@Sapporo Re: Let's agree to disagree

Ah-ha!.... *briskly rubbing hands together*...So, you concede by agreeing to a disagreement, thereby not disagreeing to different degrees of agreements during debates of mutually agreed upon subjects in which participants disagree on varying levels of agreements relating to the debated topic. I agree to the terms of your debatable surrender. All those who agree differently please feel free to express the alternate degree of your agreement so that it may be debated in a non-disagreeable manner at an agreed upon future time in a location not disagreed upon by those who agree differently. Thank you.

I agree in a most disagreeable manner with your post, to the extent that you'll wish to disagree with my agreement, to which we'll have to disagree to agree.

I agree....(but only a little bit).

As Sheldon said, and I shall

As Sheldon said, and I shall reiterate, debates are discussion of opposing views, beliefs, etc.

You cannot have a debate if everyone agreed on the same views, beliefs, etc.

However, like you said, you can if differing degrees of agreement. I guess this is like the what... 32 to 34 thousand different sects in just the Christian faith just here in the United States...

My dad had two favorite things to say about this...

"If I had a head like that, it'd hurt too."

"Here is the cure for that headache," while handing over a sledge hammer, "Take this and smash your foot. You'll forget all about that headache."
