I like to debate, but I often find myself out of my league!  There are a lot of really smart people on EP.

You come at some people with logic and they won't accept it, you give them backed up scientific facts and they still won't accept it. I just don't understand these people!! e.g. I had a debate with someone who said a chiropractor...
