Okay, first let me say, the only reason why I put it in this blog is because it compliments my other one.
I thought I made shit clear, if you don’t bring your “A” game you don’t get to talk to me. Recently it seems like every person who has wanted to talk or exchange ideas has been bringing me their “B” game and I am getting sick of it.
Here is the deal, if I tell you that your argument is stupid, than it is. Seriously, it is that simple. If I tell you a few times over the course of dicussing several points or over the course of the night keep bringing up that your arguments are flawed, TAKE THE FUCKING HINT! That means you are an idiot.
I have the accountability and objectivity that in the midst of an argument I will ask you to stop so that I can consider your point. If I think I am wrong, I will admit it, I won’t continue to debate my point in order to save face. You have to consider the other point; you can’t just listen for ways to poke holes in the other person’s argument.
Allow me to explain, I have had a number of discussions with people recently, and I am sick of their weak ass arguments. I am going to say this again, if you have the answer for a complex problem in one sentence you are most likely wrong, If you can say the problem and solution in one breath, you are without a doubt wrong.
I wrote a blog about the argument that at 18 you are old enough to go to war, but not old enough to drink. Last night some guy brought up that point. I said that in the Army you spend a couple months training and that if you go to war you don’t go to war unsupervised, however you are expected to drink unsupervised. His counter point? Where can you do supervised underage drinking? That isn’t a valid point. No matter how you dress it up, if you don’t have a good counter to my point, it is still stupid. No matter what I had to say about it, he couldn’t get off that 18 year olds should be able to drink. To this day, I have not found a credible argument that will convince me that 18 year olds should legally be able to drink.
You can break down the amount of information a person has into a few categories. A person who has no information on the topic, someone who has heard something about the topic, a person who has a lot of working knowledge and first hand knowledge and then you have the subject matter expert. When you read a book, you get the conclusions of another person, you have to get information from a number of sources to form your own conclusions. Otherwise you are just letting other people tell you what to think.
If you have read a couple articles on a topic, that does not put you on the same level as a subject matter expert. If I tell you I am a subject matter expert and am trying to pass on my knowledge, do not interrupt me to correct me with something you read on yahoo three days ago. I will have to hit you. That level of stupidity really should not go unpunished.
So for the love of all that is holy, if you ever want to get into some kind of discussion or debate, bring your mother fucking “A” game. You bring some weak ass shit my way and I will make you look and feel stupid. It will be your own fault, you accept that risk by engaging me in some stupid argument. I have big boy things to do, if you waste my time I will have to punish you.
