[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1843858, member: 2189"] I was asked why I don't watch the debates. First off, debate comes from the french word debat which means to argue, to dispute, a formal dispute, to deliberate opposing sides. Typically a debate in the formal sense of the term would be 2 opposing sides presenting their views in order to arrive at a conclusion or consensus. What we call debates with 10 or 12 people on stage at the same time is mostly just vomiting sound bites and prepared one liners with a little ad lib added in. If you really want to understand politics and these debates, study old school TV wrestling and I mean the wrestling of the old territory system before Vince McMahon and WWE killed wrestling. Learn what Kayfabe, a shoot, getting heat and working the mark means. Wrestling was Kabuki theater and/or theater in the round that do little more than work human psychology in order to make money. Political debates in reality are nothing less at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
