Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 09:24 PM by Ava
the guy had pissed me off already, and then he decided to bring up abortion. after listening to him make a stupid argument i had a simple response -
me: "have you ever been pregnant?"
him: "no"
me: "ok, then shut the hell up"


:rofl: our conversation ended there

1. That is a tough argument with men especially.
I debate with a male friend of mine often about it. We won't change one another's minds but that doesn't keep us from arguing our points.

2. Wow - now THERE is a way to stop a conversation!
Same with guys - "Have you ever had a morning kick-stand?" - knocks the girls out cold.

3. Nice.
:thumbsup:

There was one time I can remember, outside of a bar in Chicago where we were having a DU Meetup the day of the Vice Presidential debate in 2004. Poor guy, so cluelessly uninformed, against four or five of us that actually knew our stuff pretty well. :D
