My point is simple. The gamers are shamed. The debator, Galloway, is given defense from the most intelligent forum I can find. (this one.) Are you defending fallacies? Is winning an audience of 500 people more important than expressing the truth? After all, religion has "won" for years, haven't they? And yet, most on this site would agree religion is inherently evil. Do the ends justify the means? does the win justify giving a stupid argument to stupid people? I get your point about "winning". However, it's not as simple as that for me. We have two options. A: allow it to continue and chalk it up to winning, or B: Shame idiots for being idiots. You've watched the debate, I want your honest opinion of whether Galloway genuinely made a good argument? Like I said, he didn't even get a winning vote from this. So what was the point in being a moron? Perhaps we're speaking two differnent languages of reason here, and that's why I'm pushing my point so hard. By all means, enlighten me.
