Intelligent Debates

Here are some more conversations;

Me vs. the Optimist:

Andy:Good Morning!
Me: Actually it's a lousy morning.
Andy:No,it's not. Anyway, it's good weather, eh?
Me: How could you say that? It's, like, barely above freezing.
Andy: Shrugs.. it's good for the environment
Me:Huh?
Andy:Clearly, global warming is over-rated.
Me:Right.
Me: Did you know that our friend ***** have died because he tripped and fell into a gutter today while trying to steal liquor?
Him:It could have been worse.
Me:Huh? Your best friend died, how could it be worse than that?
Him:If they removed the manhole covers last week, I'll be dead



Student vs. un-resonable parent(s):
Youfye:Ermmm;here's my report book.
Quote from report:
Math teacher:I've seen worse
English teacher:Not as atrocious as some
Science teacher:She does not think that she's proud, but then again she doesn't think much else either.
Form teacher:I wish she'll find some form!!!!!
Head Teacher: Can't make Head nor tail of her.
Guidance counselor: Tries hard. At times, I could find her very trying indeed.


After ten minutes of loud noises;
Youfye's Father:If you don't have better grades by next year,somebody would be whipped.
Youfye's mother:I don't think corporal punishment is the only solution.
Youfye's father(pushing his wheelchair foward):
Nonsense!I got whipped a lot when I was young,and look at the man I am now!
Youfye's mother:But dear ,you can't walk.
Youfye's father:A small price to pay for perfect manners!

Students vs. too reasonable parent
Me: Dad, can I get a cell phone
Dad:Of course not
Me:But everybody has one
Dad: If everybody jumps from a building, would you do so?
Me: If the cumulative average jumps from a building, I'll conclude that the hazards barely exist and that it would be perfectly reasonable to jump from a building.
Dad: But it's not t-
Me: Exactly. So a better example of your argument would be, if everbody wears clothes, would you?
Dad:So you are perfectly contented with receiving the average?
Me: I suppose so.

Later...

Me:Ryan, can I buy your com game for 75 cents? It's my entire weeks allowance.
Ryan: You received the average Zimbabwean allowance, eh?
