Because there is a simple rule of debating. stick to the subject. Once your opponent results in name calling and cursing. They have lost all sight of the debate and have nothing left to argue. This is when you sit back and smile knowing they have nothing credible to offer in the debate and have lost. Don't get me wrong I do find some half truths in his blog, he is very fair on a one on one basis "PRIVATELY MESSAGED" but does not tell the world what he relents to when proven incorrect on certain important facts. He is bias as we all are in one form or another. Man though the level of name calling on both sides on his page is crazy. Everyone would have been kicked off here the first five minutes if we discussed matters like that. I found it humorous. Good read to get another view point. Whether or not you agree with him?

And dont get me wrong I can find many other sights that take the opposite view points that are just as hillarious to me.

This is a link to a Facebook page. The rules of debate do not really apply. What subject do you think he should stick to on his Facebook page ? How could you partake in an Oxford style debate on Facebook ?

I find Krugman rather entertaining. As Princeton professors and Nobel laureates go I find his brash opinions both entertaining, and better founded in economic theory than most of what I get on major news channels and their laughable business and economic coverage. Anyone who posts that "There's never a bad time for Princess Bride meme." is OK by me.

Here you can see Krugman debate Ron Paul on Bloomberg TV’s “Street Smart”. A rational debate between different views on government intervention in the economy.

First, the site is not afiliated with Krugman. The creator of the site is just using the photo and stories. Debate formal or informal should always have a standard and it does until one loses sight of the subject matter. Usually from running out of justifications to why they are correct or their opponent is incorrect. Calling names and cursing someone for not agreeing with you shows a person's weakness. Thus formal or informal the person who resorts to calling names loses. Don't get me wrong they may be perfectly correct in what they are arguing just lack the skills to prove it. About what subject do I think they should stick to, The one they are arguing about. Whatever they post is purely up to the owner of the page. When you debate someone IE "argue" you stick to the subject. Otherwise you are dancing around avoiding giving the wrong response. You can always agree to disagree such as many Debates/arguments have ended this way with no winner or loser. It is far better to stand up then throw mud. As to the subject of Ron Paul I keep asking myself how many times does it take to fail before you ralize you have no hope in winning. Washington DC is made up of many ignorant people. Many I say not all. I found humor in all the name calling. That was my point in sharing the site.
