What is it with people who try and debate and get pissed off when the
debate doesn’t go their way?
Seriously, there’s this chick on this parenting forum I’m on, we’ll call her J. Well, J has no idea how to debate. She simply spouts her opinion when debating, or uses her situations she’s been in as the god’s honest truth and the only way things can be. If she did it, you can too! She refuses to acknowledge that things are not always black and white or cut and dry, and if you point that out, she brings up irrelevant crap to try and ‘best’ you. It doesn’t work, and she always leaves in a huff after attempting and failing to make others look stupid.
My thing is… WHY? It’s a debate, not every opinion will MATCH yours! People
seem to forget that WAY too often!
People, I have noticed, take things in a debate personal. A food stamp
debate has some people saying that many people abuse the system, which they do.
Then someone hops on to say that well THEY don’t do it and people should leave
it alone. That wasn’t the debate, the debate was whether or not people were
abusing the system. Not whether or not YOU in particular were doing it. Hell, I’ve
been there, I didn’t abuse the system, but I can say with all honesty that a
LOT of people do.
It’s a debate. It’s not about opinions, it’s about facts.
If you are lacking in facts, then I think you may want to stay out of
the debate area…
