Good luck on changing anyones mind on this forum though, and 95% of the time if a person is wrong they will not admit it, even if they know they are wrong.

There are no debates here just arguments.
Nonsense.

The only reason you are saying this is because you are an idiot. :p

You're a "mechanic", yet you never come into the YACT threads.. why is this?

I think it is because no one here agrees with his idea of how a car works, or anything else he says about cars.

Hence the ":p" after idiot.

It was just filler. :p I was actually asking you a serious question, because I would love to get into an engine discussion with you again.

It sucks when everybody agrees all the time. :p

It easy to win debates. Argue from verifiable fact only. If you cannot back up your position with readily verifiable facts, be prepared to agree to disagree, or lose the debate.

Start your argument with "Since the beginning of time, mankind...". You can just pour on the BS from there. Also, always use lots of "hences", "therefores" and other connecting words that make you look intelligent.

But I like your answer better :)

You can win everytime, by making your sport the "Art of Losing". If you play to win, you will lose. If you play to lose, you will lose thus accomplishing your goal. Mind you there are some other real losers on the forums, so sometimes you have to actually try hard to lose.......:D

If this applies to you, then give yourself a big hoorah for meeting and exceeding your goals....;)
