do you find it easier to explain/describe to others things that you are in favor of, or things that you are against? why?
extra credit: is this part of the reason for negative political campaigning on tv?

"Explaining" ideas you oppose is like attacking a sitting target. You know what the target is, where it is and you see how others attack it, and succeed or fail. Explaining ideas that are uniquely yours, or those you support, is more difficult, because in either case, you need to help build your case, not attack someone else's, and it's always harder to build something rather than tearing up something, because you have no ready-made guidelines. You have to build your own case, in your own words. God Bless you.

They declare the money is spent on time-honored expenses concerning elevating the youngster. the only difficulty is, when you consider that they do no longer look to be required to easily song how they spend the money, they have not have been given any theory how plenty it easily expenses. there is not any thank you to tutor how plenty the youngster expenses to develop so there is not any recourse for the girl's financial employer with a penis. each and all of the girl has to declare is she had to pay the hire, as though it somewhat is a sparkling and unpredicted bill which in ordinary terms became needed after having a baby, and the brainless courts will only nod their heads in settlement. No duty in any admire. this is corrupt to the very middle.

I think it is easier to explain ideas that you support. I can think of some logical reason to believe x without much trouble. On the other hand, the more I think about an idea I oppose the harder it is--just makes me more angry/frustrated/don't like it. I plain don't like thinking about ideas that I oppose, so I'm not going to understand them enough to explain it.
Re: negative campaigns. It's pretty clear that the candidates haven't spent much time thinking about the opposing side's point of view. They often misrepresent the truth--did not do their research --did not want to either.

Wow! Yes, i have a terrible time presenting things that I am in favor of, because there are soooo many strong points to be made I don't know where to start, and also, if I have respect for the person I'm speaking with, I believe a lot of those points should be Obvious!
Part B: You are a genius! You have just explained it!

It depends on how passionate I am about it. For instance, I'm strongly against things like abortion and socialism. I could talk your ear off with my oppositions. When it comes to legalization of marijuana, I'm for it, but not passionately...I could really care less, so it's harder for me to really push my ideas. I strongly agree with the Libertarian platform, that's another thing I can talk about for a while...
So it doesn't matter whether I'm for something or against it, it matters where my passions lie.

Both seem pretty easy, as long as you truely believe and have facts on, it's hard to argue with the truth.

Where I work people only like it if I agree with them and ignore me if I object.
