Debates and serious discussions as politics :/ And there are also other sub forums as Travel and Vacations since you mentioned the 'which city is better' lol I don't know if he is referring to making a Debate forum to explicitly talk about politics only, or even current events. It's true, though, that current events and politics and maybe the "Travel and Vacation Forum" may overlap under the category of Debate. But, there are other topics, philosophical ideology, and established facts that can be debated as well. I dunno, I was always one for the par that debate strengthens critical thinking skills, appeals and persuasiveness, and general overall knowledge of broad areas that can be connected together. It's a tough call. My question is: Babba O'riley, have you contacted a Global Moderator about the goals of a new forum section or looked at the forum application section before posting this? Perhaps that would help. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mind for this debate forum to open, i just don't understand the whole "debate" idea. Isn't a debate a serious discussion for any topic where people share their opinion on a subject and there are sides that show their arguements and all? Isn't that what we're doing in the Current Events and Topical Discussion? Anyways. Edited May 5, 2011 by He is Not Purple Link to post Share on other sites
Jade Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I agree with the others, what is the point? I feel we already have sections for this and to have a debate section, would more or less make it into an arguement section? Link to post Share on other sites

And you have strong points anyways. I was just wondering what he meant is all. Link to post Share on other sites
Babba O'riley Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Now that I think about it, this wasn't my best idea. So a mod can close it if they want... Link to post Share on other sites
dookdookdook Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I also don't think we need a separate forum for debates. You can debate topics under the appropriate forum whether it's current events, music or computers. So a mod can close it if they want... I'll just close this then. Link to post Share on other sites
