Why do so many people feel there needs to be legitimacy behind the arguer?

There's no problem with you playong devils advocate, Dustin, you just do it in the stupidest of ways. If you want to do it, make a thread asking for rebuttals against a certain argument and tell us you'll be playing the role of the opposition.

The way you do it now just makes you look like a cunt

Bait is bait. There's no discussion to be had when somebody playing devil's advocate because being a bible thumping retard isn't a valid point of view.

There's nothing to learn from objectively wrong views. Like "gay people aren't gay cause of genes lol". They are. Thinking otherwise isn't a "point of view" it's just retarded. Fact denial does not teach anybody anything and there's no learning going on of you act like an idiot. Simple as that.

Actually it can be both genotypically determined and phenotypically determined due to exposure to certain hormones in the womb, at least in males.

I agree completely... arguing to learn is the only reason to argue...

Either you like to win arguments or you like to learn.

Why not both?

For the same reason I don't bother with sites like Obama-is-a-kenya.net
