  • this really helped me in my debate ! but i really need to ask ... i am a 16 year old and they threw at me a pretty tough subject "The House Believes President Assad Must Resign" please i need help really fast

  • he isn't good at arguing he just makes videos were people cant tell him to his face and he can blow off comments if he doesn't want to read em

  • @coleisawesome532 She is not good at arguing because she isnt presented with rebuttals, because you can any day present a rebuttal and point out a fallacious argument she said, just make a video. She is good at arguing because she considers a lots of possibilities and their possible outcomes and then she discerns between which are logically consistent and which are fallacious, is not that difficult to comprehend, is it?

  • Simplified answer: Don't use an unrelated stance to argue your point.

    Example: Gays are bad because my religion says so. That is a automatic failure as religion has no bearing on the real world.

  • You sounded like you were trying to teach preachers also the point to a good debate is not to change your apponets mind but to convince the spectators that your case is more correct

  • @enlightenedjuggalo Good point, its very unlikely to convince the person you are arguing with because most people wont admit being wrong, and they deny the arguments they cant stand, while a third person is less involved and thus more open, although this doesnt prevent any personal biases.

  • Transgendered?

  • @kelsblev just a cross dresser 

  • this video is so fucking stupid all of its videos are fucking stupid

  • What the hell thats so stupid Most people know how argue Duh you make the stupidest vidoes you know it. are you a he, she or an it

  • @leena77079 your awsome leena

  • @leena77079 People do not know how to argue, otherwise there wouldnt be so many different opinions, since they would accept true arguments instead of denying them, just like insane christians do. Not even to mention all the fallacies they say, which is clearly a sign of not knowing how to argue.

  • @alelp I said MOST people know how. o you not know what most means?

  • Awesome.

  • watch?v=DF9ktflc8cI she stupid

  • Why do you talk like a fucking robot do i have to beat you on the head so you can talk right

  • @Din0surP4rt34h i know i cant stand he or she or its videos anymore!

  • @Din0surP4rt34h Probably an Aspie... I have Aspergers, and a monotone verbal communication is a pretty common symptom in Aspies.

  • @Din0surP4rt34h She doesnt talk like a robot, what pill are you taking man? Arguing is not something you can easily do with lots of emotions, since you are more concerned about all the possibilities you should consider, than anything else. But its been always like this, people value more emotion than arguments, no wonder why religion exists.

  • Comment removed

  • @LichBoo holy fuck that is eeewwwwwwww Y WOULD U LKE DAT O_O

  • hmm, interesting. can you counter this argument? you're a noob bitch owned later

  • Slow as I am, this requires some rewatching.

    But there is knowledge in your work. *high five*

  • How to argue well: Be right. I loled. That's truly excellent advice. I love you, ZJ!

  • you argue about god in the christian form AND YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT STUPID ASS

  • @BeAsTmOdE12254

    Nice punctuation.

  • @BeAsTmOdE12254 ...she was raised a Christian. How does she not know about that?

  • cool someone invented a machine to make fiction into reality and put a cartoon witch in it.....what a world we live in

  • WHAT THE FUCK?!

    I swear this girl was a guy in 2008. I've seen that video... WHAT THE FUCK

  • THANK YOU!

  • I want to grope you so bad

  • i hope you die

    

  • Wat the fuck is tat a guy !!!!!! Faggot :|

  • proved*

    

  • This... this was fun to hear. Not often do I find a person that speaks so beautifully. And the suggestions you make are so...so...

    I'm sorry. I'll just be straight forward. This was a great and well researched video. I once met a scientist that told me to stand my ground until I was proven wrong with strong, concrete evidence. You remind me of him, with your feet planted firmly on the ground.

    Do keep your outstanding viewpoint of expression as it is a true masterpiece all on its own.

  • do u suck balls??

  • @ZJemptv

    Let's see you try to argue with me, I'm about as reasonable as Charlie Sheen after snorting 3 pounds of coke.

  • yes sir... :8^(

  • when you say "know yourself" do you mean in the biblical sense?

    I've gotten a lot of my best arguments from Robert Anton Wilson, Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Michio Kaku, Fred Allan Wolf and Sam Harris

  • You are brilliant.

  • What the....

