What do you want me to say.
This is a debate forum. Just as people use banks to manage their finances, they use debate forums to argue. Arguing has a unique form, with different parties (or individuals) producing evidence to show how they are in the right. If you don't produce evidence, then you are not arguing, you are just repeating your feelings.

This is not a place for repeating how you feel. It is a place for argument. Rather than saying you are right, you must demonstrate that what you feel is true is true in fact.

Everyone feels as though the ideas they affirm are true. Your feelings do not make you exceptional, and they cannot be used as a point-of-attack in a debate, because they have no weight ... they can't make any psychological impact.


A moral being is an entity for whom the disadvantage of others is an issue.
