    Also nice in the "Does somebody here really thinks X???" version.

    What are the best arguments you encountered?
    "I totally agree with your point of view".

    With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

      "But the US does/did Y"

      I swear, these two come up in nearly every debate I've been in. Maybe everyone really does know that the US did Y. Am I out of the loop?
      Of course, the "US" in this special case can be quite easily replaced by other things

        I imagine looking at the KO thread gives you spontaneous orgasms.


        My favourite argument is "if you think foreign cultures are as stupid/evil/conceited as westerners you are teh racist!"
        Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

            Not really - for some reason, CFCers are less fond of the "omfg you are teh racist" gambit than 'Polytubbies -, it's something I've seen in a lot of places.

            A good example here would be when Aggie called me a racist for saying I saw no reason to expect the PRC to be a more benevolent hegemon than what the US is.
