Knowledge of the subject. Without the knowledge you are just some dumb bunghole flapping your lips.
The ability to communicate it. If you can't put it in a manor that sounds right, people won't listen.
The belief that it is worth arguing the point. If you are not willing to stand for what you believe in then how can you argue it. But always remember... Who is more the fool? The fool, or the one arguing... You need to know when to walk away.

We need thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis to present a clear argument. Thesis being your statement, anti-thesis that gives a conflicting argument and synthesis, being the product of the deliberation. this can be achieved through dialectics, that is dialogues, we contest a truth to arrive at a higher truth that can be explained through reason. When you present your arguments with reasons and examples, your arguement would be clear and understandable.

1) A Clear understanding of the subject at hand
2) A Clear understanding of the language it is being argued in
3) A bottle of Jack Daniels, so that in the event you cannot get your point across, you get your opponent inebriated and leave his a** laying in the street not remembering what the argument was all about, your point made and you move on.
