Dialogue

"Just keep quiet and listen to what we have to say."

"Now that's a win."

"Strawman argument terrorises conversation... News at eleven."

Like Minded

"Be afraid my friends...if the government takes over your healthcare, you're going to be left with nothing!"

Got Rationality?

"How do I know God is not real? For the same reason I know people on TV can't see me."

And now, for a rebuttal.

"I thought you'd take up something like gardening in your retirement, not parkour."

"Listen, that's a Tang Dynasty urn we just broke."

"Afterward, there will be a short Q. and A. that will be just long enough for one person to take up too much of it."

Global warming debate.

Jeremy Corbyn

Nearly a third of the earth's life-forms have gone extinct. Cut! Stop with all the facts. This is debate club! But we're using a cable tv talk show format! What should I say? Unsupported opinions
