Never argue with a Russian or a Slavophile. They're the ones who took Marx's stupid jargon and tried to run a country with it. Worse, they convinced themselves that it was wonderful as they suffered. So they will always manage to justify the stupidest actions or decisions if it benefits them or their allies. Heck, they're still trying to pass Milosevic as the second coming of Jesus.

This also applies to sports. Thus, you will never win an argument with them. If the Russians had gone out and stood still for their entire performance, there'd be posters here still stating that they deserved the gold medal.

Liberal tactic: Never bother with debate. It's way too dfficult for those with lower intellect. Just make an outrageous accusation to belittle the opposing view. Maintain your position, you can be sure it's correct. Just ask yourself.

Exactly. Well said. Yesterday they put a split screen with the Russians and Canadians side by side and showed them performing the same jumps - except the Russians blew it on both. The Canadians won that gold medal and it was simply stolen from them by corruptness.
