 Con Like this one help you develop debatability skill as a real world application. Question being is because here you can give a response to a question five hours after its been asked and you have thought it over but in a real argument you only have a few seconds to analyze and remark back to a real world argument.  Pro Doing this helps you learn debate etiquette which can be translated into real world scenarios where your opponent will seem unprofessional and uneducated because you'll know how to debate, while they're just throwing information at you. |

Con If solely having etiquette in a debate were the grounds for winning an argument then the facts presented in your reply to your opponent would mean nothing as long As you said it politely (with etiquette). Pro Another reason that debating on sites such as these is helpful when you enter a real debate is due to the fact that if you have researched the topic at hand in an internet debate, you will know more about the topic than your opponent. You will have encountered many of the arguments they will use, and will know how to refute their claims. Even if you're not able to quickly analyze a remark very quickly, there's a good chance that you will have retained certain information that will enable you to either stall until you can think of something, or crush their weaker points without even thinking. In summary, debating on the internet gives you an intellectual advantage. |
