So, you don't agree with any of these statements?

1) George Bush is a questionable President.
2) George Bush is a BAD President.
3) George Bush is a good President.
4) George Bush is a great President.

I think that might officially qualify you as being argumentative.

6) The Iraq war is a necessary war.
9) America is the shining beacon of hope and freedom for the world.
17) God don't exist.
