Civil Debate

[Darkwind]

Does that even exist in America today?

Give examples of debates that turned nasty with name-calling and outright foaming at the mouth radicalism.

Should we even try to return to civil debate?

What say you?

Not possible, which the cult proved yesterday.

I hope America finds their way, you were the beacon of free speech and debate. Hopefully Kirk inspired younger people to speak freely, love G-d and engage in debate, NOT violence.

It seems some in Canada don't share this mantra and it doesn't surprise me at all. This woman is apparently a professor at University of Toronto, she is taking heat:

A microscopic look into the problem that we face.

This is why I say Universities and the Media are the very epiccenter of civil unrest in this and your nation.

Tying the knot in their own noose.

Now, that's ignorance.

The problem is that the media won't hold them to account, and they really are not tying their own knot.

Charlie Kirk challenged them to civil debate. They could not do it. Their positions are untenable.

So rather than debate - they assassinated him.

Democrats, the Left, will do it to you too. Wait.

I have had many civil debates with some lefties on this forum, and we've disagreed on many issues. But if you want civility then you have to give it. Too often a disagreement turns into an attack on the poster instead of the post.

Real academic debates are great. Politician debates are crap.

No, they still happen. I tend to find them broadcast from UK universities.

Even before social media was a thing, how often did civil debates ever take place?

God bless you always!!!

Unpopular opinion....but I think that the powers-that-shouldn't-be have been continuously and purposely pitting groups against each other, namely "right" vs "left", but also white vs black, etc. As I've posted a guhzillion times, they WANT the deep division and chaos, because ultimately it's all about Divide and Conquer. And Order out of Chaos.

In fact... what I'm about to say might be better in the conspiracy section, because admittedly it sounds far-fetched... but some people believe they're trying to instigate a civil war.

I for one refuse to be manipulated to hate fellow Americans, or anyone for that matter. Even if I believe they are brainwashed or deeply misguided. Even the bible says, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12)
