Yeah, I know, the thing I grasped very quickly about the net was that people can pretend to be something their not.

Even before I was on-line, we were warned about it, I'm talking back in 1998/9 (can't remember when I first logged on), my I.T. tutor gave us a lecture before sending us onto the internet... If you have real problems its best to keep them to yourselves, that is what I've learned about the net, I once was in a chat with a girl who claimed her boyfriend got killed by a bus. Then a year later when I brought it up, her boyfriend was very much alive and she forgot about telling me porkies. Since most home net was dial up still in the UK at least, you didn't really commit yourself.

Ah debates is not the problem, I LOVE debates. Trouble is, I'm also bored of them. Every time I've come across a topic its always the same thing. The topic ends up pretty much the same. For example, pro-hunting. We go through the pros, the cons... We get a few "acceptable" reasons people hunt and a few "unacceptable" or immoral reasons (sport). The only thing that changes is the morals behind the debater. You can go from someone who is good and logical to someone whose opinions are basically "I love shooting animals 'bang, bang'" (actually, this was a response once I saw in such a topic, maybe not in those words but 'bang, bang' was something I've never forgotten X-D).

The flavour of a subject cannot change unless something causes it to change. This is the problem. :-/
