Its against the rules to make debates wich are not in the form of a question, as it is against the rules to personnally attack people. Do you want to know why? Its is to avoid utterly stupid and pointless debates such as this one.

As debators what do you expect us to do when we see the title of such a "debate"? There is no debate to be had, you are just throwing out your opinions without backing them upp without any kind of evidence. A user of this website once compared people who do such things as "monkeys who throw shit at each other" , the image is stricking and fits perfectly

No, it isn't against any rule to make a statement (either in the debate body or an argument), but debates by their nature have to be posed as a question due to the fact that you can't have a debate about a statement. You can have a debate about a question.

Non-Question based example debate title: The sky is blue.

Debate body: I think the sky is blue - prove me wrong

People can certainly debate the sky is blue or debate your statement, but why not just state the question.

Question based example debate title: Do you believe the sky is blue:

Debate body: I think the sky is blue - prove me wrong

People can now debate you because you have actually posed a question for them to debate.

Clearly you don't understand the concept of debate if you don't know that debates start in the form of a question...or do you? Should we debate it?

Simply look at the link below...click on any topic and you will see each is posed as a question.

Your "facts" can go in the body of the debate or in your arguments...Not the debate title.
