Desiring Debate & Discussion .....

Postby Oracle » Tue Mar 11, 2008 9:35 pm

I would like to propose a thread where we can present topics of interest for discussion, for die-hard debaters ... no whining wimps spoiling the show!

If you are of a sensitive disposition, leave now!
Debates are disciplined arguments.

If you resort to labelling people e.g. racists, bigots, leave now!
Debates require open minds.

If you think a debater is aggressive because they are killing your ideas, leave now!
Debating is about destroying arguments.

Is anyone still there? :lol:

Who is brave enough to open a topic for discussion ..... :D

Do you have both in equal measure?

Which one would you prefer to retain into old age?

Is souvla particularly good at firing debate?

What factors would stifle debate, face to face ... or would seeing reactions heighten the excitement?

That's an assumption I would contest ... were that souvla to consist of octopus interlaced with courgettes .... I may be tempted ...

What is your favourite souvla constituent?

Men generally grow old while gaining a striking somehow dignified aura , not all but some , I cant wait to be old and distinguished !!
