Deformography I've been nursing this idea... What do you guys think of an argument testing facility? You can post arguments in progress so that potential weaknesses can be found and strengthened, stuff like that. It makes much more sense and is a better idea in my head, I swear! Love it.

Hullo! heart
Okay, basically, you have all the facts.
But to put them in, be courteous, and NEVER call names or mudsling.
Also, proper grammar is great: Who would you lean towards:
1. Ahh, I see that. But in that case, then _______________ would then ________!
or
2. i c that... but in tat cse, hten_________ wuld htne __________!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111
Eeek..
Anyways, don't sink to THEIR level!
Hey, can I start a thread where I say what NOT to do in a debate? heart

Grip of Death Hmmm... Although you guys have seen me throw out lots of points, popular, unpopular, intelligent, unintelligent, etc here, I have found myself not to have much stamina or patience when debating with an opposing interest. It's nice to politely wait for any pro-choicer to volunteer helping with training, but in the meantime, try browsing through the logic library and memorizing key points and facts. Also, try picking up on Philosophy, if not as a study in school, then at least as a hobby. A basic and introduction level has a lot of practical use when encountering debates. Unfortunately, I do not have my school notes from when I studied in Ottawa, BUT one pretty timeless piece of advice is this- ***Treat the other person's points with the most noble intentions, then make your critique modeled after that perspective. *** Afterall, it's way too easy to trash another person's post and make them look stupid and evil when you deliberately twist whatever they said or just assume the most atrocious interpretation of their argument. It's way too easy to slip into logical fallacies such as ad hominem, strawman, etc. which ultimately serve nothing for either party in helping discovering "truth". Really, isn't the purpose of debate to ultimately uncover truth, even at one's own expense?
Just try to have all the facts and try not to get irrational and childish if you run out of arguments and/or points of reference.
