Review: Just Tell Me Why

Justtellmewhy.com is not a site where someone sits in a computer in a coporate office and hires people to answer boring questions, it's a site where people across the internet input their answers for questions. An example being, "The Army is Neccessary", in which people fill out the form below the question and state reasons why they think the army is neccessary. And the opposing, "The Army is Not Neccessary", where... well, it should be rather obvious that they oppose the above and state why.

I came across this site while surfing SocialSpark and decided to have a look see, it's fairly interesing I must say. I don't know that I'd input much myself, I'm not the type for conflict, but it is entertaining to read some of the answers people put. While some of them can be ignorantly stated ("Because you cant drag your desktop with you to the can!" Stated in New Media vs. Traditional Media, my answer to that would be, "No you can't, but you can certaintly bring your laptop with you." ), with ill-thought out reasons, there are others who give completely suitable reasons for why they chose what they did. Some places it's a matter of opinion and on others it's a sort of mini-debate between sides.

Which really, I would only give my opinion. Because I'm no good at debates since I lack the... err, intelligence for well concieved thought. I'm pretty impulsive when I choose things, so if I were surfing on this site I'd be more liable to stick to, "Which is better? Barbie or Bratz?" And rant about how Bratz encourages little girls to grow up into people of questionable character.

I would rant about that but I won't... I will spare you all.

The website also features this nifty little thing on the side, where the topics float around in this little ball thingy and when you hover your mouse over a word it moves around and stuff... I spent a good 15 minutes playing with that. I'm easily amused, silence!

Either way, it's a good site to check out and as it's still in it's birthing stage apparently there are fresh topics just waiting to be answered!

Sorry if my review bores you... D: I'm working on my writing I swear~!

Just tell me why!

Debates does not necessariy equate to conflict. In my opinion, it's a healthy way to stimulate your mind. A passive person will never get what he wants, hence debates are necessary. An assertive person gets what he wants without offending anybody. An aggressive person tries to get what he wants regardless of offending other people. A debate occurs when 2 assertive people meet and argue. A conflict occurs when 2 aggressive people do the same.

Voicing your opinions is a form of debate. It's how most debates are based off on. A debate is essentially a well perceived arguement. I am pretty sure you have engaged in a few over household rules and what not.
