I've read quite a number of debates in this forum and, though they are excellent debates, I notice some people getting worked up. Either that or swearing gets induced 
I'm just wondering why that is?
I mean if you think about it, you get yourself involved in a debate you should know very well isn't going to go anywhere, religious debates never do go anywhere and never will, and nobody is going to convince anyone, yet we still get so worked up.
I just think we ought to keep our emotions and words in check. I think even though the debate is rational, throwing in cuss words here and there really kills the maturity. It's a sad fact of society I suppose.
