Favorite Documentaries?

Awesome, can't wait to see what you think of Jesus Camp. Also, eat some of that popcorn for me, cause you making me hungry!

@everyone else

I honestly feel like I am hanging around a bunch of early twenties year-olds straight out of a college philosophy course.

My favorite popcorn she makes is ol' fashioned butter. But she's nuts. She'll use zero butter and try all types of seasoning mixes. We usually only purchase Penzey's spices, so most of the time her mixes turn out pretty tasty. She also cooks her popcorn in my largest kettle, with very little oil.

She's a master at it. I'm very proud of my cooking, but she takes the cake when it comes to popcorn. She could open a restaurant around it in my opinion (and I grew up with Garrett popcorn).

Agree with your second point. Even if I think I'm right, I could care less if I'm wrong on the internet. I'll always think "This is a chair" isn't an argument, and that it takes two to make an argument. Or as Billy Madison said it, "It takes-ah-two, to tango".

That in mind, Dave as a cop in an episode of COPS would be hilarious.

Dish: Do you know why I pulled you over?

Driver: Was I speeding?

Dish: DON'T ARGUE WITH ME! I need you license and registration.

Driver: Here ya go.

Dish: STOP ARGUING WITH ME AND EXIT THE VEHICLE!

Driver: *steps out of vehicle* Okay.

Dish: I WARNED YOU NOT TO ARGUE WITH ME! You're going downtown for non-compliance. You should have never argued with me.


@Ack. Yup. He's brilliant. He's a salesman. He could sell oxygen in a can if he wanted. His basic formula is:

1)Shock
2)Subject
3)Information (biased, but who cares?)
4)More shock
5)Summary

It's a lot like writing a white paper for a CEO.

You say what's wrong. Tell 'em what is wrong. Provide stats that work in your favor. Emphasize what's wrong again. Tell 'em what is wrong again.

It works.

Yeah, exactly. He's a perfect representation of how to do this in film.

Everyone keeps conflating all meanings of "argument" for something like "disagreeable bickering".

I'm done with arguing.

Mooreis great at it. You pick what you support, negate anything plausible.

When I wrote my first white paper, it was out of nowhere. CEO entered my office and asked "You think you can do things better? Write me a white paper".

Even with an MBA I had never heard of the term, so my white paper virginity had been taken. I called my Pops and asked what to do, and he said:

"Succinctly Spoon Feed Him".

He should coin that phrase.

I know the idea of, "Tell them what you're going to tell them, tell them, and tell them again", but he made very clear with that phrase to throw out the bait, reel it in, and hold on to the catch.

To add, my Father has been in MIS his entire career and he's never been in sales. But! He does know how to convince just about anybody in his line of thinking, because he knows the facts.

I can't argue with him. Spoon feeding certainly holds it's place in driving home a point.

YAY! Can we have cake now? I love cake and I mean that in a non-persuasive manner!

"I came in here for an argument!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. This is Abuse."

So this is your last post and the last words you speak?

I already made that joke.

[Luke]

I already made that joke.

Maybe I need to define what a "joke" is.

Look between your legs!

or is that a "zinger"?
