So this is what I am thinking might be a good fun thing to do whilst still debating a topic.

A topic will be chosen, for this example, we will choose ‘Abortion - Right or wrong?’ and you will choose the side you DONT agree with and debate that side. For me, I’d have to take the stance of being AGAINST abortion.

I think it will be a great way to stretch your debating skills and perhaps take yourself out of your comfort zone.

If you don’t want to choose a side or participate then you can play the role of ‘Judge’ and choose the most convincing post (it doesn’t even have to be a post from a side you agre with)

Let me know your thoughts here.

No man, the idea is to take a topic, like say whether the moon landing was staged. Then you get two people who disagree on that topic to debate each other, with the twist being that they have to argue the side they don't actually believe.

@Ben

If you want to entice people to debate. You have to do so on what matters to them

You have to play onto the emotions of people. What they dislike and like. Hence your new gimmic will fail. You need to entice emotive people hee who care about what they believe in.. You have to think out of the box, not as you see yourself, but how others would.

Yes didge.
Make people feel emotions, you’re absolutely right.
Make people talk about what they dislike and like.

That already happens here, but we want to reverse it.
That’s what we are saying.

If you step out of your comfort zone you are thinking out of the box, which is what you just mentioned too.

So we are essentially saying the same thing.

Personally Eddie, its not the same thing at all and also, it will fail

That is my opinion

When you try to mold people to be yourself, you fail as a teacher.

No I do not want to fight and it goes back to my point last night to Eddie

You do not like people challenging you, hence the idiocy of your reply

Why can you not accept that I disagree with you, because honestly, you sound like a radical religious fuckwit

So you are saying I have to bow down to your opinions then?

Seriously, what the fuck?

The point was, Ben, was talking bollocks and I called him out on this and he failed to answer

Now, of course you will defend him, I understand that. But he is a big boy and can answer for himself

I mean Eddie, Ben tries to play my game at goading people to debate.

He uses emotive thinking, saying

"The Jews were the real Nazis."

Its not only idioctic, but not worthy of an inteliigent response. He did it to goad only.

Hence pathetic.

I mean he thinks I care about identity politics

I dont

I care that the Jews, have a historical home, being as they have been persecuted in so many nations and times in history.

Ben being the left wheel that he is, thinks he can get to me

Wrong. He is like a child and has no idea. If he wanted to get to me, he would get at my family.

hey didge

i think the point of the idea is that you would then argue from the point of saying the Jews should not have a historical home (persecuted or not). perhaps argue from the point of Palastinians instead.

It's an exercise in putting yourself in the other persons shoes, I suppose

It's a great idea but normally I can see different sides of an argument anyway

Well I would have to lie Gelico, being as there is no Arab Palestinian state  ever or people, before 1964

So is the point to argue from a position of lying on that issue?

Fuck that and why there is a problem with such leftist idocy

It wants to factor in lies

The reality is, just as the Europeans colonized the Americas, so did the Arabs with the Middle East and North Africa, th#rough Arabization

I mean to even answer Ben's question, would mean edcuatiting him on what Nazism was and its psudeo scientific racist beliefs. It was not even worth a response, as it was utterly stupid.

Of course and I know why Ben would invoke that, because he thinks the land was not colonized by the Arabs and that they are indegenious. It shows he is clueless on history

So what is the point. Him and Quill are both two spare wheels, indoctrinated with Marxist bollocks, where they lie and basically worship such bullshit. I see ity constantly with Quill in how he lies. Ben is the same and cannot think politically for himself. Thankfully he can in love.

The pair of them would shit a brick if trump pulled off peace in North Korea. They neither care about peace there. They are like previous haters of Obama. Its all about hate to them. Its nothing about positivity. They only want to see people fail, even at the cost of peace

That makes them empathatically twats

I love the idea of a more concentrated debate like this, the only drawback I can see is if the debate is one against one with a devils advocate or judge sat in the middle, wont that isolate the other posters who may want to chip in?

Exactly and who then is going to arbitrate?

The mods here like anyone are limited on knowledge

I can argue and have argued from the oppoistion view I hold. I have done it may times and why many people struggle to know what I truley believe in.

The point is this. It is a great idea, but nobody can arbitrate on who is right and it would be the same as any other debate. Its also very insulting to think that people do not see the other side of the argument. Its sooooo rude considering I have once been Catholic, Tory and now I am neither.

Being able to see the other side of the debate is important and we should question everything, and back this up with evidence. I mean I once defended Islam on forums for years and came to the conclusion, i was a hypocrite, being as a I was Athiest. All religious beliefs are poor and I saw, that it was a lie to defend one and mock the rest. When I should mock them all. I was sadly infested with leftist drivel.

Thankfully, now I am cured.

It wouldn't have to be a mod who arbitrated...maybe people with an interest in whatever subject was up for debate could volunteer, and the forum could vote for who they wanted to see fit that role.

And yes its often good to see both sides of an argument sometimes, but if someone firmly believes in a right way or a wrong way, like on abortion, the death penalty, politics and so on ...many subjects could be discussed and debated.

Didge, its a good idea to bring new things onto the forum....can you think of anything?

Didge, its a good idea to bring new things onto the forum....can you think of anything?

So again who can decide who is right or wrong on an opinion?

Nobody can, all people can do is reason their views

So its a ridiculous idea and more so for me, when I have been doing it for years. Hence why nobody knows truley my real views and I doubt they ever will. It shows I often always read both sides of the argument

So what people believe will be what they believe, as they cannot do what I do.

Challenge my own beliefs, question them and look to see, if I could be wrong

I do this constantly

Its called the outsider test

Looking at what you believe in skeptically, as you do on everthing else.

