Yea this started out as not being a debate topic but turned into one but even if it hadn't there are a lot of topics that have more than one place. The hottest girls and hottest guys thread could be considered debates as well. Its people with opposite or shared thoughts argueing on who they think is better looking. Have to take what the topic is about not just how the topic is replied to into consideration. Otherwise by what other people are saying then a lot of topics would need to be moved here cause yes they are about something else but they are also debating two sides of an issue.


in other words....topics are started by people and just like the people who start the topic you cant just uniform everything to one thing. People are individuals and so are the things they type :)

Okay, then...I usually eat, chat, research, and do homework while I'm debating.

i usually take my debating time to sort through my thoughts. i'm also talking to my hunnny :) and eating of course. besides that, i don't know, just being damn bored

while i debate i listen to music (let it burn right now =]) ohh and i get really pissed off for some reason while i debate. heh

Only time i get pissed off in a debate is when someone goes out of there way to look stupid, lol. it makes me sad.

lmao You're so funny Nick... [hugs]

nothing. when I debate, I debate.

I multitask

While im on CB, I listin da music, chat, watch TV, eat, drink, and drive jk jk

That's my amusement in debating.

I enjoy smiting the enemies of the Republic myself.

dude, i created a similar topic like this in the lounge like two months ago. in the lounge and it was a hot topic. creating more? ok, fine. but why do you open a google window, always?

Cause google rocks.

Also because there are cool facts you can find. Yahoo is messy. Altavista is too long to type out.

I do hw, talk to ppl, and browse around cb and wait for responses

um............................... this is such a weird topic ever....lols we are supposed to argue in debate not saying dumb stuff like this.... boring and i agree with val (mireh)... i came to debate and nothing else.

this topic should more likely to be closed like nooooooowww

Psssh, go read the first post you ditz.

It'd explain why this topic is here.

Well, this topic should stay in the debate forum because it's about debating. Simple logic. '_'

I usually browse around xanga while I'm in a debate because it takes a while for other people to reply and I don't really have that kind of patience. xP

i listen to music, think about how i need to get off the internet...and make sure i know what I'm debating on and make my stance

I'm usually listening to music and having a few more taps on my FireFox to see what other people have said in similar threads and older replies.. yeah, and possibly google/dictionary.com to make sure I don't sound like a fool and give false information and spell things incorrectly.

wow, random thing to bring back

i get distracted in the middle of a post, and start browsing either xanga or other forums

listen to music, kill people (in an online game, mind you. www.darklights.com) , talk to people, debate, debunk, and google facts.

google is one of the most essential debating tools.

dont forget ms paint!

haha.

yup, that is quite useful.

listen to music, talk to my friends online, eat, try to think of ways to defend my beliefs.

i...listen to music, AIM, do my homework, uhm...yeh.

Good old enemy smiting for me.
