Re: Awesome Post of the Day
interesting. thanks. I thought it was the Greeks but wasn't any more sure of it than that. But, I might have to pull out me ol' rhetoric book, because I recall that there are Gk/Roman terms for the idea of both sides of an issue within the same speech (or even utterance). Maybe ol' Cicero or someone-or-other. Perhaps it's not the same as an extended treatment in debate though. That is, perhaps, the idea is attenuated in Roman times? But what do I know....

The hallmark of a good debater in The Oxford Union of the 20's was to successfully debate a point with which you personally disagreed.
Which backs up Horace's point about English debate I guess.
'Debate' on the MBs is usually just petty arguments.

I don't know anything about the subject at hand, but Chris Despos shows what a class act he is when talking about another tailor.
