I cant debate with emotional ppl they usually use personal experience to make they point which is fine but I cant debate personal experience .I dont like debats w/ smartbutts they seem to be only concerned about calling a person a moron or idiot as if that makes their "clever" answer sound "more clever".

Yes. Some people are incapable of staying on track. When someones arguments always start out with "Yeah, but what about....", there's no use in wasting the time trying to debate them.

Once you get to a sufficient level of experience, you can put the rhetorical judo on the smartbutts and shove their little tricks back up their behinds. I'm primarily selective about the subjects that I debate. I prefer good opponents, so long as I believe that I've chosen the side that has the truth in its favor. However, should any smartbutts show up, I can usually kick them right past the goalie.

I enjoy the cut and thrust of debate in the same way as I enjoy playing chess and I'm not selective about who I debate with.

To some extent I am selective. I try to find people who are tolerant and are asking questions instead of simply spewing hatred. I do however like to take a break from seriousness every now and again and will answer just about anything in front of me.

I choose to debate with people who want to debate, not to preach.

I agree with you.
I may be witty at times, but it's just to prove a point I'm trying to make.
