Prefaces every debate point or counter argument with “I feel…” instead of actual facts or logic

Everyone feels. I’m saying those who swear they use facts and logic usually just have fragile feelings.

Yes but in a debate you use facts, stats, and logic. Not feelings

You are never not using feelings though. They’re part of our survival instincts. The point of a debate is to persuade someone. Pathos (appealing to emotion) is one of the methods of persuasion.

Fair but it shouldn’t be the entire thing that a person does. Which is what typically happens

What? Human beings use what makes them human to try changing each other’s minds about human issues? That’s so childish.

Debates have to have some facts and statistics otherwise there isn’t really a point

Oh yeah I know that. My point is that guys who act like they’re above using emotion and flex their use of facts and logic are usually just crybabies in denial.

Oh no definitely not saying that! I’m saying you can’t use only feelings
