Thank you for smoking

This movie is a hilarious satire that shines a comedic light on the life of a Tobacco Lobbyist. This character is my idol! When it comes to spinning the truth, he is the master. While the humor is well crafted, the character truly is a witty sophist.

So what can this movie teach you? Well, I’ve bolded the quotes…

IF you can argue well, you can never be wrong. That statement is so true. On the flip side, it also doesn’t mean that you will always be right either.

I’m not trying to convince you; I’m trying to convince them. When lawyers or public speakers argue with each other, it doesn’t matter if they have to convince the person they are arguing with at all. The truth is, that doesn’t matter – it’s only icing on the cake. What actually “is” important is the swayed decisions of the people watching, whether it be a jury or a group of spectators at a political debate.
