I actually stepped in and ended a debate betwen two people once because they were just trying to win the argument and didn't care what they were saying. They were arguing about which was stupider, rap music or country music.

So I'm sitting here listening to both sides make shit up and say stuff that was just plain wrong, so I said "Listen, this is why politics are so fucked in our country now. No debates that we have are ever about reaching a positive conclusion, it's just about winning. So instead of coming to conclusions such as how we eliminate negative images and lyrics from both rap and country music, or giving them both fair amounts of negative and positive coverage in the media, we just have two people with a bunch of misconceptions who are pissed off at each other."

And you know, for once that actually worked. I'm not real hopeful for messageboards, though.
