Can someone direct me to a Ben Shapiro video wherein he debates another professional debater and not college students in a Q&A ?

@Allelse

A conservative fellow who is quite quick on his feet. Mostly discusses social issues, does a pretty bad job of debating religious issues.

But i've never seen him in a proper debate with someone else who knows what they;re doing.

@Pikachu Probably because he avoids them and those that know what they're doing dont think him worth the time or day.

@Allelse

lol could be either of those.

@Pikachu ITs like when some crackpot comes up with some mad new conspiracy theorey and they go "I challenge those 'EXPERTS' to prove me wrong". And the experts have better things to do than listen to some mad basement dweller declare, that THEY'VE proven that the moon is infact the sun. The only problem is that the nutter thinks that because nobody will 'meet his challenge' that he has therefore succeeded. "A HA!!!!". The nutter cries out in victory "They wont meet my challenge because they know I'll prove them wrong and uncover the entire conspiracy!!!!".

@Allelse


lol a definite possibility.
In fact, i had [i]exactly[/i] that conversation today at work with an anti-vaxxer

@Pikachu You poor bugger. Did you feel like banging your head against a wall during and afterward?

@Allelse

lol no. I am very patient.

@Pikachu I've given up trying to deal with nutters like that long ago, I get better sense out of my cat.

@Allelse

But the sport of it! lol

@Pikachu I'm happy, thank you very much, winding up people who take themselves too seriously. :P Which this place is full of. I'll leave those other nutters up to you.

@Allelse


lol i prefer to call it challenging but yes, it does seem to wind them up as often as not

@Pikachu My father is one you see and I grew up listening to him go on and on and on!! About all manner for insane thing. Everything from "The Jews rule the world!!" to "John Howard planned Port Arthur in a scheme to take our guns away and create a police state!!".

@Allelse

Man, i can't imagine what it's like to grow up with a conspiracy theorist as a father.
Sadly, that's why my co-worker's daughter will grow up with.
He's an anti-vaxxer, pizza gate supporter, one world order, illuminati, martians colonized earth and so on and so on.

@Pikachu Mum's not like that, which meant dinner time was spent with them both screaming their heads off at each other. One time Mum even got out an encyclopedia to prove he was wrong and Dad bellowed "YOU DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ IN BOOKS DO YOU?!!?". Urghhhhhhhhh!

Martian's colonized earth? How does he figure that one?

@Allelse

lol yikes.

Well to make a long story short, humans used to be peaceful and nurturing but then the violent martians invaded earth and interbred with humanity and that's why we're now violent and also the martians are in charge of the government.

@Pikachu Peaceful and nurturing? So I suppose the Martians are responsible for our murdering, eating and raping the neanderthal into non-existence. And what proof has he got of the Martian invasion?

@Allelse

Yes exactly.

Well he didn't offer proof.....can't imagine why.

Also cell phones cause brain cancer and so do the electric meters on the side of your house.

@Pikachu Oh the insane woman next door is convinced that power lines cause headaches and in some cases brain cancer. She also used to like to talk to my Dad about his insane theories.

Electric meter on the side of the house?

@Allelse


lol good stuff

@Pikachu Hahahaha! Why does he think that gives you cancer?

@Allelse

I honestly can't remember. I have to block a lot of this stuff out lol

@Pikachu Oh, another one my Dad has is that yes the holocaust happened, but not as many people died in it as we are told, so its alright.

@Allelse

lol yes i've heard that one too...by a hollow earther.

The nazis didn't kill 6 million jews, only 60 thousand, so no biggie.

@Pikachu Bahahaha! Yeah no biggie. I mean bloody heck, 5 people is too many to be killed in the name of racial/religious genocide.

@Allelse

lol yeah, he definitely came off as a nazi sympathizer.
