Debate is not a discussion but an argument. In most debates (esp in schools) one is asked to take a certain stand and argue their way out.
Here on DM we very often have a discussion rather an argument unless personal egos get in the way.
There is no choice even if one has some other views.
Theres no such restriction here.
Debate skills have great value in politics, policies and legal cases.
Well as far as this forum is concerned I think its more of a pass time when we have enough time at our disposal.
It is an art of persuasion too and acting skills would be an added advantage.
What about virtual acting skills?
At times politicians offer other incentives to win votes.π
Are you too suggesting that it operates here on DM? Take a clear stand on this one now! π
