You are in a heated debate. What is the best way to make your opponent look wrong, thus winning the argument? Is it a clear and concise representation of the facts? Is it clever rebuttal after clever rebuttal? No, my friend. It is contradiction. No, this is not what they talked to you about in health class. This, dear reader, is opposing whatever your opponent says, despite whatever "facts" he or she may bring to the table. As long as you constantly say things like "that's what you think" and "says you" you are sure to keep the other debater confused enough to pounce and kill him/her. Its a sweet life.

The peanuts, by the way, were pretty good.
