I have been know to debate people on an issue and let them choose which side I will take. I despise people who use sound bites as support for their position. I take the time to study my opposition and their stances. Many times I have educated an opponent on the planks of their own organization. I will not try to embarrass anyone with whom I am debating. I will not resort to name calling, I believe that is a sign of having a weak argument. I do not suffer fools. If the facts are the facts and someone denies them because they do not fit their template, I am finished with them.
My goal is not to win, but to maybe show what someone believes is the truth, might look a little different from another angle. I want to win people over to my belief system. I know this will not always happen but I am civil none the less. I look forward to this little experiment. I could not find on your blog where you have done something like this before. If you have, I could not find it. If nothing else, anyone who joins in should enjoy looking through the others prisms.
