        Real Boris is a master of what I like to call the "twisted link". This theory of debating is when you use a myriad of links that support your point. "Twisted" is when the time frames don't match the argument. It compels you to not only refute his sources but to have to find your own to support your point. Very time consuming and research intensive...many just give up.

        Mtg just knows his stuff. Period.

          Intelligent people avoid debates that involve hitting heads against brick walls.

                  MtG has a great memory for facts, and excellent knowledge of history and a good knowledge of the law.

                  I haven't seen him do much in conceptual debates, but he doesn't seem interested in that sort of thing. I think that's why I've only argued with him a couple of times, since I prefer those.

                  Che has an excellent knowledge of Marx and is pretty fair in his expositions.

                  For pure wit and style it's hard to go past Molly. Some of his retorts have had me in stitches.

                              Uncle: actually, no I can't. I don't think that there are 3 people who are the best. I think there are a lot of great debaters.

                              BC: do you mean Boris, and Michael are people that can't change their opinions no matter what?

                                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
