Debates Are Worth Debating
Like is all this worth it what does debating solve in the world. Sure we may be talking about important things but blabbering about god and if he exists isn't going to make him come down and tell us right. U decide is this all worth it?

Well, each debater certainly thinks his or her debate is debate-worthy. I know I do.

It's worth it, definitely.
1. It's fun
2. You get to find out other people opinions, which is interesting
3.You get to state your own opinion
4.It helps to look at the arguments for and against something if you haven't made your mind up about it yet.

You're not going to find very many people who have an account w/ this site that will disagree with this.

Some debates are not worth debating about.
Of course, most are.
But I personally have learnt a lot from different people on their separate ideas. It becomes very interesting from time to time.

If even one person learns one thing per day then YES, it's worth it.

If they aren't, then why are we on this site? Maybe it's because we want to vent our anger.

Why aren't they worth debating? We're voicing our opinions to others who want to voice theirs. Ideas and beliefs get tossed around, some people become enlightened, others ignore people, start rants, etc.

Fact of the matter is, if we didn't debate, what else would we be doing? Playing World of Warcrack?

 Some ideas are so dumb that you can not even wrap your brain around it. Like some of the ones about religion.

Those would be the ones not worth debating. Sometimes I wonder why people debate something they can not prove or disprove.

It's almost like the non-believers want solid proof that they are right so they keep hounding away with the same ridiculous demands. Then they post a debate that makes no sense at all, just about the words they themselves have twisted...how do you argue with that???

Well its worth it because we don't have anything else to do but talk about the worlds problems and watch them happen. Its like watching a car full of babies going into a fire and not helping them and just talking about it.

No, not all debates are worth debating. Also no, "God" will not come down to prove us right or wrong.

But I agree with what scorpion said about gaining communication skills. I feel that it is a healthy way to voice one's opinion, and at the same time find out the opinions of others.

No.

But learning HOW TO talk to people, and to connect to some few members of the human race who also enjoy debate, is very good for Society.

Besides, I may be the minority here, probably am,....but,
I do not require, nor indeed even necessarily desire that someone agree with me all the time........
I enjoy The Sharpening Process you could say..............;-)........

Even if I am disagreed with, I get something good from the Intellectual Stimulation of debate.

For these reasons, I must disagree with this topic of debate as written above.
