- | ==What a debate should be like==
| + | |
- | In a debate, unlike an argument or a good old-fasioned yelling-at-each-other, both sides present their arguments clearly, and accept the other side's arguments graciously. There's debunking of arguments, sure, but no "omg how can u think that?? u sux!!" or anything of that sort. Plus both sides must be willing to change their viewpoint - steadfast stubborness is a bad thing to bring to a debate. I would like to thank [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] for this enjoyable debate about a [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Commandos in the Classroom#And Knowing Is Half the Battle!|fun fact]] that was in [[STUFF]] at the time.
