Debate is actually very important. If you don't debate, you don't refine a critical skill that is required in life. Additionally, you will find out if your side of an argument is actually sound or full of holes. I often enter a debate thinking that the side I have chose is the best or correct side, just to find out that there are other opinions that change my mind. Also, by debating here, you are enriching the world. The are people who come here from over 200 countries. The read and participate. They are interested in your perspective. Often times, people from different countries and backgrounds have much to share that other have not thought about. Eventually, this site will become a fountain of knowledge that others can search through to find their own answers and conclusions. Debating is a fundamental part of life.

Otherwise,we've not been here;It enhances our skill to analyze a situation which may have different perspectives,enhances our skill to present our idea in a more acceptable manner that is approved by most.Everyone has a say in everything so obviously it's helpful.

Yes. It is a cheap source of entertainment and good for several laughs. Often those that claim to be against your position do nothing more than reinforce it. One argues logic, seldom has any.
