I just got your shout.  I'm glad you read that thread.  Your Wal-Mart debate was actually a good one.  You changed "discontinued", which sounded silly, to shut down.  That was okay.  You could have also said "boycotted".  Your explanation could have been more specific.  Communities have prevented Wal-Mart from opening.  Wal-Mart has driven out local businesses.  Wal-Mart exploits wokers in foreign countirs.  Phreekshow and amore01 do a good job presenting debates.  Look at some of theirs.  I've haven't posted that many,  but you could check those out too.  I think my debate about Clinton's impeachment being over the top was fairly well-stated.  I'm just trying to make the debate forum more about actual argument and crtical thinking than about questions and opinions.  Anything else I can do to help, just ask.

Before I try to explain debates, please do something for both of us.  Go to the Blurtit Podcast group and read amore01's, and my entry in the first podcast thread.  Also go to The Blurtit Suggestion Box Group, and read my entries in the "To Debate or nor to Debate" thread.  See if reading those things help.  Then get back to me, and I'll answer any questions you have. 

Hi there! I saw your comment in debate about foregin languages and thought you might be interested in this group: Learn Languages Welcome to Blurtit! :)
