BLUE FREE PHIL OSIFY
New 2 ED Forums & am confused by alot of what I have read.
We all come here to 'share' opinions, observation, & conclusions with each other, right?
Opinions are niether 'right' or 'wrong', they r a given right for each individuals 2 b different.
No one on the face of the earth can decide wether your opinion is 'Wrong', that would be wrong.
You may, although, agree or disagree, agreed?
People may also form an opinion on an opinion. However when expressing an opinion if you add 'labels' start name calling,
complaining, or
arguing. You r no longer expressing an opinion, you r passing judgment, & you r wrong. Regardless of your opinion.
Am I wrong or Right about this? Whats YOUR opinion? & Whats is the correct answer to these questions based on what i have stated above? 'if' I am wrong, whats your opinion?
(This is a true representation of who you r, so please ..Think before you reply)
you should read the stickies, this is a debate forum far to many people mistake as a "talk at long lengths about any god damn thing" forum.
Well correct me if I am 'wrong' but Debates r for Discrediting each other in front of a group who will later form an opinion based on the debate they have just witnessed.
Actually that is entirely wrong.

Winning the opinion is the goal of a Debate.....I do not have any concerne for who's opinion I will win or loose. Therefore, my post is not a 'debate'
But my reply to your opinion is.
Well those out there ..
No, the point of debating in the ED, and this would be clear if today wasn't apparently your first day, is to come to the most logical conclusion. To present all of the facts and decide what logically is correct.
