I am so sick of the crying and moaning.  Just shut up.  we are not talking about carrier rape on wake, we are talking about real life issues that deal with peoples feelings and beliefs.  My god if you can't see that distinction.

I think it really depends on the subject matter.  The classics will always bring out the best in people.  I remember quite a few threads about homosexuality in particular that went south very quickly.

Ultimately, people debate for different reasons.  I debate for the free exchange of ideas, not to change someone's mind.  Therefore, I don't get upset or personal unless there's a needless and specific attack.  And even then ... it's a forum.

I will say that some people (and I'm imagining them to be the type that believe themselves to not only have the only truth, but that they need to convince the world that they're right) seem to get waaay to hot under the collar about things on here.
Ignorance is annoying. People think they have the be all and end all cure to other countries problems when they don't know shit about said countries culture. Other than that I can peacefully debate pretty much most things, apart from when I feel strongly about something. IE a child molester getting killed in prison.

Take CamPoe and I for instance, we insult each other on the forum all the time yet never let it get in the way of our secret romance outside of the forum.
You're cheating on me?!

The MEC always does that to the US carrier, this is why I hate Islam and create all the negative posts about it.

Ignorance is absolutely annoying, but it's also bliss.  In the end though, ignorance is it's own punishment and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.  I mean ... just look how it makes people behave.

Maybe, maybe not.

The thing is, ad-hominen attacks are not debate - in a debate, if someone makes a good point the other will concede that point, not call the first an idiot or worse (unless it's clearly and unequivocally warranted).

There's far too much banging of ones head against numerous brickwalls, can't we find a more constructive manner in which to debate various subjects?

I beg to differ. How is a new house going to help? - all that'll happen is everyone will move in there and the same old bickering will start all over again. The people need to change, not the location.

Guys, debate gets heated just like marine said, and imo that's also what makes debating fun. I do doubt anyone here gets seriously offended by someone typing stuff on his computer, if you do get offended however- you shouldn't be.

Well it's not opting out if you don't catch it in the first place.

Firstly, again, building a new house ain't gonna stop that.
Secondly, part of having good debating skills is quoting one's sources, whatever sources they may be.

Some people need new hobbies. Seems like all they do is troll on D&ST. If people talked the way they do around here in the BF2 section I could imagine a lot more bans being handed out.
What does that shitty section have to do with anything?


Also, if you can't handle the cold then get out of Siberia.
What does it have to do? It's one reason why BF2s has BF2 in its name.

Apparently some of you didn't see my point. Spam is spam in the BF2 section. Spam is not spam in D&ST. Insults are insults in the BF2 section. Insults are not insults in this section. Get it? I may not post as much as I read here, but this is just my observation. Personally I try to take what a lot of people say with a grain of salt around here, but should we take the rules with a grain of salt too? Not suggesting we should be strict nazis.

Rules.
