What about daggers? And those big saracen swords that curve? There one sided (I think) but are hardly knives. Besides, if swords had to have two sharp edges, then why are some swords specifically called "double-edged"? I think this debate needs reopening...C.S.Strowbridge said:

Every philosophical debate I've ever endured where someone just flat out says something to the tune of "You're wrong i'm right, get used to it."

Jaffa Cakes go hard, and are therefore cakes.

Playing League of Legends, me and a friend of mine are playing a Co-Op game, and he asks me where dragon is.
I ping where it is.
"That's not Dragon, that's Baron you moron!"
"Dragon is at the bottom, Baron is the big red skull"
He than proceeds to run into, and die to Baron.
"Why didn't you tell me that was Baron?"
Or, same game new match, but I'm playing as Warwick, and learning to jungle. I knew where the creeps are on blue side, but not on purple side. So I asked "Where are blue golems on this side? *pings spot* here?" Before I could get a response.
"OMFG you noob, why did you ping? The enemy can see you, they're gonna gank you now"
"You're an idiot, only our team can see our pings"
"NO! Everyone can see every ping"
"Than why don't we ever see people pinging that we're MIA?"
*He Rage quits*
These might not sound too bad until you realize we are both level 30 in these...

My friend and i were arguing over who would win, Pyramid Head, or the Nemisis Tyrant from RE3, he was doing pretty good, then i called him a Communist-Nazi and his head exploded, I won
I'm a member of the Uni debating soc and so I've taken part in some flipping odd debates. I once had to argue for 'this house would expatriate historical treasures from counties in political termoil' (which was, umm... it could have been better), however the worst debate I've done was this:
Not debating soc odd debates with friends has included some flipping odd stuff, the most persistant debate is where exactly the 'north-south divide' is in the UK. According to Southerners the north is above the Watford gap, most Northerners think the south is below about Kendal, QED anything between Watford and Kendal is the middlands. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
"This house would legalise beastiality".
And I had to ague for this motion. I kid you not.
But let me tell you, if you say something with enough convition it doesn't matter that you don't believe a work you're saying

It's not what they do, it's what they don't do. When there's a huge excess spooled out of the roll, it's easier to slap down on the top of the roll to wind it back up when it's hung underhand, rather than awkwardly spinning it the other way.ezeroast said:
I'm having this continuing debate with some I know over whether MLP: FiM or Dora the Explorer is the superior little girl's cartoon, (me being on the side of the Celestian Imperium of course).
And on top of that, I seriously had to argue with him over whether every Phoenix was homosexual, I argued that they obviously weren't because a species can't survive when every member has no desire to reproduce and they're not intelligent to know how (which was countered by a random person that I also know saying "don't Phoenixes live forever though?"). He argued that scientific experiments had been done that show that all Phoenixes are homosexuals, I countered with a demand for him to show this "evidence" of his theory but he gave none.
That was probably the dumbest debate I ever had.

OT: Also on the topic of DnD, I've had debates with my brother who is a player. He is playing a Lawful Neutral Monk Chaotic Neutral. I was telling him that he cannot "Lewt teh bodies" without giving respects to the dead, because his character is a follower of Kelemvor.
I've also gotten into debates about at what point bread becomes toast in the toster. That's 2 hours of my life I will never have back.
Thats what turned me off Uni debating societies...arguing for positions i didn't believe in, and by the sound of things you've ended up defending some pretty absurd stuff.LostTimeLady said:
The N/S divide often comes up in general debate at my uni in Lancaster, and tbh i would agree with drawing the line at Watford Gap and i'm a northerner, coming from near Liverpool. Don't know who got the idea of the south being below Kendal, because that would put Liverpool, Manchester, Lancaster, Bolton, Leeds, Bradford, Grimsby and Hull not in the "north", which is pretty absurd given that they are some of the culturally "northern" English cities around.
