Oh yes you are correct,
I did say exactly that; there were several side trips that the conversation took. You know how it is.
Do I ever.
It took me a long time in my teenager years to admit it, but I'm no good at debating, at least not face-to-face. I get flustered, forget what I'm saying, start mumbling, etc.
I'm a lot better at it on-line though. After the fall of Saddam I got on an on-line debate with some liberals in other parts of the world, and smoked them like it was nothing.
