I bet some even take opposing views on subjects for the fun of it. Ya' Think?

I know for a fact that they do.

And some Soapbox posts are posted for NO other reason that rattling a few cages. I bet some even take opposing views on subjects for the fun of it. Ya' Think?

Playing devil's advocate can sometimes add "flavor" to the conversation......

Actually, I'm my opinion, no. If people debate the issues and not the person, it shouldn't matter.

I will sometimes (often, even) take a position in a debate that varies greatly from my own, for the specific purpose of learning other points of view. If you can't understand someone else's point of view, it's very hard to convince anyone that yours deserves consideration.

One of the very first lessons I learned in debate class.

Yeah, silly, but liberal still isn't in what I said although the Cabinet etc. that support him are in fact majority liberal.

That's a good assumption, but I would think that many in that majority may reluctantly support him if it was against a republican because he hasn't fulfilled what they feel he promised them he would do.

You were in a debate club, really? I'm interested, when and where did this participation in a debate club take place? I bet you were really good at it.

I'm quite sure I've eaten a few things that weren't made in the USA in my lifetime that came out of me here in the USA.

Just as not wanting to keep Obawa around, I wouldn't have wanted to keep what came out of me around either.

Aw man, and I just finished dinner!

You do know the difference between a club and a class, right? I took a debate class, too, several of them, but was never in a debate club.

Yes silly me, using the word club and not class when referring to his post was a mistake. I should've known better. Sometimes I have a hard time associating the word class when responding to some posts.

I started my "debate" career in grade school. In high school I was in the debate club. I was in college as well. I did take a debate class in college. It was fun.
