Do you often venture in to Serious Debates section?

[Benjamin]

Or avoid it at all costs?

[Jake.]

I have a gander now and again

[LemonJam]

avoid it. I feel like I'm generally too uninformed for most of the topics... then when I occasionally venture in there and see some of the posts I wonder why I don't.

:joker:

[Smithy]

avoid, haven't got time to read 12 pages of essays about topics I don't really care about

[reece(:]

I only venture in for News stories.

[Vicky.]

Quite like SD tbh. Gets tedious having every thread turned into the exact same stuff though.

[Marsh.]

I'm starting to realise why I steered clear.

It is tiring having every issue turned into a "women aren't important" rant. Goodness knows why such trolls aren't banished.

[Z]

It's one of my favourite sections of the forum.

[Kizzy]

And mine :)

[smudgie]

To be quite honest, I never know where I am at any given time on here.
Just see a heading and pop on and see what is what.:hugesmile:

[MTVN]

Great section

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its a great section and not surprising that so far those that say they dont also like to diss it at the same time to make themselves feel better - ie they feel threatened by it.

[Niamh.]

If I have an interest in the topic I'll go in, alot of the topics seem to be about British Politics though and I have no interest/no nothing about that

[Kizzy]

Just had a look over the last month there have only been 3-4 threads relating to British politics that I can see.

You're such a flirt...

[Kyle]

The best serious debate threads are the ones that descend into anarchy with a ban or two handed out for good measure. Not seen one of those for a while :think:

Its nice to see a man wearing a tie when he is thrashing his naughty partner for not making his tea

If you understand that our main motivations as humans is to breed and to feel important then what you say is pretty standard human stuff and comes of no surprise.

It's all about keeping standards up.

[smeagol]

i do a lot lately , i love a laugh but things are so childish even for me lol its the only place there where i see a worthwhile thread.

[Ammi]

..sometimes I'll post in there, it depends on the topic/news story really and it's always interesting to read different opinions...I do think though that there is sometimes intentional 'baiting and winding up', which kind of spoils it for me because then a lot of opinions and posts are 'lost' because it can get too tedious to read through the threads or have any enthusiasm to post...

Who does that then, and is it just in serious debates or all over the forum?

[King Gizzard]

When there is a bit of variation I do, but most of the time it's just religion threads, been that way for ages

I dont think that is true looking at the list on page 1 and 2?

Usually filled with atheists ironically enough.

[Kizzy]

If it's something you have an interest in, experience of or opinion on get involved... If you don't, crack on! :laugh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

What is ironic about that, most people thankfully are are atheist - even the religious posters

This is the same bleating that happens on DS. People want to debate religion and will continue to do so until it is eradicated from schools and politics

after that, guess what

No one will care :sleep:

Apart from the atheists.

we are all atheists

some go just one god further than the other

Thankfully, the real world is not as simplistic as you.

You don't debate anything, you just tell people they're wrong.

[Marsh.]

I'm not.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I'm not.

keep telling yourself that with your fingers in your ears

:elephant::elephant::elephant:

What a convincing argument.

You have me stumped with your masterful debating skills. You should be running for PM.

yeah, there's rarely any opposition on here, but still they keep popping up Lol

[Shaun]

It's ok. The main reason behind 90% of my ignore list though.

[joeysteele]

Definitely one of my favourite sections of tibb,it is good to see good exchanges develop, even despite differing views.

I have picked up a lot and learned a great deal from the serious debates section from those I agree with and those I don't too in about equal measure.

[lostalex]

It's the first thing i think about when i wake up in the morning, and the last thing i think about before i go to sleep.

[Sophiee]

I occasionally look in there but not much, most of the topics don't really interest me at all and the threads are always long so it puts me off :laugh:.

The same for me too, lol. Rarely I will find a topic in there to rant about though. :laugh:

My feelings too joey, I'd rather have a good ol debate regardless if I agree or not than go in the chat threads for instance and be completely ignored :joker:

:joker:There was a joke done somewhere about myself and Mockinator patrolling the serious debates section.

I am a rather serious person really so serious topics interest me more as they do with you too Kizzy.
If they include politics then they are like magnets to me.:joker:

[Vanessa]

Sometimes i do. It depends if the argument interests me or not. :suspect:
