My friend doesn't beleive in people being born LGBP. I tried to explain it to him. We ended up having a really awkward debate about it; to this day, I still don't think he understand very well.

You Cant Pick up chicks in a tank [me Debating]
You can totally pick up chicks in a tank, though it might be easier in the Puma the reds have. :)

OT: If you rock and roll all night and party every day, do you ever have time to sleep?

Me and my friend once had a debate in the middle of History about weather a team of 10 determined velociraptors could down a T-Rex. Yeah, that was a pritty weird debate.
Yes it was. Mostly cause it was obvious fewer than 10 could get that job done.

OT: I once spent an hour debating whether the Doctor from 'Doctor Who' could have stopped Dark Knight's Joker more effectively than Superman could have done it.

When does a knife become a sword?

Many hours of discussion ensued. None of it was sensible.
Never. Swords have sharp edges on both sides. Knives do not.

At least that's how it was explained to me.
What about daggers? And those big saracen swords that curve? There one sided (I think) but are hardly knives. Besides, if swords had to have two sharp edges, then why are some swords specifically called "double-edged"? I think this debate needs reopening...

Every philosophical debate I've ever endured where someone just flat out says something to the tune of "You're wrong i'm right, get used to it."

My maths class once spent a whole lesson discussing whether Jaffa Cakse are cakes or biscuits, & what this would entail.
They are cakes. They had to prove it in court to use the name Jaffa Cakes in the US.
Cakes go hard when they're stale, biscuits go soft.
Jaffa Cakes go hard, and are therefore cakes.
You're welcome. ;)

Legally, they are cakes. This means that they don't have VAT on them. To prove this, McVitie's made a giant Jaffa Cake to show that it was, in fact, a cake.

Oh, damn ninjas.

Playing League of Legends, me and a friend of mine are playing a Co-Op game, and he asks me where dragon is.

I ping where it is.

"That's not Dragon, that's Baron you moron!"
"Dragon is at the bottom, Baron is the big red skull"
He than proceeds to run into, and die to Baron.
"Why didn't you tell me that was Baron?"

Or, same game new match, but I'm playing as Warwick, and learning to jungle. I knew where the creeps are on blue side, but not on purple side. So I asked "Where are blue golems on this side? *pings spot* here?" Before I could get a response.

"OMFG you noob, why did you ping? The enemy can see you, they're gonna gank you now"
"You're an idiot, only our team can see our pings"
"NO! Everyone can see every ping"
"Than why don't we ever see people pinging that we're MIA?"
*He Rage quits*

These might not sound too bad until you realize we are both level 30 in these...

I once had a heated debate with my friends over whether Giles from Buffy would be a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. Due to his Ripper side and willingness to do whatever needed to be done, no matter how much his hands got dirty, I was firmly in the Slytherin camp.

...Yeah. This lasted for a good half-hour.
This is an amazing debate, I must steal this one. For the record, I vote Ravenclaw.

They are a cake. This is the rule: when it goes stale, if it goes hard it is a cake, if it goes soft it is a biscuit.

On multiple occasions, people have tried to convince me that an omnipotent, omniscient being is the lord and master of humankind.

I know, its crazy, but apparently there's a lot of people who believe this shit ;)

Over is correct until you have kids.

OT: Debates with my boss on why the customer isn't always right.
The customer is usually wrong but you just never tell them.
So what do kids do to the over toilet paper?

I'm a member of the Uni debating soc and so I've taken part in some flipping odd debates. I once had to argue for 'this house would expatriate historical treasures from counties in political termoil' (which was, umm... it could have been better), however the worst debate I've done was this:

"This house would legalise beastiality".
And I had to ague for this motion. I kid you not.
But let me tell you, if you say something with enough convition it doesn't matter that you don't believe a work you're saying

Not debating soc odd debates with friends has included some flipping odd stuff, the most persistant debate is where exactly the 'north-south divide' is in the UK. According to Southerners the north is above the Watford gap, most Northerners think the south is below about Kendal, QED anything between Watford and Kendal is the middlands. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's not what they do, it's what they don't do. When there's a huge excess spooled out of the roll, it's easier to slap down on the top of the roll to wind it back up when it's hung underhand, rather than awkwardly spinning it the other way.

I'm having this continuing debate with some I know over whether MLP: FiM or Dora the Explorer is the superior little girl's cartoon, (me being on the side of the Celestian Imperium of course).

And on top of that, I seriously had to argue with him over whether every Phoenix was homosexual, I argued that they obviously weren't because a species can't survive when every member has no desire to reproduce and they're not intelligent to know how (which was countered by a random person that I also know saying "don't Phoenixes live forever though?"). He argued that scientific experiments had been done that show that all Phoenixes are homosexuals, I countered with a demand for him to show this "evidence" of his theory but he gave none.
That was probably the dumbest debate I ever had.
