The bitching is fun and all, but I find the members of this board completely oblivious to the format in which argumentation and debating should be carried out. Instead it seems most of you carry on like children with the namecalling and what not, hence my initial dumbed down responses. (I was hoping it would appeal to more of you.)

I figure maybe I can teach you all a thing or two, look at your politics forum for christ sakes. A valid argument is not made by calling your opponent names nor making blind statements, it takes you no where and ends up confusing as shit to others reading. It is very easy to find this sort of 'debate' going on since there are is usually nobody regulating boards like this.
You state your opinion and back it up the best you can, with sources wherever possible.
The next person then takes what you post into consideration and finds any possible flaws in logic or their information.
Look into the types of argumentative appeals, then come back and talk to me.
