If you actually have a group of peers that consistently challenge each other and have scholarly debate, congrats. You're in a very small minority. You personally not having a use for arguing online doesn't mean it's useless. I know plenty of Americans who have been convinced that gun control is important by things they've seen online.

Very few people in this thread are kidding around. It's worth pointing out that most of the things they are saying are extremely shallow.
