In regards to what experience of political debate I have it's really none of your business and shouldn't affect my ability to join in in the section - but if you must know I competed in an Inter-Schools Debate 4 years running (finished in 2016) and argued points such as freedom of expression within teens of the 21st Century (the lack of it), and other things like immigration and prices of healthy food compared to unhealty. I was the Head Chairman for one year to.

To add to this I was part of a Youth Debate in the Houses of Parliament in 2014 I do believe which didn't really count for anything but gave us a bit more co fidence in talking about serious issues.

And now I'm part of the Student Parliament at my college, which may not be political based debate, but features the same basic fundemental skills.

Is that enough to satisfy your understanding I have no experience of political debate?

So tell me LT, what's your experience of Political Debate.

So you dont really have any experience and you dont participate?

Am I right in saying you dont own a house, have a full time job, drive a car or have children?

Of course I don't own a house but I know what goes into running it and don't take money for granted. I don't have a full time job because I'm actually In full time education in preparation for a lifelong career. I'm learning to drive so I don't get your point there. And if I had children at 16, which I don't, I'm sure you'd be judging the hell out of me anyway so it's not relevant.

I'm not going further off topic and I'm not having you downgrade my worthy experience so if you actually want to be a grown up and talk about this then you can DM me

Why should you be in charge of what interests me and where I can post?

Maybe you could create a “Serious Debates” social group instead, the main forum itself would be much more organised and more positive while the SD regulars can bicker there, I’m just saying my opinions so if you object then it’s fine with me...

Looks like it, this thread is about additions not deductions
