when debating hurts......

* I found your title confusing, misleading, and even pessimistic. * I also found your post confusing, and I really didn't really got, what are you trying to say. I think, that is one of the reason, that people have not responded to your discussion, which sounds interesting (though, as I said, I didnt really got it properly). * Personlly, I think, at the end of the day, life goes on, this way or that way, with or without debate. I do debating for fun, and hardly go sentimental on it. I also don't like to indulge myself in any serious argument(s), either with my family members, or close friends, as I have noticed that most arguments finally end on a sore note. For me, seeing happy faces around me is more important than winning an argument. So, I generally try to let it go... Now some out of context comments too : * Good to see you wrting long post, keep it up. Would you also like to write with proper punctuation(s). I think, one is suppose to start a sentence with a 'C'apital letter (upper case). * You should be happy, that this discussion did'nt got many replies, so you won't have much chance to debate, and let either of the debater's feeling getting hurt! Cheers!

I can't agree with you more!! Debates are in the interest of the society.It's only through brainstorming that we can see potential challanges to a brilliant idea.It's debating that tells us whether we are progressing or regressing.It's through debates that we learn the flaws in our tradition and share our best with the world,but on the flip side ,if the essence of debating isn't appreciated then it,at times ,can get personal and might result in burns to the soul.It's necessary to understand that there will always be as many opinions as there are minds and there can hardly be a perfect course.It's when we let our minds travel beyond what 'we' believe is correct ,that we can be to places never explored before.It's not in our interest to be be offented with what is a great blessing.

Wonderful quote - "similarities create friendhsip while differences hold them together'. Debating on an issue naturally gives you different opinions, eg two sides of a coin. By debating an issue one gets positive as well as negative side of an issue. The person who starts the debate must be positive enough to see the broader picture. Meaning thereby he sould take the other side, may be I should say negative side in the right spirit. Debating does widen your scope of thinking and in the end gives you a better solution to an issue.

I particularly enjoy debating. In fact, I'm a debator myself, representing my school in various competitions. I agree with you, saying debating helps to develop our mental capacity. I think it also sharpens our sense of judging things and develop a rather indispensable form of outlook on everything in life. And the quote is awesome. Inspiring, in a way.

Debates bring two sides of the same thing and deep study of the matter,but when somebody become smarter and uncomprmising things will change to big diaster.
