You won't. They get paid to do this shit.\r\n\r\nThen, if they were successful in getting you to debate something with them, they will nitpick over semantics and references until you have forgotten what you were originally discussing from having delved so deeply into details. Preferably murky details with no clearcut definate answers.\r\n\r\nIf they were not successful in baiting you, or if they were and your logic is infallibly superior to theirs, they will attack you as a person ("Consiparcy Nut! Put on your aluminum hat!"), your motivations for excercising your right to free speech ("How dare you support terrorism!"), or your audacity for disagreeing with the bush administration ("How dare you not support our glorious godly leader Bush and his holy cleansing fire?!?").\r\n\r\nAnd if none of that accomplishes anything, or even if it did but you happen to disagree with their employers ideals, your spelling and grammar will be subject to obsessivly anal nitpicking.\r\n\r\nJust smile, nod, and get ready for it (ie, clean your gun, sharpen your sword, check your boots laces, etc), cause its coming.\r\n\r\nYour days are numbered you assholes. We're on to you and we want our country back.\r\n\r\n(BTW: "MadMax(im)" is probably the least skilled\/devoted of them. Bush Admirer and Simple Simon are probably tied for biggest idiot.
