debating quotes/smart analogies (1 Viewer)

i was an audience to a debate the other day and the third speaker was quite funny.

"Chairperson, opposition, ladies and gentlemen. The affirmative team have led you down a dark, narrow windy path without no torch. WE ARE THE LIGHT"

post your own or ones that you've heard!

"without no torch" actually means there IS a torch, think about it carefully.

that's the same for people who say 'i can't do nothing', or 'it ain't no sunshine' (yes it is a line from a song).

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think the OP probably just made a mistake.

WITHOUT A TORCH = NO TORCH

WITHOUT NO TORCH = WITH TORCH

it's logic.

he wants to do 4u eng, he is not in it yet. but i guess he will soon realise it is a dream all too hard to realise - let's see if he gets this one.

but to contribute to the post -
friends, women, countrymen, lend me your ears.
good way to get things going. a bit risky if you have feminists in the room.
