Debate Rules
Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

does debate really solve anything? it's like two trees fighting; no matter how much they sway, they can't move each other.

Debating gives you a chance to see both sides of an argument, and if you're not bull-headed, it allows you to develop a less one-sided opinion so you don't seem ignorant in future debates.
Plus when people call you out on an outrageous claim, it forces you to do your research in order to avoid such embarrassment in the future. I usually end up coming to some sort of compromise in my debates, mainly because I'm a little more loose. I don't think there's really any "right" opinion, just some are flawed slightly.  So.. it is possible to debate debate.. I think. QUOTE(Days Nearly Over @ Jul 6 2005, 7:10 PM) example one: string in your pocket.   Example two: my post in this thread. And here's why it's pointless. My post doesn't actually debate debate. It debates whether debating debate is possible and whether debating is worthwhile, but doesn't debate debate itself. Or does it? :P (read that one out loud) .:edit:. I must have confused my browser, because making this last post made every Firefox window close without warning. I had to pull out the last paragraph or so from memory. D: |
