No, not all debates are constructive or even serve their initial purpose. As many variants do effect them, specially intolerance and narrow-mindedness. And I agree that one should refrain from debating something he's totally uninformed in.hello guys, do you think debates as we know them now are constructive ? like 2 people sitting and argumenting, I've never seen any use of it other than manipulation by the most eloquent guy.
At bold; Nicely said. It's funny how most debates are 'won' by the ones who know how to articulate and construct their arguments and not necessarily by those who are righteous and honest.
