Another post will appear and the fun will resume, until the mods make their judgement to lock it.
For those who state, "well what is the use, you won't change my opinion", debates are not only for the two or few involved. There are others who are watching any debate and the discourse of ideas influence those who may be sitting on a fence or have an idea but don't really know why. The presentation of ideas has a greater effect on them.
Also, a true thinker should always take the views of the opponent and dissect them for their validity. Some opinions are so blatantly wrong, that this takes nanoseconds, while others may take some time, while some opinions may be truthful, which forces one to reconsider his/her side. No one is omniscient.
