It would have been interesting if GMMore were the same debate with flipped sides . . .

Rhett = Cats / Link = Dogs

We'll let the video evidence speak for itself

Rhett's stance still bothers me... I've ranted about it before, so I'll spare you guys from hearing the whole thing again. I wish Rhett would take the time to get to know some cats, because it's painfully obvious he's never been around any. Things like "dogs are just better" or "cats just look evil" aren't exactly unbiased statements. And for the record, cleaning up after a dog doesn't mean you're building a relationship with it. You can care for a dog without became attached to it. I've owned both cats and dogs before. I prefer owning cats because they are lower maintenance. I'm not sure why that should be considered a negative.

Okay, I'll stop now. I could go on like this for a while if left unchecked. :-P

Why can be both

Yeah, I think we all know what side of this debate line I fall on already, haha...

However, the rhetorician in me is going to review this Debate-O-Rama. If we try to be objective here, Rhett's arguments were definitely much weaker than Link's and based almost entirely on emotional appeals (pathos) rather than fact-based rationale (logos). Link used historical references and cited numerous studies, including a financial report! Rhett mostly just claimed that dogs make you happy and cats look evil, with minor inclusion of a study about cardiovascular effects.

Also..."No word on any cat ever fighting for freedom." Oh really?

"Cats only help themselves." Is that so?

Rhett loses this one based on lack of supporting evidence and failure to employ even remotely objective measures of argumentation. Link is the winner!

Oh yeah? Dogs rule and cats drool (although, actually, dogs do drool quite a bit as well)

The way to a woman's heart is through a worms anus, not through worms in a cat's anus. I had to say it.
