Did you try that tactic on the debate team?

DCR, I don't like Axl Rose either.

I don't see the point in debating a matter of personal taste. It's like trying to convince someone Rocky Road is the best ice cream to someone that doesn't like chocolate. It's a waste of time. When it's a topic you can debate objectively, it's different.

Ask Kim sometime how I did in debates in high school.

Then why debate opinions? Everything but facts are a personal preference. Why debate at all?

Do you see me trying to turn this into a debate..

Yeah, it probably would be odd if you did it when working from home.

I'm off to catch a few, I think.

I know Shane sleeps in his patrol car when he's not taking money to look the other way.

Agreed. Not that high on the list, but very awesome.

Don't get me started on Pearl Jam. Talk about overrated. They have one song, and sing it almost the same way each time. Nickelback is the new Pearl Jam, only ten times better. That should tell you something about how much respect I have for the bag of puckered aholes aka "Pearl Jam."

Yes, dear. I caught that a couple of posts ago.

SOME people enjoy debating. I have to be in the mood for it. Often times, people haven't formed an opinion on a subject yet--that is the value of debates. Not for the two people debating, but for the audience. ie, Presidential debates. They benefit those that have not decided yet on subjects or candidates. Debates are very valuable tools to help people look at all sides of a subject, and come to their own conclusion. But, you have to be an open-minded type person to really have it be of any use to you.

did you pull people's hair? Chick "debates" are awesome.

I think others are scared to post in this thread.

I like Nickelback & Pearl Jam.

I never said I had great taste in music. I like most everything.
