What is Discussion?

[azreal]

Here is what I think is a discussion, and if you have a different view please post them because I would like to know.

A discussion, noun, meaning to express one's opinions intelligently. When needless semantics or insults enter a discussion they are no longer intelligent and therefore become an argument. I try to avoid arguments whenever possible, but they still seem to find me. Anyway, intelligent conversation, a discussion, should be awarded. I like discussion, because we learn that way. We see what other people think and have the chance to reform and strengthen our beliefs. There might not be a changing of opinion, but the person you were having the discussion with now has something to think about.

Am I wrong?

[The Hatter]

No you are most certinly not wrong. I must apologize personaly to you sometime Az. I really am sorry about my outburst lastnight, I was a total ass and didn't think before I spoke.

I think discussion is what the dictionary says discussion is.

dis·cus·sion
n.
Consideration of a subject by a group; an earnest conversation.
A formal discourse on a topic; an exposition.

that is via www.dictionary.com

so umm what does exposition mean? (I honostly dont know..)

ex·po·si·tion
n.
A setting forth of meaning or intent.

A statement or rhetorical discourse intended to give information about or an explanation of difficult material.
The art or technique of composing such discourses.
Music.
The first part of a composition in sonata form that introduces the themes.
The opening section of a fugue.
The part of a play that provides the background information needed to understand the characters and the action.
An act or example of exposing.
A public exhibition or show, as of artistic or industrial developments.

So now that we know most of what is behind it, I can clearly say that Az, your definition is correct (Lmao) but mine looks much prettier cause it was from the dictionary and it's red.

I just want to know:
Is this conversation stemming from the real world events or a questioning of the veracity of the site?

Because from where I'm at I really can't tell.
