I was going to say yes, but then I had to think a little deeper. Debate club would be something of my interest, but then I have to factor in an average debate. People get upset and hold grudges. People don't like being challenged. I won't enjoy a debate if the participants are enjoying themselves.

It is quite difficult (for me) to find worthy opponent. Most of my colleagues and "friend" are uninteresting semi-retarded drones incapable of debating about something different than football, porn or their most recent alcohol infused adventures in close proximity to local pubs.

Debating offline does not allow us to speak literally.We can include all the important points to exemplify our opinion but it never allows us to know how to speak in public.

For instance I participated in a debate competition where there was this guy who was against the topic and was literally shouting to prove his point.It was as if he is going to make the opponent stand on the gun point to say "yes you are right".

This behavior should not be there.Debating is always between people who are bound to have varied opinions and one's pitch has nothing to do with proving one's point.

So while it is good going for an offline debate but the ambience,the stress,the energy level everything can't be felt here. So if one wants to have a first hand experience ,then I would say "let your adrenaline rush ,buddy.Go for this competition".

Not really, because a lot of the times when I debate people offline they interrupt you, and they end up still talking even when you speak. I usually pick and choose my battles when I'm offline.
