Debate

Something you can't do with someone you don't disagree with.

I wish watching debates was a more prevalent pass time in our society. Most people aren't sitting around talking about the debates they watched recently. It's a shame schools don't really focus more on teaching kids how to properly formulate arguments. Of course there is debate in highschool but where I grew up that was all extracurricular.

break debater

A teacher or lecturer who debates with an unresponsive audience as to whether or not they should take a break during the course of the lecture, thereby wasting all the time that should have been spent on the break, debating on whether or not to take the break in the first place.

A break debater would debate a break in this manner: " Should we take a break? (waits for audience response of which there is none).....Yes?.....No?......Take a break?..... Yes take a break?..... No? (waits)"

baseless debater

Someone who is good at starting a debate, but is terrible at making good arguments.

Person A: I'm going to tell you why Mega-Shooters X is better than Super Platformer 9!
Person B: Okay. Why?
Person A: Err... Umm....
It just is, okay?!
Person B: If you're going to start a debate like that, at least have some good arguments.
Don't be a baseless debater.

Debate

I don't see the value in debating someone who rejects and/or doesn't understand both truth and/or meaning. And it's implicit in the act of you repeating the things I say. So... ME saying the thing made YOU feel something (likely distain or contempt) and you are trying to evoke that feeling in me... To get me to reflect that inward... And it alludes to a truth that you do not speak... And what it MEANS is reflected in your little "the cruelty is the point" mantra. Which is that I'm making vapid statements. Or that it's just vapid cruelty. And it IS and it ISN'T. And beyond that... It means that you're hyperfixated on the necessary redundancy because you're a bunch of fucking autists who don't understand meaning. The type of person that you are is literally the demons from Frieren. They don't understand that MEANING is entirely divorced from the words that are being said. That's why the Tim Walz Nazi salute is so important. It's DEMONstrative of the FACT that you use meaning instrumentally to shape public perception.

Hym "I'm sure you would like to debate in the absence of both the credit and the money I would derive from my massive accomplishment but what you are doing is essentially challenging Escanor to a fight at midnight."

Urban Debates

A debate among friends or family members, regarding pop culture.

During one of our many urban debates with my roommates. We discussed whether the word "consent" or "command" should be used for the quote: Fornication Under the Command of the King! I opted to use the word "command."
