Yeah, everyone here is a bunch of dicks. Bardock alone is like 5 dicks. You're about 6. Doom is 3 and a half.

Would not the "art" of debating on KMC include conducting oneself in a civilized, respectful manner? This way, debates do not become fecalized via flurries of name-calling and other forms of non-germane self-expression.

I only argue when I have an incentive. On KMC no one ever agrees and it gets no where.
Shooting is a bit extreme. I recommend just waving your gun, or lifting your shirt just enough to show that you're packin' so the puto gets your point. comprende?
What Bardock said, there's a difference between a heated discussion and a flame war.
It only degenerates into a purposeful flame war that is FULL of insults (as opposed to the odd word, which everyone does) when people realise that they can't actually debate.
Eg: Abortion thread. That's when the conversation stagnates, when people are too stupid to understand simple points and keep rehashing it, resultantly- the thread always had to go back to a certain place.
Stupid people are the problem, yes. There, seems to be this "Everyone can debate" logic on KMC. Everyone has the RIGHT to, yes. Whether their contributions will be detrimental to the thread or not relies on their ability to debate properly. Debbiejo always drags things off topic. There's a connection.

Re: Re: The art of debating
QT hit the nail with that comment....it's only a forum guys. Why make a big huge deal out of it? We have discussions, we might agree or not agree, and we move on....simple. It's just like life we do thing and move on.
AC if you consider stupid people to be the problem. Wouldn't you consider people who think they smart an even bigger problem?

What...where...what....WHAT?
What fence?
If we are talking about the fence between stupid people and smart people then I can gladly say that stupid people only come from one side of the fence.....

No, not that fence...I'm talking about the fence on both sides of an issue. Come on bardock. But in the end you choose your side. Suit yourself my friend.

Yes, but no one is denying that...obviously there are idiots with any kind of opinion (although I'd say that some opinions might have a better share of idiots than others) ...
