I made two serious mistakes on these forums in the last few days: one, I misquoted Obama and used what he said out of context for my own needs. Now I look like I'm uneducated because I said something stupid about Iran; two, I kept these arguments going.
The thing about debate is its not about proving the other guy wrong, its about convincing the audience. Me telling you my opinion and you telling me your opinion is about as far as we can go without it turning into a slap fest. Even after all of these, I'm still voting for Obama and the conservatives are voting for McCain.
The argument was frivolous and I knew that. I rose to the challenge only to realize there was no challenge. No one here is worth getting that worked up over when the end result is the exact same as before. Its just not fun anymore when no one gives grounds so I'm walking away from all political discussion.
