Nicely stated. As usual. If I ever need help I'm calling you. Although you did use the word needle to a guy who was accused of a penis shortage.To CTS (et alia),
Remember that in any debate your goal is NOT to change the mind of the other person. They are normally as entrenched in their position as you are in yours.
Rather, it is your goal to convince people who are sitting on the fence, and there are many, to jump to your side instead of your opponents.
There are millions of Americans who don't know what to think about gun control, abortion, gay marriage, decriminalizing drugs, etc etc etc.
Then something peaks their interest and they start looking at two (or more) folks arguing about it. This is your opportunity to push the needle, just a little, your way with them!
When truly debating someone think of yourself as a lawyer, and your issue is your client. You would NEVER expect the opposing lawyer to change their viewpoint. Your goal is to change the juries viewpoint. When that happens enough your opponent no longer matters!
You did fine.

I normally resist the urge to get into these types of debates and I should have this time too...I mean this guy just plain destroyed me, if this were an academically sanctioned debate I don't know if I could ever show my face again. I should have known better....
Bob Costas is a weasily little jerk who is not even that good at being a sports commentator, in my opinion. Whenever I hear one of these so-called celebrities express their liberal, ivory tower opinions, I think about Rosey O'Donnell wanting everyone to be disarmed except for her personal bodyguards. More warped thinking from the Hollywood idiots.
When the size of my genitalia is insulted I always offer to show.
Where did you get this stat? I would love to red more. I was just discussing this today with a coworker, about how many gun crimes were committed with illegally purchased firearms. Seems like it would be very hard to track, but I like the stat. Send me a link if you have one please.Might benefit him to realize that of ALL violent crimes committed only 7% are done so with a GUN and over 80% of those are obtained in FTF transactions or other illegal means....all while the number of gun related deaths/injuries compared to number of owners equates to FAR less than 1% of all gun owners
But it's ok, blame the object, not the people...
To mosinowner: Your genitals are petite. Women find them to be unsatisfactory in both length and girth.
CHALLOOOOONGGGGEEE!
