Learn to argue right

written on February 10, 2010 in Stupid People

Being snowed in at my apartment at school was fun for the first few days, but this is getting kind of ridiculous, and I’m starting to get bored. Not in the sense that I miss classes (God forbid, I rejoice in the fact that I get a break from 21 credits), but I miss seeing other people asides from my roomies. So being bored as I am, I happened across this article: Top 10 Reasons Why Mac Sucks. Being a Mac-lover, I was intrigued and read it in hopes of being enlightened.

Hell, NO. the only thing I was enlightened with after reading the article was how a self-righteous ignorant douchebag could end up as a writer for CollegeTimes. I seriously thought this article was a joke or spoof of some sort, until I read the author’s comments. Forget the fact that I’m as Pro-Mac as they go, the article just makes PC users look bad, as if they had to sink to such low arguments to attack Mac-fans. Seriously? Shitting on Mac users by calling us “wannabes” was the #1 reason why Mac sucks? This article is the epitome of how you should NOT build your argument.

I then happened across another article, this time with 65 reasons why Mac sucks (damn, I have a hard time coming up with even 3 reasons). Instead of gnashing my teeth like I did the previous one, I actually found myself nodding occasionally as I read it. Instead of being written by what may as well be a whiny 5-year old who probably used nothing newer than the iMac, it was actually written with legit unbiased facts, backed by actual usage on an UPDATED machine. No bashing, no whining. Now THIS is how you should build your arguments.
