I have to totally agree, especially when I decide to participate in them! Side: Yes. I totally agree
Yes, but your profoundly engaging threads raise the intellectual tone to the dizzy heights of mental stimulation.
Maybe someday we shallow, benighted unsophisticated simpletons will approach the brilliance of your debating genius. In the meantime;- Does God really exist? Why are the liberals so hypocritical? Why is Russia building up its nuclear arsenal? Is Vladimir Putin trying to redress the humiliation caused by Gorbachev's capitulation to the U.S. during the last arms race? Will American led western military alliance of N.A.T.O, confront Putin's military rhetoric and provocative strutting, or keep hiding under the bed as it did under the Obama administration? Side: Yes. I totally agree

I find that this is indeed true. Back then, when I created my account, this debating site used to have quality debates, things that people want to argue about and choose a side. But nowadays, people argue for the sake of arguing.... These debates have lost their quality... No more are the days when people on this site, argued for a reason. Now people argue to get points and to beat others Side: Yes. I totally agree

The most prolific creators of debates are propagandizing for specific political or religious ideologies, which is fine occasionally but if it happens all the time then it's like just a couple debate topics monopolize attention forever. And then it degenerates the site into childishness, extremity, and insult, as well as triggers boredom and absence of less radical members of the site. I was trying to think of an analogy and maybe it's like if you're at a bar or a party and in the beginning everyone is casually talking but as time goes on a couple blowhards get drunker and drunker and louder and louder until the milder attendees just go home and the brasher ones start fighting. And normally at this point the police show up and a few people get carted off to cool down, but there's no police at this site, instead it's like the loud troublemakers get to declare themselves the police and start throwing regulars out of the bar on their own. Side: Yes. I totally agree

Yeah, it seems like coming up with a great analogy would be pretty easy. But here, it really isn't. A bunch of vocal guys overusing the attention cascade. That doesn't really have much good analogies. These are the small debates, on which such tasks are easier. And, yes, no police (because that wouldn't be too enjoyable.) So, it's the perfect opportunity. Side: Yes. I totally agree