  • @kinkyderby don't worry, the first time you watch this guys video it totally fucks with your brain. but everything he says is completely true and logical.

  • @MegaGreendayfan101 You might consider listening to him then, and not just calling someone a "tosser" because you don't agree with them.

  • @Hirokaze when did i call someone a tosser?

  • @MegaGreendayfan101 You called me a tosser in the "King Crab Cut Up while still alive by Chinese Chef" video a day ago.

  • @Hirokaze any your still whinging about it and responding to it on another video? go. fuck. yourself.

  • @MegaGreendayfan101 Still? No, hardly. I checked your page after I replied to you on the other video, saw this in your activity and thought it was a hilarious little bit of irony so I decided to. . .

  • @MegaGreendayfan101 drop a comment here too. I'm only replying now because you asked a question. I was just giving you an answer. Still, pretty funny.

  • you sound like a computer voice...so monotone..

  • You make really good videos :) Ignore the dickheads leaving stupid comments, they obviously can't even understand you.

  • how to argue well? don't look like meg from family guy. everything you say will result in the party saying "shut up, meg"

  • U were talking too fast fie me to follow XD

  • arguings for children imo but ok... and once again.... boy or girl.. i needs to no!

  • @percyal1 watching this video will answer your question:

    /watch?v=czIyk9jLEL0&feature=p­lcp&context=C3104b03UDOEgsToPD­skIpVB5VzlySZ3-drDxcIZjc

    but i have to know: would you be a bit offended if someone asked you what gender you were?

    zinnia has made it clear he (yes, he is a man and considers himself as one) doesnt mind being mistaken for the other gender. but just because he's okay with it, doesn't make it any less rude.

    don't be rude.

  • @MzCheshireKat well where i come from if sim1 called me that theyd get there ass beat but thnx for the info and i mean... its rlly hard to tell imo -.-

  • How does a Zinnia thrive in this troll garden?

  • Zinnia: You are making an assumption that people give any regard to logic, reason, truth, substantiation, evidence and the like. You assume that people will listen to you when you use "soundness" or appeal to reason. A case in point is when one clearly states that they do not believe in any gods and that a bible means nothing to them other than being an old book. So often, the sole counter argument (and I use that term very loosely) is the citation of a passage from the bible. Should we bother?

  • @manskank0 first, ZJ actually stated in his video that people won't always respond to reason.

    second, we shouldn't feel comfortable stooping to their level. in an argument, both sides SHOULD always respect reason and truth, but they don't always do so. doesn't make it any less important to be morally correct in argumenst. that way, if the person flat out ignores reason and the argument turns out to be fruitless, you can still be satisfied by your own validity. its a gratifying feeling

  • douch bag

  • Your such a serious french fry....

  • for a guy hes pretty ....i dont meen that in a gay way and if u thought i did ....what ever?

  • The negative dislike butt-pounders can go flush all of their blood down a public toilet!

  • Reason #1 was awesome - "Be right"

  • thats a guy!

  • Female or male? i am confused!!

  • "I wouldn't say I am" stopped the video right there. I agree. You suck at life too. cya

  • @svcghost *Slow clap to infinity.*

  • I enjoyed this video. I'm quite good at arguing as well, but you showed me some tips and guidelines to avoid some mistake I do when having a discussion with some one else. I confess I sometimes end up criticize the person rather than the idea/beliefs, but it's because sometimes people are so blind to certain basic lines of reasoning that I find myself astonished...Oh and some comments in here...I really hope you don't read the majority of them, they're worse than spam 0o

  • I find this funny, seeing as your religious videos (the ones i've seen so far) are invalid and misinformed stances, which anyone with a basic understanding of christian apologetics can refute. But hey, everyone has their hobby.

  • @narutardtedr Funny from a guy that actually thinks the idea of "GOD exists/doesn't exist" is still a debate. Please, if you're that smart make a video and expose that views....oh wait, you'll just get revealed as ignorant. Oh wait, you already are. That video about gay people should accept society's hatred on them is hilarious...oh wait not really. It shows ignorance and loads of ignorance about how society should work. But hey, everyone has their hobby.

