Argument Club
Posted March 9th, 2009 at 08:51 PM by scottishlad5
Hey all,
I have been at heroscapers a long time, and I have noticed that there are alot, of very good, and talented lawyers, and debaters here.
I am proposing that about every month, we have a topic that some comes up with that we all study, and have a good old fashion argument about it. By that I mean, we have a rebuttal and a cross examination, all of that neat stuff.
Its a little rusty, but what do you guys think?

M: Oh look, this isn't an argument.
A: Yes it is. M: No it isn't. It's just contradiction. A: No it isn't. M: It is! A: It is not. M: Look, you just contradicted me. A: I did not. M: Oh you did!! A: No, no, no. M: You did just then. A: Nonsense! M: Oh, this is futile! A: No it isn't. M: I came here for a good argument. A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument. M: An argument isn't just contradiction. A: It can be. M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition. A: No it isn't. M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction. A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position. M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.' A: Yes it is! M: No it isn't! |

Good thing you didn't propose an Abuse Club or a Complaint Club. Unfortunately, you'll still have to pay for another hour.
