Ever gotten into a debate with someone at your work?

[Still-alive]

I refrained from debating this one dude who denies humans are responsible for climate change cause i didn't wanna start anything lol... but yeah i totally would if i didn't work there.

made me wonder have you ever debated someone at work?

Here's where we are currently with Climate Change... hint its not good :/

Yes

No

I Haven't but i would if i really knew the topic well

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Hmmm there's debate and debate...

In the case of climate change, or any other science denial situation, I wouldn't try to debate that at work because I know it's a typical dead-end. I know I'm going to be called a sheep brainwashed by MSM-government-leftists-UFO-whatever.

No, I'll debate a little only if I sense that we're not too far away from each other, ideologically speaking.

As one Russian friend said, it's no use discussing LGBT rights in Russia, it's not the right time, mentalities aren't open enough yet. Well, it's the same with people I meet, if they come from an ideological standpoint where the bridge with me isn't there or has already been burnt then it seems better to abstain.

I avoided it as much as possible. Not likely to change their stance anyway. If anything I'd just state my opinion on the matter and listen to theirs, but not engage in a discourse about it past that.

I've never done that and I wouldn't do.

There's no point in debating with people from where I live. It's a waste of time and energy. Plus, I would be fired.

Yeah. There is this guy who believes the weirdest stuff. I don’t debate, I just question, genuinely entertained. I find that's the best approach.

[Hunter-40m]

When they say something requiring different ideas to interfere with the matter ı just share my opinion and when a response comes I response back in this way the situation naturally turns into debate

[beenherebefore]

I've had discussions but it never turned into a debate. I think that's unnecessary at work.

Yes, several times, there were many ignorant, and/or malicious people at my work.

[najekim]

Work related items, many, many times. Non-work related topics, a few times when I'm actually working in the office and not at home.

I literally work with a Karen.

[Still-alive]

[queenofcardio]

[MisterWack]

At work? No I wouldn’t do that.