  • @zoth00 Hey, as luck would have it i had time to do such a thing today. I just uploaded my video refuting some of the ones...he...she....ZINNIA made. Oh and if that "God exists/doesn't exist" thing is a challenge to debate me i'm open, ready and willing. As i have debated, and beaten, many atheists in debate on this very subject. So i'm willing to debate. Just PM me if you believe god exists or not, and your argument for your stance and we'll debate it out.

  • This is just sick

    

  • homo

  • you make it sound like a facebook game..

  • i think. chest hair. ? distracted.

  • im gonna stop watching ur vids... getting weirder abd weirder...

  • YOU ARE SO GOOD AT ARGUING. wait what? he/she posts videos and does not listen to the other side? be right? is that why all his/her videos are ignorant? hmmmm nah this is legit.

  • I already know how to argue.......... Why am I here?

  • this guy must be so boss at arguing

  • Why are these comments so long?

  • Do you read much John Stuart Mill? You seem to have a similar Socratic bent towards interlocution.

  • So Spock did have offspring after all.

    Seriously though, you look like you know what you're talking about.

    Your matter-of-fact delivery and logicist underpinnings are something to aspire to (in my view).

    Your voice I must admit threw me outa my seat. I thought I was going to hear a sweet voice from a nice educated girl, but I guess that was my straight programming influencing me !

  • Dont go acting like your inteligent and mature now just becuse u thought i got my "knickers in a twist" you are rediculous just like any othe idiot that comes saying stupid things and yours was by far the stupidest...many people will agree...and tucking my dick between my legs?? did u get that insult on the back of a Cereal box? "ROFLMAO"!!! who is the moron? still you...

  • @Yacovsup "Feeding the Trolls". This is when people say stuff that they know will prompt someone to respond with a trolled reply and/or replying to comments that are blatantly from a troll. This is especially true when a troll first makes his comment/reply, and (usually many) people respond, either trying to correct the troll, or express anger at the statement. At that point, the trolling was successful and has been fed. When encouraged by success and feeding, trolls often return.

  • @damo4576 OMG you are so right!!! u sir succede in life because ur some intenet troll...That is just another stupid contradicting argument because u got ticked off as well and started to insult me with usless name calling...and me putting my dick between my legs...You probably arentt aware of the first comment u posted go read it and be aware of your own stupidity.

  • nice hair...

  • What is it?  D:

  • The amount of negative comments shows how many stupid people are out there!

  • I love him/her! I posted a hateful comment because I know he won't take it seriously AND I wish mock others. Ultimately those insults are meaningless. I watched this one because his hair is beautiful being long and straight. It's weird thinking of him as gay and not trans, maybe there is an update on this subject idk I don't follow religiously.

  • I bet the Sex is great ....

  • I'm proud to have met you.

  • lol ZJ in 2:55 u pretty much stated how religious people argue with athiest.

  • The only reason I can see as to why you win arguments is because you're soooo fucking boring. They probably give up early just to get away from you. Learn sign language and have an argument with a deaf person, they'll kick your prolapsed ass.

  • @damo4576 shes boring to ignorant people or people that just dont care(like you) I find the things she brings up are educational and interesting...Go live in your own little cave and come out whenever u mature the reason why im telling you this is becuse people like you just come here to insult and your comment was really stupid....Aand a deaf person is probably much smarter and openminded than you anyways.

  • @Yacovsup Hello!!, this is youtube comments!! Look at you getting your knickers in a twist over some comment I made. LOL. You got trolled. Why answer? Why? I am mature, but this is youtube, where people love to beat down people's opinions, like what you're doing, you moron. Don't get so hot headed dear, why don't you stand in front of the mirror naked with your dick tucked between your legs, you know it makes you feel oh so special. ROFLMAO.

  • @damo4576

    Perhaps you'd be better entertained by "The Jerry Springer Show"...

  • @ClumsyRoot Jesus, ask 100 people to choose between this and Jerry Springer and come back to me with the results, but be aware, ya gonna look stoopid.

  • @thomaseshuis In this day and age, it's all about entertainment, unfortunately that entertainment varies in quality and I'm not saying Jerry Springer is top quality, just better entertainment in MY OPINION. Of course, you'd be misguided if you thought you could change or influence the opinion of either me or the 100 people you've not bothered to ask which they'd prefer, Jerry or Tranny, although I can see the 2 complimenting each other.

