Welcome to Discussion & Debate
Discussion and Debate™ is a board dedicated to the one unavoidable aspect of internet forums - arguments. Do you have an argument you want settled? Want to bash opponents of your point of view? Just want the answer to an ever-burning question?>It's time to take off the gloves and rev up your rhetoric.
RULES
1.) If you want to debate something, check the catalogue to see if your subject has been posted about already. If it hasn't, feel free to make a new thread.
2.) Keep discussions civil. This is the best way to argue. I won't ban or delete your comments if you shitpost, but if you're not constructive in your arguments and you offer no proof to back your claims up, no one has any reason to take you seriously.
3.) No topic is off limits. Where there's a will (and an opposing will), there's a debate.
4.) If you have any questions, feel free to email me at daniel.n.snipes@gmail.com or post in this thread.
5.) As on every board, the global rules are in effect. Do not post illegal content.
6.) Most importantly, have fun.
WEEKLY DEBATES
Every week, I will post a new debate topic and will advertise the thread to main boards. This is a chance for you to keep in-the-know with debate topics from this board, even if you don't visit it often. All anons are encouraged to engage in the debates, so as to add to the quality of the board and its discussions. If you have an idea for future weekly debates, you can send me an email or post it in this thread.
All the best,
~Lounglie

>TDKR, because bane posting creates communities and fun environments
>horror because the scares you get, either from jump scares of scares that build up through tension can be cleverly constructed to deliver a story that makes you worry even after the movie is over; basically, the movie best carries over into real life.

ANIME DEBATE GENERAL
Anime - is it a blight on the world or a blessing in disguise?I'm going to actually say that certain anime series like Evangelion and Death Note make important critiques of human nature and can be seen as a form or art, while other more immature anime (weeaboo-tier stuff) is just a circlejerk of fandom.

Universal Morals
Are morals universal? If murder is wrong in the US but justified on an island on the other side of the world, who says which moral prevails? Is one "better" than the other, and if so, what criteria defines the quality of a moral?
