Debate is not porn

No matter what someone else may have said, debate is not porn. They may have a few things in common, but just about any two things have at least a few things in common. There is one big difference however. Almost nobody will watch a debate for entertainment. (I happen to be an oddity, in that I watch debates sort of for fun, and wouldn't watch porn, but we all agree I'm not exactly typical.)

Bad debaters are really entertaining. =) And good debaters can be a lot of fun to watch to (not the pissy little high school debaters that think they are the shit, but good college level debate is incredible to watch). Of course, i prefer watching parliamentary for good debates, because then they get to heckle each other... excellent.
