I'll admit that the tank got you out of WWI, but I'll chalk that up to American ingenuity because we invented the caterpillar track, as for WWII, that was Hitler being stupid and us taking care of Japan, which I'll chalk up to America again because of Jesse Owens, who probably fried Hitler's brain.

Pretty much.

There are lots of terrible debaters on NSG regardless of their political spectrum. The problem is, the amount people who can (in my opinion anyway) debate the best is overwhelmingly liberal. There's maybe a handful of those proficient debaters who posts from a conservative viewpoint. NSG would be much better if both sides of the political spectrum were equally represented. And it's not a matter of liberals always being right, frankly a conservative viewpoint is often needed to question the value of progress.

In political spectrum terms, I'm to the left but I frequently find myself debating from the right purely because it's nice to have an opposing viewpoint.
