I never paid much attention to his debates, but from what little snippets I’ve seen, along with the “Prove Me Wrong” schtick seems to indicate he already decided he was right and others were wrong.

There’s plenty of rhetoric and memes already, I’d like to avoid more rhetoric and memes, and I ask this question with genuine curiosity and earnest desire for learning and understanding.

    By “properly” you seem to mean “giving me the answer I wanted even if it’s wrong, without any evidence to support it”.

      “properly” meaning avoiding meme answers and rhetoric like many other commenters have done, i.e.:

      • Once and the message stuck with him for the rest of his life.
      • Who cares? He’s dead now.
      • I heard he started leaning left shortly before his death.

          Lying isn’t the issue here. “He’s dead, who cares?” does absolutely nothing to answer my question.

          Jokes about his death (leaning left, “once for the rest of his life”) does absolutely nothing to answer my question.

              I asked for any times Charlie has had his mind changed after debating. Instead, certain individuals have done anything but that.
