Should people debate about topics they aren't educated on?

Question

I see it all the time here in CC...and I just wonder why people are debating about topics they know nothing about.
It would be one thing to ask questions and try to get informed, but that's not what I'm talking about.

So what are your thoughts on people trying to debate topics they know nothing about?

Accepted Answer

What really kills me is when WOC try to explain, educate, converse about topics of racism using to accurate sociology definitions instead of Webster or Goggle definitions, which are incorrect. Ppl become so immensely defensive and ignorant. If, a WOC or POC is educating you on something we experience on greater and larger volumes listen. And when we tell you what most ppl who are not of color experience is racial discrimination, racial prejudice, bigotry, and sexism listen.

The best thing most ppl can do for themselves is really research academic scholarly researched definitions and topics on all things they don't know. It would help both parties in having a reasonable, fulfilling, and positive conversation.

Answer

I don't know how people form such strong opinions without research or even basic knowledge of things. So it at least amuses me to see how contagious ignorance is. 
   
I personally would never be so foolish as to have an opinion without basic knowledge.

Answer

I think people try to debate things on thins they aren't educated on because they actually think they are educated on that subject/topic. That or they are some of the people who just believe anything on the internet.

Sums it up... don't have one for other countries just yet

Answer

I'll often try to say that I know very little on the subject but I can still have an opinion I think. Sometimes my opinion changes when someone corrects me..
However if you're not listening to facts when someone's trying to educate you (I've been guilty of it) then maybe you shouldn't be posting about it (I've also deleted things because I realized I was completely wrong)

But sometimes people stumble upon the wrong facts and get educated in the wrong way 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Those ppl are annoying and then have the nerve to be aggressive. Reading is fundamental man.

Answer

My favorite is when someone tells me I'm a "special kind of stupid" when I'm literally speaking on a subject in which I have a degree. Apparently if you're uneducated on a topic and have an opinion based on incorrect information, that makes me stupid somehow 😂
