debater should marry a debater?

[missParis]

hey gentlemen n ladies out ther... what do u think about this uh....??
can debater marry a debater...??
y uh...??
let me know ur most brilliant thoughts...!

[eslite]

Debater as in those people who participate in debating competitions or is there a meaning of it I don't know about?

[SunMi]

In my class, there are 2 girls who love to debate when it comes to controversy issues, especially gender-biased. The problem is, it's mere to talk or debate, rather than action. Even themselves are not showing good example to the rest. I don't like the debaters because they only do the talk but hardly do the walk. Isn't it actions speak louder than words? Therefore, we make conclusion that it's better to let a male debater to marry a female debater, so they both can fight 'happily' (in sense that a debater needs apposing statements). :wink:

thanks!! superb opinion...!! ying yang uh... hehehehe... great application

[zulaikha]

ya it should be balanced

but for me it doesn't really matter
coz some debaters only talk and argue a lot during competition
maybe that's not their original character lorr :roll:

there're also some debaters outside that i've met ..
very 'pendiam' or quiet

[carine]

i think debater cant marry with debater
if they were married, then they will be debate or quarel even for a small small matter.
most dabaters want to win....

[Alextakashi]

haha....
then next time before a debater gonna to start a new relationship..they should ask their partner then

Male Debater: Are you a debater as well??
Female Debater: What if I am or I am not??
Male Debater: Because I find you hot and decide to court you?
Female Debater: But does it matter whether I am or I am not?
Male Debater: Ten good reasons why it matters...1...2...3...
Female Debater: POI!POI!(point of information) Object Object... it should be ...1.....2.....3....yada yada..
and the debate goes on....

[Miracle_seed]

If debater marries debater, pity their neighbours, may be new dramas happen everyday......

[Tourist]

Both debater, whos gonna do the talkin and whos gonna do the listening?

IMO, a good debater has to be a good listener in the first place. On the other hand, a poor debater listens poorly.

[nasyrah]

guyz..for me being debaters hav nothin to do in such husband-wife relationship..the family is built based on love, not eagerness to hav debates every day..im happy wit my spouse now although both of us were debaters..cool huh?...in fact we gain knowledge a lot from each other..even non-debaters quarrel alot n even if the parents argue like hell, their child wont end up in hell!!!! :lol:

[jayden]

Whether or not both parties are debaters has nothing to do with the dynamics of the relationship. One side will just have to give in (probably the guy). But both probably need to control their emotions unless they want everyone in the neighborhood to hear them. It would probably be highly entertaining though :)

[sAmurAi-X]

yea...100% Agree....
IMO, it's no harm for a debater to marry another debater...
c'mon, don't be too skeptical.. :D :wink:

[missParis]

hello... thanks for all ur opinons... as i think... being a debater is not onli based on talkin so much or the tendency to argue like a super power....
beyond tht... a debater has always a mature thinking n know how to analyse things well... as if you wanna be a debater, u should also be a good listener n then explain things well.... these are all the good stuffs about the debater...
:roll: :roll:
so, if a debater is married to a debater... it ensures the harmony in their marraige life as both of them are mature n logicali thinking... definiteli they are knowledgable... n in fact they can defend for the rights of themselves...


let say if a debater argue with his wife who is not a debater... definiteli his wife will have to follow e;thg what her hubby says n that husband will be thinkin that he is the king of their kingdom...
so, when a debater marrys a debater, this is make them to respect for each other n ther wont be any spouse controling in their r'ship..... :roll:

[capablanca]

It is all about love. Who cares if they are debaters or not. It might get noisy if they argue but then which marriage don't have arguments. At least debaters don't go physical, do they?

[y]

if debater married debater, wats kind of children they will giv birth later??

hypertalkative ??

[capablanca]

Perhaps very queit because of constant nagging from both parents :lol:

[Salvation]

My my..missParis,

a debater proposed to you? Why do you ask this kind of weird question?

:D

[mae_hemay]

hhmm...
sounds great if a dbt8r marrying a debt8r ..
haha...but as long as they cn hndle their problems..
y not

[missParis]

my my dear salvation....
nice question btw....
it's not that anyone proposed me or what.. just wandering what are the consequences if i hd to accept any of those proposals in future.... hehehhehe... nah, just kidding....

:D

actuali, one of ma debate team mate is in a relationship with a debater... so.... we are tryin to predict what will happen in future btwn those two hypertalkative debaters....
huhuhuhuhhuhu.....

y uh salvation...?? u wan to propose any of the debaters u know uh...? consult us first!!!hehehehehehehehe

[veronin]

wanna tell u all tat there r 3 common types of debaters:
(1)great debaters
(2)ok on the stage but remain sarcastic and mean
(3)poor debaters who only knows how to argue on small matters

if there is 1 debater from (1) gets together with 1 from another 2 groups,it's ok
coz they think wise and response quick enough(if there r troubles)

if both the couples r from the (2) or (3),it will surely be horrible couples who bring disasters to the neighbourhood

if both of them r from (1),it might turn out to be the couple of the century!

[capablanca]

Wow, I don't know you can classified them like that!

