Not intended to offend you personally, but then why debate/argue to begin with? Logically speaking, if someone wishes to debate and argue, then obviously it is in regards to something that strikes deep in their being and they have no choice but to be passionate about it. That passion is kind of the whole impetus for it, do you see what I mean?
For instance, I could give shit about gay marriage, therefore you will never see me try to argue or debate my viewpoint, because I have apathy enough to lack one. But a subject like casual abortion I am extremely passionate about, I'm pro-life, so obviously I am going to be able and willing to debate.
Long story short, it is the passion that drives any good argument or debate. Even (and maybe especially) those so volatile that the only thing one is left with in the form of words is a "fuck you".