Considering I have been the only one that has ever done this and you have seen me do this to you in debates, shows it will have zero effect on people in debate.

Only first hand experince does effect and change people.

Yes but Didge, no matter how cleverly you think you may debate a topic, most people have views on certain subjects that no amount of debate will change.

You may think you are 100% right....they may think they are....if one person changes their veiws that could be because one debater has reasoned well and skilfully.....and the other debater has an open mind.

However,as will probably be the case, if no one changes their minds that's OK too...we cant all think alike and in any case most subjects are not simply black and white.

No I don't see any failing on my part.
Speaking generally, In debate a person shouldn't always be trying to score points and win people over to their way of thinking....its not necessary, the joy is in airing their own views and having someone else listen...preferably without hurling insults because the other person sees a different pov.

If you have no idea what I do believe in, how then could I then be scoring points or winning someone over to my views?

Seriously

Your whole answer was subjective and based again on what you believe should be debate, claiming how it can be joyful. That may well be in your case, but is it for me or anyone else?

You see how ridiculous your point was Syl?

You are thinking your view, is also based on others, when its simple your view

Never did

The reality is all posters on here, are outspoken people. Some more than others. This provides an avenue for people to air their views.

So we agree people are here because they enjoy debate? Cool

Yes most people are outspoken on forums, some more than others....but whereas some like a good old argument (and I count myself as one who does) some just quietly say their piece and leave it at that.

Where did I claim people did not enjoy a debate?

Never did

The reality is all posters on here, are outspoken people. Some more than others. This provides an avenue for people to air their views.

Let off steam as they say.

You just said...."Your whole answer was subjective and based again on what you believe should be debate, claiming how it can be joyful. That may well be in your case, but is it for me or anyone else?"

So we agree people are here because they enjoy debate? Cool

Yes most people are outspoken on forums, some more than others....but whereas some like a good old argument (and I count myself as one who does) some just quietly say their piece and leave it at that.


Of course they are here to enjoy debate Syl.

I think many also thrive on arguments and get a kick out of this

I mean I goad Ben loads at times and he hardly reacts, so fair play to him. He either bottles this up well or is easily able to simple see my views as insiginificant. If the later, I hold my hat off to him.

The reality is, everyone loves to argue, as we are all able to let off steam and vented frustration in our real lives. We know its not going to have any real effect as it may do, with people we are close to and love. Hence its a great place to let off steam. MY issue is, I have no level and do this in real life also.   Smile

Debate and arguments are good, how boring life would be if we all agreed.

I wouldn't say anything on a forum that I wouldn't say face to face in real life though....and that's where many forum arguments get out of hand imo.

As soon as the insults start flying...the argument is finished and just turns into a childish name calling fest.

Anyway Didge, thanks for the chat, am off for the night.
Have a good rest and take care...sleep well. x

I’ll tell you exactly WHY some people will shy away from it:

*They don’t actually like a challenge - they prefer to lazily stick to what they’ve last learned

*They are worried what other posters will think of them if they make too good a case...yeah, think about it!

*They actually don’t want to learn about the “other side” in case they learn something they can’t / won’t / don’t want to, admit.

*Most people hate stepping out of their comfort zone.


I absolutely could almost predict who was going to say no and who was going to see this as a creative challenge.

Okay, so we know didge won’t be participating (no offence didge but you don’t need to add a great big long post again, about why you don’t like the idea, we take your many posts as a no)

Gels and Syl, not sure where you both stand.

Anyone else want to say yes or no? It’s an idea we’ve been throwing about that appeals to us. Ben and I love this idea of challenging our opposite sides - anyone else?

I see my points went way over your head as per usual

I have already been doing this, for years, arguing from points, I do not support

Hey ho

I have done it many times, simple to entice people to debate. It has worked well so ffar, manily because of how I can be stubborn to a point

You really can be quite insulting in the way you think how people reason, espcially as it does take looking at the oppsoing views on anything to actually fully understand something

Its why I have always applied the outsider test. Hence why I ended up becoming an athiest.

So please do not patronize people in what they come to learn and reason. As its certainly far removed from how you learn and come to understand somethink

No worries. Is that why you have shied away from my challenge, where you believe that a god exists and I do not and yet I would argue that one does?

http://www.newsfixboard.com/t24610-eddie-is-going-to-need-to-put-your-money-where-her-mouth-is#466955

Is it because of the reasons you made?

i already said it was a good idea. It will definitely challenge peoples attitudes.

It's like newspapers. you can have a left wing media article on an event and also read a different atricle on the same event written by a right winger and you would think it's two different things.

the abortion situation is a good topic.

but like i said i can always see at least two sides to every argument anyway

yeah, but didge No one knows that that's what you're doing because you don't mention that at the time of debate which is why some folks say you would argue with your own shadow. If you're not actually letting people know that you're playing devils's advocate then it just seems like you're spinning in circles and don't really know what you believe in.

you say to entice people to debate but others may see it as goading into a pointless argument.

this is a definite exercise where people actually know that the other person is taking on an opposing side other than the one they actually agree with.

Thank you gels, like me, you see both sides usually.
I stick by my mantra that I believe in nothing 100%.

I’ll wait to see if any other posters like the idea and we can go from there.

You could start by getting existing threads actually debated instead of allowing dotards like Tommy and Nicko simply yawning.

If they don't want to debate , just ignore.

Only because the far right on here, and the mods have driven sensible and decent left wing posters from here to another place.
And Eddie and Ben want more posts?
You might want to look back on your own infantile contributions, children of nursery age are more eloquent.

There are some simply remedies to get more people..

And yawning is not one of them.

The only other person debating here now is Didge , and he blindly hates Corbyn for simply living.
