Debating an important issue is NEVER a waste of time. On a national Historic scale, I offer as an example the Abe Lincoln and Douglas ( or whomever) debates. Patrick Henry made an important quote in History to sway people toward his side of an issue. Debating is studied and promoted in Universities throughout the US and the world. NOT taking out an argument leads to violence as a way to resolve conflicts. That is what the profession of Marriage Counselor is ALL about. Conclusion......debate is as American as APPLE PIE!
