10 Ways To Win An Internet Argument
socialcollaborationcenter.com

Co-written with Hannah Myers.

With so many stupid people on the Internet today, having to argue with them has become commonplace. It is our job to teach these people about how incorrect their opinions are. Internet denizens, we must remain strong and not relent on our positions. We must comment on every Facebook post, YouTube video and Subreddit! No ignorant tweet should be ignored! It is up to us to right the wrongs of the Internet. As such, the way we have seen so many arguments on the internet go requires us to make some corrections to proper internet argument etiquette.


1. Use as many curse words as you can to emphasize your point.

Using a series of curse words strengthens your argument because it shows how passionate you are about the subject. Profanity also shows your opponent how intelligent you are, so use it often!

2. Use extra question marks to show how confused you are about their moronic post.

Like seriously??? How can someone be so stupid???

3. Any ".com" site is a credible resource.

Your opponent may provide you with links to ".org" or ".gov" sites, but you're clearly better at research because you know that ".com" sites are always a fountain of valid information.

4. Tell a story about yourself.

If it has happened to you, it has happened to everyone. Obviously everyone's life experiences are all exactly the same and definitely applicable in every situation.

5. Always correct your opponent's grammar.

When you think your opponent may have stumped you, reclaim victory by insulting their grammar. Let them know the differences between "there" and "their."

6. Use any -ism or -phobia to shut down your opponent's close-mindedness.

If it goes against what you think is right, your opponent is obviously wrong and must always have some prejudice against you.

7. Take everything your opponent says personally.

Any correction or refutation your opponent makes is just an insult to your intelligence and mind as a whole. Doing this will ensure you have the fire to keep posting replies.

8. Never make a concession.

Even if your opponent is right, don't let them get any ideas. And remember, not replying to their post is considered a concession.

9. Tell your opponent how stupid he or she is.

Constantly reference your opponent's stupidity using words like "moron" and "idiot." Adding a curse word before one of these words really emphasizes how dumb the person is!

10. Abandon all logic.

People that try to bring valid research and objective perspectives into arguments are seriously SO annoying. No wonder "logical" people always stop replying when they know they have lost a fight on the Internet.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
