Thanks. Always force them to define their terms. That's the true weak point in all of this. The Left has long ago hijacked the very language that we use to frame our debates. It's the first thing we need to take back in these debates. And it's a killer tactic. Takes a forceful and confident debater to pull it off.

Jiminy Crickets, Noumenon, are you a mind-reader? I have used that phrasing (he who defines the terms wins the argument) in personal relationships since college on. :) Since the anti's cannot defend their terms in an intelligent fashion, we can lead the argument to a proper definition.

That is why I use 'lookism' as an argument against the AWB, and believe that the only way to undermine the antis is to use their language against them. Thus 'human right' since that is a buzzword of the UN.

I agree! When you say "that's a lie" it's a show stopper for them, BUT you MUST have your facts and figures ready to back up that salvo!
