Why is it?

Question

That people can no longer discuss things in a kind way? I am really disgusted about how people can no longer present their side of an argument without using an ad homamen (mispelled) mistke. Seriously, are there no good debators anymore?

0 Atheists is this really true!?
Is it really true that your version of what would really be God's word would read,

"God will do whatever you want and agree with whatever you want him to agree with. You can do whatever you want, the end."

Common atheists, say it already, "We hate and resent God, cuz he won't do what we want him to."

Weak babies.

Anyone else sick of these kind of pointing and yelling arguments?

Answer 1

Common atheists, say it already, "We hate and resent God, cuz he won't do what we want him to.""

You owe me a new irony meter. You complain about ad hominem, but turn around and pull a sweeping generalization.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you'll agree with me, but it's really a fact that all this is happening because day by day, people are caring less about what God thinks of them; and when people become careless of what their Lord thinks of them, they loose sense of guilt, and they think they can do whatever they want. Take the example of Muslims: When Muhammad (peace be upon him) revived Islam, Muslims had a lot of love for their Lord, so they would hardly do anything that displeased their Creator, and so, they easily won the love of many non-Muslims, which played a vital role in spreading this Religion of Peace through nearly half of the earth in less than a century. But today, even though Islaam is a wonderful religion, its followers are pathetic, and are giving Islaam a bad name.
So, I think it is due to Man's ignorance of the commands of His Creator that he behaves this way. With each passing day, people are losing faith, so they tend to forget that they'll be accountable for their actions. And by the time we approach Judgment Day, people will have committed the most heinous crimes ever committed.

Answer 3

Using someone a member since may might not be the best example. Obviously such as these are quite immature anyway.

I'll get nasty toward someone who starts out nasty; If someone wants to discuss an issue in a civil fashion, I"ll meet them there though.

Answer 4

It is important to have a logically sound stream of reasoning to be a good debater. Being prolific in your language is important too. So, in answer to your question; it is either because of teh above two reasons, or the lack of seriousness; or simply ignorance and refusal to think out things before speaking them out.

Answer 5

I feel u on that. its like u cant get a good debate with out talkin about everything else but the subject

Answer 6

This is not a debate forum. You want to take up a good debate, hit a Buddhist monastery. Calling people unkind names though won't make you too welcome.

Answer 7

Ad hominem (homonym) attacks are made by the ignorant about things they know little or nothing about so they attack the person who knows about it.
They're letting their ignorance hang out. Leave them alone! They make us look smart.

Answer 8

I hear you! The ranting and raving of ugly people is only exagerated by their mis-spelled words.

Answer 9

We can, its just that we dont.
