As we know this is the Debate forum. We discuss a wide variety of topics. Now my question will have you thinking...it's a little bit on the psychology side and what do think of our fellow members in this forum.
Every issue has different viewpoints to it. Is there always a right and a wrong side?
As you have mentioned every issue will evoke different viewpoints. There may not be a clear right or wrong about it . That is why it gets debated. Something that is clearly seen as right or wrong doesn't have much to debate about.
Are both sides valid?
They appear valid to those holding the views. After an open discussion its possible to get acquainted with a broader perspective to the issue and have more balanced views.
Do people tend to choose the right side more than the wrong side?Do they really support what they say?
People usually tend to choose what they believe is right. At times one may choose to choose a side contrary to one's own view just to kick start a debate or to keep it going. I feel that its eventually difficult to argue for a side you don't actually believe in for long. IMO people usually support what they say. What other reason could they possibly have to write what they do in a virtual medium? However, as in real life, its possible that some people do not actually walk their talk.
Is a person taking the "other" side targeted?
We get to see that sometimes usually in some heated discussions. Some members tend to do that a lot more than others. A few are seen to resort to personal attacks during the course of the debate which could be avoided as it is unnecessary and hampers a proper discussion.
Does it take guts to stand against the majority?
I guess it does as some members always seem to hit like and support their friends no matter how skewed their arguments may seem 😆 but as I said earlier I don't think one can go on supporting a side they do not believe in for long. One can always put forth counter arguments to the opposing views without attacking the opponent.
What side are you usually on?
The one that appeals to me.
Tell your experiences.
cant recall any particular experience at the moment but will share if something comes up as the thread progresses 😛
So...what do you think about choosing sides and how people choose sides. I'm sorry if this sounds a bit random or confusing lol.
Expressed above.
Note: please don't turn this into a battlefield, don't mention names, and keep it a civil discussion!
Not likely to turn into a battlefield yet! There have been far more controversial topics 😆 and don't mind if it does , popcorn times are welcome too 😆
P.S. This is the first topic I've made in the forum! 😊
