CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I'm not here to make friends "Joe"...sorry...it's just not an issue with me. How my so-called "friends" one has on here does not seem to correlate to whether or not their positions are true or not.
Truth is such a strong word. Positions are like the shifting sands of the Sahara forest, which my great, great uncle (the greatest lumber jack that ever lived) used to work in.
What is really true does not change with the wind IMO. Opinions may change but truth usually does not. The only non-example of this is scientific truth, which is almost always evolving. Unfortunately, when issues of science are politicized, the first thing that usually gets through out the window is the truth, and I say that as a scientist myself.
Well, I'll probably shock you by saying that I'm not a fan of the global warming theory either, and I happen to be a meteorologist by trade. I NEVER debate global warming on the Internet either.
First off, I could care less how many "reward points " I have. Secondly, I read the original article before, and I still think that the original OP is a silly question.
You know, I was seriously wondering how it was possible for you not to have any points and then it occured to me, you lose points every time you down vote.
This rule was put into place because people here hate down voters..., so your down voting isn't buying you any friends. Well..., except for me. I don't down vote or make people my enemy just because I disagree with them ;)
"This rule was put into place because people here hate down voters..., so your down voting isn't buying you any friends"
...as far as you know.
"Well..., except for me. I don't down vote or make people my enemy just because I disagree with them"
It's funny...I actually thought about becoming an "Ally" of you, but I looked some more at some of the stuff that you post on here routinely, and I just coukldn;'t do it...lol...
I'm not here to make friends...I'm here to debate issues & "win" debates...whatever that means...
