Debates are almost always personal snapshots of how you see the world around you. They are made up of people (usually more than 1) sitting together and discussing the good, the bad and the common ground between different points of view. While it is true we can't agree on everything, agreeing to even disagree is better than failing to understand the need to become communal as a social being. That is why respect exists, so that civility can come from people tired of violence through action as a successful legacy building initiative moving forward.
