Thank you for mentioning that Joey.
I have noticed a couple of people who have done just that, and have started to ask them to post their reasoning behind their comment of "I agree" etc.
The debates section is to have debates. If you agree with someone, then at least state why you agree with them. Likewise, the same applies if you disagree.
Also, to point out, there is no bad feelings against anyone who voices an opinion that differs from the majority. This is the whole point of a debate.
Yes, we may come back with a counter arguement, but this is not a retalliation, but more of trying to prove our own thoughts and opinions. You then get the chance to either come back with your side of the debate again, should you so wish.
If you do not know much about the debate in process, then you can either read up on that topic, and then join in, or, to put it bluntly, stay out of it.
I know that I would prefer to have an adult debate/discussion regarding the important topics which surround us, and for most of the time, I am getting that, and I find it quite intellectually stimulating. This is ruined when people do not put across their own personal views and opinions.
Anyway, little rant over.
