I started one as a kid. Me and my brother were in a debate, and we were arguing over whether or not it was possible to completely eradicate every single ant on the face of the earth while keeping the earth and human population intact.

I was on the side of the ants would never be destroyed completely.

Go ants! :eek:

I would consider them stupid but that debate is you fighting the good fight.

I had a serious debate (turned responses) about crapping.. ;o
 
I remember when I was like 10 I bet this guy in my class that the title of this short story in a book he owned was Wonder Underpants and he said it was Wonderpants. I still owe him $2. Actually I ran into him just the other week :p

I had a argument with this guy about whether anything was possible until proven impossible. He came up with all these irrational things like whether Crash Bandicoot could magically appear out of thin air, and when he didn't (of course), I would say "yes, but it's still possible" :E
 
Hmm, I've argued with someone once over whether or not this actor had a beard in a specific movie.

That was pretty pointless.

Though I was right. :)
 
I was at a party and 2 guys where debating the taste of sperm (yes they where homosexual), then in mid discussion they turned and asked me my opinion...what followed was a long more or less angry discussion, wether or not i was a homophobic. Which im not, i just dont want to taste sperm.
Pretty pointless discussion in my book.
 
I argued with my friend for almost 2 hours about the top speed of a M1 Abrams
 
This is a fun thread, lets keep it going.

LoL, they called you homophobic for not wanting to taste sperm to base an opinion on? geez!

yes .............. they where very angry...
 
You should have called them homophobephobes.
 
Trying to argue with someone who had admitted their side of the argument was not logical.

It was hell.
 
I had two really stupid debates yesterday.

One of them was convincing a guy that the internet is "real", and not some alternative reality with nonexistant people who you can treat however you want.

The second one was trying to convince a fanboy not to judge games before they're released.

I'm not that much for debates but it's actually pretty fun, and I did won the second one. Go me! :D
 
For anyone who has some knowledge of Medieval History I was in a debate with some Turkish guy who was adamant that the Turks defeated the upwards of 2 million crusaders when in fact there was only about 30,000 crusaders and they won and conquered Jerusalem. I have never encountered flag waving to extremes like that in all my life.
 
I convinced somebody that he was being followed by cameras like in the Truman show. Note, this was after a long jog, being tired and he hadn't slept for a long time ( we both hadn't)
 
Trying to persuade about ten people that if you put a pork pie in the mircrowave and heated it up the jelly melted
 
An ongoing debate with a friend if I have ever seen the movie "Showtime". I haven't. He says otherwise.
 
Some of the ones posted about bush vs kerry or about gay marrage/sex, would have to be the ones filled with alot of crap.
 
"Who took the cookies from the cookie jar?"

:hmph:
 
"What are some of the stupidest debates you've been in?"

name any debate thread on Hl2.net
 
I'll answer for two people here--

CptStern: What are some of the stupidest debates I've ever been in? Anything with Kerberos.

:cheers:

Sorry, had to say it for yah m8.

Me: Stupidest debate? Like a real, serious debate...about something stupid?

Wether or not I was gay.
 
Right after watching the Matrix reloaded I had a 30 minute debate about what those all white ghost like badguys actually were. You can't get much geekier than that. :burp:

When I was younger, I said that the fillings dentists put in your teeth had mercury in them. Three of my friends thought that was the stupidest thing in the world for a few days. Then in science class they found out I was right. :D
 
I debated with my swedish friend for a good 20 minutes about whether goua(yes, the cheese) is really the most basic particle or not. went pretty in depth...
 
Hmmm...my friend and I have alot of "Sienfield" debates. Actually, their resemblence almost scares me!

i.e. discussed whether their was a nuclear bomb that could blow up the entire world. (when we were 10) let me remind you that it lasted an ENTIRE DAY!!!

Last week at lunch about 6 of us were arguing about pokemon, like which one was the best and other stupid things I can't remember, but we were all very serious about the whole conversation until we realised we were discussing pokemon.

Back in high school Pokemon was very serious business. I remember to pass the time in woodwork a friend and I would take turns naming Pokemon until we ran out (this was back in the days of the original 150). As if we hadn't alienated ourselves enough :E

Oh yeah, and the DBZ trivia could go on for days...
 
Hmmmm, dumbest debate I ever engaged in has to likely be the, "Which are better: Brunettes, blondes, auburns, other?" After flogging names and faces of hot babes and ladies at each other, we eventually came to the conclusion it's based on personal preferences. I don't know what I was thinking lol. Choose your battles wisely, I suppose.
 
Hmmmm...Mine would have to be trying to prove my brother wrong on what he ate at Taco Bell one day.
