mass for the undead
Oct. 12th, 2005 11:42 pmI think I know why it is I don't quite like debating. (Or at least, Canadian University style.) I couldn't put my finger on it before, although I knew it was something like this. Aha.
There's too much waving and bashing about of morals and ideals, all too-in-your-face like. (It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye from 'it will hurt the healthcare system!') An-nd the importance of the arguments are lost. Which may seem like an odd thing to say, but yeah. You're taking sometimes sensitive topics and beating them about to death, but it doesn't actually do anything. Which I know, the point of (University) debating is not to actually do something. But still. And as fun as it is saying 'I'm right because my morals are, well, moral and yours kind of suck for these blatantly obvious reasons...' it's all B.S. in the end. Ah the art of having a heated argument while never saying anything at all - it's all smoke and mirrors. Politics, I salute you.

In other news, procrastination knows no bounds. Have some Henry fic. (Imo, Sally).

( How do you like your meat? )
I am a vegetarian, I swear. And no I don't sneak steaks on the sly.
