Why So Angry?

[Violet]

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.

I get convinced when someone gives me logic or evidence I deem satisfactory. This forum is an example of a place where i really do learn something new every day. The religious debates could be beneficial to someone... if only the religious could realize how stupid they are. And people have been been converted, or at least began to ask questions, at this very forum before. I see nothing wrong with them.

As for emotions, they can change in an instant. They are very conditional, and are subject to very rapid changes. However, without them: we become very robotic. And i dislike speaking as a robot would speak, so expect no change from me.
