Presence and persistent plausibility will always surpass articulate academic argument. You only need your opponent to doubt their own argument and the case is won. It is not a case of proving your own argument but a case of destroying theirs.
First one to swear out of frustration loses.

Considering that Red or Titian Gold, haired people make up only 1-2% of the people on the planet they make an ideal minority. In terms of "harm done" per 1,000,000 or the planet's population the "cost/benefit ratio" falls into figures, that compared to most minority groupings, are quite small.
Because the genetic mutation appears to be associated with the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R), which is found on chromosome 16, it would be a simple task to breed this trait out of humanity within a few generations. However, as always there are knock-on effects associated with such a solution. Having eliminated all traces of this minority inducing phenomenon it is likely that those with the propensity to indulge in hatred will find another means of labelling small groups of people on which to vent their hive-mind behaviour and that group would, inevitably, be larger.
I, for one, would like to thank all people with raised levels of pheomelanin for taking on this onerous task and perhaps we could allow a few of them to play for Canterbury.. -

The customer is always right, problem is that the consumer is no longer the customer, the advertisers are the customer. If the consumer is not happy it is because the delivery service is at fault (Blame the Messenger?).
So, if we didn't like the last 50 years of TVNZ then it must be sold to a company that "Understands" the market.
See, it's all a Right Wing Plot. -
