I thought the idea of arguing and debating was so that you could find the right answer to complex questions. When I was assigned the "PRO" position on an issue I was against. I asked my teacher, how I could argue for something I was really against. He said "In a debate you don't need to believe in the position. You just want to win the debate." I thought, that is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard. I have felt the same about every debate I have ever seen. No wonder the world is such a mess. People making arguments they don't believe just to win a debate. Instead of just being honest about the problem and the solution. Is it any wonder that big problems never get solved, using such a stupid method to inform the population about issues.
Stefan, glad you are having fun but I could only take 30 min of this. If I wanted to listen to people cut off halfway through their answer and circular arguments I would go watch MSNBC.
I hope you have Michael on again in your normal format, would love to hear more of him.
