Kinds of debates

Three kinds of debates:
1. You are sure that you are not going to convince the person you are debating or you just don't care; your only target is the audience.

2. You really want to know other view points and possible short comings of your rationale and find a common ground between you and your debater.

3. You are sure that you are right and are trying to change your debater's mind by appealing to his/her cognitive dissonance.

shut the fuck and suck it up!

Every time you cry
you make me die
As long as you pry
your brain you will fry
Don't cave in
and toughen your skin
shut the fuck
and suck it up
