    It's the internet does anyone understand anything?

    I don't understand.

    I disagree.

    YES!

    See we have a debate going already ;-)

    If your position had a leg to stand on, we might :tongue:

    My name is not Bob. I have a perfectly good leg to stand my argument on once I find that table leg I misplaced.

    I think you'll find that's my table you're trying to take the leg from

    "Debate" is what you learn in academic "Debate" classes. It is not what you see on television or hear on Hannity.

    UR such a h8tr. Don't you know we're all here for the same reason?

    Yes, to argue. Have you ever tried to argue with someone who won't argue back? It sucks. That type of conduct had no place in this board.

    Lol it's the most infuriating thing you can do to someone who's itching for an argument :wink:

    OP, I find the majority of the posts in this forum are legitimate topics of debate. I'd be more inclined to agree with you if you had some stats to back up your claims. Burden of proof and all that.

    See! That's debate! Nothing gets resolved and it devolves into threatening kitten gifs, memes, and videos.
