You know what it is? Most people don't know how to construct arguments anymore; they only argue from assertion. I mean they don't understand most of the time why, or how something is contradictory!

You're asserting that most people are so stupid that they can't see or realize a contradictory statement! Or, is it a case of situational blindness? We probably all have friends who are of average intelligence normally but they fail to think clearly about particular subjects be it sports, religion, politics, etc. Usually something they are passionate about. At other times it's a case of ego; many people have a hard time admitting they are wrong about something.

Now, please forgive me Classical, as I am only posting this for a laugh. I am very bored of the endless Goff-Stafford-McVay-draft offseason post discussions, and I posted this hoping you'd get a laugh out of it.

I also had a good and dear friend who became so irrational, so offensive, so vulgar towards others who disagreed with him politically, that he ended up losing several almost lifelong friends, myself included. So in truth I totally get, and understand, what you are saying.
