User:Simsilikesims/Worst 100 Ways to Win an Argument
“And on the 159th day the Lord said: "Thou shalt win the argument, for thou art Texan"”

The basic rule for winning an argument can be boiled down to this: you're more likely to win an argument if you have a strong command of the facts, a good understanding of logic, the ability to express your point of view clearly and concisely and talking about it like men, with guns.
