ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659 -- from Joe Burton. - Obvious Winner - Disgruntled Copywriter &I DO ANYTHING& Craigslist... SCHOPENHAUERS 38 STRATAGEMS, OR 38 WAYS TO WIN AN ARGUMENT. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860), was a brilliant German philosopher. These 38 Stratagems are excerpts from "The Art of Controversy", first translated into English and published in 1896. Carry your opponent's proposition beyond its natural limits; exaggerate it. The more general your opponent's statement becomes, the more objections you can find against it. The more restricted and narrow his or her propositions remain, the easier they are to defend by him or her.

Use different meanings of your opponent's words to refute his or her argument. Ignore your opponent's proposition, which was intended to refer to a particular thing. Rather, understand it in some quite different sense, and then refute it.

They complain that the sun is too hot. They think that everyone is against them. Every little bit of difficulty is exaggerated to the point of tragedy. They never seem to move forward because they're always afraid to come out of their comfort zones.

Number 2 - They Act Before They Think. They move based on instinct or impulse. Then they see something better. Then they spend & spend again until nothing's left. They don't think about the consequences. Number 3 - They Talk Much More Than They Listen They want to be the star of the show. Oftentimes they are not aware that what they're saying is not sensible anymore. When other people advise them, they close their ears because they're too proud to admit their mistakes.

In their mind they're always correct. Number 4 - They Give Up Easily Successful people treat failures as stepping stones to success. Then they go & search for a new one. When Insults Had Class | Maryannaville
