I love a good debate. Sometimes I have friends that get mad at me when I automatically contradict their general statement that they just made about something or other.
Over the last 20 years I have notices a horrible decline in healthy debate. Media may be part of this yet I think that it runs deeper. What that is would requires a long discussion with many in different fields and disciplines.
In the media we often see debates that are angry, superficial and finger pointing, rather than rational, empirical evidence based. We have almost accepted this as normal and have not longer adhere to the art of debate. The extreme views of each side I think has tainted this for so many.
In the past few weeks, I have been lucky to find individuals that understand the art of debate. It gives me hope that there are great debaters still out there. check out the following and judge for your self
