    i only ever talk about stuff i (think) i know about.

    theres no way to win, just different opinions.

    Honestly I have to say this is the most retarded advice I've heard. Sooner or later you're gonna get in an argument with someone really well learned and they're gonna know what words you're using and they'll school you on definitions, along with the wiping the floor with your argument. And if you start making up crap they're gonna call your bluff and you'll be in a really embarrassing situation.

    "sprong"- a wiseman of the middle east who trades salt.
    Are you sure you want to call him that?

    98% of people say the best way to win an argument is to use statistics.

    Sure, he had different schooling to us. Everything is alien to them, it makes his argument look ridiculous.

    Especially out of date ones, which may prove your argument right even if you are wrong

    Um. I'm just a name on a message board. My cultural background, whatever it may be, is uknown, and therefor has absolutely no effect on my argument.

    Finally you've said something intelligent.

    To win in an argument you have to at least know more about what you're talking about than whoever you're arguing with. And it also helps if your opinion is held by others, especially if they hold high respectability or are in some sort of seat of authority. It also really helps to be right. More advanced tips call for knowing your opponents argument in and out so you can shoot holes through it. Don't just concentrate on your own opinion.

    So lets all do this sometimes if you are stuck.
    Hell, a lot of people here do that anyway.

    However, the problem with that is that people that DO know what the hell they're talking about--as opposed to people like you, who try to fake it--will realize you're ignorant of the topic and simply ignore everything you say. Proving yourself to be too stupid to competantly debate and forcing the opponent to simply give up isn't a "win".

    I refuse to argue, if I find an opinion invalid I leave it at that. But if something someone says upsets me because they're talking out thier ass "For example, Ron Regan on MSNBC News" i'll just bitch them out and make them feel like crap till they go away.

    Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics yo.
    Even if you win you're still retarded.

    Erm, yeah. Though I'm never in a situation where I do not know what I'm talking about.
