I am finding it quite interesting how the debate is developing. Shibboleth says that in his opinion people who get tattoos are stoopid (sic) and the rest of the world tells him he's wrong, to which the natural defence is to support your argument with logic and reason to say people who get tattoos are stupid. Repeat until you get bored.
Now, Shibboleth, I too work as a communications professional as a Teacher Communication Facilitator and after much searching on Google I have failed to find the "stick your fingers in your ears and go lalalalalal!" debating method. It appears to be a most effective method of promoting oneself as an intellectual, as a rational person and as a valuable member of society. I think it would be something interesting to offer my students clients. If you could give me some more information,I'd be very grateful.
