I made my statement, people had an opportunity to disagree, to which I responded with my reasoning in later posts.

I'd say that that is a debate.

Try your technique in speakers corner....see how it goes down there.

"I don't read the Koran, everyone who uses it is a loser"

I read about this a few weeks ago just as i had read it the misses comes in to say her laptops gone a bit funny then says she had a msg on facebook with a link to youtube and yes it asked her to download the latest vesion on which she did so i took it off line and did a full reboot on it and told her never do anything like that again. now she runs everthing like that past me first

I was mocking a social networking site. Not someones religious beliefs. Big difference.

I'm not entirely sure you can grasp the commonly used debate format and technique I was using. Perhaps you should try yours on the Viz's readers' letters page, I'm sure it'll fit in well there.

eClaire

Unfotunately my mate isn't as computer savvy as you or I. God knows what will have happened while I've been away for the weekend

Dedrater

Not quite, you branded everyone that uses it a "Loser" the religious remark was an analogy to help you understand.

got this from my cousin around 4 months ago

the whole thing, with the updated download needed and everything, but got suspicious and killed everything.

ended up spending a few hours running every virus and spam checking program i had while under safe mode so i saved myself, i then warned the missus not to bother if anybody sent it to her.

This is getting tough as I am not sure you really know what a debate is.

Argument....you've got that nailed [default quality of the female]

A debate usually has some "facts" to back up a [sweeping] statement.

Can you imagine the houses of commons using your debating technique, "All those who vote labour are stupid".

Facebook, I never saw the point. It's mainly for 'social climbing (networking is the same in this context imo), I want to be loved and known by everyone, even if they're only a friend of a friend, of a friend I've never met in my life' types.

A fair few peripheral acquaintances I know tried to get me to join, mainly as they said to get their 'friend count' up a bit


Oh yea, and I'm now somehow your m8, and guess what, strangely I'm somehow not signed up to this because you can only have so many 'real' m8's

When quizzed they say they use it to keep in touch with all the people they meet, here and abroad, even though they never seem to move out their bedroom.

New SN disclaimer: all is IMHO and contains no debatable facts

But then I'm a wee bit over 18 and out of it anyway

I understand perfectly whats being said. Was there really any need to bring an analogy into it? I think trying to compare the two in this instance is a bit foolish, given my opinions and reasons for debate for/against islam are very different from those of facebook. Debates concerning religion shouldn't be taken lightly and brash comments shouldn't be made to prevent offending peoples beliefs and way of life. Facebook is an internet networking site. Again, I can't see how you can compare the two.

Debate = one states their position on a matter or issue and then defend themself. That is clearly what I've done here. Content of the initial argument doesn't matter. I could have a green sock here and tell you it was blue. If you believed it was green then we would both give our reasoning.

Mobwars and Poker, the only reason I even bother logging into FB.
If your stupid enough to click one of those links you deserve a virus, perhaps even a genital kind.

I'm on facebook.

I have almost 100 friend requests....all ignored

I don't think I quite grasped the intended concept of that website

Honestly though I cannot think of a worst site you could have to put personal contact and CC details on. People who do, are quite honestly, stupid.

eClaire

you goon!

I've put it in laymans terms for you. Facebook is, in my opinion, of less importance to society as socks. Just admit you're wrong and let it be over and done with already.

Jye

I'd say he fancies you eClaire and wants you as his special Scottish friend

davyboy

Yeah, I'll admit you won that little tet a tet, skillfully manoevering me in to a corner until I had little response

Jye

He does fancy you

eClaire

Do you want one of my pigtails to tug on?

The Dogs B******s

That wont be the only thing he'll be tugging on

ScoobyWon't

I hate all the competition. Claire's my special spethal Scottish friend

How did the court case go last week? Did you get away with it? I did mean to put in a good word for you

Oh, and I've had that thing removed a couple of weeks ago

This crap has been going on since facebook STARTED

There is no gheyer site online for equally ghey members.

Debate that, Davyboy.

davyboy

..lack of facts!

Spoon

What more do you want than a bunch of gheyers inviting total strangers to be friends just so they look popular.

Next you'll be telling me you've bought a pink pair of Alpine Stars.
