That would suggest some sort of fistula between the rectum and urinary bladder. That would indeed be bad, but I'm not sure that this is the pivotal issue in most debates.


The biggest barrier are people defending there point despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary- intellectual dishonesty.

I'd add objectivity to the list.
you can't be prepared for a debate, or enter one with the correct attitude, unless you could argue both sides of the issue with equal skill.

why would you be drawn to argue if you weren't subjective.
An objective debate is an agreement.

Not at all 3rd Gen. Merely demonstrating extremes. I wasn&#39;t prepared for such technology (as the hedgehog said to the JCB).

ignorant people are just humans as well unfortunately...

I cannot expect of everyone sharing thoughts openly cause ppl are just humans,
although I am trying to share my thoughts openly to understand each other better ;)

~nice dreams...

What about subjective objectivity? Or is that an argument?
