Nay Slyfox, I remember not one but two threads I got the better of you in debate form. Once with the issue of medical marijuana, where you cited a report on how harmful the drug could be and I then showed you a report from the exact same doctor and team of scientists about ten years later where his studying had come to the exact opposite conclusion of his previous beliefs.
That's not a mocking laughter, that's genuine. Because I always agreed with you that for every study you could find for marijuana, you could find just as many against. What YOU never responded to, at least not sufficiently that I remember, is that given the fact there is so much research to suggest the ill effects of marijuana, why should we legalize it if there's as much research to suggest its harm as not?
I also remember you kept trying to come at me with things like alcohol, and then were stopped cold when I told you I had no problem with alcohol being made illegal.
Like I said earlier in this thread:
In all seriousness, what usually happens when guys like X, IC, KB, myself, etc. get into hot debates, we just go on forever and nothing gets settled. Anyone who agreed with my side before the debate will think I won, and anyone who agreed with the other side will think they won.
I also remember a thread where we argued about ECW, and you tried to tell everyone that the promotions consisted entirely of New Jack like "wrestlers" hitting each other with frying pans and shit, and I went on some rant about the Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko feud and the series of technical match-ups we got from them and posted a bunch of videos and shit.
That's just off the top of the dome. I'll gladly admit you've gotten the better of me many times as well though. You have always been my greatest philosophical rival.
No, you have your memory wrong there.
I told you that ECW's REPUTATION was that of guys like New Jack hitting each other with frying pans and shit. I remember this thread as well. I never could get you to understand that I knew guys like Mysterio, Malenko, etc. worked in ECW, but that ECW made its name off guys like Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Raven, etc.
I remember that thread very well.
The one I'm still waiting on a reply from Sly in is a Rumble debate where the last posts from either of us were (paraphrased and the argument was which Rumble was better: 92 (KB) or 09 (Sly)):
Sly: All that matters is the amount of potential winners.
KB: So last night, who else besides Orton had a chance? You said in 92 there were three options. So who were the other three besides Orton, because I must have missed them.
Still waiting on a reply and I still need to find that.
Like before, find me the thread. Damn, 2009 is such a long time ago now. But yeah, find me the thread.
Why do some of you care so much about beating someone in an Internet forum debate? Anyway, Spawn's the only one to soundly beat Sly in a debate.
Good old Spawn. You do realize the only time he and I actually "argued", it was a work, right? Like, to the point we were PM'ing each other back and forth laughing about it. It was something to the effect of me making a trolling statement, him get upset in response, and then me PM'ing him to tell him I was just basically trolling the thread, and that we should play it out.
I always liked Spawn. What happened to him anyways? Wasn't it something with one of the works?
EDIT: I've said it before, but the only time I've ever been beaten was on another forum by a poster named Mad Metal, I think it was. I had a couple facts wrong, and based my argument around those facts, and after a couple posts, he showed me where my sources was wrong. True story.
