Debating and Arguments

I have been thinking from a while to write about the debate and the argument issue , on the blog sphere and in the real life connections.

In the real life , I had noticed in my work that fights could come up for the least trival reasons , could be the discussion about the best football player or about the fashion.

Things that may bear double standard of opinions , every one is convinced by something it is fine , I don't think that one party should underestimate from the other's opinion so as to prove that he is right.

Why ? Sometimes It is not even an important issue on the first basis. And what is wrong if I made a discussion with some one and she reconvinced me by something that I believe that she might be right about it, it is for my own benefit.

Even in the vital issues , sometimes stubborness and the person's need to preserve his/her ego from proving that they might be wrong may lead them to loose of listening to the others even if these opinions are true.

What if we can have a civilized argument and debate with open objective minds ,

People have different experiences in their lives and if they didn't pass through a certain expereince , they may had seen it with people they know, so what is wrong in that some one cold be better experienced than the other in something and you take from them their points of view and put them in consideration. I know that each has his own beliefs and may find it hard for their ego to accept other opinions easily , but what is the point of debate then?

And if i am totally not convinced by the other's point of view why do we have to hold a debate of low level (If i may call that).


Why should the other side use the aggressive , mocking , sracastic system attitude ? If there is a diagreement , why can't this be held in a civilized manner without trying to use the approach called " Hit and Run " or use the mocking and loud voice so as to feel that they are the dominant party .

Actually people who use this system and attitude are quite weak , don;t have enough couage to stand a conversation , that may be proved to be wrong , or just don;t accept any point of view against theirs.

I'm with you, Roora. I've had people speak to me in the nastiest ways during debates on blogs...I shudder to think that they might speak this way in their real life. It has always been my opinion that those who must insult or desparage who they debate with are not able to make a convincing argument with the facts; their idea hasn't enough merit to stand on its' own, they know it, get nasty, and speak rudely. It's fine to disagree with other ideas and opinion but totally unnecessary to be disrespectful in the process. I enjoy a healthy debate but once it becomes "low-brow" I bow out. There is no graceful way to argue with someone who takes the low road.

Yep Roora, Why can't people have the courage to accept other people's points of view ...or at least respect them... and must they be so aggressive ?!?!?

Jane, it is too bad that people had talked to you in that way ,

so what is their point of debating ? Aggressive attitude always give negative effect on the one infront and makes you unwilling to listen.

Me , i agree with you at least even with

the glorious Quran says :
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord, with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious!"
[Al-Qur’an 16:125]
