I found a Beautiful Quote!

"Many people believe Chess to be superior to Draughts. Such people show only their ignorance. There is beauty in all games, you don’t have to classify one as being more worthwhile or worse than another. You should just play and enjoy them." - Marcin

I found it in Someone's Profile!

I was on Chess.com once in a checkers v chess thread and someone brushed off checkers with the rhetorical question if one could picture James Bond playing checkers rather than chess in some Casino Royale setting. This individual was likely only familiar with English checkers, but even that 'simple' form of draughts has its subtleties. People seem to have a very superficial view of chess as being more sophisticated and intellectual than draughts, and I often ask myself how many people are only interested in chess to look intelligent, pure posturing.

As somone who plays both draughts and chess, I find both of them fascinating. Now I am rather new to draughts, and have some experience with chess, but I still love both games. It is an opinion which one is better, and mine is that they both are great.
