Hey gang, go check out this site:

Convinceme.net

It is a debating site, and I could use some serious Freeper help on many issues over there. It seems to be infested with Dummies.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat; History; Military/Veterans; Miscellaneous
KEYWORDS: debate

Why argue with DUmmies? It reminds me of an old saying... Never give a pig a bath, it accomplishes nothing but pissing the pig off.

If I’m going to debate, I’ll do it here, among FRiends.

The only real reason to debate with someone who cannot be persuaded is if a third-party who CAN be persuaded is watching.

There is one secondary reason, which is that it provides a gymnasium in which to hone your skills, so that when you DO debate for the benefit of a third-party, you will have a better chance of winning that person over to your side.

“It seems to be infested with Dummies.”

Find a site where anyone can post and it will be infected by DUmmies. They have nothing else to do.

LOL, You got that right. And I agree it makes no sense to debate them, but seems to have a therapeutic effect on me.

One thing I've noticed is their tendency to constantly rail against Fox News. It's a bizarre fixation with these numbskulls.
