Discussing philosophy is therefore when two unprovable opinions collide and becomes an exercise in mental masturbation as no one can really prevail no matter how absurd the others position. It can be amusing though when one can at least, from a argumentative position, show how ridiculous another's philosophy seems, but they will still believe in the cosmic zombie when its over.

Its even more fun when one persons limitations in knowledge and intelligence create a philosophy that is directly disprovable by someone with superior education and intelligence. In these cases, the 'loser' will normally take their ball and go home. At times though, you will get someone who thinks they are in the superior position, when in fact they are just not worth talking to and those people will therefore think they won the argument, when in fact you just stopped wasting time.

As you can see philosophy is more fun than a barrel of space monkeys.
