lol I think POLARIS is a god of comebacks

 

I think you should get out more.

 

Debates like these are usually interesting when they occur, especially if you play along. Provides for a good topic to talk about, instead of having to not have a topic to talk about.

I find it frustrating, to say the least. Especially when people get on the subject of evolution. People just can't seem to get it around their heads that evolution is a FACT. It is scientifically proven, and it can be tested. But when they hear that there's a "Theory of Evolution", they take that to mean that evolution hasn't been proven. When I try to explain to them that a theory in science is different from a theory in everyday life, they just ignore me. Listen up, bozos, a theory in science is an explanation, a "why", if you will. The Theory of Evolution explains why and how evolution the scientific fact works. It is not claiming that evolution is not a scientific fact.

 

Wow, didn't mean to rant like that. ^_^;

And with that POLARIS' date=' I'll step down and admit defeat. Due to my current inability to think of many decent comebacks to what you have said, I won't continue. You have proven that it's impossible to prove someone wrong when you don't have concrete proof to back up your side.

 

Sorry if you were expecting more.

I'm more disappointed in you. You missed out key info in your first reply, otherwise you 2 would have been on equal ground.

 

And umm... I've been known to do this. But not often *doom and gloom*

Some debates get really stupid.

Recent example, at a Varsity debate tournament, we were debating a Bill that would require the donation of bonuses to the federal government from CEOs of companies receiving TARP funds, and some people kept saying it was unconstitutional, that it violated Ex Post Facto. They also stated that it would require that companies break their contracts with their CEOs, which is illegal.

Both of these are inherently false.

For the first, it is not the punishment for a crime, but merely control over the appropriation of government funds within a private entity, for which there is already a precedent, seen by control of appropriations from federal grants.

For the second, the definition of a bonus is a payment that is not specifically enumerated within an individual's contract, so limiting bonuses would not require the breaking of contracts, as the only thing being limited does not exist in contracts, by definition.

No matter how many times I said either of these points, they continued to repeat that the Bill violated the Constitution.

I was so pissed at the end of the debate.

So' date=' basically, my friend still believes that "simony" means "sodomy". I showed him the Wikipedia page for simony and his response was, "Dude. f*** that. Anyone can edit Wikipedia. You can't trust that s***."

His response would probably be, "funk that. That site is run by know-nothing Nazis."

Dark does not debate with people despite being 100% wrong.

HORUS does not debate with people despite being 100% wrong.

 

To be quite honest, these are the two most hated people on YCM...

 

Scratch that.

 

If it's not Dark (which it's not), and it's not HORUS (which it's not), there are only three people left it could possibly be:

 

~ Prince Hunter

~ Icyblue

~ kitty princess

This thread lacks Bloodrun.

 

Lmao' date=' you knew it. ;)

It was so obvious. You argue with him like it's your job. xD And his debates are usually ridiculous.

 

The point of an argument is to get the opposing force to say they quit/fluster them to the point they can no longer defend their point efficiently/try to put your opponent off his/her game, by any means possible.

 

Your welcome ;), besides, all my arguments, I did them for fun. Can't you say the same?

The only problem is that you never win, you just make us want to kick your head into your neck.

Keep Kitty's Name out of this I don't debate period.

And as far as being hated, I don't give a crap, I didn't join this site to have everybody like me. I could really careless. I am a semi misanthropic person anyway. =/
