Thread: Argumentation Challenge

Um Riverdog, was it your intention to kill this thread off in such a spectacular fashion ? Are you really the kind of person who would puncture kids balls ? Would you shave cats and stick their photos on youtube ? Would you kill off the entire music industry, except for one band, and then introduce a specific form of amnesia ? Not only will Huey Lewis and the News be the greatest rock band of all time, it will be the only band of all time. Are you some kind of demented super baddie with no conscience ?


Next:Why Oily Buckle ( world famous typing error ) is unable to grow a beard.

My esteemed ladies and gentlewomen of the "let's grow a beard" society.

As many of you may have heard one of our fellow members - Oily Buckle - has been unable to grow a beard.
This is due to the fact that he wants to be different from you, his wondrous colleagues, go his own way, feel the breeze on his chinny chin chin.
With this in mind comrades, is this such a bad thing? Surely us being the welcoming and supporting society that we are; we should encourage this behavior in order to gain diversity among our ranks.

May the stubble of mars ever shine on your hairy faces.

NEXT: why whinne the pooh should be initiated into the rock'n'roll hall of fame.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today for a monumentous occasion. The mighty Disney empire has lobbied for this day for 15 years now. Yes, Pooh, today is your day. Timeless hits such as Rumbly in My Tummy, The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers and Little Black Rain Cloud have propelled you to Rock-God superstardom faster than Keith Richards checking himself out of rehab. I know many of you are thinking that Pooh is only a cartoon, and that cartoons do not belong in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. Well, maybe you should explain your predjudices to your own children, but first, a special friend of Pooh's is with us today to address your concerns. Knock'em dead Eeyore.

Uhhum...

"When there's a hill I have to climb
Although it seems to high
I hide my doubt
And start right out
And here's the reason why

I won't say no
I won't say can't
I won't say I won't try
I just say yes I can
And I get there by and by
I just say yes I can
And I get there by and by

When something new
Looks hard to do
I'm not afraid to start
I just begin
And lose or win
I try with all my heart

I won't say no
I won't say can't
I won't say I won't try
I just say yes I can
And I do it by and by
I just say yes I can
And I do it by and by

I won't say maybe
I won't say no not I
I maybe be slow
But this I know
I'm not afraid to
Give it a try, give it a try
Give it a great, big try

So everytime
Ya seek a prize
That seems to hard to win
If the hardest part is
How to start, stop worrin′
Just begin

And don't say no
And don't say can't
And don't say I won't try
Just say yes I can
And ya just might win that prize
Just say yes I can
Cause a winner always tries"



NEXT: Why we should be able to continue our annual Club a Baby Seal Festival.

(Love it Brock, was wondering if anyone would come up with something decent as an argument but you seem to be somewhat of an expert on all things whinne the pooh ;D)

Assembled ladies, gentlemen and penguins

Today our beloved festival is under threat, which is not only an essential part of our community but an upholding of tradition of the homosapien (and Sphenisciformes)dominanceover the race of the underlings.

Our much loved "club a baby seal festival" is being attacked by "right-on" activists and vegetarians *crowd shudders*. Now my fellow comrades, we shall fight them! Why will we fight them? Because clubbing baby seals is not only a relaxing pass time but a means of feeding our family's and feeling manly.7

Our culture has been invaded by those who care about fashion, listen to heavily pretentious music and write POEMS *spits*. WE ARE MEN. We go out in the freezing cold in shorts and a t-shirt, we wield massive weapons because we are used to it! AND WE CAN LISTEN TO THE VILLAGE PEOPLE AND LOVE EVERY MINUTE... *heavy cheering*

"wait, what did he just say?"

As we move closer to our goal of TOTAL domination over the seal kind. FIRST THE SEALS! NEXT THE WORLD!
*initial confusion over the meaning of what this person really means by; "being a man", reverts back to heavy cheering*

Be at peace brethren, for we will defend our festival TO THE LAST!
And now I wish you all to join me in our MANLY anthem;

"Where can you find pleasure...
*Rest of the room joins in*
Search the world for treasure,
learn science technology..."


Next up: Why shakira's song "hips don't lie" is actually a deep and meaningful song about politics today (I'd actually love to do this one! But I leave it to you!)

Adam, and I also would love to have you do this one, since I've never heard the song and don't wish to. But I would like to contribute to this fun thread, but am stopped cold by this topic. So, have at it!
