La la la la la ...
Fall down the rabbit hole with me! :D My furs, let's take a moment to give ourselves a round of applause. No really, go ahead! Clap for yourself, you beautiful, sexy fuzzbutt :D Clap some more. I DON'T HEAR YOU FUCKING CLAPPING BIATCH. PUT THOSE PAWS TOGETHER DAMMIT. FASTER! HARDER! CLAP LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, well, now that's better isn't it? :3 Jeez, you'd think I was trying to pull teeth or something. See, we're all a bunch of heroes. We've shown society that yes indeed, you can be whatever the fuck you want to be. If I want to be furry, then dammit, I'm fucking furry. If I want to be a Rock Biter, then give me all the limestone you can find (if you get this, I love you so much more than I did before). If I want to be the world's first furry who can morph into a snail impregnating a black hole whenever I want, then forget quantum physics and don't piss me off ;)
Alright, my psychosis is abated for now :D
JFK
Oh, that means Just Fucking Kidding
In case you wanted to know
:D
I'm going to ask you some complicated, philosophical questions now. Be a good fur and find your popcorn if you're not going to participate :3 You guys are so cuddly!
1. What is the general purpose of a debate? Not an argument (the connotation being negative and emotionally fueled), a debate. In other words, what do you seek to gain from a debate? Do you aim to change the opinion of your opponent, do you seek to understand your opponent or their stance, do you simply wish to gather information about your opponent or their stance, or something else?
2. No matter the topic, can you truly debate without letting your emotions get in the way? In other words, can you avoid insults, patronizations, insinuations about your opponent's person, etc., and simply debate the subject? If not, at what points, generally speaking, do your emotions play into the debate?
3. Do you believe it is possible to win a debate? If so, what conditions would have to exist for a win to occur? If not, why not? Either way, is a win or loss important?
4. Are debates good? Are they healthy to have? Are they necessary? Or are they bad? Unhealthy? Unnecessary? Why?
So here, I am asking you to really analyze the big, interesting, lively DEBATE. It happens all the time, mostly as arguments, but every argument begins as a debate. So, ever really thought about the power debate has? These questions might help :)
There's a reason for my questionnaire of course. Mostly I'm curious to see how you smart cutie pie furs will work your brains and spew intelligence onto this journal's face-hole :D
My next journal will be my answers to these questions, and probably more psychosis :D
Pssst! Your butt is showing
xD

2. If we are saying in general, no matter what the topic is, I think it is impossible to keep your emotions out of it. Though, honestly, I think that it really does depend on the subject matter. I know that for myself, if it something I am really passionate about, then it is going to be tough to be unbiased and also to not let my emotions get the better of me. It just happens. Most things, though I can usually keep feelings out of it.
3. Yes it is possible to win a debate, but that all depends on what you would consider winning. To me, winning a debate is when I can get someone to realize, acknowledge, and understand the other standpoint. I don't generally aim to change people's mind, so this to me, is winning.
4. I feel like debates are good, healthy, and could be necessary, though I'm not entirely sure where I stand on that one. Debates are good, because they help educate people to the other side of what they believe in or feel strongly for. They are healthy because if you are truly getting into a heated debate, chances are you are working your brain to try to "win."
2. Agreed again :D
3. I like this, it's a very mature answer :D
4. This was the oddball question in my opinion lol, but again I agree :3
Posting a journal on this shortly as promised :D
