I personally enjoy debating. My school sadly doesn't have a debate team but in some of my classes we have small debates and I can win on whatever side Is given even if I don't agree with it.

No I dont enjoy it. I usually degenerate into personal attacks against the person I'm debating with.

In high school. Yes. But, I have grown out of it.

If I am well versed in the subject matter, I can not be beat.

I enjoy it if the subject is right. A lot of times debating about religion and politics can be very tiresome, and I hate debating about those subjects.

Same for me. I find it far too easy to get into a debate about religion, when in fact it's the topic I usually want to debate the least since it's pointless.

I agree.

No point in debating when you know neither side will convince the other.

Anytime I see a hoppin' religion thread, I always tell myself that I'm going to stay out of it. That usually lasts all of 5 minutes...

It depends on the subject matter. But I did enjoy my debate class in school, and I had fun competing at tournaments. But now that I've graduated, I don't really get to participate in any forensics activities anymore.

I love debating. I usually do really well, and the other person can't think of a good answer.

Then I get to enjoy watching them squirm:twisted:

I stay out of all debates really and just quietly go about my business. I have nothing to say really most of the time.

There are often political debates, but those often wittle down to name calling.

In religious discussions the names being called are of course divinely inspired. Its not the same thing, you see.

I don't like debating just for the heck of it. I like to exchange ideas though, and I hate it when people focus so much on winning the debates instead of learning from them. You see it constantly on OT and in real life If you prove a user dead wrong on something, you'll see him make the very same statement a week later hoping he can defend it this time.

It depends on the subject. It's really hard to win a debate just because the way to win is to convince the other person that he's wrong and that you're right. I'm pretty good at 9/11 debating though. People that believe 9/11 was an inside job need to look at all the obvious evidence of why it happened.

I enjoy a good debate where both sides are willing to listen. But I try to avoid debates with friends or family, especially religious ones because people get offended and upset easily.

Yes, I love to debate. Abortion is probably my favorite topic to debate about.

I wouldn't say I care about winning, it's more about learning something new for me :)
