I just wanted to put this out there...
 

As a friendly reminder:

ar·gu·ment ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ärgy-mnt)
n.

A discussion in which disagreement is expressed; a debate.
A quarrel; a dispute.
Archaic. A reason or matter for dispute or contention: “sheath'd their swords for lack of argument” (Shakespeare).

A course of reasoning aimed at demonstrating truth or falsehood: presented a careful argument for extraterrestrial life.
A fact or statement put forth as proof or evidence; a reason: The current low mortgage rates are an argument for buying a house now.
A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others.

Argument and debate are the tools of learning and ultimately lead to knowledge.

In Tibet, Buddhist Monks are encouraged to argue and debate between themselves on topics they may not necessarily agree with.
The point being is to understand the subject fully.

If you come to a conclusion after an argument...it means you have'nt thought about it enough.

but what if your wrong?

I want the Chinese to let the Tibetens have their home back! *shakes fist*

/off topicish.

In a purely inquisitive manner:

I just want to ask what the purpose of this is. Whats the message behind this thread? Is it a suggestion that we as a forum are becoming too pc by not allowing arguments to fully develop into informative conversations?

Or should we just remember what an argument really is?

Basically me and Franscar?

Take from it what you want, I had my reasons for posting it. I could tell you why, but I have a feeling that if I told you why I posted it people would get defensive (you know they would) and it would loose its meaning.

By just putting it up, you get out of it what you put into it.

And Alejo, what are you talking about?

G'wan. You can tell us!

I already know, it's about the sxc thread. How are we supposed to "learn" from this if we don't know what our individual faults are.

What, our little altercation?

P.S An apology is in order.I shouldn't have gone off like that.

Guess it was the perfect end to the perfect day...........not.

No, I apogise, I was being ignorant and needed to get off my high horse. I guess I cared so much that I disregarded someone who actually had real experience.

*hugs cheeseman*

It's all good:)

*hugs Vanilla back*

I could have responded a bit more diplomatically though.

I didn't read the sxe thread, so I don't know what your talking about.

This was posted for a reason, and to Vanilla, you do it through self reflection.

Eeeee. Well there's a few people posting in the sxc thread who should read this!

Some people may reflect but be blinded to see what others really see...

Hahha. All the sponsored links at the top are like "Mr Creamy Vanilla farm" and shizz. Made me chuckle.

But, erm, yeah, backing up arguments with an actual argument, not opinion and stuff.. Yeah.

Heh, sorry :)

Hehe, there's one called "Be Raw And Slim"....wtf? RAW!!

???...what?

Ssh. The sponsored links at the top of the page said "Mr Creamy" and "Vanilla farm"... Was merely commenting, dont mind me :)
