I always go straight for the ones who disagree with me the most, in any discussion. I try to ascertain where our beliefs differ and why, and expose the weaknesses and assumptions of their stance and the strengths and truths of my own.

When it comes to the issue of drug prohibition, I have spoken to countless people who vehemently believe that marijuana should be illegal, but when I push the argument and search deeply for the logical and moral grounds upon which they build their argument, I unfailingly force them to concede the argument.

Usually they won't admit that they've lost and change the subject or fall back onto pure opinion or religion, but I know that I've won, and if I want to really push the envelope (if i don't care if I look like an asshole, or don't care if this person respects me) I'll just rip apart their attempt to disguise their loss.

I never get into an argument I'm not certain I can win, and I don't argue my case to people who don't hold views contrary to my own.
