    IF by winning you mean that everyone listening agrees with me, then I’ll take on anyone on Fox News.

      Horseshoe theory in action here.

      Wishing death on 150+ million people because of their political beliefs doesn’t make you righteous. You’ve looped all the way around to becoming the exact thing you claim to oppose.

    I’d argue the genie wants to do everything I wish, regardless of the amount of individual wishes.

    What does winning mean in this case? That every single person watching that debate concludes that I was right and the other person was wrong? What about if I’m objectively wrong? Do I still win?

        It’s a monkey paw of an outcome.

        You win the argument; but it does not change his mind on the subject. 😬

          Depends on what you’re arguing about. I mean, you could say “that hamburger will kill you” and he’ll eat it to spite you.

      Wow. You’re good at this.

      I’m going to use my wish to talk you into hiring me as your personal driver for like a year, so I can learn your wisdom.

      That’s so well played.

        Jokes on you, I’d probably enjoy that so I wouldn’t argue. Especially if I’m crazy rich, what else would I have to do?

    My father, and the argument would be about his political views. Radicalized years ago but the taking heads on Fox.

    Yeah, this really depends on what you meant by winning here. Are we actually changing the other person’s mind or do they admit we are right, but still believe otherwise? Are people who witness the argument included? Do people continue to agree indefinitely? Does it change reality to match?
