Why I win arguing with Viviane:-
a) she is arguing with an idiot.
b) I then try to reduce her to my level, and win with exsperience.

recently i have just started looking into what buddhism is all about.
i rather like the idea of a personal spirituality.
of trying to be a better person and an acceptance of the reality of life and trying to find an inner peace and contentment.. anyway, i came across this today.
Great post.
The Buddah " Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it, no matter if I said it, unless it agrees with your own common sence"
Sadly many buddists don't follow that advice and like the G.B many expect you to follow there version of buddisam.
I would definitely reccomend you examine the 6 noble truths, it's a great way to be at peace and content.

Sounds to me you like to do your debating home alone fukitol:-)

a vomit inducing comment.. i asked why do they have to specify 'meetings'?
they never miss us in tesco or the showcase cinema bar.. in their defence, a friend of mine said: 'that's because the meeting is where they normally would see you.'.
well, if they want to see you they can arrange a meal out or something.
Not only have I had the " we have missed you at the meetings" I have received a loving letter in the post, the contents of which did not ask, but assumied that I would meet with the elders at the K.H.
My advice is once you stop going to meetings stay away. Because if you do go back you put yourself on the elders radar, and a guaranteed invitation to a rather unpleasant meeting ( interogation) to discuss your faith in Jehovers organisation.

every flea market i go to a group of idiots sits under a tent top with a few mags on display with a cup of coffee playing on a phone with as much interest in pushing the cult as a teenage girl at the check out line has in bagging your groceries.
when i was in the cult we had to work for our time.
now its like sitting at the coffee shop bsing with the other cult idiots counting time for your pioneer status.
What a wasted opportunity.
if they were serious about preaching at these flea markets,they would offer free seating,free coffee & cakes and they would strike up conversations. In my opinion outsiders are seen as " not one of us" and not even worthy of small talk.

The Rebels advice on how to win a debate on this board:-
a) Claim to have a P.H.D in the area of debate.
b) When you loose the debate, claim to be the winner regardless.
Seriously there have been some great debates here.

Has anyone followed a thread on this broad, in which an argument has been won by someone admitting they were wrong?
Anyway maybe if arguments are not won, people go away think about it later, and maybe change their mind a bit.
Talking about maybe, is it conceivably possible that some are here simply for the joy of arguing?

Well spotted "OnTheWayOut" and of course I did that deliberately to highlight selective quoting.
Has anyone noted how often selectively quoting people happens on a thread.
Marty Fellon is terrible -to think some people like the idea of racism?
could later be quoted as " some people like the idea of racism"

The way I see it if a person has a nothing argument, then where there is nothing there must be something. Or at least I consider myself not brilliant enough, nor genius enough to consider what I now believe in my mind as fact.
