I like the way these people present their arguments. I do. In the company of such succinct and well spoken people I nod enthusiastically and fater when i speak. Ideas sound but words fail in a race to keep up.

Yea, I wish I had that vocal and verbal talent myself. Would've made life much easier for me.

Ironically I actually do Ok in being persuasive and presnt myself well enough in logical discourse BUT it depends on what type of person I am speaking to.
I am slow and measured in what I say and speak with an Aussie drawl which doesn't help at all.
In a fast flowing debate i keep up mentally and process as it flows but to interupt and think through my answer and then articulate takes time and this is not what a fast flowing debate is like. The ideas will be sound and given time to lay it out will make intelligent and meaningful response but again in a room with people who both follow the debate and fire well informed and thought out answers in clipped articulate responses, I am completely out of contention for worthy input.

 It sounds as if you acquit yourself far better than I would, at least you think of answers!
 In confrontational situations I tend to go blank and lose all confidence.

I can debate in real life quite well if it's about a topic I'm obsessed with (despite my slow speech). But when they talk politics and cars and stuff, I tend to stay quiet and try my best to understand every word they;re saying from the first go (which I fail to do so I blank out, too).

I loove how both Hitchens and Fry get sick of her stupid assed questions and leave. 

[Calavera]

Looks like you watched the full video because I don't remember Fry leaving in that clip.

By the way, she sounds funny, doesn't she?
