who's smarter than you're? i'm!

That would only appeal to people who really like to debate. Where's the fun in that? A well-placed ad hominem and a cat gif are much more entertaining.

What would be interesting is if each debate topic was scored, such that some point a question could be answered and settled. Period. Done. Make it sticky.

Take a well-respected member of the forum, someone who's taken both 'sides' in the past and delivered convincing arguments, and have them moderate the thread: award a 'best post', 'best rebuttal', 'winning argument' and maybe a 0-10 scale to measure how convincing the counterpoint was.

I wish I had time today to go down this rabbit hole.

Right. I have more important non-work to do at work today than that non-work work.

It sounds right up my alley so I went and checked it out. I only read one thread so far (on abortion) and I wasn't all that impressed. The brain power seemed lacking compared to this board and another similar board I frequent. I'll try a different topic later.

The debate in the movie Old School is the best!!!

I agree. If I want real debate... I can visit the triathlon forum.
