I just finished arguing with an acquaintance over who should be the president of the youth group. It's not exactly a very important position, but it looks good for college. Anyway, I was trying to convince this girl that she should become the president. Of course, I'm not very good at arguing, but I tried to use the example of her being the most important part of any praise song the youth group does because she played the drums. It is, in my humble opinion, true that the drum can play a very large part, especially when it is only one in 3 instruments. It is necessary to have it be correct at all times. It seemed like a pretty legitimate reason that she was important and should take over the seat of president.
The other options for this position are myself and this other friend of mine that is a very good athlete. I really don't want to become the president because I don't enjoy having to converse with my pastor. He's a great guy and all, but sometimes it seems like he doesn't have a clue about the bible...
Anyway, my acquaintance/friend was trying to convince me that I should e the president, but I argued that the president should live near the church so that they can easily go and meet up with the pastor... At which point the argument sort of stopped abruptly as another member of the youth group lessened the tensions by joking around about my acquaintance/friend's inability to be the president because of a lack of mental skills.
There was a little more to the argument, this is only my side, but I feel like it was pretty even in the end when it came to use of evidence and information. I wonder who will end up being the president?...
