Hahaha. This is a problem with all debate. You need to win. People rarely change their mind. All it comes to is looking the best at the end.
I agree on a certain level, but when you are debating, say, "Who is the best boxer ever", your sense of self is not nearly as entwined with the issue. It all exists on a continuum. The closer you get to issues that involve self-defining propositions, the nastier and more heated it becomes and the less likely you are to ever effect some one's position.


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
