Default Hey Critical Thinking

I have noticed a ton of arguements being taken personally. Critical Thinking is a place for discussion and debate. Debate is where someone refutes an opinion and supports his or her own. There is no reason to take offense about a reasonably presented debate. I know if someone insults what you belive in you tend to get insulted, however part of what makes humans sentient is the ability to control instinctive reactions. If someone debates with you, debate back. Don't insult them. Sure, put a harsh twinge on your comments, it makes it funner, but do not insult the person for having a opinion.

However on the flip side, if you present your opinion in a juvinile, disrespectful or just plain stupid way; you should expect to be made fun of.

If you keep argueing about something that people have just completely disproved, you should expect some insults. No one is going to respond polietly to the same opinion over and over again.

That is my two cents.

Welcome to CT... (no research to back this claim up) the forum with the highest percent of locked topics to total topics this side of the Dead Zone.

Everyone on this forum is too young to rent a car, and could therefore be called "juvinile". As such, the majority of the userbase is not mature. As such, they take things personally, even when they aren't, or are too stubborn to realize another point of view or listen to reason or logic.

This is nothing new for CT. Just be glad I don't allow religious threads. Those are the worst. People get really pissy when you attack their beliefs, considering they aren't something you can prove.

you have a point Tass, but If you are not able to handle it, you shouldn't even be in it. I don't see it as an age thing, I see it more as a problem with peoples' correspondance to know when you're out of your league and should not post especially if you're just going to end up making fun of someone because you can't think of a logical comeback.
Peace,

Hey Grandia, good thinking. Religous debates are pointless no one can ever win because of lack of proof on both sides.
