How to Prevail in OnLine Debate

I've written a pamphlet on this subject. It's really for conservatives, but of course anyone can read it. I would appreciate critical comments, suggestions for improvements, etc. PM me for details on how to get it if you're interested.

I didn't write anything on it but I have some free advice about it...

Don't open your mouth untill you know your right.

Sorry .. guess I'm just bored.

Have your "homework" ready for your debates. Give examples. I was reading an article about how confidence and the way a person speaks can convince the other person that they are correct. Sometimes they can look so confident (but not overconfident) that the other person does not want to fight back, even if they have their info. You can be saying a load of XXXX and they will be confinced that what you are saying is correct. An example that they were giving of this type of person was Margret Thatcher....

But that doesn't really help because you are not going to be debating someone face to face, so they won't be able to see your expressions etc...

Oh, and here's another one. Try to confuse your opponent by giving them questions for them to think about themselves.

Anyway, i'm not that great at debating... Im only 13...

I'm debating whether or not I should consider this spam and delete it. Convince me that I'm wrong.

My first suggestion would be: don't advertise that pamphlet anywhere there might be 'liberals' you plan on trying to convince.

Thanks for reminding me to follow up on this Peeling. Since Doug didn't stick around to defend his link, I'm going to deem it spam and delete it.
