Ozzy on Debate

A few days ago I was having a chat with my friends about, well, about anything. It pretty much ranged from the dodgy area of the infamous "Dead Baby Jokes" to more serious matters, like the point of religion in today's society. The more serious parts, I regret to say were not as full of intellectual prowess as perhaps I would have liked. The standard structure was as such:
Me: Thought provoking argument for/against a subject of relative importance.
Other: Less thought provoking, but nonetheless valid rebuttal
Me: Acknowledgment of comment, followed by a swift reason why my point is better
Yet another other: Argument for/against me, that has been passed around debate forums everywhere so manyt ime that it's now clichéd and anyway it's full of parts of misinformation.
Other: Acknowledgment of case, + additional information that may or may not also be riddled with misinformation.
Me: Yet more proof that I am the better debater
Another other: Your mum joke
Me: "Fuck you guys"
Them: More your mum jokes and eventually more dead baby jokes.

I seriously believe that I am the only person with any interest in debate there. They're all perfectly smart people, they just like to disturb each other by regaling all with short tales of things purple and squealing or red, silver and bumping into walls rather than contemplate the greater things in life. It's really just depressing to consider these people my peers sometimes.

Or maybe I'm just an arrogant, self righteous fucktard with an overly jaded and cynical view on life.

Either way is fine by me.

Oz is out

P.S. Feel like debating anything? I'll take you on.

[Ozzy got bought an advent calendar the other day. It is considered to be a monument to the commercialism that christmas has gained in today's society. But it's also free chocolate, so all is cool in regards to that.]
