5 ways to win an argument. Learn them by hard, ahmoians! LOLOLOL


When was the last time you had won an argument with your opponents'
hands down? Most people think that winning an argument depends on
one's communication skills. However, communication skills also need a
smart and mean brain. I assure you that if you use these 5 tactics with
perfect timing, nothing is going to stop you from winning. STATUTORY
WARNING: Dont try on your wife, girlfriend or boss. They are smarter
than people like me who just write for writing's sake.

1. Blame the opponent for the argument: It is really important to
maintain throughout the argument that your opponent started the argument
at the first place. Always remember that you are a victim of your
opponent's whim and someone as innocent as you can not possibly
instigate a conflict situation.

2. Use a third person: Whenever you feel your opponent has made a
bloody good point, just take shelter of a third person. Pretend that your
opponent is not around, then turn to this third person, use the killer words
"Can you imagine he said blah blah blah.... !! How ignorant can someone
get." and then one smirk and a small pat to your forehead. Congratulations
! You have won the round.

3. Make sure to advertise your small wins: Whenever you feel you have
made a bloody good point, do not wait for his/her expressions or reactions.
Take advantage of it. Make a new blog to advertise this bloody good point
to seek for opinions from other readers especially your supporters. This will
surely gets your opponents' mind working aimlessly to retaliate. Probably,
another bloody good point may emerged out from the retaliation for u to
talk about in another new blog and have a good laugh out of it. LOLOLOL

4. Cook up the facts that nobody can verify: If you are doing a factual
argument, feel free to create your own facts. Afterall, everybody has a right
to create information. Just make sure that these facts are not easily
varifiable. Use words like, "I read in a survey that ..... " or " There was this
interesting episode on Discovery channel which told me that some Zebras
can fly." Now let it be your opponent's headache to follow up with the
Discovery channel office.

5. Make your opponent eat his/her own words: When your opponent
presents an argument, try to make it round and personal. Trap him or her
in such a way that he or her has to think twice before reacting and use this
interruption to build on your own theory. You can trap him/her by proving
that what he/she is saying is not practical and is totally inconsistent with
his/her acts or beliefs. Force it down his/her throat that the point he/she
just made was only to win the argument and that he/she does not really
believe in that. A classic example is the suicide example. If someone is
defending suicide, ask him/her why does not he/her hang himself/herself at
the first place? He/she will surely stammer before responding. Use this
time to dominate him/her.
