Sneaky tactics

So when I disagree with an argument what I usually do is argue in favor of it but really weakly. I'll do this several times over and over. It's so much easier than trying to argue against with a good argument since people tend to just ignore anything they don't agree with regardless.

Another thing I do is setup hypnotism. If I want a "yes" for example, I'll start with a series of questions that person would agree with:
"It's hot out today",
"yeah,
"The sun's been way too bright here with these open plains",
"Absolutely",
"Remember when we went to that shaded spot by the fountain?"
"Yes.",
"Let's do that again",
"Sounds good"

And bam, you have a date.

Any sneaky tactics you guys use day-in day-out?

I usually slip a date rape pill into a drink...

"The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments."

OT, no, although I do sometimes argue for something I disagree with fallaciously.

Oh God I knew someone would quote Nietzsche.

Make your opponent think you're weak.
Let him build up argumentative steam.
Then, just as he thinks he's won, gently point out an obvious hole at the beginning of his argument.
As he tries to fix it, throw him into disarray by going to the end of his argument and annihilating an assumption.
Laugh triumphantly, and have a banana.

That's pretty fucking ruthless bro.

[Added to my arsenal...]

argument instantly won.

It was on my little "Quotes of the day" thing on my homepage. Yesterday. ;__;

Ordin, that is a cool idea right there.