  • @thomaseshuis you must be seriously confused, I said that if you asked 100 people who they would rather watch they'd probably opt for Jerry. Where exactly did I put Jerry Springer and Intelligence together? Your a fool, and now you're twisting facts too. Admittedly, I was trolling, and you've fallen head first for it, you have no business talking about intelligence, lol. Oh and someone keeps marking all your posts as spam, and it's not me, lol, give it up.

  • @damo4576 "I said that if you asked 100 people who they would rather watch they'd probably opt for Jerry. Where exactly did I put Jerry Springer and Intelligence together?"

    Here: "Jesus, ask 100 people to choose between this and Jerry Springer and come back to me with the resultslook stoopid."

  • @thomaseshuis you misunderstood, I meant if people had to choose to watch either, they'd most likely opt for Jerry Springer BASED ON ENTERTAINMENT VALUE. Of course this is on a higher level both in intelligence and intellectually but I never, in any of my comments disputed that, so your comment holds no weight. Besides, I'm trolling, have been the whole time, and your constant vain counters are a trolls dream. Intelligence? An intelligent person would have ignored me at the start.

  • @damo4576 "Your a fool" More immature and baseless name-calling.

    "Admittedly, I was trolling, and you've fallen head first for it" Since I'm not upset, I haven't fallen for your childish comments.

    "you have no business talking about intelligence" A troll trying to tell me about intelligence, hah that's hilarious.

    "Oh and someone keeps marking all your posts as spam" Seems to be normal around YT, I see it happening on other video´s and not just to my comments

  • @thomaseshuis "Feeding the Trolls". When people say stuff that they know will prompt someone to respond with a trolled reply and/or replying to comments that are blatantly from a troll.

  • @damo4576

    Your comment is a non sequitur. 

  • @ClumsyRoot Indeed, maybe all those that are so enraged at my posts should go look it up, maybe then they'd dismiss my comments and move on, THAT to me is a greater show of maturity than arguing. Nice vocabulary btw.

  • @damo4576 "THAT to me is a greater show of maturity than arguing." If you believe this, then why don't you act like that?

  • @damo4576 "The only reason I can see as to why you win arguments is because you're soooo fucking boring" Yes, because the severe lack of counterarguments from you is sure to prove her wrong isn't it?

    Maybe you should try to come up with some arguments instead of childish ad-hominem attacks. Or even better, don't watch her video's if you don't like her.

  • @thomaseshuis What makes you think I'm trying to prove him/her/it wrong? Believe it or not, I'm not arguing here, but you are trying to instigate an argument. I simply found him/her/it relentlessly boring, the delivery, the dead-pan, emotionless delivery was a major contributing factor to that. I don't see any personality there at all, just some tranny android reading from a script. I'm not arguing, just airing my opinion, and I'm entitled (like everyone) to my opinion. Fuck you.

  • @damo4576 "What makes you think I'm trying to prove him/her/it wrong?" The completely baseless claim that the only reason she wins is because she is 'boring'.

    "Believe it or not, I'm not arguing here` Then what was the point of your insult?

    "but you are trying to instigate an argument." If anyone seems to be doing that it is you with your original comment.

  • @damo4576 1, Who's boring? You didn't specify who you were talking about. You had the space to include their names if needed.

    2. (Assuming it was @ZJemptv) It's a shame you didn't find this video interesting. I personally wasn't bored and found this list to be very intelligent, educational, unbiased and informative.

    3. If someone isn't passionate enough about their beliefs, morals or values to defend them wholeheartedly then maybe they should give up. I wouldn't blame the opponent.

  • @0x0DissonantSoulsx0x Oh man, now you're boring me too, curse the day I wandered into the weird side of YouTube.

  • @damo4576 I get it now ... you're a troll. :) You're just saying shit to be saying shit. A regular person would realize I was simply asking them questions because I wanted to understand them better and wouldn't consider that attempt at knowing them a little better as "boring".

    But you're a troll so you aren't here for reasonable debate or discussion, you're just here to add on to the negativity already had in the comments section of this video.

    My apologies then. Keep on troll'n :)

  • like if yhu looked at the picture and thought.......i wanna see how retarted this is..nd then...found out she sounds like a man....

  • What the fuck is wrong you?

  • Your good at arguing because your a woman.

