I was just wondering what other fellow users of the RHP 'Debate' forum think of having more structured debates on the most heated of current affairs. By structured debate, I mean formal debate, with specified debaters (in teams or on their own), taking up a motion, and arguing it to the best of their abilities, regardless of personal opinion.
I, myself, can't see a better way to insert more factual knowledge into this forum, while eradicating all petty, personal, and, quite frankly, useless comments.

Originally posted by Sambo69I don't know, as I've been accused, wrongly of course 😏, of adding my own trash-talk to the forums. Any thing will do, but trash will be thrown. Ask youself this: How many political commercials actually talk about what the politician proposes to do to improve society?...mostly it is mud-slinging, and voters are left wondering what the issues are...from councilman of a small town to President of the USA...it's ridiculous
What do you think's a good subject for a structured debate and do you think it could be done without people posting "trash" into the thread ?

Originally posted by chancremechanici agree with you ... most of the political circus that makes our countries do what they do, sending their militaries where they go etc, is simply ridiculous mudslinging much like 2 yearolds at child care having fun.

the question in this thread is ... should we try something more accurate? should we actually detach the issue of what the country should do from the politician's vulnerabilities in their careers.
be careful ... this is a very deep blow at the base of democracy ... it proposes government decisions be related to the consequences of the action involved with their decision ... at present the country's actions relate more to the current democratic leader's concerns with the effect of the paparazzi on their lifestyle.
