I'm asking for yo YOUR assertionur opinion, and your opinion seems to solely be that I'm wrong.

It's the easiest thing in the world to say someone else is wrong. I want your own personal explanation as to why you think that.

I don't want another dismissive smilie. I want your views and opinions.
I asked YOU for elaboration of YOUR assertion - I didn't say you were wrong .....

YOU'RE the one with the "opinion" (allegedly) .....

No you didn't. You asked me for a name after I posited that the name was unimportant in the first place.

I elaborated by giving the invasion of Russia, and the entrance of America into the war, as far more significant that Churchill as the PM.

There you go again, you're trying to hide in tiny details, and use smilies as your discussion tool.

You're not very good at this, are you? Debate is generally a 2-way street, and as yet, you've offered nothing to counter my opinions (that doesn't need to be quote-marked).

I'll make this clear, change Hitler and Churchill around. Churchill attacks Russia, and the US enter the war. The allies still win.

I can't have made my opinion any clearer, so either address it and explain why you disagree, or don't bother replying with smilies.

So what is a debate?

A debate involves a discussion of the pros and cons of an issue. Debating successfully is all about using argument and persuasion to convince other people that your views are right.

Steps to debating perfection (ext)

Research: Research the subject, so that you have facts to back up your views. It helps to validate your answer so it becomes more than just your opinion.

In the heat of a debate it's easy to lose your cool

Don't get personal: In the heat of a debate it's easy to lose your cool and attack the other person for having a different opinion to you. But remember they're entitled to that opinion and just because they don't think the same as you it's not a bad thing.

Stay Focused: Stick to the subject being debated and don't stray into other areas. It sounds obvious but it's easy to do once you start debating.


I am now going to follow my own advice and stick to the subject being debated - Falklands row: Cameron vows to defend Islanders

You really are a tiresome bore, with a stunning lack of self awareness. Avoiding the issues over and over again, but pasting blocks of text. Don't confuse me calling out your bull****, as losing my cool.

I gave you one final chance to address my posts and you've swerved out of it in typical Omah-style.