  • @Mystery207 (Pssst, Zinna's a guy)

  • @Chayraz2 I'd still hit it like a hockey puck while the goalie is being distracted at the last inning for the winning goal, That also explains a few things

  • Do you have a transcript of this video or the techniques discussed?

  • "If you do end up being wrong, admit it, update your own positions, learn from it, and move on." ---- EXCELLENT.

  • i love your accent but i couldn't meet you id shit myself

  • These comments are wrong... but HILARIOUS!

  • @nohbdyknows9

    ZJ is a gay man not a women with a mans voice lol

  • He's got a girlfriend, though....

  • @t0xicm0nk3y1 Obviously, Dumbass. Read the post!

  • I appreciate your views. I am reading a book on thinking critically and arguing effective. Thank you for your view

    Sidenote: I am completely straight and you are the hottest girl I've ever seen with a man's voice. Great job on your appearance. I wish more girls dressed like you.

  • @NohbdyKnows9 I hope you're joking about the "hottest girl" thing, because "she" is actually gay.

  • @almostroks Obviously, Dumbass!

  • @NohbdyKnows9 Alright bro, you know, there are people that actually think hes a girl, and actually think he looks good, I just wanted to make sure you weren't one of them.

  • Is it just me or she like reading a script or might just be a fucking robot

  • @ChristiaaNxFTW She/he does read a script but also she has the same voice cadence in every video so she/he may still be a robot.

  • THIS IS INFORMATIVE IF YOUR IN COMMUNICATIONS/INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION AS A MAJOR.

  • WHEN DOES SHE BREATHE???

  • @DARIUSSR612 that is how you argue well never breath it just takes too much time

  • you’d be a good lawyer.

  • I thought ur a man im confused??????/

  • @GamerReviewsDaily I am too. This is creepy.

  • you sound a lot like Hal 'Otacon' Emmerich from Metal Gear Solid.

  • @woofenstein1 -_- in case you can't tell, that's a back ground. a.k.a, something we use when we don't want people to see what's behind us, so i guess you could say, this is a fals back ground, also, you're a moron, have a nice life...

  • i read all these comments and everyone seems to hate this bitch.... but yet the like bar is fuking huge

  • @zboymichaels Zinna covers the subject matter so well that there's little left to say to further support her argument.

    So the majority of people who comment are thouse who disagree with her.

  • @zboymichaels The information is still good.

  • @zboymichaels It's a guy... lolfail

  • Too much estrogen makes guys like this give up on their manhood.

  • It's Sheldon Coopers girlfriend Amy Ferrafowler off Big Band Theory !

  • This is like listening to the fkin cd that comes with my english book where the readers sound like supernatural robots that take no breaths.

  • Freaking weird yo!

  • your voice is so fucking annoying!

  • you really fuckin freak me out

  • You aren't good at arguing, you THINK you are good at arguing at topics that are pointless at arguing. You aren't going to change anyone's views, especially because we have no idea what gender you are.

  • @FilmPriest which gender are you? want to talk about it?

  • @0o0o099999 Well if I were to post I video, it would be very clear. Unlike this 'thing', I don't dress up as the opposite gender.

  • @FilmPriest There is a difference between "sex" and "gender". "Sex" is solely to do with your genitalia while "gender" on the other hand is a mental thing. If one is born with a non-matching sex and gender, you will get people who are physically male yet are mentally female. He's not dressing like the opposite gender, because his gender includes feminine characteristics. I'm not sure how he identifies himself, but I'm pretty sure he's dressing to what feels right in is his mind.

  • @FilmPriest homophobic, and a non-sequitur

  • @FilmPriest How does a person's gender affect the truth of his or her statements?

  • @FilmPriest Did you just completely fucking miss the first 10 seconds of the video?

  • It's the real-life Daria!

  • And you bash on Ted Haggard.... Uhhh

  • "Presidential" style debate procedure:

    1) Poison the well with impossible to verify/falsify claims.

    2) Construct and maintain straw-men of your opponents if you can get away with it.

    3) Make consistent logical fallacies as long as they are subtle and the audience you know will be cheering for you is too stupid to decipher them.

    4) Shout slogans and catch phrases

    5) If the opponent offers a written correspondence instead, call him a pussy for not "taking you on" and then turn it down.
