Debating With Imbeciles is No Fun You Always Win and They Just Do Not Get It

Debate and discussion with intellectuals is fun and often you find at least one minor point of contention worthy from the other side. When I talk about intellectuals, I do not mean academics, as I do believe there are enough educated derelicts to fill the Salton Sea.

Recently I had a debate with a Liberal French Canadian who attempted to correct my speech with a more appropriate politically correct terminology. The terminology I used had nothing to do with him personally, it was over the use of the word; Ehy. And how so many Canadians use it, almost to the point of giving away their citizenship by the mere use of it ehy? This led to a debate about political correctness in general.

In the end we agreed to disagree, which made sense. He agreed that I had opened his eyes on the political correctness issues and problems with them and I agreed he was mistaken in every regard, as I was correct entirely and he was completely in error.

Of course since the conversation was intellectually based it was all good from my perspective? After all how often do you get to talk with or even debate with someone who is actually fully engaged in their "life experience" or "turned on" mentally enough to understand what you are even talking about these days?
