I enjoy controversy, it means people have different opinions which is always a blissful thing.

Take a positive stance on SOPA and/or that Milatization Act or whatever it's called, and it will be you against hoardes of others.

So yeah, if you like impossible debates, I'd say do that :p

Dear sir, I never said I would abandon my own opinions to merely stir up trouble, for that is unnecessary and wasteful of people's time.

However, when I do have a honest opinion I don't mind if people object. Instead, it merely brightens my day.

You know that the essence of debating as a sport is abandoning your own opinion, right? (well, 50% of the time it is). It's not stirring up trouble at all. I mean, what's the point in having a discussion thread when everyone is on the same side?

That sounds very wrong somehow.

I do not debate as a sport, merely when necessary but I do enjoy it. It sharpens the mind and refines your perspectives.

I would not enjoy the world if everybody had the same opinion. Often you learn a lot from people that have objecting views from yours.

Debating is never neccesary unless it has to do with your job, or when you're doing it as a sport.

Oh, but when you express an opinion, there is always room for debate.

I like to back up my opinions by some kind of logic so when people object I can use my logic to counter theirs.

But enough of that, where are my manners, how are you all faring today?
