Hello, I'm back😆😆

so
what makes a good debate?

One that gives you 2-3 options, or one that doesn't give options at all?
Does a debate actually have to make sense, or do we make it make sense ourselves?
Does it need facts, or does it need possible theories?

A debate needs a healthy discussion with matured talking supported by some facts, unbiased as to religious and cultural values (unless the topic is on that) also unbiased with ur love for food, person or country.... 😊

I liked these views on another thread.

I agree that it is usually not possible to bring another round to one's views. However, there are many ways in which debating is fruitful:

1. It allows us to put forward our views with logic, reason, facts and yes, sometimes emotion too. It helps us in organising our own minds in setting out an argument.

2. It is not possible to debate a subject without some amount of research and this improves our knowledge.

3. When reading/listening to a counter argument, our minds open up to accepting a completely different point of view without rancour.

4. If we have debated our point well, it makes the "opponent" accept the logic and reasoning even if he does not come round to our view.

5. And finally, we might even succeed in convincing other.

Sensible debaters who have strong opinions of their won but are willing to accept that others may have equally strong opinions themselves. As Voltaire said "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". A good debater should follow this.
