Exclamation

Debate/discussion is for enlightenment and stimulation, advancing an idea and friendship, means of conflict resolution and bringing peace. Intelligence and integrity is sorely desired elements in a discussion or debate; articulation or good senses of humor simply ads the flavor.

Branding or tagging opponents, shouting someone down, hollow threats of unspecified action … defeats the intent and purpose of debate. Historically and logically the wicked party avoids debate and brings in the dirty tricks.

Traditionally, the university is the open forum for a free and fair debate. Even today, the most conservative regimes' liberal forum is the university. However, in the brave new world of world order, globalisation or irrational economic rationalisation; most information outlets including universities are under pressure in many ways. Mighty $ and political brinkmanship found a new technique in the guise of "spin doctors".

Certainly, I would like to be in the first group and if the second group confronts me I don't get angry! Simply I pray and hope for their mental and spiritual improvement.
