Because you know what your opponent will say before they say it, and you know the perfect counter to it. And it's not, it's me believing one thing and BEING ABLE to argue against it and win.

OK, I see how playing the other side will help you, but no politician will go on national TV and say... "I was lying about everything. I am the exact opposite of what I said I am."

No, but they should be able to counter anything and everything regardless of belief. You don't know anything about debate. Please stop trying to pretend you do. Come back with five first place medals, and then we'll talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come back with five first place medals, and then we'll talk. So if someone agrees with you, let us say your opponent, you have to go against your own beliefs? And what if your beliefs are right? Dude, get a new logic book, yours is outdated. That is all I have to say on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a competitive environment, the person to best present and represent their case while backing it with facts will win. This means that if you are assigned a side of a topic you don't agree with, YOU MUST BE ABLE TO ARGUE FOR IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
