Lol, you’re missing the point. Most debates between individuals are merely monologues in the presence of a witness. You don’t win a damned thing if the other fellow walks away believing you’re wrong, no matter how right you think you may be. The idea that you’ve somehow “won” is nothing more than narcissism on your part.

Actually, my FRiend, it appears it is you who have missed the point. When I present my position(s) so convincingly (and I do) the other party does not "walk away believing I am wrong". They walk away feeling defeated. I know this to be true because I have been told so many times.

At any rate, I can see you have your strong opinion on this matter and I'm more than happy to accept that you're convinced you're right even though you've never been present during the many dabates in which I've partaken. We do have some lively conversations at Thanksgiving and other gatherings but that's part of being a black conservative and I can live with it.

Cheers.
