If you stay calm, it adds validity to your point. Just keep your cool and listen to what the other person has to say. When you have heard their side, form a series of questions to ensure you understand their viewpoint and then use their own false logic and weaknesses to calmly go for the kill.

As soon as I discover that I'm not going to get through to them on any level, I back off because I get angry too...and I'm angry long after the debate is over...it isn't worth it.

Yes, when I was younger then, but now, I just listen a lot and kept it to myself of what are the thought I haave on the topic. Well, come to think about it... it is not about the topic, it is about the invasion of the spaces that you are in, and that is why we got angry. But if you learn to ignore it and stand on the knowledge that they could not touch you, you could just smile away on them.

Stress causes, cancer a big belly and migraine headaches. You might want to consider acting stupid for awhile. I had breast cancer and was a great debater. I'd rather live than be right.

I'm on the debate team.
I eat and breathe frustration from illogical claims.
