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.

QUOTE Example: You're debating the cause and effect of a given congressional policy based on a combination of sources; CNN, FoxNews, political websites, and the little you remember from your freshman politcal science seminar that you slept through every morning, thanks to a massive hangover. How valid is your argument versus someone has taken a personal interest in that given subject, and felt the urge to study it thoroughly, by reading up on relative issues, and a history of the given subject? QUOTE I'll use myself as an example: Prior to arriving to Iraq, I only knew what military publications reported, and then balanced that off of the information provided by major media outlets. Upon my arrival, one of my responsibilities entailed being thoroughly briefed on the political, social, and combative affairs of the forces occupying this theater. The only way to acquire the knowledge necessary for me to do my job in the intelligence field is to be exposed to information that require a 'top secret' clearance. Without posing as a threat to operational security, I'm able to debate what I know to be true (from experience and the knowledge I receive directly), and what's commonly portrayed. Where does the source of your information come from? What would you consider to be a 'valid' source of information? How does experience come into play when debating a given topic? |

I don't know. Since I came back, I'm getting more respect. Not near as much as I'd like, but before I left, just about everyone hated me. Now I've got at least a few people that don't completely dislike me.

Now I've got at least a few people that don't completely dislike me. Agreed. Even if someone doesn't value a person they don't enjoy change. And everyone loves picking on me. If I was gone Steven couldn't be racist to anyone. |
