"I love argument, I love debate. I don't expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that's not their job." ~Margaret Thatcher
I love debate because it shows every angel of an aspect. I show the way I see it, someone finds a problem, and I try to figure out how to either fix the problem or show how it isn't a problem in the first place. Or vice versa. It's also quite satisfying to be able to make an argument that no one can poke any holes in.
It's supposed to be a learning experience, not a 'I'm better then you because you can't think right' or something. If everyone got that, then maybe you wouldn't have to delete almost every single debate that comes up.
