There Are Too Many Immature People On This Site.
I don't debate with someone who is being immature, calling names, or is being rude; because its not worth my time. A good debate is when both debaters understand what they are talking about, they respect the other persons opinion, but of course they don't agree with it, that's why its called a debate. Do you carry on debates with people when they are being rude or immature?

It seems to ebb and flow with immaturity here. There will be times when you can tell that there are a great many participants who are teens, or younger, then at other times it has participants that are older, but that doesn't necessarily mean maturity. Often i think there are adults here that are very immature, and other times i find kids who are quite mature.

It is not always the young debators that are the immature one, i am sixteen, debating on this site, and within a couple of days have been insulted by people whose only view is what is written in the bible, if it goes against the bible, that's it, we are evil people to them...
Maturity does not come with age,
it comes with education

 I agree 100%, some of the older debaters are more immature then the younger debaters.

To be honest 1 is really too many.

I was annoyed by them a few weeks ago but now I just sift through the pointless posts and look for names I feel have some worth.

I sometimes amuse myself by teasing the kiddiwinks which seems to be quite an effective way to stop their inane chatter bothering me.

I agree, there are way too many people who are simply using this site as an excuse to insult, offend and annoy people in the name of intellectual debate, unfortunately, when you have a site that allows users to present their ideas, problems and solutions, freedom of speech, and Murphy's Law, dictates that there will be people out there who use the site inappropriately.

I agree, I have been guilty of this myself, debates are controlled arguments, not shout matches.

I agree. People should behave in a sane, rational manner instead of hurling insults.

I disagree with this debate topic on the following grounds:

1. That we all have a voice.
2. That voice is not inappropriate to use to express the soul's values.
3. Age is not a worthy basis of to practice Discrimination.
4. Young people are very valuable to Society. They are the future.

 So, you think everyone on this site gives a mature debate? I never said anything about age or young people. Age really has nothing to do with how mature someone is.

Young readers of Forandagainst should be allowed to voice their opinion. What I would like to see under each statement is an identification, for example, such as : Garamond-M-70. M for male and 70 for my age.
I hope the managers of this site read our comments...

Everyone is immature. No one is completely mature.

There are several immature users on ForandAgainst, I do agree with that. But "too many"? I think the number of mature users easily out-numbers the less mature. However, I must agree with Guyman442's comment- "Debates are controlled arguments, not shout matches"

Everyone has the right to discuss, so everything is acceptable.

I assume that you suggest someone, which is a younger than you.

One solution is what you could close your eyes to debate,
