Let's get straight to it


Here's an example of how negation can lead to better discussions or better point making in debates:

Original Statement: @Pdiddy is a ladies' man

Opposite Statement: @Pdiddy is makes the p*ssy dry

Negation: @Pdiddy is not a ladies' man​

When you say he makes the p*ssy dry, it makes it harder to prove your point. Some of the women you see in the GoPro might actually have a thing for Stephen A Smith lookalikes.

When you say he is not a ladies' man, this is much more easy to backup. Most of the women you see in his videos have a look of fear or disappointment. Also he dresses like a public defender going to a porn conversion. These are clearly not the makings of a ladies' man.


Another example....


Original Statement: Drake makes music the hood actually listens to

Opposite Statement: Drake makes music for cacs to drink kegs to

Negation: Drake does not make music the hood actually listens to​


The opposite statement is just not fair. He also makes music for Indians, Mexicans and Suburb Brehs.

The negation is also not the easiest to prove, but there are a myriad of artists you can bring up and say that are actually listened to in the hood in comparison to Drake.


Thank you for your time. I will be happy to read and respond to your thoughts and opinion.
