Is "debating" in ET's P&R forum a complete and utter waste of time?

its something to do when you are sitting on a position and do not want to watch each tick... or when you are working if you are on hold or waiting for an appt to commence.

plus, if you look things up you can learn things.

Mostly choir preaching to choir. No one listens to the other side.

No, it's not a waste of time.
Fun is never a waste of time.
Now, go out and ride your bicycle or shoot a few hoops and clear your mind.

No, it gives a great insight into the minds of the political extreme.

YOU are the political "extreme".

Less than you might imagine.

Is that why this is yet another one of your one star threads?

How many times have you have to look something up while watching TV ?

And sometimes I've had to actually learn what I pretend to know.

Unfortunately, most of the P&R posters are losing traders and trolls, so no point debating.

Isn't that most of the people on ET?

Trust me, we're all aware, you pretend a LOT.

Looks like this thread has gotten somewhat boring as well.

I thought that's what Redtube is for.
