I'm not sure if this belongs in debate or general discussion, so a mod can move it if you want... but this is a discussion about debates. Namely, which debates do you guys find most annoying to hear and why? I'll get the ball rolling:
Does god exist-- these are the most annoying things ever. They generally consist of someone starting it saying one thing or another, then somebody else comes in and dissents, and they disagree on factual evidence and both use half thought-out logic. The best part is how neither side will ever be convinced, ever, though, so it basically devolves into a flamefest all around that generally raises one's blood pressure. Definitely the most annoying.
Anything involving DOTA-- unique to these forums, but these are also huge flame-fests. I'm not sure about anyone else, but every time I've seen a thread about DotA, I've always had this vague feeling in my stomach of "uh oh, there's going to be trouble." Basically people are arguing their subjective tastes that are correct to them, yet they feel the need to be pushy. And this is both ways.
Evolution vs. Creationism- similar to the does God exist debate... I won't go into details as then I'd reveal my own biases, but rest assured these never seem to end well either.
Feel free to post rants about debates you generally find dislikable, or examples of individual debates! Feel free to use quotes if you want! Go at it helperites!