[veronin]

tats only the basic types
u can still divide them to smaller groups
if u have seen a lot of debaters like i do,
u can even noe which group they r in by ur 1st glance at their performance

[lawteoh]

this topic is funny... haha.. can a debator marry a debator? can..but beware of arguments and fights in the family later... wakakaka.... But sure their child will became a really great debator.... :P

[vseehua]

offensive debator should marry a defensive debator

[forEVA]

pity the neighbour la.. these people should live in the woods la.. :p

n the kids? run away liao lo.. stay to watch the house collapse meh? lol

[jayden]

But why must we assume that things might get ugly during an argument? Maybe they can be quite civilized :P

[WinnieH]

hey gentlemen n ladies out ther... what do u think about this uh....??

y uh...??
let me know ur most brilliant thoughts...!

debater marry debater? erm, if they're from different gender, i don't see why not?

[mun]

waa...pity on their kids..
it will be a tragic love story..think so..
how come they gonna love each others maa..
keep on arguing wif a small fact..
one in the gov side..one in the oppo side..
never ending love fight~

[youngyew]

I think we might be making too many assumptions here:

1. Debators will argue on the tiniest things.

2. They will hold on to their side until they win.

3. They get ugly when they don't win.


But those are not necessarily true. The key quality of a good debator is not that he or she debates on the tiniest things; it's that they have keen insight on an issue and know the both sides of the argument well. In many cases, a debator can be pedantic, meaning that he or she spends a lot of effort arguing over the literal meaning of the debate title instead of the debate content itself. For example, when the debate title is "money is the root of all evil", people might spend some time just to argue about the interpretation of the word "root" in the question.

In real life, arguments are not like that. When a wife complains to the husband that he snores too loudly, the husband is not going to say "I don't agree with your definition of 'snore'". And in this situation, whether or not this will result in a fight depends totally on their mutual understanding, tolerance and the ability to solve a problem. And those qualities have nothing to do with whether someone is a debator.

yea...but it's ok if they want this marry..
strugle 2 make it remain till last..
TILL DEATH DO US PART ryte..
hahaha

[mun]

pity on every1 if they get marry..

1.theirselves :keep arguing where they gonna celebrate chinese new year,raya or etc..
2.their kids : need 2 own a pair of cotton bud..haha..shut their ears evertimes the debate starts..
3.neighbours : no peaceful surrounding...sound pollution although in midnight..
4.even a penjual sayur kat pasar 2 : if they arguing which vegs 2 buy..


but, debaters r smart person. im sure they f solutions wif their probs.. :P
so, they live happily ever after..

Perhaps, they do not debate in real life, only in competition.

On the contrary, i think that such scenario will unlikely happen in the real ife...that's merely your wild assumptions... :)
agree with youngyew's point of view that there are too many postulations.
don't be too pessimistic... haha..:wink:

[cj6455]

i would like 2 change ppl view towards debater...
y does debater always be linked to o synonym wit aggresive o offensive.....
my definitiion 4 debater is someone who argue a topic wit CIVILISATION......in a polite but confident way.......
so..... 4 me i don see any unsuitable if couples r both debaters!

:D :D :lol: :wink:

[zulaikha]

that's totally true!
coz being a debater doesn't mean he/she is talkative or always argue on stuff
but it's all about the way they think of something
rationally

so if a debater marries a debater, there'll be no harm tho..

[cj6455]

definitely...........
debater should not be DISCRIMINATED at all....

is the debater here refering to those participating in debate competition?
if yes,i have to remind u all tat the loser r certainly more than the winner
altho not every loser r bad debaters,most of them r
bad debaters simply debate on nonsense all the time,even after their time on the stage is over

i m a debater too and have seen a lot of losers
they juz like never agree with any1
and if u have been to jpa,i think tat maybe u have seen some idiots who dominate the interview and dun even give chances to others
they just simply disagree with everything

i have to mention this again:i dun mean tat all debaters r like tat
but nowadays ppl r starting to discriminate the debaters bcoz of these losers
they r like the black sheeps

[cj6455]

veronin.........i partially agree with u that some debater talk nonsense.......it did happen coz i m oso debater once b4............


but not d way u express ur remarks

[veronin]

maybe i m a bit wrong
but there r reli those who spoil the name of debaters
ppl nowadays r more afraid of debaters
they tot that we r some sort of animals who will kill all group discussions/interviews

[youngyew]

Real debators don't argue on silly things, they have keen insights, analytical minds and an intellectual open-mindedness.

If you think that when debators go on stage they obstinately hold the same opinion even in the face of the counter-evidence; then you are wrong. Debators are forced to hold on to one opinion because that's the rule of every debate competition. If you have been to some good debate competitions where they have an "open discussion" after the actual debate, you will see that many debators actually does appreciate the other side's points in real life. Because they are so well-versed in the topics they are debating on, those debators actually have a clearer view on many issues and are not easily swayed by propaganda and are able to form an opinion of their own. They are also able to analyse things rationally, and this actually helps as we have seen many wife / husband who win an argument based on emotional black-mail. :P

I have quite a number of friends who are good debators (in fact a couple of them are closest to me), but I haven't seen any of them arguing nonsense. So I find it really hard to accept the viewpoint that debators argue nonsense and will bicker all day long when two of them come together in a marriage.

[ElansarGelmir]

Aish... Why is there always a negative connotation in the word "debate"? Can't couples flirt through coquettish talks?

Being a debator doesn't necessarily have to do with your personality. One can debate about anything that s/he likes when s/he's on the stage, but s/he might just be an ordinary guy/girl (gah, I hate being politically correct) off-stage. Even if one likes to argue a lot, it's not surprising seeing him/her giving in to his/her love ones. Love changes all things
