Debate is not porn

[lorimt]

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.)

So, if I find both debate and porn highly entertaining am I just wierd? ( though, it may be knee-jerk to all that judging I've done.. damn are bad debaters funny ).

Also, I'm a big fan of having both in the lounge. Well.. given the company of all of the lounge.. but with the right subset of people either ( both! ) sound like all kinds of fun.

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.
